Ghost from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 can hardly ever be seen without a mask, even if there is surprisingly little straw lying around in the game itself. In spite of this, or perhaps because of it, Simon Riley is one of the absolute fan favorites of the Task Force 141 operator, which is undoubtedly also due to his mysterious skull and crossbones look.
If you’ve ever wondered what Ghost looks like without a maskthere is now the answer: dataminers dug through the code of Modern Warfare 2 and found that the Brit with the no-bullshit attitude actually has a sculpted face.
However, be warned of a potential spoiler at this point! Because one or the other player of Modern Warfare 2 assumes that Call of Duty right

Still here? Don’t say later that we didn’t warn you! Unsurprisingly, Ghost looks like his motion capture actor Samuel Rodkin under his mask. Rodkin not only lends the Task Force 141 member his voice and h is expressive eyes, but also his (unseen) appearance.
But it’s best to take a look for yourself at the picture of Ghost’s face that dataminers on Reddit brought to light:

Here’s why Samuel Rodkin is Ghost: Incidentally, only a few weeks ago, colleague Steffi had the opportunity to put the developers of Modern Warfare 2 through their paces. Narrative leads Bryan Bloom and Jeff Negus told her that Samuel Rodkin was cast via video call to play Ghost.
Bloom and Negus were particularly impressed by Rodkin’s expressive eyes, which ultimately also convinced them of the actor. After all, the campaigns of the new Modern Warfare games are particularly character-focused, which is why it was particularly important with Ghost to be able to transport enough emotions despite the mask.
The decision should have paid off: On social networks such as TikTok, a small cult around Simon Riley has flared up, while according to numerous players, the witty dialogues between Ghost and Soap are among the absolute highlights of the single-player campaign.
