Rumor Mill: IW's Next Game Will be About Ghost

Source: http://www.maximumpc.com/article/news/rumor_infinity_wards_next_modern_warfare_be_prequel_based_ghost

Let's see, an Activision Blizzard game starring a former side-character called “Ghost”? Hoo boy, we've been down this road before, and it doesn't end well. Ok, cancellation fears concerning a possibly non-existent game aside, a site called thisisxbox.com fired up the old rumor mill, and it hacked up some dust, cobwebs, and a big hint about Infinity Ward's next entry in the Modern Warfare series.

Apparently, it won't be Modern Warfare 3, as originally suspected. Instead, a “source within the industry” told the site that the new game will star everybody's favorite “Gee, I wish I was playing as that guy” Modern Warfare 2 character, Ghost. The story will follow the conspicuously style-conscious soldier up to the events of Modern Warfare and then into his Task Force 141 days as detailed by an already released comic book series. According to the source, areas from both Modern Warfare 1 and 2 will also be revisited, but from different perspectives.

Infinity Ward refused to confirm or deny the rumor, which – in gaming industry speak – often translates to “well, we're not saying 'no'....” But even if you hate the idea with every fiber of your being, Activision's at least making sure you've got approximately marketsaturationfinity options to choose from.

Yay. <---That is all.

Do we really need to visit the same MW locations from a different "perspective"?

I thought Ghost was a cool looking character but he didn't do anything in the game to make him special. Looks like Activision really is out of original ideas for this franchise.

This game will sell though because Ghost has a skull on his mask. Skulls equal millions of dollars in sales....and that is a scientific fact.

It's rumors, just like the pay to play COD game they keep talking about. I'll believe it only when IW confirms what they are working on. If it is then we have a game that goes back into time instead of forward thus delaying all the story line from the MW series. We already know how that story ends anyway, in a ditch with a bullet and being set on fire.

I'd rather have a game about Cpt. Price than Ghost. The only reason people like Ghost if because his codename is "Ghost" and he has skulls on his mask. Other than that, he seems like a android super soldier from the future except he dies in the end. We don't need a fucking prequel.

Sadly, this game will sell trillions and trillions of copies because 12 year olds who touch their pee pees when they get all hard with the IQ of half a BLT sandwich will salivate so hard over the cool skulls that their parents will have to shell out the money for 3-4 copies or they'll roll around on the floor kicking screaming "You're not my parents! You're not my parents!" in a public place until the cops show up.

The game will suck. And I will not buy it.

This seems pointless. Since Ghost is just Gaz, we will see CoD4 again from the same perspective. That sounds boring. And don't try to argue that Ghost != Gaz. They are voiced by the same guy and since Gaz's face was all messed up from getting shot, that's why Ghost wears that mask. And also, revenge is like a Ghost, so it's actually just Gaz out for revenge. Very much like skull masks equalling millions of dollars in sales, this is a scientific fact.

Ohh geez

CoD doesn't even have a story anyway. Did you know the Cpt. Price in CoD 1 is the same as the Cpt. Price in CoD4? I mean why else would he use such an old 1911?

Wow this basically sounds like the same thing as Bioshock 2.

"So, we made a game that had a really cool character in it. This character was loved by all and everyone WANTS to play as this character. Let's make our next game have you play as this cool character."

You know, nevermind that besides looking cool, there wasn't really much to either the Big Daddys nor Ghosts. In Bioshock 2, your Big Daddy plays exactly the same as the guy in Bioshock 1. And I'm sure Ghost will play exactly the same as Soap/Roach/Ramirez/WHOEVER.

Not interested.
