Is Ghost really Gaz?

On: Friday, 4 September 2009

Hey readers I've been updating both the media and characters sections on this site in these dry days of news following the trailer. Now correct me if I'm wrong but is this new character people are talking about, Ghost, in fact 'Gaz' in the original Modern Warfare?

Now I know his face was blown off by Zacheav's Desert Eagle on the bridge on Cod4, but that could be why he wears a ghost mask. Furthermore to this they are both voiced by the same voice actor, Craig Fairbrass.

Finally Ghost is in the SAS just like Gaz was and I'm pretty sure at one point in Cod4 Gaz is wearing headphones, just like Ghost in the pic below. Take a look for yourself and please let us know what you think.

Gaz

Ghost

UPDATE: We have made a video showing Gaz's death in an all new view with the aid of some cheats. The results as you'll see are quite interesting.

Derek said...: I don't know, it's really a hard thing to tell, I dont think IW would really bring back characters that you loved, but instead bring you new friends, just like what can happen in real life.
Either way, no matter how much the amount of evidence saying Ghost is Gaz, I'm not going to believe it and get my hopes up that the best character in CoD4 is returning; 4 September 2009 05:53

IW would do something like that though. They're a blockbuster (movie-like) game-making company, and blockbusters do that in sequels. They surprisingly bring back something you wouldn't expect. Gaz coming back after getting his face destroyed with a Desert Eagle would be epic to the story line, just like a movie experience.

I think he's Gaz, and I don't think he got shot in the head but more so in the mouth or somewhere around there.

We'll see.; 4 September 2009 07:16
Kevin said...: just throwing this out there, in call of duty 2 there was also a captain price on the brittish side and he looked exactly the same. maybe his cod4's price's dad.; 4 September 2009 10:08
Anonymous said...: I wouldnt be suprised. A movie like game like this would be awesome. I think it would be great if this were true... huge plot twist.; 4 September 2009 12:32
urmomwashere said...: um well it doesnt look that muych of gaz to me but if it is that would be awsome if the best person in cod4 that got shot by a desert came back that would be crazy so im looking foward to that; 4 September 2009 12:39
King_Dragunov said...: From watching the end of CoD4 again it looks like Gaz gets shot through the back of the head, right the way through, blood everywhere- messy. Suppose it could be Gaz as Infinity Ward could easily play the "he got shot through the mouth" card. But who knows, seems plausible it could be someone from the original MW- perhaps the guy who "died" when the helicopter went down in the nuclear blast. Maybe his face was burnt in the explosion so he wears the bandana to hide it. Just a thought considering he was only declared "K.I.A" for about two seconds. Plus he have the motive of revenge so.... who knows? I can't wait! :D; 4 September 2009 13:23
Vgking7 said...: I think so because in MW2 trailer when Zacheve(or whatever his name is) says revenge is like a GHOST is right when you see Gaz get executed. To me, I think he survived because I think it alreay looked liked he got shot because of all that blood he has on his forehead and then when he is about to shoot he probably moved his head at the last second and it just grazed him.; 4 September 2009 13:25
modernwarfarenews said...: Vgking7,
yeah that is is very good point. Well spotted :); 4 September 2009 14:02
Julio975 said...: Maybe Ghost is Gaz and maybe at on point of the game in the campaign Ghost will say that he was Gaz, but hey thats what i think.; 4 September 2009 15:31
Vgking7 said...: I think that will be explained in the Comic Series. I also must add that what is a really good name for someone that survived execution? Ghost!; 4 September 2009 17:57
Blashemer said...: Yeah, all signs point to Gaz being Ghost. I hope it's true. :); 4 September 2009 18:44
b1gsmk said...: Gaz being ghost makes a whole lot of sense because
1: the name ghost implies that he is dead or suspected dead which makes sense
2: like Vgking said the "revenge is like a ghost" line in the trailer does not make a whole lot of sense unless you put it in the context of Ghost meaning the character Ghost and at that point in the trailer is when gaz is executed
3: like bashemer said it is very 'movie' like to do it
4: it would be awesome cos Gaz is a frekking legend =D; 4 September 2009 19:06
Kevin said...: when is the comic supposed to be released?; 4 September 2009 19:18
Anonymous said...: If gas really is Ghost wouldn't he be the captain instead of soap since he was much more experienced than soap??? and gaz got his whole head raped by a freakin deagle at point blank. Sorry guys but GAZ IS DEAD!!!; 4 September 2009 21:19

Anonymous said...: Technically, a point blank shot from a deagle is not death. There are tons of medical cases where the bullet bounced off the skull or "rode" it around the brain doing no damage. But. yes almost all will die from a gunshot wound to the head.; 4 September 2009 22:11
Anonymous said...: IDK BOUT GAZ...BUT YOUR OFF WITH INFO OF ROACH...IN THE CHARACTER SECTION...YOU DONT KNOW SOAP IS SAS HES DEFINITLY TASK FORCE BUT SAS WAS NEVER SAID...AND IF THAT PIC IS TRULY ROACH THE HES MORE LIKELY TO BE RANGER..ALSO THE COVER ART FROM COD4 WAS A MARINE NOT A SAS MEMBER( LIKE SOAP) SO THE COVER ART OF COD MW2 DOESNT NECESSARLY DEPICT ROACH...; 4 September 2009 23:28

Julio975 said...: Maybe Soap became captain because Gaz was recovering from possible heavy surgery and plastic surgery for a new face, which made him unavailable to be promoted or something like that.; 5 September 2009 00:49
Blashemer said...: I suppose that is a plausible thought, but why would he be working with Soap and the SAS crew?

None of this seems to add up just right. :/; 5 September 2009 00:57
Julio975 said...: Well maybe after a long recovery he was offered a position in Task Force 141 with a new identity?; 5 September 2009 01:15
Scottish-Midgie said...: No one stop to think that Ghost could actually be Captain Price. From what we see at the end of the trailer is him being given chest compressions in a bid to resuscitate him. The scene fades out before we see the true outcome. What if he was resuscitated. What if he was ordered to remain off record like he died but he actually was to continue his duty to fight and remain anonymous as this ghost character?; 5 September 2009 01:16
Anonymous said...: @ the point of the bullet bouncing off or around his skull, that is possible, but I don't think with a fifty cal. In fact that's why the Italian mob liked using .22s so much cause when they put one behind your ear, it's bounces around in your head and makes your brain Swiss cheese, and working in hospitals, I saw this guy who got shot in the ass with a nine mil And it bounced up his spine paralyzingly him, I just saw the after effects of that, and first hand I've seen someone come in the er shot in the neck with a nin mil. Bounced off his jaw bone and came back out, he survived that, while this whole thing about gaz would be pretty sick, realistically getting shot in the head with a fifty cal. I think rather than bouncing off the skull it would take a chunk out of it, I mean check it out on YouTube the kind of recoil they have, (especially the one of the Girl getting recoiled In the forhead lmfao!!) in any case it is a game, and they have pulled things in movies less realistic like angalina Jolie coming back to play in the second wanted movie, so far it doesn't sound like those bits and prices put together make sense but I guess time will tell, add me oN psn = BRIEZHIE; 5 September 2009 01:49
Anonymous said...: Does sound like those bits and pieces make sense**; 5 September 2009 01:52
King_Dragunov said...: @Scottish-Midgie- Captain Price seems like a long shot, he was fairly old and like you said was having chest compressions at the end- he suffered no damage to the face. Why would he wear the ghost mask? Sgt. Jackson seems like a long shot too after reconsidering. As a character he had no real depth after having such a short part in the story. Gaz would be the most plausible and entertaining character to become Ghost as he was pretty integral to the story- he was a legend to be honest.
Plus, reading the Modern Warfare 2 blog on the Ghost comics (http://www.mw2blog.com/modern-warfare-2-comic-to-join-other-mw2-memorabilia/), the part about "(the) comic is a 6-part series delving into the, more legend than history, backstory of Ghost." Really seemed to fit with Gaz. Could a bullet to the head caused some sort of trauma or brain damage that crippled his soldiering skills? This would mean he would have spent a long time training from scratch in all sorts of harsh environments, fueled by revenge, to regain his skills.
Possibly Ghost could be a new character altogether with a more impressive backstory, someone who is trained to kill and nothing more, making him even more badass than anyone featured in CoD4.
Just some speculation I'm throwing out there. :)

@Anonymous above- that video of the girl getting owned by the .50 recoil is hilarious! :D; 5 September 2009 02:02
Scottish-Midgie said...: If I was wanting to keep my identity hidden from jerporidising the mission and so Soap MacTavish didn't recognise me as his old Captain I would sure as hell wear a mask and somewhat be like a ghost so people didn't catch on to me.; 5 September 2009 02:33
Blashemer said...: The one big thing that makes me still think Gaz is Ghost is because of one obvious thing:

The same voice actor.

It's the one and only thing that still keeps me hooked to the idea.; 5 September 2009 07:27
Kevin said...: it probably is gaz because i heard somewhere that the guy who voiced gaz is voicing ghost, i dont think sgt jackson is brittish, and soap has a very different voice.; 5 September 2009 07:36

perhaps, i am stoked :); 5 September 2009 10:45
Julio975 said...: Maybe Ghost wears ear phones because the sound of bullets can affect his head and a mask to conceal his identity and also why is he the only one with glasses? Maybe only Soap knows it's Gaz and that's probably why they don't let you into the torture scene because he'll probably take off his mask. But i hope that Gaz is Ghost.; 5 September 2009 15:23

Scottish-Midgie said...: I just replayed the last mission on single player and I have to say GAZ must be dead. The way he took the shot to the head and went lifeless and no one bothered to check on him. He must be dead and not coming back. IW probs liked the voice talent of the guy who did GAZ and wanted him back for a different character hence Ghost. The only way Gaz could have survived that shot is if he is a damn Android lol. The time it would take to get him air lifted and medical treatment he would have bled to death. I know its a game but still I don't think its possible for him to survive.; 6 September 2009 08:20
Anonymous said...: Gaz cant be GHOST. Gaz is probably dead, however if he survived... he cant be a soldier/SAS anymore, his brain is totally woundet... totally fucked up, he is a mental retard. Get over it !; 7 September 2009 02:27
Anonymous said...: for the last time to the stupider anons. . .

MW2 =/= reality

therefore MW2 is not bound by reality

therefore Gaz COULD be alive and he COULD be ghost as evidence would suggest

i guess we wont know until the game comes out but i'm putting my money on Gaz being Ghost.; 7 September 2009 02:55

Look for the article on the MW2 comic and it says that Ghost's identity is Sgt. Riley.; 9 October 2009 14:04

1. Gaz*

2. If you look properly, gaz had his head turned on an angle, the bullet can go through the jaw, and destroy his jawline.

3. There is plently of related things, said earlier.

4. "Revenge is like a Ghost" - The name (Ghost may be because he survived the shot), and "Revenge" (Could be for MANY reasons, one of them being maybe Gaz wants his revenge, or vice versa.

5. I've shot a D'eagle irl, it didn't blow the hole target to peices, put a big hole in it, but not to peices. It's not like a 50. cal sniper rifle. - In that case, he'd be peices.; 21 October 2009 03:38

10/11/09 said...: My opinion about this "Who is Ghost" IF he would be from CoD4 is that:
1)Most possibly he is Sgt Jackson who got K.I.A'd in CoD4
2)Gaz (Remarkable fruit killing skills!)
3)Captain Price
4)Rodriguez (pure speculation)

watch this:

William said...: it is Gaz, if you play the first mission over listen to some of the conversations some of the rangers standing around the pit are having. one mentions a guy wearing a mask going through the pit with nothing but a pistol and creating the new "pit record" similar to Gaz's squad record in the tanker moch up in MW.

And yes Ghost and Roach both get merc'd in MW2 but in MW... that doesnt mean gone for good. After all Cpt. Price was "killed" in the first game and the medic gave up...maybe the new now terribly burned ghost will return again.

In response to the seniority question Gaz was not an officer he was a sergeant, whereas Price was Cpt and Soap was the LT. The other team members were enlisted not officers.

I look forward to seeing Soap Roach Price and Ghost in MW3.

Wolfy said...: It's true, the evidence points to Ghost being Gaz.

Several points of evidence to this being one of the convos in the beginning of MW2 among a random set of soldiers talking about a soldier with a "Freaky ski mask clearing the pit in 19 seconds". 19 seconds was Gaz's record in COD4.

Ghost somehow, though we've never heard of him, is in tight with Soap, knows who Price is on a personal level, and somehow is co-guy in charge throughout MW2.

Let me now debunk a lot of theories. It's NOT price play the game and it's obvious it's not. It's NOT ANYONE from the states. There's no reason for an american soldier to fake a british accent in a game this big and involved. That's just thinking too far.

Millions of records show, a point blank bullet does NOT always mean instant death, even if it is from a desert eagle. There's a lot of things that can go wrong from a point blank pistol shot.

The main factor here is the matching obstacle course record timing, and the fact that you really have to stick around to hear that conversation. It's an obvious teaser on his true identity and yet so damn close, it almost HAS to be Gaz.

The times match, the fact that he wears a skull mask, and that his codename is Ghost all point to Gaz. Also, concerning the comic book "revealed identity" the comic book says he's paying homage to a dead friend, RILEY. He never once said he was riley, but let's say he is. Still doesn't mean riley wasn't gaz, unless you seriously believe the names Soap and Roach were their real names and not codenames or nicknames, which isn't unheard of in the service.

Finally, as for Ghost dying in MW2... That's it. He's dead. He died before he was even burned. Roach was burned barely alive. There's no coming back from that for Ghost.; 12 November 2009 17:02

Anonymous said...: i believe its gaz, i saw a video in youtube that showed hes NOT SHOT IN THE TOP OF THE HEAD, they used cheat codes and it shows he is barely shot in the back of his head (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E18oZ7KgQq8).

and who knows, maybe he survived MW2. it would be really stupid, MGS-Like, and they would have to find a way to make him live, but if someone could survive getting shot in the head while being barely alive already...honestly id love to see him alive in MW3, saving Soap and saying "Don't you know you can't kill a dead man?"

actually if you look closely when he is killed by Shepherd in MW2, he is shot in the chest (the bullet might have missed his heart) and then when the soldier is pouring gas on them, he only pours it on Roach, not a bit of it is poured on Ghost, so HE'S NOT BURNED. maybe then hes rescued by Jack Bauer or something.

just speculating...but it is possible.in a retarded way, but still possible; 14 November 2009 14:07
Obal said...: PS:(im the guy who just posted the retarded way to save ghost)

if ghost is gaz, i missed that sense of humor i liked about gaz.maybe that near-death experience turned him into a serious guy; 14 November 2009 14:12
Anonymous said...: I really really REALLY wnat it to be Gaz but look at the odds. In cod4 gaz is shot clean in the head with a DESERT EAGLE. Even if he lived the russians that saved soap and price didn't bother to bring Gaz. If Gaz survived the deagle shot then his head would have bled out. Ghost is voiced by the same actor. SO WHAT?? people have similar voices. Guys check the odds. Gaz.Is.DEAD.; 14 November 2009 15:56

Michael Wolf said...: Quoting Blashemer:
"IW would do something like that though. They're a blockbuster (movie-like) game-making company, and blockbusters do that in sequels. They surprisingly bring back something you wouldn't expect. Gaz coming back after getting his face destroyed with a Desert Eagle would be epic to the story line, just like a movie experience.

I think he's Gaz, and I don't think he got shot in the head but more so in the mouth or somewhere around there"

I can most wholeheartedly agree with all of the above. Considering that IW has enough money to get a different actor to play Ghost, if Ghost were indeed a different person to Gaz, why wouldnt they? Because they are one and the same. And also, i agree, they brought back a character that no one expected to be back. Much like Gandalf the Gray/White in Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. HE WAS DEAD!....Or so we had expected.; 16 November 2009 14:44

leftnut said...: OK, beat the game on veteran and paid very close attention to GHOST. Ghost is confirmed to be Gaz in several ways. Dialogue is a key part, especially around the pit in S.S.S.D. or w/e that level is called. They act the same way, have similar background. Also when you rescue Cpt. Price, he calls Cpt. Mactavish "Soap" and Ghost replies in a very sarcastic tone "Who's Soap?!" indicating that he is close to both Soap and Price. When Sheppard shoots Roach and Ghost Price seems to be more upset with Ghost's "death" than Roachs. Why would he be that upset with someone he barely knew since he was locked up for 6 years. Also watch Ghost's face when they dump him into the pit. And finally beat the game and get EVERY achievement, play the museum mission and then watch the end credits. "Ghost" is definitely dead but Gaz is surely alive and breathing :); 17 November 2009 11:24
Anonymous said...: OK, just like Leftnut said about the talk at the pit, some solider is talking of the soldier with the skull mask and is really impressed with his speed in the pit! he did it in 25 seconds or what was it? anyway, we should all know that GAZ was the very best, and fastest at the training course am i right?

also about the mask, it would make sence to cover up a really damaged face wouldn't it? :); 18 November 2009 14:22

Its one of the randomly generated name people, but yeah I thought it was extremely odd price was calling Ghost's name so much and not even mentioning Roach.

Does this remind anyone of Alec Trevellian from Goldenenye?; 18 November 2009 17:18
Anonymous said...: Lol in MW2, if you see Ghost get shot, it looks like he is shoot in the head area however when his body is thrown to the ground, it looks as those he has been shot in the stomach.

Gaz never died. He didn't die in MW2 as well under his new codename Ghost. Horribly scarred and pissed off that he has been shot twice, he will return in MW3 as... Demon!

Or something relating to dead and fiery.; 19 November 2009 01:58
Anonymous said...: Gaz is Ghost,

Price and Soap will live on again, despite the knife attack at the end.

The actual bullet hit him in the shoulder in the above video. Check it out - the laser in the video is of the muzzle and the glow on the ground is larger due to the scatter effect on the surface. The glow looks like it hits him in the back of the head, but it does not. If you draw a line or have a straight edge from the barrel parallel to the centerline of the muzzle, it his Gaz in the back/neck area, probably the collar bone and surrounding shoulder tissue.

I think the campaign was pretty poor compared to COD4..... there should have been more missions to fight the Ultra-Nationalist Russians in Russia and surrounding areas instead of defending the homeland.

Sad to see Gaz/Ghost set on fire tho.... that really sucked. Shepard is a wanker.; 21 November 2009 02:56

Anonymous said...: K, so people should stop arguing about whether or not Ghost is Gaz..
I sincerely believe that IW didn't intend for anybody to hack the game and examine exactly how Gaz got shot. Just because he gets shot from a different angle than you think[which was only revealed through something IW didn't intend on anybody seeing]doesn't mean he lived. I bet they didn't think that they would have to make the gun actually look from all angles like it was going directly into his head to prevent a bunch of morons from all arguing over the internet about it. I kinda wish they had though 'cause I'm sick of hearing about it.

And besides, if you read anything online besides just pure rumor, you'd know that IW confirmed that Ghost IS NOT Gaz. They just used the same voice actor because he has an awesome voice. If anything, Ghost is just an ode to Gaz.

Say you don't believe a word I've said, it wouldnt matter because Ghost gets shot and set on fire. Doubt he'd live through that. Sorry guys.; 23 November 2009 13:19

but after all i still think ghost was gaz coz its typical from IW (how the hell did cpt price live and how the hell did he end up in a fuckin gulag, and HOW THE FUCK can he still fight)

also i think ghost survived MW2 (only chuck norris knows how) coz in the latest interviews they stated that as the most favorite characters was ghost, they are considering a spin-off or somethin (maybe DLC?)-in other words, theyre gonna milk that scarred son of a bitch until theres nothing left inside him but dust; 23 November 2009 16:42

Id kinda prefer it if Ghost wasnt gaz, would kinda ruin it for me :P; 1 December 2009 11:44
Ekcyboo said...: Here are some facts:

1. Everyone can see that Gaz isshot in the head. If you see it from the angle you are supposed to see it, of course.

2. The whole "Ghost wears a bulletproof vest"-argument is highly unlikely, because you can see blood and gore bursting out of his back.

3. The "Roach is the only one who's burned"-statement is wrong, because when Sheppie walks away, you see two "groups" of flames on the screen, one above Roach and one above Ghost.

4. Ever noticed that Gaz bleeds like his mother told him to, while Ssgt. Griggs never bleeds, while he is also shot in the head.

5. IW have said that "minor characters may show up again later", just like Nikolai. Perhaps Raptor from Exodus or Mac from F.N.G and Heat. Perhaps Archer survived the MW2 campaign, because he was also in direct contact with Soap and Price when Sheperd tried to kill them in Afghanistan? I mean, from the time Sheppie's ex-fil force arrived, it took Price and Soap roughly 50 secs to understand what happened and broadcast it. Sheperd's men couldn't have gotten to the sniper team by then.

Just a lot of thoughts...; 1 December 2009 16:06
Anonymous said...: Gaz isn't Ghost. In the comic, Ghost wears the bandana as a symbol of the "bad ass mother fuckers" that served in the SAS, which is in the first one. The only thing that compares them, is the voice actor.

Anonymous said...: I was watching the new updated video, it's true... and it makes sense as to why Ghost is the same voice. It should be Gaz. And for some reason, in this video, why does Cpt. Price throw a gun right after Griggs was pulling Soap.

If you go to the Museum level in mw2 after you beat the game and look closely into the eyes of Ghost, I swear it looks like the exact same as Gaz.

I was watching the original and the updated video that's posted here, how is it Nicolai? If Price was captured? I'm sure there's more stories about that.

I think the cheats tie and makes the story more believeable. That's why they made the cheats right? So you can see it clearly.; 10 December 2009 04:12

For whichever one who said that soap said "captain price" and Price said "soap" and ghost said "whos soap" Gaz got shot in the head so if he lived he might have gotten amnesia so he wouldnt remember and that so he might have gotta put on leave for a while which could be why soap passed his rank or gaz was not fit to lead as the rank he was before; 27 December 2009 11:41
Anonymous said...: if you look at how gaz was executed from a side angle, you can see that the bullet didn't hit his face. it hit the back of his head. it didn't even look like it even went through his skull. and ghost wasn't the person in "the gulag" level to say 'who's soap'. it was some guy named 'worm'.; 27 December 2009 21:33
Anonymous said...: In the SaS, when a operative changes his name to go into hiding, he uses the same first letter of his old name for his new name, since Gaz was SaS, it would be apprpriate for his new name to be Ghost.; 29 December 2009 14:22
Anonymous said...: @ "Ghost's eyes are blue. Gaz' eyes are brown."
He could have always iris surgery (since his face was severely damaged) or different color contacts to avoid suspicion. Gaz = Ghost.

At the end of the credits, there is a scene with a soldier, wearing gauss or clothing around his entire body with lots of kevlar armor on. He is tackling a guy to the ground. He is also a similar size as Ghost. Could it be him after the MW2 campaign. This is plausible because the body armor and clothing that modern soldiers wear is extremely fire-resistant.; 29 December 2009 21:17
Anonymous said...: I think Gaz is Ghost.
Ghost's name is Simon Riley,but still there is a chance that Ghost is Gaz.

IW most likely wanted us to figure this out as there are just way too many clues to be there "by accident".

And about the dead or not dead argument, think about it. Zakhaev took a .50 cal from a Barett and survived and Jackson survived a nuke (but died later because of his injuries).
And after al, it's a game, so anything is possible.
Gaz could have taken a douzen rounds while sitting on a detonating nuke and still be alive in modern warfare 2.

And about modern warfare 3?
Well, i think Gaz/Ghost is still alive.
Shepperd shot him in the chest, not in the head.
You can see the bullethole when the shadow soldiers poor gasoline over you.
Most likely he will be even more fucked up than he is in modern warfare 2.
Roach is definetly dead as his status is "KIA".
However Ghosts' status is not mentioned, so it remains a mystery.

About Price, Soap and Nikolai, I think they will be on the run in MW3 because you can't just get away with murdering a general, especialy not one of your own side.; 1 January 2010 19:45

Anonymous said...: Ok heres MY perspective, Gaz is shot in the ear/eye/nose and mouth area due to recoil from Zacheav's Deagle. He survives and chooses not to rejoin SAS due to his injuries. He ponders and changes his mind, seeking revenge on Zacheav. He wears a ghost mask, sunglasses, beanie, and earphones to hide the damage. Think about it. In CoD4 Gaz cant open the silo door for Soap. He cant open prison doors for Soap in MW2. Price keeps telling Gaz to "cut the chatter" and get back to work in CoD4 . Soap says this to Ghost multiple times in MW2. Gaz had the record in the cargo ship Op in CoD4. Ghost has the record in The Pit in MW2. Price is angry at Ghosts death. Im pretty sure Price says Gaz in a loading screen in MW2. In MW2 at the mission where Price goes into the sub, Ghost randomly says things like, "Old man never got things done on time", which means hes worked with him before, and when I was playing, when the missles actually launch, he said "ANOTHER missile launch!?" The launch in CoD4 and in MW2 makes 2 launchs.; 3 January 2010 01:11

All the gas got poured on Roach, so Toad and Archer could have pulled Ghost out of the fire. And, to explain the "tribute to some badass motherfucker", it could have been price or even the old gaz himself, if his face got messed up and everyone he used to know rejected him or shunned him because he scared them.

Anonymous said...: yeah Macmillan was a badass....and apparently IW has confirmed that Ghost and Gaz are seperate people, but i agree with you all, there are just too many match-ups, this is what i found on the cod wiki, can only assume its reliable...

In an Interview with IGN Robert Bowling was asked if there is a possibility that Ghost is still alive and he stated "Ghost... isn't exactly dead... but you'll see what I mean soon." This means that in the game for Ghost that it might take place after "Loose Ends" or explain what happened to him after the end of "Loose Ends". This could be true because if you watch when the man pours gasoline on them, it only goes on Roach and not Ghost. Or it could be figurative language as it might mean there will be a game with Ghost taking place before his death. Alternatively, maybe another SAS operator takes his name and visage in honor of him.; 6 February 2010 10:12
Anonymous said...: Ghost and Gaz have them same voice that's enough evidence for me; 6 February 2010 11:02
Anonymous said...: I think that Ghost is alive,because:
1.He was shot in the chest and might of had body armour.
2.Only Roach was burned.
3.Archer and Toad(The snipers,if you didn't know)could of rescued Ghost since they were still alive and could of waited for Shepard to leave.
4.It's a game,anything is a possibility.
Also look at the above comments for more proof.; 8 February 2010 04:18
Anonymous said...: My theory: At the end of loose ends, shepard couldve told a few of his men to finish the job with ghost and shepard left before they poured petrol over ghost. as he left and the shadow troops were just about to flame up ghost archer and toad could've merced the shadow troops who's job was to finish of Ghost, check the building for more tf141 which wudnt be stupid as there was so much fire powa in that room they cuda taken down shepard chopper then the shadows would wait for air support to pick em up. but they dont get to it as they have bullets in there heads before they get around to it. Toad and Archer save Ghost but leave roach as he is gone. and shit, maybe this bit i just wrote here could be the opening sequence to COD7 mod3. Any queries?; 10 February 2010 14:23

Odub90 said...: 2 myths
Got shot and lived so wears the mask to cover it up or got shot and died(I think he lost too much blood to survive); 14 February 2010 18:28
Anonymous said...: I think Ghost is Gaz.... any other way, Ghost gets Killed with Roach by Shepherd... Damn I liked Ghost.. He saved my butt soo many times; 18 February 2010 10:17
Anonymous said...: but hey, either any art of the head if you got shot, youre probably dead, even in the mouth, so im not into thinking that gaz is ghost, but still you believe what you think is right.; 19 February 2010 05:50

Anonymous said...: hey, as i was just observing the video, i kind of bumped up on these questions...
1.i just realised why on earth did griggs pull soap in an open area, and then leave him?

When Gaz was shot, i was kind of convinced on what i saw, he was slightly shot at the back of the head. But,

2. why is it that there were so much blood spilled out of GAz head?
3. why was griggs deadspot didnt have any blood spilled at all?
kinda weird but, just my observation, no biggie.; 19 February 2010 06:11
Anonymous said...: it is a possibility, even though IW made comics about ghost where his real name is SGT Simon Riley, but since ghost has a "nickname" whos to say "Gaz" isnt a nickname, and again Gaz got shot in the arm, thats why when he is kinda sitting up he suddenly falls, and I could have sworn I heard his voice in the Epilogue of CoD4. And IW is never really "realistic" whith there characters, doesn't Price die in the first CoD. Any ways I am not saying that Gaz is absolutly positively no doubt in my mind for sure Ghost but there is alot of evidence pointing to were he is Ghost.; 19 February 2010 17:57

leighton117 said...: ok ive found somthing interesting if you wait a bit you get a introduction movie were zakhaev is shooting gaz in the background makarov is saying revenge is like a ghost just as zakhaev shoots gaz further on through the clip it shows you the level were you shoot the black guy in the leg and soap and ghost have a word with him if you know wat i mean but on the game it shows ghost with soap and you go of with 2 dudes 1 called meat i dont know the other but on the introduction movie it shows someone completly different hes got shades like ghost but no mask i wonder if its gaz without his hat on because you dont know what his hairstyle is like so it might be but it doesnt look like gaz or built like him he might have had facial reconstruction and ate more you never know whatch it yourself have a look wait a bit on the menu first have a look at him then play the level; 22 February 2010 15:46
Anonymous said...: Think about it, iw didnt expect anyone to see the shooting from that angle so didnt bother lining it up properly, zakeav wouldnt have skimmed the back of his head. Its like in halo 1 where the chief takes his helmet off and u cant see it. when people did the same thing to see what he looked like it was just another helmet underneath. game developers dont bother with unessential sh*t like that as its a waste of time. i am CERTAIN ghost=gaz and am pretty certain ghost still lives after his little fiery encounter.-Dunlop; 24 February 2010 11:32
Anonymous said...: thats why ghost wears a mask cos half his head blew off; 26 February 2010 16:30
Anonymous said...: Of course Gaz isn't Ghost!!!

It would be just to unrealiStic (as far as i know, not many people survive from a close range hit in the face with a desert eagle.) although i wouldnt put it past infinity ward- online it usually takes 2 body hits with a Barret .50cal to kill ... should be one arm hit, arm comes off- thats one of the things that treyarch/activision did well with World at War; 27 February 2010 07:55
Anonymous said...: I think it's gaz, it would be strange to have one of the random TF 141 guys to be in the storyline and in the in between mission speaking and such especially with all the similarities he has with gaz.; 27 February 2010 09:35
Anonymous said...: To be finished ''Ghost'' is Captain Price.U see he was the only one who survivedfrom Zakaev aand his men.Zakaev cant be the ''Ghost'' because if u soot him at the stomach he will go a ride at hell.
But if Gaz was the ''Ghost''...(I dont think so).Gaz had his head bonned from an Deagle.In the trailer.. after many searches I discovvered that the graphics are for the ass,so Gaz had his head bonned.It 1 more result for the ''Ghost''...He can be from the marines recon Sgt. Paul Jackson.He didnt died after the aftermath, he felt down and he slept after that he was fine.Such a mystery around the ''Ghost''.I will ask a friend of mine who knows all about INFINITY WARD.I will post a comment when i have the answer.; 27 February 2010 14:42
Anonymous said...: i have the craziest idea ever...gaz is ghost and when he got burned one of shepherds men realized ghost was hardly burnin,he poured some more gas on him, toad and archer see him and off him,go and rescue ghost,but roach is dead, they escape and ghost goes missing. in the end of mw 3 or 4 it all comes down to shepherd (didn't look like the knife went that deep), makarov , price,soap,and all the other heroes, shepherd doesn't come in till the last second, everyone is out of ammo, and sheperd comes in with a revolver,aims at soap,then a bullet whizzes by shepherd who aims his gun in a random direction and fires, then his face gets raped by multiple bullets,then a badly scarred,burned, man with part of a skull balaclava and everyone has WTF!? moment. Then they all notice the g36c smoking, soap looks like he saw an alien and whispers,"gaz"? ghost looks over and goes "you look like you've seen a ghost" then it cuts to credits. just a vision; 27 February 2010 21:08
Anonymous said...: OK i asked my friend and he had an idea to search.Then we recorded ''Ghost'' voice and we found that he is Craig Fairbass who voicing ''Ghost''.Then we tried to compare them with Captain Price voice. We found that they are perfectlly match with each other. But i was surprised when i saw tha the ""Ghost"" voice match at 59% with the voice of an sas member who speak sometimes. All we know right now is that ""Ghost"" was an SAS member. Who i dont know right now i will try to search more; 27 February 2010 23:31
Anonymous said...: i compared Gaz this time it perfectilly matc too.I reject Captain Price because i saw a vid on youtube and this vid saw Price fighting with Sheperd.Now i am Gaz and the other SAS member.Who could it be???????; 28 February 2010 09:48
oualid said...: Yes Ghost is realy Gaz because :
same insults same protector behavior towards the player and above all I know he is not dead as Russian soldiers have not lived up about him and the bullet didn't hit his head but just his back or shoulder; 3 March 2010 03:05
