Can’t forget Samuel Roukin, Ghosts actor, he’s the one doing all the little eye movements during mocap, video games are basically live action movies, that are animated after the fact, all those tiny details that make ghost ghost, are because of him. Not taking away from the animation and mocap team, just adding on to the list of amazing talent that made this campaign one of the best imo
Not to come off as a know-it-all, but you may be surprised at how much of acting is solely done with the eyes. I know that any stage actor worth their salt can sell any scene almost without much more expression than eye gestures, be they subtle, or otherwise. It is certainly something that used to be taught with much more focus, not quite as much these days, but clearly Samuel Roukin caught on and has the talent to employ it.
I mean a character like master chief or doom 2016 doomslayer emote without you ever seeing their face or them talking. Body language itself can tell you what a character is thinking or feeling its crazy.
5:12 “you wanna be better than me Johnny ..” hearing someone above/better than you in any situation tell you that you should want to surpass them instead of punching down and telling you otherwise is so humbling and heart warming, like imagine your boss telling you that instead of being scared of his job getting taken? A gym coach saying you should want to lift/run more than them? It’s so motivating to hear stuff like that
Also motivating, too. Because that can be taken as a compliment - your major sees so much potential in you he tells you outright that you'll reach amazing places.
Look I know y’all not get me a little about call of duty because of ghost and soap, because I know there soldiers who are on missions and special forces but… I wanna know the story because I get confused because don’t really what the story is about. If anyone see this pls explain it to me 🙏🏻
“Ghost” “Soap” “Found a tripwire rigged to a shotgun. Disarmed it. Took the gun.😀” “Open hearts and minds with it Johnny” Freaking love this duo already
11:12 "Shut up Soap, fucking hell..." I swear to God the writing in this MW2 is better than the original. In the 2009 they were all very serious and minor jokes. In here Soap and Ghost are roasting each other and making jokes all day long lol. I absolutely love it.
@@ashhabimran239 Because the characters in the reboot are a lot better than the original, they're more fleshed out and had a lot of personality. For example, i really love how they made Soap a little bit reckless and childish in here rather than being an overly serious and having generic "main character" personality
Bruh go watch some memes instead if you want to laugh. The OG story is unbeatable. And idk how Ghost came to be loved so much, ofcourse by the kids because he looks cool and has a mask. But soap is the one who saved roach from falling of the cliff in cliffhanger, soap is the one who always looked like a hero to the player and soap is the one who killed zakhaev and shepherd.
@@youcantakemygoogleaccount2359 They were too damn serious in the original MW2, but I still love the OG more than this one trust me. They gave characters more deep connection with each other and their enviorment more than the OG story which im down. The OG story tho was more massive and I loved it more.
@@royliber3824 I agree with you on the story the story in the OG is much better As much as I like the OG MW2 I don't like the character development Here they interact with each other And these interactions are golden
12:27 I like how you can see Soap's little blurry smirk after the camera passes Ghosts head. As if he's acknowledging Ghost's response of, "quite the opposite" back when Soap asked him if he was ugly. Indicating that Ghost is actually a very good looking guy
I sort of like Ghost's development. Initially he's all lone wolf like, and towards the end he bonds with Alejandro and Soap a lot. It's like we as the players are peeling the layers and properly becoming friends with Ghost.
IW said they would love to make a game about Ghost’s origins, and I could easily see where he was part of a squad and they were all killed and he was the last man standing and had to survive the same way Soap did in the Alone mission. It would make sense since he initially was only looking out for his own survival, but ended up helping Soap because he’d been through that situation before.
@@CheddarProtector I heard about that myself that be great they should do that. Ghost is such a great character they really added more to him for the reboot series. I also like them to make a game for my favorite character Soap as well.
In a tight situation like that it's good to lighten up the mood a bit to stay calm. Props for Ghost for playing along, even though he's always so serious
@@Deathmare235that was the original ghost, we don't know if reboot ghost has the same backstory. and since reboot ghost is so likeable, i hope he didnt have to see the corpses of all his family, or be tortured by some lardass cartel leader for months on end lol
Really love Ghost in this rebooted series. It's nice he's not 24/7 a hardass and will actually banter with Soap every now and then. Can't wait to see more of him in the 3rd game.
I love how when he meets Soap, you can tell he has an "I'm getting too old for this shit" moment but then when Shepherd calls him he quickly snaps out of it.
I am LOVING this dynamic between Soap and Ghost. Yeah, Soap is a bit more green and chatty here, but I enjoy their bantering and how their dynamic parallels Gaz and Price’s. Also with the reboot series in general, it’s actually really nice that the major characters don’t drop like flies. Gets you to care for the 141 members more, and if any of them DOES die in the sequel, it’ll hurt even more. Edit: 😨
Graves: *Denies 141 and Special Forces into MSF own base* Ghost: *Schleep* Graves: Relieves 141/MSF from current duties and accuses Alejandro of his affiliation. Ghost: *Still Schleep* Graves: Nobody has to get hurt here. Ghost: Strange way to commit suicide pal.
I love this version of Ghost a lot more. The old one was "generic cool guy with a skull mask". He had no character. This version has a lot of things behind that mask. He says a lot with few words. His body language, the way he talks, and his eyes are all done very well.
Little slow starting and the ending is slightly anticlimactic (minus the final 2 cutscenes setting up MW3) but once it picks up I can honestly say its the most fun I've had with COD in a very long time campaign wise.
The campaign is actually making be debate picking the game up and it will be my first cod since BO3 (it's when I stopped because I didn't like the movement meta which started to come in and well siege became a thing, but if it was between mw3 and rainbow six patriots (it was the r6 project in development before siege, siege is actually built on top of the remains of patriots) I would choose patriots, I just want that Counter Terror reactive and premintive side of things and it was gonna be dark, considering the promo gameplay for it showed your character throwing a guy off of a bridge who was strapped with a bomb vest (this was like 2013 I think so years before mw1 did it) it was generally shocking because the promo footage makes you care about that person as it start off with him and his family, they it goes into the hostage taking, then the counter terror
Never thought I’d see cod develop character relationships again on par or even better than soap and price, absolutely loved soap and ghosts banter, and how he comes around to soap
@@Deathmare235 Not really fair when we've only seen soap and ghost in this game. Even then, there's already way more development here than soap and price's relationship in cod4
Ghost's voice has an interesting dichotomy to it. Hearing him can scare the bejeezus out of you (even if you're a teammate) but hearing him can also be reassuring (when he finally responded to Soap). His eyes convey so much. That visual exchange between Ghost and Soap after learning Graves had betrayed them spoke volumes. Each knew shit was about to go down. I love Ghost's elbow to the guy's face. Fantastic edit btw!
I was never a fan of the modern warfare series. It's just not my cup of tea. But I absolutely love the art department behind Ghost. He looks out of place. And it's not just his mask. His eyes are almost always bloodshot. And the voice actor. He sounds tired. Not exhausted. But somewhere between bored and... just another Tuesday. Genius how they wrote him.
The best parts about this game is the banter between the characters, Alejandro, Rudy, Ghost and Soap, just wish we got to see them add Roach and bring back Alex
Feels like Alone is where Soap and Ghost really get to warming up to one another. Nothing makes better friends than being one another's only lifeline surrounded by death.
@@jater10 I really hope Soap doesn't die in MW3. Because it was upsetting when they killed off my favorite character. So I hope they don't do it again.
@@knightofrose115 my point exactly, it kinda random for the rolls to be sorta reversed for those two, but based on trailers I did expect a duo between them and based on how ghost was portrayed in mw2019 I felt he was gonna be a mentor.
Ghost is the Step Dad who married a mom not knowing she's a mom and wants to make the marriage work and Soap is the Step son who is a smart ass but is willing to get along with his new Step Dad for his mom's sake and they end up getting along
Idk man that dialog between Ghost and Soap where soap says " I wanna be just like you when I grow up" and ghost says " you wanna be better than me Johnny" struck a nerve or something teared up a bit at that
I love how they made characters we loved from the old games like Ghost and Soap into real people and entertaining characters. The people who wrote and voiced them did a nice job.
During the betrayal, you can observe the subtle use of the vehicle's red light reflecting on Soap and Ghost while looking at Graves' direction. His name in the subtitles turned red as well; it also reflects their hostile demeanor towards Graves. While Graves has a cool color tone contrasting my previous take, it implies the unsympathetic, two-faced character that he is.
@@mikehawk8669 nah, he’s on point with this. Cinematography is a very under appreciated part of this campaign with the high budget cutscenes and the setting of these missions. Good stories can convey a characters emotions and/or thoughts without being explicit; the environment around them can help convey that, especially since Ghost is masked 24/7.
@@Deathmare235 tbf Graves tried to de-escalate the situation. His hand was forced when Alejandro retalitates because he took over his base and imprisoned the MSF.
I like the chatting with Ghost. The lines are funny and make the characters feel more lively. Also, the subtitles changing colour when an ally betrays is really cool
I think Ghost and Soaps relationship is so interesting, and the way they care for each-other, whether seen as friends or boyfriends, is something to admire.
I love this duo and it makes sense too since in the original soap and price got close cause of gazs death. But since he's not dead in this gaz and price are still rocking together, so putting soap and ghost as a duo was perfect absolutely loved it. Oh n finally we got some sweet sweet vengeance for task force 141 that felt amazing, was thinking one of them was gonna die in this glad they didn't. Wish Graves didn't betray them tho but I saw it coming cause of shadow company and all. But Graves was an amazing character I actually loved him even tho he stabbed us in the back he was still dope asl.
Soap was still close with him regardless of Gaz also Gaz is dead Kyle is meant to be his successor and Price already served with Soap and even Gaz before Kyle
@@Erkaryos Yes, even though technically Enlisted Sergeants might have more experience on the field than Lieutenants, an Officer in the military out ranks any Enlisted soldier. Enlisted soldiers have their own ranking system and Officers have their own as well making it a bit confusing for some people who don’t understand the system. So even if it’s some newbie second Lieutenant, they still outrank all the enlisted soldiers hence why low ranking Officers get a lot of grief from soldiers who have much more experience.
@@__vx3 I’m in a different branch but it’s important to mention that those junior officers typically gain their respect by being open minded and learning from those senior enlisted rather than throwing their weight around and acting like they’re king shit. Yes, enlisted render obedience to orders given by officers but there’s a gray area. Most people who haven’t served wouldn’t know that.
My guess is as the story continues Soap eventually becomes a leader. Because Ghost works alone, Soap will eventually be in a higher rank than Ghost. At the end scene where Ghost says “You called it” Showing Soap taking charge even though he is a Sergeant.
You get the impression that Ghost doesn't care much for Soap in the first mission and the way he always calls him Johnny but after "Alone" you can see he really cares about him
"Open hearts and minds with it" Gosh Ghost has a great sense of humour in that level 😂 Between that and the stealth, Alone has to be my favourite level
I love the dynamic of Ghost, Soap, Alejandro and Rodolfo. Like the build up of their relationship and trust really is what made this game the best for me. Captain Price and Gaz is definitely honorable mention it’s a father and son bond lol
Graves really is the typical American: is all tough until he opens his mouth 😂😂 Ghost was so fucking badass in the game. Love the dynamic with him and Soap
Being able to see ghost's eyes does a lot for reading his expressions. Like you can see the panic and urgency when he says "Go Johnny, get out of there!"
Just even by the first interaction with Soap, I already knew I was gonna love Ghost a lot more. Yea he was cool in the original mw2 but it’s always nice to actually flesh out a character and have them interact normally with other characters. And obviously he was hella cool in mw2019 but damn, this game officially made him my fav character in this game (Farrah was my fav in 2019) as well all time fav in Cod.
I have a bad feeling about this duo. I think the whole reason they made Soap greener and are trying to build a bond between them is for Ghost to die in the next MW and Soap to slowly evolve into the character he was in the original MW series. At least they should give Ghost a proper send off if i’m right
Last night when it was midnight the part when Simon had taken of his mask I was like wait no way this is actually happening until we couldn't see his face i was like. You bamboozle me. You catfish me. Why why do this to me.
I love the Subtle change with Graves (and Shepherd’s) dialogue subtitles. Once it’s evident they’re against 141, their names in the subtitles go from blue(/yellow for Shepherd) to red in the cutscene
![(PS5) HITMAN 3 - New York, Bank Heist - Cinematic Run [4K 60FPS]](/img/n.gif)
Ghost calling him “Johnny” and not John or soap is a nice touch. They’re a lot closer than they were in the original game.
Would’ve been cool if he called him John but I guess only Price can call him that

@@knightofrose115 my point exactly, it kinda random for the rolls to be sorta reversed for those two, but based on trailers I did expect a duo between them and based on how ghost was portrayed in mw2019 I felt he was gonna be a mentor.
@@Star_VA ah I see what your saying. Yeah I guess it’s because they want you to play as soap, and I kinda liked the new duo
@@Star_VA ghost was a Lt. in the og mw
I love the dialogue choices they added to this game. Takes the mid mission banter to the next level 😂
Ghost is the Step Dad who married a mom not knowing she's a mom and wants to make the marriage work and Soap is the Step son who is a smart ass but is willing to get along with his new Step Dad for his mom's sake and they end up getting along
This is Gold
@@Carrity thanks
Very specific....
@@REDtheblazian but soap is senior to ghost
@@bhabhutiji1169 original trilogy yes, reboot no.
Idk man that dialog between Ghost and Soap where soap says " I wanna be just like you when I grow up" and ghost says " you wanna be better than me Johnny" struck a nerve or something teared up a bit at that
2:35 will forever be my favorite line from Soap
The passion in it, just
“GRAVES WTF-“
Ghost: Johnny?...
Soap: Yes, papa?
Ghost: What?
Soap: What?
Jesus is coming
Eating powdered soap?
No papa

XDDDDDD open your hearts and mind ya~
Ghost is so cold in the campaign, great campaign aswell
" People you know can hurt you the most " That was a deep one
I love how they made characters we loved from the old games like Ghost and Soap into real people and entertaining characters. The people who wrote and voiced them did a nice job.
“I wanna be like you when I grow up” hits hard after MW3s events
During the betrayal, you can observe the subtle use of the vehicle's red light reflecting on Soap and Ghost while looking at Graves' direction. His name in the subtitles turned red as well; it also reflects their hostile demeanor towards Graves. While Graves has a cool color tone contrasting my previous take, it implies the unsympathetic, two-faced character that he is.
He didn’t want to betray them hell he might even join them to take revenge in shepherd
bruh you're in too deep they're just lights
@@mikehawk8669 nah, he’s on point with this. Cinematography is a very under appreciated part of this campaign with the high budget cutscenes and the setting of these missions. Good stories can convey a characters emotions and/or thoughts without being explicit; the environment around them can help convey that, especially since Ghost is masked 24/7.
@@Deathmare235 why would he do that
He's a Mercenary he works for Shepherd
@@Deathmare235 tbf Graves tried to de-escalate the situation. His hand was forced when Alejandro retalitates because he took over his base and imprisoned the MSF.
I like the chatting with Ghost. The lines are funny and make the characters feel more lively. Also, the subtitles changing colour when an ally betrays is really cool
I love the big brother/little brother dynamic these two have
Love how you can still see Soap's cheeky little smile when Ghost takes his mask off even though Soap's face is blurred by the camera focus.
I think Ghost and Soaps relationship is so interesting, and the way they care for each-other, whether seen as friends or boyfriends, is something to admire.
These guys are basically brothers, it's great and I never knew I needed this.
I love this duo and it makes sense too since in the original soap and price got close cause of gazs death. But since he's not dead in this gaz and price are still rocking together, so putting soap and ghost as a duo was perfect absolutely loved it. Oh n finally we got some sweet sweet vengeance for task force 141 that felt amazing, was thinking one of them was gonna die in this glad they didn't. Wish Graves didn't betray them tho but I saw it coming cause of shadow company and all. But Graves was an amazing character I actually loved him even tho he stabbed us in the back he was still dope asl.
Soap was still close with him regardless of Gaz also Gaz is dead Kyle is meant to be his successor and Price already served with Soap and even Gaz before Kyle
@@Deathmare235 i quite dont get what you are saying i mean kyle and gaz are the same person..?
@@crownyrowny no Gaz is different from Kyle but Kyle becomes his successor
@@Deathmare235 Lol not at all. There's no other "Gaz" in this rebooted universe. Garrick is the only Gaz in MW2019 and MW2(2022), not a successor.
@@Deathmare235 you’re completely wrong this Kyle is the Gaz of this universe
soap : do you have a heart
ghost : a cold one
ghost is a true chad🥶
Ghost and Soap were in the same unit, he shocked because Soap is now a Sergeant while Ghost is still a lieutenant
how do ranks work? Ghost is still ranks high right?
@@Erkaryos yes
@@Erkaryos Yes, even though technically Enlisted Sergeants might have more experience on the field than Lieutenants, an Officer in the military out ranks any Enlisted soldier. Enlisted soldiers have their own ranking system and Officers have their own as well making it a bit confusing for some people who don’t understand the system. So even if it’s some newbie second Lieutenant, they still outrank all the enlisted soldiers hence why low ranking Officers get a lot of grief from soldiers who have much more experience.
@@memesouls8653 It's a running gag in the air force that Master Sergeants are the (un)official babysitters of new Second Lieutenants lol
@@__vx3 I’m in a different branch but it’s important to mention that those junior officers typically gain their respect by being open minded and learning from those senior enlisted rather than throwing their weight around and acting like they’re king shit. Yes, enlisted render obedience to orders given by officers but there’s a gray area. Most people who haven’t served wouldn’t know that.
My guess is as the story continues Soap eventually becomes a leader. Because Ghost works alone, Soap will eventually be in a higher rank than Ghost. At the end scene where Ghost says “You called it” Showing Soap taking charge even though he is a Sergeant.
By mw3 Soap will be captain and maybe even Gaz can be an lt like his predecessor
@@Deathmare235 there wont be a mw3 acc. to dev tho
Man the alone mission had so many good moments in it between ghost and soap
You get the impression that Ghost doesn't care much for Soap in the first mission and the way he always calls him Johnny but after "Alone" you can see he really cares about him
Ghost and Soap’s dynamic in this game really reminded me Simon was an actual human being and not a fully stone cold soldier with minimal emotions
"Open hearts and minds with it"
Gosh Ghost has a great sense of humour in that level 😂 Between that and the stealth, Alone has to be my favourite level
I love the dynamic of Ghost, Soap, Alejandro and Rodolfo. Like the build up of their relationship and trust really is what made this game the best for me. Captain Price and Gaz is definitely honorable mention it’s a father and son bond lol
I love how they come across as brothers at times
Graves really is the typical American: is all tough until he opens his mouth 😂😂
Ghost was so fucking badass in the game. Love the dynamic with him and Soap
Like that one African warlord
Graves could walk the walk though wish he stayed an ally
@@zeothesnowwolf2937 he was a coward though
Being able to see ghost's eyes does a lot for reading his expressions. Like you can see the panic and urgency when he says "Go Johnny, get out of there!"
This makes me excited for MW3. Ghost, Soap, and Alejandro were the best parts about the campaign. I loved the chemistry and dynamic between them
The actual best part is their introduction to Alejandro.
Soap: "Actually, I think he prefers-"
Ghost, visibly triggered: "THAT'LL DO."
“Got company in the church and they’re not here for forgiveness” - Ghost ,💀😭😂
I like the part of this game that Soap's personality is more matched with his OG Journal (MW3).
Basically cod 4 but they kept mw2 Ghost
"Be careful who you trust Sergeant, people you know can hurt you the most." strong as hell line
2:42 - that's why Ghost is the ultimate soldier
Yeah my boi didn’t even use a gun badass!!!
"Johnny, got company in the church and they're not here for forgiveness"
lmao i love this ghost!
That mission "Alone" is fucking treasure. The fact you get to play as Soap again, and get Simon fucking Riley to guide you justs hits different.
"Good to see you again Simon"
Fucking goosebumps man
“You think I’ll live that long” “Probably not”
R.I.P. Soap
Just even by the first interaction with Soap, I already knew I was gonna love Ghost a lot more. Yea he was cool in the original mw2 but it’s always nice to actually flesh out a character and have them interact normally with other characters. And obviously he was hella cool in mw2019 but damn, this game officially made him my fav character in this game (Farrah was my fav in 2019) as well all time fav in Cod.
Throughout this campaign Ghost and Soap felt like brothers for some reason! Especially during the betrayal scene and the “Alone” mission
We we're always alone yeno
ghost and soap are like the big brother kid brother duo.
The older one showing the little one the ropes on how to operate without a handler.
This hits different after soaps death 😔
"Think I'll live that long? Probably not." Hits different now
"You have a heart?" is the best response for that prompt
5:06 The foreshadowing 😭😭😭
1:00 cool detail:when they ask soap his current state, he only responds when he gets up from the water.
Gaz does this in the amsterdam mission too
Love how Ghost call's Soup Johnny every now and then in the game just hope they stay alive in the new franchise series of MW now.
I love the chemistry between soap & ghost
They made this ghost a 6’5 250lb Linebacker!
Ghost didn’t even pull out his gun he used a knife. My hero 💀💀💀💀💀
Ghost : *johnny, got company in the church and they're not here for forgiveness*
It’s interesting seeing the duo of ghost and soap instead of seeing price and soap.
I find soap and ghost as besties 😅
They did have a little bonding during the Alone mission. I really enjoyed the dynamic they had throughout their missions.
In terms of favorite characters from the campaign it goes
Ghost
Soap
Alejandro
Rodolfo
Good acting from all of the voice actors on this one🔥🤘
Rodolfo should’ve died
@@Deathmare235 why?
What about price?
I have a bad feeling about this duo. I think the whole reason they made Soap greener and are trying to build a bond between them is for Ghost to die in the next MW and Soap to slowly evolve into the character he was in the original MW series. At least they should give Ghost a proper send off if i’m right
“What has two legs and bleeds?…. Half a dog” -Ghost
Last night when it was midnight the part when Simon had taken of his mask I was like wait no way this is actually happening until we couldn't see his face i was like.
You bamboozle me.
You catfish me.
Why why do this to me.
And then the have the audacity to not give him the glasses with the original mask
Search for his actor, then you'll know his face haha. His actor has a goofy long face.

The mission "Alone" really has the most amount of moments between Soap and Ghost even if they're just talking to each other in the comms.
Only Soap can make sliding backwards down a muddy hill look that cool and badass.
I love the Subtle change with Graves (and Shepherd’s) dialogue subtitles. Once it’s evident they’re against 141, their names in the subtitles go from blue(/yellow for Shepherd) to red in the cutscene
Atleast we have this game. Can’t believe they did him dirty. These moments were so fun.
These new iterations are a lot more likeable than the og's
No especially Soap he’s so annoying in this version
@@Deathmare235 No he is not. But I respect your opinion. I prefer this new one 10 times more than the OG game.
Ghost: Johnny,Johnny...
Soap: Yeah?
Ghost: eating sugar?
Soap: What the fu-
12:12 wonderful metallica reference
