How Is Ghost Alive in Modern Warfare 2? Explained

Ghost can definitely count himself among the fan-favorite characters in the entire Call of Duty franchise; it certainly helps that he has one of the coolest designs in the game. When he reappeared in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, players welcomed him back with open arms. For those who kept up with Call of Duty’s campaigns have some questions, however, the biggest being: how is Ghost alive in Modern Warfare 2?

How Ghost Survives in Modern Warfare 2

Ghost still being alive in Modern Warfare 2 has a simple explanation: Modern Warfare 2 is a continuation of a reboot, a sequel to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019). If you’ve played through the original Modern Warfare 2 or its remastered version, and witnessed Ghost’s death, that no longer applies and isn’t canon anymore.

While the most recent Modern Warfare entries are reboots, they still share several similarities. Ghost being alive at the end of Modern Warfare (2019) and Modern Warfare (2009) is an example of that.

This is an opportunity for Infinity Ward to further expand Ghost’s story and maybe even do a face reveal. All that’s known is his hair color, skin color, and eye color—everything else is a mystery.

That is everything you need to know about how Ghost is alive in Modern Warfare 2. Unless Infinity Ward decides to have him kick the bucket in a later entry, he’s a welcomed addition to Task Force 141. For more guides on Modern Warfare 2, every player should know how to check the game’s server status.
