Call of Duty’s latest nerf bites Ghost in the butt

by

As a dedicated Call of Duty fan, I can’t help but feel a mix of amusement and disappointment regarding the recent controversy surrounding Ghost’s new jeans skin. It’s no secret that Ghost is one of the most beloved characters in the Call of Duty universe, and his casual look in jeans has always been a fan favorite. So, when Infinity Ward announced that Jeans Ghost would be making a return in Modern Warfare 3, I was thrilled!

It’s common for us to think of Task Force 141 members, including Price and Ghost, solely in their combat roles, given how frequently they spring into action to save the world. However, let’s not forget that behind their uniforms, they have personal lives and preferences. For instance, Ghost favors Levi’s jeans when relaxing (though other brands are an option as well).

Despite being previously announced, Jeans Ghost makes his return to Call of Duty with Modern Warfare 3. Originally debuting in Modern Warfare 2, this simplified rendition of the beloved character left an indelible mark on fans. We’re thrilled about his comeback, but based on the latest reveal, it seems Ghost has endured a significant injury to his posterior area.

Critics are voicing similar concerns over the appearance of Jeans Ghost from The Boys collaboration, with some comparing it to the controversy surrounding the Firecracker skin’s allegedly reduced backside. While fans have suggested adding variants of characters like John “Soap” MacTavish and Phillip Graves in denim outfits, let’s examine Jeans Ghost’s backside more closely for now.

One critic expressed disappointment by asking, “Where did his behind go? :(” Another made a light-hearted comment, “They can’t keep escaping that easily, can they?” A third raised a question based on fairness, “If they did it to Firecracker, then perhaps they did it to everyone.” Lastly, a fourth exclaimed in surprise, “Why does he seem so skinny now? Where are his thighs? 😭😭😭 crying emojis”

It seems quite apparent that Ghost has shed some pounds recently, with those pounds apparently disappearing from a specific region. But is this the reality of the situation? With figures like Stellar Blade under fire for leering at Eve and sexualizing her, is it any less problematic when demanding that Ghost have a larger derriere?

In the Obisidian Steed package, Jeans Ghost is included as an extra feature. This bundle also contains the Obsidian Steed assault rifle, a decal, emblem, and loading screen. However, at 1600 COD Points, it’s quite pricey for just a new skin. Keep in mind that skins from Modern Warfare 3 do not carry over, so this may be a temporary purchase if you only play Warzone.

Some people are wondering which individuals are actually shelling out money for Ghost, a supposed additional operator in Call of Duty, who only gets dressed in denim. It appears that CoD is facing criticism no matter what, as some find the collaborations with entities like WWE excessive, while others refuse to spend on this jeans-wearing character for Ghost.
