Modern Warfare 2 Campaign : Does Ghost finally reveal his face?

Early access to the campaign in Modern Warfare 2 was a highly awaited event among fans of the series. Players who pre-ordered the game's digital copy on any platform have been given early access to the campaign since October 20.

In the second last mission of the campaign titled 'Ghost Team,' the fan-favorite character Simon 'Ghost' Riley finally reveals his face in front of Task Force 141 and Los Vaqueros. However, the camera viewpoint is from behind his back, and players cannot see his face, much to their utter disappointment.

After a very stunned silence from the team, Captain Price turns his face towards his old friend and says, "Good to see you again, Simon," referring to the fact that the Ghost moniker is only reserved when the operator puts on his iconic mask.

However, by the time the viewpoint again pans to his face, Ghost has already put on his Ghost Team balaclava. This is the only instance in the game other than the scenes from the Ghost Team mission, where the legendary operator can be seen without his iconic skull mask.

Despite not seeing the face, the cinematic sequence does show that Ghost is a Caucasian with short brown hair. It also shows that Ghost sports a pair of brown eyes, but the rest of his appearance remains unknown to fans and still remains one of the most enticing secrets of the Modern Warfare series.
