Thank you for my life, I hope youāre sitting down for this.
This is the only tierlist I feel I've ANY authority to make (if youāve been following me long you could probably guess what's on it), but I'm not gonna be a hater bc I have mutuals who play this game whom I must not offend - so instead of doing S~F I'll just do a top 5 with 10~20 honorable mentions:
This is the perfect outfit fullstop (I know I went off on Jeans Ghost last night but that's just bc I like jeans) Jawbone is The look, the right amount of dramatic yet casual af ā this murder uncle, out here hunting on a weekend, rolling up those sleeves to get to bloody work. We first MEET him in this fit, and we are in love IMMEDIATELY because who shows up to a function like this demanding OTHERS for some answers?? What a legend
The fuckin khaki top with the split canvas hood/cape, the red pop of the gas can... This mask is also his best, itās honest, with the jawbone meticulously painted on: alluding to the time he dug himself out of a grave with one - poetic, macabre, ARMS, ARMS, TATS TATS TATS
I have probably drawn him in this the most, and if I havenāt Iām a fraud - too bad we'll never know for sure
Itās compact, lightweight, battle-ready - itās the iconic 22 Ghost look and he is at his comfiest and nimblest in it, he can jump over a 10 ft fence in it. He killed shadows in it, fell in love in it, itās clearly HIS favorite, well-used ā and itās madness that it's only getting added to Warzone NOW, if I played that game Iād be demanding compensation.
I think it's just like a windbreaker or something which is nuts, because he's the size of a mountain in this fit (kill me about it) and the JEANS... sun-bleached, a little stretched but never tattered... it's workmanlike, Ghost's just a laborer. Then ofc there's the hot, useless harness around his thighs, and for what (we know for what)
I also love the version of this with the Ghost Team mask:
This would've been number 2 if Jeans Ghost didn't hold all that sentimental value. Thisā¦ phantom of the opera mask has moved me with it's hard surface and smooth edges ever since I first laid eyes. The fit is so clean, the camo's clean, the cape's clean ā it's modern, itās like what if Ghost wasnāt just the campest man in the SAS, what if he was just a little subtle about it. What if someone designed an outfit for himĀ that carried the message (skull) while still looking chic, tactical, deadly, and like you could take him somewhere nice. Anyway there's like a 5-sec shot in a Warzone trailer where he blows up a car from another, shittier car and then slow-mo slides back in through the window, cape flying, so it's just simply out of my hands. Here he is earlier in the footage, driving like he wants to crash:
I will not digress on this, but the mind you must possess to sew a skull onto a scarf, wear it over your head and then put on the fratboy-est shades to ever exist on TOP of that so the glare doesn't get in your eyes... that is a mind I canāt resist. I love him in this, it's nonchalant, it's artsy, it keeps him cool, presumably ā he's living his best life.
Before you judge, have you seen the fit (ass) ON the field?:
I am but a simple beast. Everything about this outfit is insane: the rider jacket, the platform work boots, the white skinny jeans, the brick phone (??) on his belt, the holographic skull shirt underneath just in case it isn't clear he's going to a cybergoth rave after this
Also I think in order to fill him out to fit the hitbox for multiplayer, they like doubled his body mass, and I've never in my life been so grateful for fair play. Listen I don't need to explain this, you get it, my beloved mutuals get it, it's a no-brainer: this is step-on-me territory and it's on the list
Classic Ghost: I love this 22 Ghost cosplaying as 09 Ghost. I love the 09 Ghost fit in general, bc it's such a cuddly jumper, and so old-man coded, and to see 22 Ghost in it is such a delight.
Nightwar: I do love this fit to death: "this is capture or kill", following the Lt into open fire, seeing him lit up in night-vision, falling in love media res ā but it's not as iconic as the others, 70% of its goodness is sentiment, and god forbid I allow bias affect this very objective list
The Rook: I like, looked at this skin once to draw it and it grew on me instantly. It provides no tactical advantage, makes him look extremely bully-able ā but there he is in his lean-back: "Go on take the piss, it's a ghillie suit" obscuring him in WHAT ENVIRONMENT? Who could say
Venator: I am endeared to this one because in my head itās depressed, grieving Ghost letting himself go, not giving a shit about how he looks because the love of his life is dead, wearing one of Soap's scarves or something. Look at the RAGS on him, covered in dirt, cuts untreated, mask RUSTY?? (what's it made of)
Unidentified MWIII promo look:
Am I crazy or did this look just not show up in MWIII... did they think we wouldn't be able to tell who it is under this new mask, so they just gave him the default one... I love it, RIP
