Ghost (perk)


 * For the character in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, see Ghost (Character).

Ghost is a Tier 1 perk featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops. It is similar to the UAV Jammer, Camouflage, and Cold-Blooded perks from other Call of Duty games which feature Perks.

Overview
Ghost prevents players from being shown on radar while an enemy Spy Plane is in the air, similarly to how UAV Jammer and Camouflage work.

Ghost's Pro version prevents automated killstreaks, with the exception of Dogs, from attacking the player. In addition, it removes the red box that marks targets for the player-controlled killstreaks such as the Gunship. It also prevents the player from glowing white in the Infrared Scope or in a Camera Spike. As a final effect, the red cross-hair and name do not appear when an enemy aims at a player using Ghost Pro. Aim Assist still targets Ghost Pro users, however.

Contrary to the in-game description of Ghost, neither Ghost nor Ghost Pro will protect the player from an SR-71 Blackbird, Dogs (except on the Wii version), or Motion Sensors.

Pro Challenges

 * Concealed Kills – Kill 20 enemies while they have a Spy Plane or Blackbird active.
 * Destroy Aircraft – Destroy 30 aircraft with any non-Killstreak launcher (i.e. M72 LAW or Strela-3).
 * Destroy Sentry Gun – Destroy 1 Sentry Gun

Appearance Modifier
Ghost gives the player model a ghillie suit or other sort of camouflage, depending on the faction.

Urban Black Ops - Gray hooded cloaked figure, with backpack.

Urban Spetsnaz - Same as above with green and black camouflage.

Arctic Black Ops - The original winter ghillie suit.

Arctic Spetsnaz - A Russian winter ghillie suit.

SOG - Original jungle ghillie suit.

NVA - Green clothing attire.

Op 40 - Original green ghillie suit.

Tropas - Hooded urban ghillie suit without leaves.

Tips

 * If the player is having difficulty destroying a Sentry Gun to unlock Ghost Pro, he might equip a Sentry Gun as one of his Killstreaks. He can then go into a Free-for-All match, earn a Sentry Gun, throw the Sentry Gun marker, and let an enemy steal the Sentry Gun crate. He can then follow the enemy and wait until he places it to destroy it.
 * If the player is having difficulty destroying a Sentry Gun to unlock Ghost Pro, he might find the Hacker perk helpful. This perk makes it easier to find the Sentry Gun, as it glows bright red and makes it visible even through walls.
 * Ghost Pro is very effective for use in an anti-air class. Enemy air support won't be able to see the player, which makes them noticeably easier to shoot down. However, player controlled killstreaks can still follow where a launched rocket came from, making it possible for them to track down and kill the player.
 * It is easiest to complete the Ghost Pro challenge by shooting down spy planes, counter-spy planes, and Care Package helicopters instead of trying to shoot down the other types of helicopters, as they will pop flares.
 * The Strela-3 (unlocked at Level 30) is a good launcher to help achieve Ghost Pro, as it shoots down spy planes, counter spy planes and care package helicopters with one shot, and helicopters that pop flares with two shots.
 * The Tier 3 perk Hacker Pro is good to use in combination with Ghost Pro, as Hacker Pro makes the player invisible to motion sensors.
 * The Tier 3 perk Ninja Pro is another good one to use in combination with Ghost Pro, as Ninja Pro causes the player's footsteps to make nearly no sound.
 * When a Spy Plane is called, and there is an enemy flag carrier using Ghost in Capture the Flag, His/Her location indicator won't show on the map and will be hidden making it hard to locate the flag carrier.
 * Capturing flags in Domination with Ghost will not announce the other team that their flag is being captured. The flag icon will still flash to indicate it happening.
 * The Multiplayer map Array has many places where a Ghost user could hide as the Artic Ghille Suit helps to stay hidden in the winter bushes. For example, around the A flag in Domination, the winter bushes surronding it will allow Ghost users to stay hidden, and only be seen by a keen eye. There is also a bush underneath the large tractor around the C flag, allowing the player to peer through the leaves and branches to defend the flag.

Trivia

 * In Combat Training, a glitch may occur. The AI opponents may have Ghost or Ghost Pro, but their character model won't have a ghillie suit even though it is part of their team attire for Ghost.
 * Using Valkyrie Rockets will count toward the "Destroy Aircraft" Pro Challenge, even though it says you can't use any Killstreak launcher.
 * The Arctic Spetsnaz with Ghost uses Dimitri Petrenko's face model
 * Ghost is EXTREMELY nooby and is only used by Xbox fags or queers
