Fans can finally play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 after it was globally released on October 28 with a campaign and multiplayer game mode. Activision plans to mark a new beginning for the entire franchise that will follow a path more inclined towards realism and immersion. The latest title already packs stunning visuals that should captivate anyone who plays the game.

The publishers have introduced many changes to Modern Warfare 2 and the Perk System is one of those. These perks are important as they shape the various types of playstyles in the game and can be customized to make something entirely new. Perks either provide information to players, take away information from enemies, or provide some kind of a buff that makes them last longer on the battlefield.

There are various perks that can be used as a focal point and then form a playstyle around it as well. One of these perks is Ghost. Players can read on to learn how to unlock it.

Players can easily obtain the Ghost Ultimate Perk in Modern Warfare 2 as it only has a single unlock criteria. Fans will need to play the game for a while to reach the Military Rank of 52 on their account. The reward for completing this Military Rank is the Ghost Perk, which can then be equipped with custom-made perk packages.

Until players unlock the Ghost Perk for themselves, they will utilize the Phantom package, which is a prebuilt package that includes the Ghost Perk in its ultimate slot.
