The announcement of Zombies for Call of Duty Modern Warfare III was a big shock for fans. With the game mode traditionally appearing in the Black Ops franchise, seeing its entry into another one of CoD’s biggest franchises certainly had fans excited.

With release less than two months away, Call of Duty finally revealed the trailer for the Zombies mode. While the star of the show clearly was Zakhaev and Soap McTavish, another iconic character made their way into the Modern Warfare Zombies universe. What adds to the hype is being able to play as this character with a Zombie twist added to the mix.

Getting Zombie Ghost in Call of Duty: MWIII

With Call of Duty revealing the Zombie Ghost Operator as part of the reveal trailer, fans wanted to get started on adding him to their roster. Instead of making players do missions, getting Zombie Ghost is quite simple. Getting Zombie Simon “Ghost” Riley is all about the pre-orders.

In the blog post on the Call of Duty website, devs revealed all you need to do is pre-order the game. The important part is, that Call of Duty specifies it has to be the Digital Edition that you pre-order. Apart from that, it does not matter if you get the Standard Edition or the Vault Edition. The Zombie Ghost Operator skin should be yours.

The thing to remember is that the earliest you can get access to this skin is September 27. If you pre-order, you should be able to use Zombie Ghost in Modern Warfare II. It certainly will be scary for opponents to see a zombie version of their favorite character charging at them. Who knows, the Operator could also mean fans get to see an unmasked version of Ghost.

Modern Warfare III Zombies has big things brewing

After a lot of anticipation, Call of Duty finally gave way to the Zombies trailer. A new entry into the Modern Warfare series, fans were eager to know what Sledgehammer does with this mode.
