Call of Duty costumes are built from modern tactical gear: plate carriers, helmets, face coverings. Unlike a lot of game costumes, this one benefits from realistic military surplus pieces instead of anything stylized, and it looks sharp because of it.
Ghost, with his skull-print balaclava, is the most recognized character even outside the game's core player base, an easy, striking pick. Other operators are a fun choice for a crowd that's deep into the current roster.
Military surplus stores are genuinely the best source for this costume, real gear reads more convincingly than costume-shop versions and often costs less too.
Ghost and Soap make a strong operator duo straight from the game's story. For a group, mix a few operators with different gear loadouts, varying helmet styles and plate carrier colors keep a Call of Duty group from looking like identical clones.
