Thanks, Call Of Duty Dog, For Brightening Up A Mostly Dull Xbox Event

Now that Call of Duty: Ghosts is an official thing — and since the only detail we’re being given is something to do with masks, I think — it’s an interesting time to look back on what the famous and one-time-infamous Call of Duty skull mask even is. You might not remember the event that tried to place infamy on the balaclava that Lieutenant Ghost (ahem, ahem) wears in Call of Duty.
