Modern Warfare 2: No vehicles confirmed by Infinity Ward

The idea of roaming around in vehicles in Modern Warfare 2′s multiplayer was an exciting one, but it has just been confirmed by Infinity Ward that this will not be a reality. Oh well, it was a long shot anyway.

When speaking in an interview with GamerZine, Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling stated that the team ‘never use vehicles in multiplayer’. Why is that you ask? Well he explains in the following statement:

“Our focus is on fast-paced infantry combat, where you’re never reliant on transportation. “We do have expanded Killstreak Rewards now, some of which are user-controlled. For example, where you previously could call in UAV, Airstrikes, and Helicopter Support but had no control on how helpful they were, there are many more options which allow you to take control of the gunner or control its success a bit more for a limited time. Such as the AC130 gunship where you can fire any of the three weapons on it during its limited time in the air.”

Somehow we don’t think that many of you will be too disheartened to hear that vehicles will not be appearing in mulitplayer this time around. There will be plenty of other things within multiplayer to get you pumped anyway we reckon.

The game is out November 10th worldwide. Any of you out there who HAVEN’T pre-ordered yet?
