No vehicles in CoD 4: Modern Warfare's multiplayer mode

While the 3D portrait recently released by Infinity Ward for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (PS3, 360, PC) was interesting enough, we know you are getting more curious and excited about developments for the video game itself. The latest issue of PC Gamer Magazine just happens to have exactly what you want.

In a recent interview with PC Gamer, Infinity Ward President Grant Collier dished out the difference between the multiplayer and single player modes of Modern Warfare. Collier noted that there's one mission in the latter that will require players to be a gunner in a Cobra assault helicopter and inflict some serious damage on the enemy below them, but vehicles will not appear in multiplayer mode.

Collier mentioned that it was Infinity Ward's intention to focus on infantry combat during multiplayer battles so no vehicles will be available for that mode. He explained, "We want to keep the maps small, so there will be always intense action. If we made maps bigger so they could include vehicles, they'd become less interesting for infantry combat, and that's what we want to focus on."

Well, we have to say that the reasoning behind that is quite logical and it wouldn't be as much fun if multiplayer battles can be concluded by weapon-laden vehicles. The same interview also included a look at some of the game's features. The following are quoted from the aforementioned magazine:

In multiplayer, you get experience points for your persistent character stats. A kill gets you 2 points, a head shot gets you 3 and an assist (wound them but someone else kills them) 1. You'll unlock new ranks, skins for your character and new weapons. The system is implemented so they can add additional unlocks that come with patches.
In both single and multiplayer, there are hard points. Points on the map that give you a specific advantage over the enemy. An example that was given: A radio that calls in an air strike, capture it and a helicopter will appear and attack the enemy with its rockets and machine guns. After the attack the hard point goes neutral again.
A new game type, Realism-Mode. Grant Collier says the mod community had implemented this into the previous titles and now they'll add one themselves. In this realism mode you die from one shot.

So many losers online say their console (either PS3 or X360) is better. No, the PS3 hardware is better only because it’s newer; however, the deciding factor which will choose the winner of this console war is the content (games). Both consoles have numerous blockbuster (must-buy, ground-breaking, triple-A, console-selling) exclusive games. That’s why you must buy both consoles.

[PS3 Exclusives]

- Dynasty Gundam Musou (garbage): hack n slash

- Lair (garbage): aerial hack & slash

- Heavenly Sword (garbage): 20% God of War rip-off + 80% hack n slash

damn it would be sweet with tanks. Thats the best part of COD3. Oh well at least there's goin to be online stat's. Thats the worst part of COD3 . it doesnt make much sence to play online since its doesnt keep track of kill's and stuff

# » Yo, buy both X360 & PS3 consoles [End of the Console War Debate] — Guest 2007-05-30 15:25

# Nice list — Guest 2007-05-30 19:29

Only uncharted should b in da garbage section. Nice graphics but has da g4yist storyline in da world, n da fighting looks weak as hell... o And resistance 2 should b in best on da PS3 side

ITS CONFIRMED BEYOCH 8^)

# nice — Guest 2007-05-30 21:58

time to be realistic, i dont think an average army soldier/marine(not sure which one the game is doing, army or marines) should know how to drive and operate a tank that should have a crew of 4, only mount the machine gun, or know how to fly a helicopter. lets be realistic for once, real shooter fans know vehicles are a No-No.

but i must admit tank battles are fun. =D CoD3 would be better if there were more tanks.

# Lol — Guest 2007-05-30 22:06

Haven't you already posted that in here? Get a life man

# hmm — Guest 2007-05-30 23:52

Hmm I dont quite know how you can make assuptions like this.

I mean you call 'The Eye of Judgment (garbage): another card game' - hmm another card game? Has there ever been a game like this before? NO there hasnt. As for the rest of your ''reviews'' I find them hard to belive.

# Keep ur biased opinions....... — Guest 2007-05-31 07:10

to urself! U dat same guy dat keep posting da same ***** every week do us all a favour and leave this blog alone

# Vehicles not necessary — Guest 2007-05-31 10:04

You know i think a lot of people got sick of vehicles in Battlefield 2 cause only 1 or 2 people on a 64 player server could get a tank and just own everyone. Then EA came out with Infantry only mode so u can just play with infantry. I am very happy there are no vehicles cause infantry is more fun.

# I play on PC — Guest 2007-06-07 12:58

If you want to have a better experience what COD 1,2,4 multiplayer Play on PC I think games like these are way better on PC than in consoles plus I don't have to subscribe or pay to play online I did away with my consoles and I only play on pc So I'm Pretty sure I'm goint to like COD4
