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.
