Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling has confirmed that vehicles will not feature in Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer component.
Speaking in a recent interview with GamerZines, Bowling stated:
"We never put vehicles in multiplayer.

"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."
Treyarch implemented drivable tanks into last year's Call of Duty: World at War, something many players disagreed with, citing that it caused problems with the game's balancing.
The AC130 Gunship was revealed in the first multiplayer video for Modern Warfare 2 released a few weeks back, which also revealed the customisable killstreak feature that Infinity Ward is introducing to the series. We'll have much more on that in the final part of our interview with Bowling, which goes live on the site tomorrow.
Modern Warfare 2 launches worldwide on November 10th for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. You're going to buy it, aren't you?
