The online experience is the same great twitchy fragfest it was in Call of Duty 2, with one major improvement: vehicles. While we found the tanks to be a little cumbersome and, more specifically, complete deathtraps due to rocket-wielding engineers, they did offer some nice variety in the 12-on-12 battles. Our favorite vehicle, though, was the motorcycle with sidecar, not so much because it was useful, but because we found tons of diversionary fun in zipping around the battle with no specific agenda.
