I'm still getting Need for Speed: SHIFT over this, though.
Reminds me of
I like the new prestige upgrades, and I figure that if you have to pick up your throwing knife as a piece of equipment, maybe you can pick up nades?

Interview with Infinity Ward Multiplayer Designer Todd Alderman reveals new information!
You can read the full interview by clicking here, but we've sniffed out the best bits and included them below to save you some time!
Joystiq Interview with IW Multiplayer Designer - Todd Alderman
Can anybody use that riot shield or is it just that class?
[..] It is a primary weapon. So you can choose to take an M4 or you can choose to take a riot shield. What you are giving up with that is your primary weapon. So when you have the riot shield out, you can't shoot. All you are doing is blocking. You can kill the other guy with melee, but it takes two hits. Like the knife is an instant kill; one hit, he dies. With the riot shield you bash him with the shield and then you bash him again. Then they die. So it is much harder to kill someone, but it is really satisfying.
Does that shield wear down after a while? Like if people are hammering it with bullets, does it eventually break up?
[..] No.
So you can't use the shield and a smaller secondary weapon like a pistol at the same time?
[..] You can swap to another weapon. But while you have the shield out, you can't fire. The shield has a slower swap because it is so big, which is another balancing factor of the shield. You can't just go up to the guy and "bam bam" kill them. You have to swap it out, and they see what you are doing. And depending on what your secondary is, how fast you swap. They can stick semtex to your shield and blow you up. There are different angles as well. I mean, to be truly effective with it you have to crouch because your feet aren't covered unless you are crouching. But then you are moving slower. You are more vulnerable. It definitely is a unique experience. And also, when it is taking hits you actually get the visual cracks on the shield. So eventually, if you are really good with the riot shield, eventually you can't seen anything anymore because there are nothing but bullet holes covering the shield.
Do you guys bring the snowmobiles into multiplayer?
[..] No, not that you can ride at least. They are there.
We saw a lot of problems not long ago appearing with the modders glitching in Call of Duty, and you guys were putting out patches to combat that. Are you guys going to implement any sort of team voting to kick a player out in the next one?
[..] No. There is no team voting. We tried to fix the problem and not just the symptom. So if there is something really messing with the game, we just jump right on top of it and try to fix it.
Will you be able to play multiplayer with two people on one console, going online together?
[..] No.
Have you guys announced how many multiplayer maps you're going to ship with it?
[..] No. There are lots.
Lots, okay. More than the original game came with?
[..] Yes. Bigger in every way.
The main things that this interview has confirmed are:
* At least one Snowy map (There will be non-ridable Snowmobiles' in it)
* There's no voting system to kick team killers
* There's no split screen online multiplayer
* There's more MW2 maps included with the game, than COD4 was shipped with
* Riot Shield melee requires two hits to kill
* The only way to destroy a Riot Shield is with explosives, or shooting the player from behind
