Snowmobile

The Snowmobile is a controllable vehicle in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 first showed in the level "Cliffhanger". The Glock 18 can be fired with the left hand while driving one. "Soap" MacTavish and "Roach" Sanderson use the vehicles to escape Ultranationalist infantry, snowmobiles and helicopters in the level "Cliffhanger". It also appears in "Time Trial" and "Race" in Spec Ops mode. In the Spec Ops missions "Time Trial" and "Race" the player can get a Quick Start! which allows them to start a tad bit earlier than normal and gives the snowmobile a short burst of speed.

Trivia

 * GameStop gave away a custom black snowmobile (the same one used in the game) as part of their pre-order promotion for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
 * There is a GPS near the speedometer, which looks similar to an iPod.
 * On the sides of the snowmobiles that MacTavish and the player commandeer, there is a Ukrainian Tryzub painted on the side, which is interesting considering that the BTRs encountered later in the game also appear to have Ukrainian Origins. How these Snowmobiles thought to be from Ukraine ended up in Kazakhstan is unknown. It is possible that Ukraine has rejoined Russia as an ally, but nothing is stated. And no reference to the country is ever made, apart from "All Ghillied Up"and "One Shot, One Kill" in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
 * The snowmobile only appears in Cliffhanger in singleplayer, but appears in Race and Time Trial in Spec Ops. It is absent from multiplayer. The player can also see a snowmobile in the "Museum" level, though it cannot be used.
 * A non-drivable snowmobile can be seen on the multiplayer map Estate in a garage.
 * There is an Intel laptop during the course, however, it's the hardest to get because the player must drive on it, and it's difficult to see.
 * It is possible to see a moving snowmobile without a driver in the level "Cliffhanger".
 * The Snowmobile, the UAZ-469, and the Zodiac are the only vehicles that the player drives in Modern Warfare 2.
 * Although not impossible it would be extremely hard to fire a Glock 18 full auto, while still maintaining control of the snowmobile, especially since the driver would have to steer one-handed.
 * When shooting enemies off of a snowmobile, make sure to get out of the way since the snowmobile still runs a few feet after its riders have been shot off. The snowmobile is still capable of running over the player and killing them.
