Shipment (Call of Duty)
Shipment is a small, symmetrical multiplayer map featured in various installments of the Call of Duty franchise, renowned for its chaotic and fast-paced gameplay. Characterized by its compact size and simple layout, Shipment typically consists of four central shipping containers arranged in a square configuration, surrounded by four outer containers along the perimeter.
The map's confined space encourages constant player interaction and frenetic firefights, making it a popular choice for players seeking to rapidly level up weapons and unlock challenges. Due to the dense concentration of players, engagements are frequently short-range, favoring weapon loadouts geared towards close-quarters combat.
Shipment’s minimalist design and high-intensity gameplay often lead to unpredictable and often humorous situations, contributing to its enduring appeal within the Call of Duty community. The map is regularly featured in playlists specifically designed to showcase its chaotic nature, such as "Shipment 24/7" modes.
Different iterations of Shipment have appeared across various Call of Duty titles, sometimes with slight variations in the container arrangement or overall aesthetic. Despite these variations, the core gameplay experience remains consistent: a relentlessly intense and close-quarters battle. It is commonly cited as one of the most divisive maps within the series, loved by some for its action-packed nature and despised by others for its chaotic and unpredictable spawns.
