CoD MW2 Shipment release date, UK launch time & Christmas update
When is the iconic map coming to Modern Warfare 2?
When it comes to Call of Duty maps, nothing quite conjures a feeling of nostalgia like Shipment. Despite being one of the smallest maps in the series, it's one of the most memorable. In fact, its miniature size is what makes it so intense. Ever since we first played it on Modern Warfare back in 2007, it's been one of our top locations.
Unsurprisingly, we can't wait for the midseason update to Season 1 of Modern Warfare 2 - because Shipment is making a return. Activision has released a Shipment map intel which details the changes made to the map, plus a few tactics on how to thrive in the new revamp of the classic arena.
If you're interested, keep reading because we're going to share everything we've found out so far about the new and (hopefully) improved Shipment map.
