when I say the word shipment and then I say the phrase Call of Duty what comes to mind Shipment
has been an extremely hit or mismap over the years in the franchise now the original appearance was
an iconic condition to Cod history each remake well they've each had a few key changes that
pretty drastically change the overall quality good to bad and somewhere in the middle welcome to the
page everybody chaos here today we're going to look through Call of Duty as a franchise and
since Shipment has returned once again in Modern Warfare 2022 we're gonna rank every single version
of shipment from the absolute worst bottom of the barrel to the peak to the top to the best map of
shipment now we're going to see how my ranking compares to all of yours because there's only
five so you can actually do this in the comment section yourself so get to ranking let me know
what you think the best shipment in COD history is drop that like of course and the worst one the
absolute bottom of the barrel at number five has to be Modern Warfare 2019. now shipment quickly
became one of the most popular maps in Modern Warfare it was added to the game but that's
not because it was actually a well-designed map despite having the same name as Cod 4 classic the
2019 version of shipment was completely changed from the original and it featured a brand new
layout and a brand new color scheme given how slow paced Modern Warfare was I mean at that
time people flocked to it so they could actually get some action in Call of Duty again but it's no
secret the map itself had a lot of fatal flaws the spawns they were bad certain kill streaks
were completely busted here if you were playing hardcore shipment somebody got white phosphorus
well the game was pretty much unplayable for 60 seconds because it was just going to kill
everybody on both teams over and over again the popularity of this shipment map was because you
could grind your camos really really fast compared to other Maps camos and Modern Warfare weren't
insane grinding in standard game modes it took hours to make any progress on its shipment It
sped that progress up but it doesn't mean the map was good people were there to save time not
enjoy themselves now it was super satisfying to jump around corners get a five-man frag grenade
on this on this version but it was easily the most poor early design example of the classic map and I
don't think many people are going to argue with me putting it at the very bottom new school Cod
fans may like how frantic how insane it can get here but if you ever experience classic shipment
or even Cod World War II's version you instantly see the problems that this one has at number four
Vanguard shipment now after Modern Warfare change shipment so drastically I think a lot of us were
expecting Sledgehammer to bring it back to the basics when they remade the map for COD Vanguard
after all this was sledgehammer's second time remaking the classic map so I think a lot of us
were expecting them to take the 2019 versions criticism to heart and do something a little
more traditional little did we know that the Vanguard version was going to be even further
from The Originals layout more into the craziness that the 2019 version had to offer but I do think
the Vanguard version of shipment works just a little better mainly because of The High Ground
patches on the edges of the map on the 2019 version the only patches of high ground that
are easily accessible are in the dead center of the map so you rarely see anybody up there on
the Vanguard version on the other hand there was a couple patches of High Ground added near where
the ANC domination flags were that gave the map a little bit of unique character the middle lanes
were also opened up a little bit which could get interesting but only on rare occasions overall
the Vanguard version was a step up from the 2019 version but it wasn't amazing largely because all
the bad spawns are ridiculous explosive and fire spam it's clear that Sledgehammer was trying to
fix Modern Warfare 2019's mistakes with this new version of shipment and I guess at no point though
did somebody say hey why don't we just bring back the original Cod 4 version the Vanguard version of
shipment is better than the Modern Warfare one but it's still far below the best shipments in
COD history that said this isn't the last one you're going to hear about Sledgehammer Games
on this list so let's keep going at number three today the middle of the road Modern Warfare 2 2022
Infinity Ward decided to change shipment yet again for this version that we're playing right now and
I'm starting to get the feeling that this is going to be a tradition for Call of Duty moving forward
every couple years or so we get a new version of shipment and it's going to be completely
different from all the previous versions but it's definitely a lot less crazy than the last
couple adding verticality to shipment back in 2019 was a weird decision then expanding upon
that verticality in Vanguard was questionable but it seems IW is going for a bit closer rendition
to the classic one with this version in terms of atmosphere I think the new shipment looks
and feels awesome it's a bit earlier and a lot of people are already complaining about the dim
lighting and what it's done to visibility but in terms of actual game Flow this is way better
than the last couple versions it's amazing what removing the verticality from a small Mac like
this will do to the game Flow but overall I think this version is pretty good it's definitely not
as good as the classics but I think it's the best modern interpretation of the map we've gotten so
far I'm holding out hope the classic shipment makes a return in a Mainline CoD game because
as you can probably guess I'm still holding that version up there in pretty high regards to the
new ones for what it's worth the Modern Warfare 2 version is a good middle ground between old and
new shipment but since it's at number three you're probably gonna be able to guess what the other two
are coming up but do you know what order they're in at number two today I'm going to go with Cod
World War II also known as shipment 1944. very popular version of the classic Cod 4 map although
it took a few patches to get us there in terms of layout the shipment is exactly the same as Cod 4
but the setting got overhauled instead of being a grassy foggy shipping yard it's a bright sunny
and covered insane to better fit with the Pacific Theater setting of cod World War II map when the
map was first out of the game the spawns were a little busted that led to a lot of frustrating
blowouts yes Sledgehammer elected not to copy paste the spawns from the original Cod 4 version
but when crafting their new spawn system they pausingly forgot that lmgs could shoot through
the container walls meaning certain spawn points were an inch to death almost every single time the
game puts you in there now in certain game modes like domination shipment 1944 spawn system could
be a huge problem but Sledgehammer swooped in they overhauled the shipment spawns a couple times and
the final version is pretty good yes it has some problems of its own like lmg and requisition spam
but other than that it's a good update to the classic 1v1 Showdown map shipment 1944 perfectly
captures the craziness of the original while still updating the setting and Lighting to give it a
little bit of its own unique character I will say that playing on shipment with score streaks and
dolphin Dives felt pretty weird at first to an old school fan like myself but it's a good map
and it fits Cod World War II perfectly you may want to blame Modern Warfare 2019 for starting
the shipment remake spam but I think Sledgehammer is actually to blame here ship in 1944 was hands
down the most popular map in COD World War II when it was added I'm pretty sure that shipment
24 7 playlist was the most active uh player list that any game mode had right I mean if you want
fast-paced Cod gameplay classic shipment is one of the best maps for it since ship in 1940-42 is
an excellent remake it's no shock that everybody wanted to play it all the time there's one left
I mean obviously there's not much of a surprise here but at number one Cod 4 and Modern Warfare
remastered shipment sometimes you just cannot beat the ogs you can't beat the classics in the case of
shipment it holds true introduced in COD 4 is this small 1v1 map it ended up becoming one of the most
insane popular multiplayer maps in fps history at that time not only were public matches ridiculous
here but the custom matches that people came up with they got even crazier you had mods on the PC
version people come up with some insane shipment custom games while the regular multiplayer
players were constantly trying to find shipment lobbies for fast-paced high kill matches of TDM
and Dom Modern Warfare remastered they obviously brought shipping back in all its original Glory
but with the addition of more modern graphics and smoother performance which made it an even better
experience now throughout Cod history Shipment has been a controversial map because some people
think it's too crazy to be good other people think it's too good it's or it's good because it's so
crazy but with the different versions of the map the original is still the one that most people
would consider the best myself included that's because it was built to be a good map first in
a crazy map second if any word obviously didn't know the impact that shipment was going to have
when they released Cod 4 so they just designed it with the Karen quality the other maps and
the game would receive and it showed even though the layout was simple the spawns are safe as you
could possibly ask for a map on that small I mean they're hectic and the action is non-stop yes but
at no point do you feel like you're fighting with the map itself instead of the enemy team that's
something the future versions of shipment they couldn't pull off because the developers were
intentionally trying to make a map for this insane gameplay in action unfortunately for
later versions craziness and intense gameplay isn't something you can design it's something
that happens naturally as a good result of a good game and good map design classic shipment
is still the best version of of this map by a landslide I'm really hoping future Maps remake if
they're gonna remake them they understand that the original version of a Cod map is probably always
going to be better than any reimagining you could give it just remake the original maps with modern
graphics and everybody should be happy let me know what your ranking was and I'll see you soon
