Of all the maps in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Shipment is undoubtedly up near the top of the list of fan favorites. Its emphasis on close-quarters combat has resulted in issues with player spawning in the past, but the chaos that tight space contributes to has led to fans asking Infinity Ward to bring the Shipment 24/7 playlist back after it was removed earlier this month.
The chaotic possibilities inherent to Shipment are perfectly encapsulated by a video uploaded to the r/modernwarfare subreddit today by user Hados_, showing off a crazy 20-second killfeed where the player jumps into action as soon as a match begins and scores a huge string of kills using everything at their disposal. The comments on the post range from other Modern Warfare players offering respect and awe to calling it "toxic," and even Hados_ describes the scene as a showcase of "disgusting behavior."
Part of what makes the killfeed so impressive is the diversity in the tools utilized. While much of the carnage is laid by long stretches of firing into crowds of players, even drawing comparisons to the infamous Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 mission "No Russian," the event begins with a well-thrown smoke grenade that ricochets off shipment crates, and at one point Hados_ pulls out a Riot Shield to deliver a kill.
Using the Riot Shield is an especially interesting choice given it has been labeled as overpowered in the past, and in the battle royale Call of Duty: Warzone it also happens to be bugged. However, Hados_ makes sparring use out of the defensive weapon, which Infinity Ward has said it will be investigating.
The combined skill and luck in this Shipment killfeed is a good example of one of the reasons why Call of Duty games continue to be so popular despite often being derided for redundant yearly sequels. Modern Warfare and its spin-off Warzone have been particularly successful titles for Activision, and with that success has come fun videos like teams taking on Helicopter-based operations in Warzone.
While fans have been enjoying Modern Warfare and its continual content updates, many are also waiting on the announcement of the long-rumored Call of Duty 2020 that may be set during the Cold War. A big leak about Call of Duty 2020 yesterday suggests that game will have some ideas fans may love, and some they may be disappointed by.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is available on PS4, PC, and Xbox One.
