One of the most popular Call of Duty multiplayer maps ever made is Shipment. Shipment made its debut in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, with fans immediately taking a liking to its close-quarters, fast-paced combat. Shipment's popularity has seen the map re-released and remade in subsequent Call of Duty games, with the latest iteration of Shipment featured in the recently released Call of Duty: Vanguard.
While Call of Duty fans can check out Shipment in Vanguard, they will soon be able to visit the map while playing the Call of Duty: Warzone battle royale. It's been discovered that a portion of the Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific map Caldera is based on Shipment. In fact, there's a fenced-in Industrial Docks area on the Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific map that looks virtually identical to Shipment as it appears in the various Call of Duty games it's popped up in over the years.
Activision just recently pulled the curtain back on the Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific map, giving Call of Duty fans a chance to plan ahead when it comes to where they're going to drop and what strategies they might employ. Since Shipment is such a popular map in the standard Call of Duty multiplayer, one has to imagine that it will be a hotspot for Call of Duty: Warzone players come December 8.
Call of Duty: Warzone will change forever on December 8, as Verdansk is replaced by Caldera. The Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific map should shake things up considerably, as it's making changes beyond giving players a new map to explore.
It's been confirmed that the Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific map is bringing with it fundamental changes to how the battle royale works. For example, Call of Duty: Warzone loadout drops are changing with the new map so that players can't purchase loadouts until after the first free loadout has dropped. This should make looting at the beginning of matches more important, as players will be stuck with the guns they've looted for a lot longer than normal.
Another change is coming to the Gulag. With the launch of the Pacific map, the Call of Duty: Warzone Gulag is changing so that when players win a Gulag fight, they respawn with the weapons they were using in the Gulag. All of these changes should result in quite a different experience for Call of Duty fans, and it will be interesting to see how it all plays out come December 8.
Call of Duty: Warzone is out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
