Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 – Shipment Arrives October 27. The classic Shipment map is coming to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 just a few days after launch, Infinity Ward confirmed in a recent social media roadmap.Modern Warfare 4 is already available in early access and fully launches at midnight Eastern on Friday, October 23, 2026. Shipment will follow on Tuesday, October 27.A Quick Look at Shipment’s HistoryShipment first appeared in 2007’s Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Set in a shipping yard near Chernobyl, it was originally designed as a developer test map. Its tiny size quickly made it a fan favorite (and a source of frustration) for its nonstop, chaotic action—players can cross the entire map in seconds and sometimes get eliminated the moment they respawn.What to Expect in Modern Warfare 4

• The map keeps its ultra-compact layout.
• It will support all Core and Hardcore modes, including Team Deathmatch plus new modes like Collateral and Inflation.
• At launch on October 23, players will have 20 multiplayer maps available (including Sentry, Kill Block, and Rooftops). Shipment brings the total to 21.

Other Launch DetailsPlayers will need to download a sizable day-one patch before jumping into multiplayer. The update includes:

• A new Proving Grounds training course for practicing combat and movement.
• Weapon balancing changes based on beta feedback, with SMGs now stronger in close- to mid-range fights.

Camo Grinding and ProgressionBecause of its small size, Shipment remains one of the best maps for quickly earning Weapon XP and camos. Camo challenges are now tied more to weapon level than pure headshot counts. Special camos (such as Smoke) can also be unlocked independently and applied to any weapon afterward.Players who pre-ordered the game can already start leveling up via DMZ, which awards Player, Weapon, and Rank XP that carry over into multiplayer once the full game launches.Bottom line: Shipment isn’t day-one, but it arrives only four days after the official release—plenty of time for fans of the classic chaos map to get their fix.
