Shipment is back in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. GameFront reports on its return and describes it as a continuation of “our favourite accidental legacy.” This news comes as Nintendo confirms that Modern Warfare 4 is now available for Nintendo Switch 2.
Shipment has a rich history in the franchise. It first appeared in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare in 2007 and quickly became a beloved choice for its compact size and relentless close-quarters action. The term “accidental,” as mentioned by GameFront, highlights how the map gained its reputation thanks to player interactions rather than intentional design.
Right now, information about the map is limited. Most coverage includes headlines and brief summaries, lacking specifics on the map’s features, playlist inclusion, or comments from developers. We still can’t confirm how Shipment has been updated, which game modes will include it, or if it will be available on all platforms.
The Switch 2 release is confirmed, though. Nintendo’s announcement features the tagline “Stay frosty” and states that the game is available now. Unfortunately, it doesn’t provide pricing or performance details in the material we’ve seen.
Modern Warfare 4 is also gaining attention for reasons beyond multiplayer. Tech4Gamers reports that a developer from Baldur’s Gate 3 praised the game’s narrative and cinematics. However, the summary doesn’t name the developer or include full comments, so we won’t attribute specific statements.

- Switch 2 performance: Look for frame rate, resolution, and player count data to gauge how the port performs.
