Developers remove Shipment and Shoot House from Call of Duty Modern Warfare multiplayer

Despite being fan favorites, Infinity Ward has removed Shipment and Shoot House 24/7 from the MW multiplayer mode. Fans loved both the maps for their fast-paced action and intense gunfights. Naturally, their removal is a shocker for the community.

However, in hindsight, it seems like a very strategic move. Black Ops Cold War released today, and Activision certainly wants a head start in the game’s initial sales. Removing two of the most popular game modes from Modern Warfare might incentivize more players to buy Black Ops Cold War.

Also, the latest playlist update added the Realism and Free For All Party Moshpit in Modern Warfare. Last, but not least, Mini Royale is back in Warzone.
