Call of Duty Modern Warfare II Players Can’t Tolerate the Deadly Spawns Anymore on This Popular Map

Published 09/09/2023, 10:48 AM EDT

Call of Duty has a history of creating some of the greatest multiplayer maps in existence. These maps were the pinnacle of design, particularly during the original Modern Warfare era. Maps such as Crash, Terminal, and Shoothouse have forever been immortalized among gamers.

There is one such map that made a comeback with the Modern Warfare reboot, Shipment. The reboot of a classic map that featured on multiple CoDs came back to the pleasure of fans. However, with its return on Modern Warfare II, fans aren’t exactly pleased with the way a match turns out on the map.

Call of Duty fans frustrated with Shipment’s spawn traps

Fans expressed their rage at being spawn trapped on Shipment, after being stuck in a loop of dying immediately after respawning. Spawn trapping is not something new when it comes to CoD and is usually seen as a sign of dominating the other team. With this map, however, it simply comes down to the map.

I’ve played many hours of various iterations of Shipment,but these types of spawns utterly baffle me.Spawned *into* gunfire?I would say I don’t understand the logic,but there is none.

As can be seen in the video, the player gets killed right after they spawn. Now, in some instances, they are spawn-trapped beside their team. In this instance, it feels less like a rare occasion and more of a routine occurrence. It is something a lot of players experience.

Because of this, fans feel Shipment is quite unplayable. Players find themselves avoiding the map whenever it comes up in the game.

The issue seems to be summed up by one Redditor. The problem did not come up in Shipment on 2019’s Modern Warfare. In Modern Warfare 2, Call of Duty changed things up. The map got cluttered and more confusing to understand in the heat of the moment. Combine that with the overpowered tear gas grenades and you get spawn trapped.

Fans felt relieved to know it was not just them who faced the spawn trapping problems. Seeing other people post about facing the same issue felt like a sigh of relief.

The thing is Shipment, as a map, holds a lot of fond memories for CoD players. Similar to Rust, the map had some quality 1v1s. Moreover, it is featured in nearly every single Modern Warfare title. Seeing its current state feels disappointing. Fans hope that with Modern Warfare III coming this year, the map will see changes made to it.
