Shipment

Shipment is a small map ideal for quick and short games, like Free-for-All, in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. It is one of the smallest maps in all of the Call of Duty series.

Overview
When playing on this map, most players will arm themselves with shotguns or SMGs, in particular the P90, due to its very high rate of fire, and the MP5. Assault Rifles are also used to great effect due to the medium-range fighting that can occur, and LMGs are used to shoot through shipping containers or get many spray kills. The only guns that do not excel here are Sniper Rifles, unless the player likes to quick-scope. Throwing a grenade at any time during a game usually results in a kill and a well placed air strike can kill everyone on the opposing team. Spawn-killing is a big problem on matches when there are many players, especially on Free-for-All. To do well on this map, the player needs to have a quick mind because enemies are everywhere. Smart players can excel here, as knowledge of hiding/killing spots can achieve very quick kill streaks, without being exposed.

Trivia

 * The cars outside Shipment cannot be destroyed.
 * On Wii, Free-for-All is disabled on this map.
 * The words "Call of Duty" and "Infinityward" are faintly etched into some containers.
 * It is possible to get on top of some of the crates by standing on other players' heads.
 * A river can be seen on the side with the chain link fence.
 * On the side of the fence with the river, near the cranes there are birds. But if the player is to go on spectate and go up to where they are flying they will seem to get smaller and fade away.
 * If 18 players are playing in Shipment on Free-For-All, players will spawn inside each other. This is due to there not being enough spawn points.
 * It's possible to get onto the containers via Old School Free-for-all as players can jump higher. Simply jump onto the barrels then jump on top of the crate.
