No mosh pit is just vacant and shipment

heroics

Seems like every 2nd game in the standard rotation is now shipment or vacant as well

Hold on a minute, wtf is up with shipment I never remember it being that bad, literally spawning in with someone ADS in the spawn, spawn behind an enemy, spawn on a claymore, spawn on an RPG, don't spawn on the enemy flag, spawn holding the trigger cause this is way more bonkier than the original.

I never remember the ww2 version being that bad either. I think it’s the spawns. I kept speaking into the sights of an enemy. Actually spawned into the stream of bullets from an lmg

iLikeWaffles

It is unplayable, spawned at a HQ behind everyone and took them all out. Really goes to show how bad the spawns are in the game. Even on Shoot House they were bad, but this is a joke!

F1ngers

Shipment, HC, Domination, love the carnage.
Absolutely brilliant.

iLikeWaffles

It's literally spray and pray like this, can't get your bearings when you spawn either (spawn death). It is a small map but there is still a lot of map there! No need for the enemy to spawn behind you or you behind them, game modes are not taking the objective into account also, seems like the exact same spawns across all modes on shipment.

I'll just leave this here:

Are ye actually giving out about a map that has never been right for 6v6? It's too small. Would be a grand 2v2 match, but anything else, across any of the games which had it, it was too small anyway and always ended up in a **** storm like above. Now with the new one, movement is faster so it's even more of a **** storm. Never liked that map.

iLikeWaffles

That map is grand for a 6v6, granted it was/is and should be hectic. I'm not giving out about the map the map should be playing fine, its the spawns that are ****e. As you can see from the video I spawn in the exact same location 3 times and another 2 times in the same area a few feet from the 3 previous deaths - that is not the maps fault its the spawns. Also the reason why I was blindly firing there was because the enemy was just spawning in the same spot also, on the objective, just before the clip was recorded.

Potential-Monke

Does indeed appeaer to be crap spawning too. But it's not a map for objective based play imo.

No but with objective based game modes, you spawn on the objective into the shit storm, you have no choice in the matter because they didn't adjust the spawns.

Also in the video!

Potential-Monke

Your video is more proof that it's too small, even without the spawn camping or objective spawning. #

It's too too small in general! :pac:

How so? There is a lot more places you could be spawning! In a container for one, take your pick there's loads. Absolutely anywhere there is no enemy, there is more corners and obstructed lines of sight than there are enemies.

"Shipment is a map in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty Online, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered. It is one of the smallest maps in the Call of Duty series."

It's just too small for objective based modes. Anything more than 6v6 is just manic and not enjoyable. Even 6v6 is too much on it. It's just too small a map full stop, and would be better suited for the 2v2 modes. That's all. It's like that other map, Scrap[yard from MW2. Too small!

On the opposite end then, they have a map way too big - Aniyah Palace!! I don't back out when I see it, but I do dislike playing it.

gimli2112

you must be thinking of Rust you could fit 3 or 4 Rusts into scrapyard

I loved Rust but it never came up in search and destroy

Potential-Monke

Oh I know Rust, I like Rust, it's just big enough to enjoy, but those smaller maps are just mayhem and not enjoyable to me.

Infected on Aniyah Place is miserable. You're getting nuked if there's boosters in the lobby

I'm not sure why you pointing this out, I haven't once said it's not too small nor it's a map for more than 12. I know its a small map! The spawn system needs to be adjusted for that map in particular, you should not under any circumstances be spawning in the middle of any map. With it being a small map there is still lots and lots of places to spawn. You should not under any circumstances be spawning where an enemy can see you. The code for an enemy seeing you is in the game (there is even a perk for vision pulse when an enemy see's you when you can't see them - the same logic that this uses should be conditioned to the spawn system and it is not). Every map uses the same broken spawn system, you can just notice it a lot more on shipment because it is confined.

Take another map (Shoot House) There has been a number of times were I had spawn death animation, I even spawned right next to the HQ point (not active) with an enemy ADS a few mm from me. If you are looking down the middle players even spawn in front of you.

It's the spawn system not the maps, is all I'm saying, not that a map is too small. If the game had a working spawn system there wouldn't be a problem.

The thing about that is you still win.

People hide behind them! and they slow down traversing the map, make noise opening them etc

They must be really proud of their door opening mechanic.

That new Op Nikto’s gun is ridiculously OP and supercool I have to say.
Between the blue laser and the smoke effects for when you kill the enemy.
With a 50round mag I just went on insane kill streaks for me at least. Reckon it will definitely be nerfed unless the Kilo was already OP?

not anymore, I went on a 15 kill streak thinking I was great, then got infected and realised you don't get your knife back when you throw it
they changed something I think you only get one after a kill

Why can’t they just let people choose a map. Trying to play shipment and keep getting vacant which half the lobby leaves straight away. Trying to get shipment now I’ve joined 10 lobbies in a row and everyone is vacant

I know, it is ridiculous. Not a fan of Vaccant but it is an okay map, this version is not as good as the original. The only decent gamemode for it is Hardpoint, imo.

Really should be a filter for that moshpit, they will have to add one eventually if they keep adding fan favourite maps. Shipment / Shoot House / Dome (if it ever gets added) would be great. But just let people add any 6v6 or 10v10 map to a filter in a moshpit.

Played that cranked yet? Man what a trash mode. If you can't find the enemy you just die. Legitimately I was running around the whole map looking for the enemy and the game killed me 1 away from a VTOL on Gun Runner.

heroics

Haven’t given cranked a try yet. Reckoned the maps would be too big for it.

Even if you decide to stay in vacant everyone just leaves and the games take forever to start.

In fairness I just backed of it of 18 lobbies in a row and still never got shipment. So can’t really complain about anyone else doing it

iLikeWaffles

I reckon they lowered the likelihood of shipment coming up.

By god it is annoying! Think I had about 9 games in the space of 3 hours. That's just looking for a shipment game, mostly TDM and Kill Confirmed also.
