Fan Favorites Shipment & Shoothouse Return In MW2 Season 1

Modern Warfare 2 had a divisive but commercially successful launch, but we're already talking about Season 1. And one of the most exciting aspects of the new season is the return of some fan favorite maps: Shoothouse and Shipment.

Modern Warfare 2 Season 1 is just around the corner, and you know what that means: new weapons, new modes, and (of course) new maps. The map set we have so far isn't bad; Hotel, Mercado and Raceway are objectively solid maps that have a good flow to them. But obviously we want more, because it's easy to get bored with only ten. Thankfully, we've just heard about new 6v6 maps coming in MW2 Season 1, and we think fans will be happy...

If you're looking to jump into the game with Season 1, this is the current meta for you to focus your levelling on:

Shoothouse & Shipment Return For Season 1

As was first discovered by dataminers, Shipment and Shoothouse (from CoD 4 and MW2019 respectively) will be returning as remastered maps in MW2 Season 1. Shoothouse will come at launch and Shipment will arrive in the midseason update. Here's what Shoothouse will look like in MW2:

Both are great maps for grinding, so get ready to start levelling the best weapons in the game and working towards your mastery camos. Good luck.

Are you excited for new maps? Already bored with Taraq? We're hyped for new content, but to be honest we actually do like a lot of the MW2 maps (you can find our tier-ranking of all the Modern Warfare 2 maps here).

If you were still on the fence, maybe Shipment and Shoothouse have persuaded you to pick up a copy of Modern Warfare 2 ?
