A Tier 1 Shipment playlist is now in MW2 but what is this version of the old-school COD map and what does it involve?
Shipment is one of the most popular maps in MW2, providing players with a fast-paced environment perfect for getting tons of kills.
Now, a new playlist has been added featuring this iconic map and many players might be wondering what it is.
What is Tier 1 Shipment?
Tier 1 Shipment is a 24/7 playlist for the close-quarters map except it is played in the Tier 1 format. Tier 1 is MW2’s answer to hardcore mode as players have no HUD, less health, no hit markers, and no-kill confirmation.
If you think this small map is already fast-paced, the Tier 1 version will be even faster. Also, friendly fire is enabled so be careful not to kill your own teammates!

Is Tier 1 Shipment Hardcore in MW2?
While being MW2’s version of Hardcore, Tier 1 is not quite the fan-favorite mode. Tier 1 is much more similar to the Call of Duty Campaign Realism mode.
In OG Hardcore, you would have hit markers and kill confirmation, while Tier 1 lacks these features.
However, if you wish to play a Hardcore version of Shipment, Tier 1 will be the closest way to doing so. Make sure to hop on in to complete those tough camo challenges that are made easier in Tier 1!
If Tier 1 is not your style but you still want to play on this map, The Naughty List playlist in MW2 features a special festive version!
How To Play Tier 1 Shipment in MW2
To play Tier 1 Shipment jump into the playlist of the same name “Tier 1 Shipment“. The location of this playlist is on the MW2 Multiplayer main menu.
In the Featured section when selecting your playlist, scroll across and you will find this version of 24/7 Shipment.
Alternatively, you can head into the regular Tier 1 playlist. Although it is not a guarantee to get this map in every game, unlike the new 24/7 option.
If you are heading into this map to grind towards Orion camo, here are tips for completing a couple of these challenges:
- Point Blank Kills
- Kills From Behind
- Longshots (Pistols & Shotguns only)
Also, new theories of the presence of skill-based damage in MW2 have been popping up. However, it seems there is now proof of whether or not it is in the FPS game!
