Battlefield 6 launched mere hours ago, and someone has already managed to recreate the iconic Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare map, Shipment, in its Portal mode.
After years of waiting, leaks, and hype, EA and Battlefield Studios launched Battlefield 6 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S today, October 10. Its promise of a back-to-basics approach for the series has attracted a lot of attention, especially in the Call of Duty community.
Battlefield 6 players can hop into the community tab on the main menu and play on the close-quarters map for themselves right now by simply searching “Shipment” in the Search Experiences or Browse Servers tab. It’s chaotic, noisy, cramped, and constantly riddled with bullets or, in other words, exactly the same as it is in Call of Duty. There are even some Shipment 24/7 servers already live for those looking to dive headfirst into the action.
The most popular result already features more than one hundred likes and sends their thanks to X/Twitter user PR officer at Deep Worlds, Matavatar, who is responsible for bringing Shipment in Battlefield 6 to life. They began posting their progress just yesterday, teasing work on a recreation of another Call of Duty map, Killhouse, as well as a map that could feature a Star Wars Star Destroyer.
With Black Ops 7 a little more than one month out from its November 14 release date, Call of Duty and Battlefield are scrapping to win over the hearts and minds of shooter fans. Now, the Battlefield 6 Portal mode is already seeing fans use their creativity to bridge the gap between the two.

Portal is a Halo 3 Forge-like game mode introduced in Battlefield 2042 that allows players to build their own maps and modes. It’s mostly been used to recreate and remix fan-favorite experiences from across Battlefield’s long history, but Battlefield 6 removes many of the restrictions, encouraging imaginative fans to even bring maps from other franchises. Classic Call of Duty map, Shipment, seems to be the first to make waves.
We’ll have to wait and see what other wacky fan-made maps will come to the Battlefield 6 Portal mode. Matavatar, at least, has already teased they’re interested in bringing more classic FPS maps – including Firing Range, Nuketown, Ziba Tower, Metro, and more – to Battlefield 6.
Battlefield 6 has been out for just a few hours and has already seen its queue system reach numbers up to more than 300,000 players, though it shouldn’t take more than a few minutes to actually start playing.
