Before Battlefield 6 even officially launched, a dedicated creator recreated Call of Duty’s legendary Shipment map using the game’s powerful Portal editor. Creator Matavatar stunned the gaming community by releasing this iconic 2007 map remake, proving Portal’s capability to bring rival franchise content into the Battlefield universe.
Shipment Recreation: Key Details & Portal Features
Portal tools became available a day before Battlefield 6’s release, allowing creators immediate access to the advanced map-building toolkit. Here’s what makes this recreation remarkable:
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Creator | Matavatar (also DANNYonPC) |
| Map Recreated | Shipment (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare) |
| Platform | Battlefield Portal editor |
| Availability | Day one, before official launch |
| Map Location | Suspended in Operation Firestorm skybox |
| Original Release | Call of Duty 4 (2007) |
Why This Matters for Battlefield 6
Portal hands players a powerful toolkit for building their own worlds, and the Shipment recreation demonstrates just how capable these tools are. The map itself is suspended in the air somewhere in the skybox of Operation Firestorm due to how Portal currently works, giving early Portal creations a unique floating aesthetic.
Players who tested the map confirmed that Matavatar “pretty much nailed it,” capturing the chaotic, close-quarters combat that made Shipment a fan-favorite. The small, symmetrical layout with shipping containers creates the same frantic action that Call of Duty players remember.
This recreation represents more than just nostalgia—it showcases Portal’s ability to blur the lines between competing franchises. Players are already requesting other iconic Call of Duty maps like Rust, Nuketown, and Highrise, suggesting a wave of cross-franchise content could flood Portal servers.
The community response has been overwhelmingly positive, with the upcoming Call of Duty title finally facing tough competition after Activision played it safe for years. Battlefield 6’s Portal mode positions EA DICE’s shooter as a platform for unlimited creativity rather than just another military shooter.
