"Shipment" Free-for-alls

[CptainCrunch]

Oh yea, there is no doubt that the map was entirely designed to run and gun and nade and spam and die.

There are no real strategies involved with the map and no great cover or buildings. Its just a frag fest map.

I like to think of it as "intermission". The map is more fun when its not just a TDM but some type of goal in place or FFA.

Shipment is a complete gore fest. I absolutely hated it when I first started playing multiplayer, SO infuriating to spawn in and before you take your first step, you're dead from a rain of grenades or one of about a billion random bullets flying around in the match...

But I've found it's a great map for 1v1 fights. The action is always present, without the grinding feeling of hopelessness when it's standing-room-only and every guy on the map is tossing eggs and spraying bullets around.

One thing I love to do, and I always get a "H@x0rz" response is use a weapon with deep impact and shoot through the back of the shipment crates killing the people hiding in there. They see the killcam and just see me walking up and shooting through

Maybe its a bad thing. One day I may be demod and me doing that they will go "Yep, wall hack."

But man, its still funny.

I used to hate Shipment when I started playing. Now I like when it comes up in the rotation. It's a nice way to blow off steam and relax. We played S&D on it one night, which was surprisingly good. I couldn't play it more then once a night, but it's not as bad as I first made it out to be.

FFA or TDM seems to be the best way to play it. We tried HQ and that was always like a 45-15 score or something low and time would run out. Tried Domination too and that was too much like TDM because of the map size.

As far as "cheating" goes. This isn't BF2. We don't have the EA Stat Nazi's running around telling you how you can and can't play the game (thank you Jeebus!) Do what's fun, it's a game, that's what it's their for.

I've played SD on Shipment before. It was the weirdest thing ever.

Try Sabotage, where everybody runs for the middle to grab the bomb, only to die by grenade seconds later. :p

Two nights ago, I played Shipment with the Mayhem mod (think that's what it's called...where everything is in turbo mode?). That is MAD fun. There were only 4 or 5 of us in there and it was a total blast. =-]

I despise the map with more than 8 people, and I've had friends use it to pad their ranks...

But it is fun when you have friends who challenge you to a 1v1 or 2v2.

I don't like the map either. In fact it shouldn't be even considered a "map" since it's just a square with some containers in the middle.

Come on, Tanja, don't be such a wet towel. Shipment is fun in small doses.

I groan when I'm in a server with 40 players - and Shipment comes up on the rotation.

If it's anything but Team Death Match when Shipment comes up on a server with 40 players, I cry.

That's pretty much what it's for. It can be fun though if the games are short.

That's when you take a bathroom break and/or grab a snack. It's usually over in less than 5 mins. :)

My pride is all I have, so sitting out a round is never an option. :salute:

Shipment FFA with more than 4 people on the map is stupid. It's beyond stupid. In some cases it's a camp fest. A couple of guys spawn first, then cover the spawn points killing.

It's better if you pistol only it.

But I generally take it as God's sign I should stop playing for a while.

I cant stand it i played it once for about 5 mins and then got off, it was terrible.
