Call of Duty’s Most Iconic Map Is Now Playable in Battlefield 6 — Here’s How to Jump In
Battlefield 6 lands October 10 with explosive multiplayer, but it’s Battlefield Portal stealing the show, giving players free rein to unleash their own brand of chaos.
Battlefield 6 just landed on October 10, and while the campaign reaction is mixed, the multiplayer heat is very real. The surprise MVP, though, is not a mode or a map. It is Battlefield Portal, and it immediately stole the show.
Portal is the real launch-day flex
Portal is DICE handing you the keys to the toybox. It is a build-and-tweak lab where you can remix rules, mash up assets, and even recreate maps you do not own in this franchise. Within 24 hours of launch, the community did exactly what everyone was thinking and rebuilt Call of Duty's Shipment. Yes, Shipment. In Battlefield. On day one. It looks sharp, it plays fast, and it is exactly the kind of playful chaos Portal was built for.
Shipment in Battlefield: how it actually plays
The fan-made version nails the core vibe: tight sightlines, container stacks, and those brutal short-range lanes that turn every spawn into a risk. There is a minor hitch with enemy spawns occasionally feeling a little janky, but the overall experience delivers exactly the high-adrenaline, no-breathing-room loops you remember. If you want to live there, there is even a Shipment 24x7 playlist that just feeds you non-stop skirmishes, COD-style.
How to jump in
- Open the Community menu from the main menu.
- Select Search Experiences.
- Type 'Shipment' in the search bar.
- Pick the version you want and hit play.
Why COD fans might start peeking over the fence
Day-one community builds like Shipment are a statement. Activision has Black Ops 7 coming, but if they do not get a tighter grip on cheaters and lobbies that feel lopsided, people are going to keep trying alternatives that give them more control. Portal does exactly that: you can adjust balance, set the rules, control spawns, and build from scratch if you want. It feels like two games for the price of one, and probably without ballooning your install folder in the process.
The point is not just nostalgia. It is freedom. You get the greatest hits when you want them, minus the usual headaches, and the option to make something brand new when you are bored of the hits.
If you are here for Battlefield's mayhem, Portal is where it shines brightest. If you are here for the COD-style grind, Portal can do that too. Your move, Activision.
