Modern Warfare 4 players looking for fast, close-range matches now have a new featured option: SHRANSIT. The playlist combines three compact maps into one rotation, with a Hardcore version available for players who want even less room for error. The refresh also expands the selection of dedicated Season 1 playlists, though it comes as Shipment 24/7 appears to have left the featured menu.
What changed in the Modern Warfare 4 playlist update
Infinity Ward has refreshed Modern Warfare 4's featured multiplayer playlists following the arrival of Season 1. The headline addition is SHRANSIT, a rotation built around Shipment, Shoot House, and Transit 213. All three maps favor close-quarters engagements, making the mode suited to players who want constant action instead of slower, more methodical matches. A separate Hardcore SHRANSIT playlist is also live, raising the stakes for players who prefer a more punishing ruleset.
Who will benefit from the new playlists
SHRANSIT is likely to appeal most to players chasing frequent fights, quick respawns, and concentrated objective battles. It also gives players a direct route into Shipment, although not exclusively. Shipment had previously been highlighted through its own Shipment 24/7 playlist after joining the game on October 27. That dedicated queue now appears to be absent from the featured playlist section, and some community reactions indicate that players would rather see it return than access Shipment through a mixed rotation.
What to play now and what is coming later
The playlist update is broader than SHRANSIT alone. Kill Block 24/7, Season 1 Moshpit, Kill Block 6v6 Gunfight, and Possession each now have dedicated entries in the main multiplayer menu. Players who do not want to commit to a featured queue can still use the Quick Play filter to choose individual modes. More multiplayer modes are expected with the mid-season update in the coming months. Infinity Ward has confirmed one of them, Counter Attack, where teams attack an enemy comm station while defending their own.
What players should know
- SHRANSIT rotates between Shipment, Shoot House, and Transit 213.
- Hardcore SHRANSIT is available for players seeking a harsher version of the same map rotation.
- Shipment 24/7 appears to have been removed from the featured playlist area.
- Dedicated playlists are now available for Kill Block 24/7, Season 1 Moshpit, Kill Block 6v6 Gunfight, and Possession.
- Quick Play remains the best option for selecting specific individual modes.
Expert View
This is a useful refresh for players who value variety without manually tuning every Quick Play setting. SHRANSIT should deliver the frantic close-range experience its map lineup suggests, while Hardcore gives the rotation a distinct second audience. Still, removing the dedicated Shipment 24/7 queue may frustrate players who want guaranteed access to that map rather than a broader rotation.
