One player of Epic Games’Fortnitehas used the free-to-play shooter’s Creative Mode feature to pay homage toCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, assembling an impressive recreation of that game’s iconic Shipment map in first-person. While official crossovers with other properties have become part of the battle royale title’s DNA at this point, such as the recently-releasedFortniteandDragon Ballcrossover, this fan-made mash-up may just be one of the most exciting ones yet.
Making its debut in late 2018,Fortnite’s Creative Mode lets players design private game worlds that can then be shared with others. Featuring a robust toolset that lets players choose from a wide variety of structures and items that can be placed throughout the map, Creative Mode has allowedFortniteplayers to design all manner of impressive custom maps and unique mini-games. If the recent rumors of afirst-person mode coming toFortniteend up being correct, it seems likely that Creative Mode could soon see a flood of new maps taking advantage of the long-requested change in perspective.

In a series of screenshots posted to the r/ModernWarfareII subreddit, user Avesta49 shared their take onCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s Shipment mapas reimagined inFortniteCreative Mode. Taken from a first-person perspective, the screenshots show an impressive level of detail in the fan-made world, with cargo containers stacked high on the deck of a storm-ravaged ship forming a series of dangerous choke points instantly familiar toModern Warfare 2players. DespiteFortnite’s typically colorful and cartoonish color palate, the recreation of the iconic map features more muted tones that perfectly emulate the dark, damp look of the original level.
Fans of both franchises were impressed by the mashup of the two popular shooters, with one Redditor stating that the screenshots were tempting them to reinstallFortniteagain. Seeking to help players who wanted to try outFortnite’s first-person mode even though it has yet to be officially implemented in battle royale, another comment noted that turning on the first-person camera in Save The World mode and then switching to Battle Royale will enable the still-glitchy perspective switch. Clearly loving seeing two of the biggest games on the market combined in such an impressive manner, one commenter definitively stated that “First person/No Build Fortnite will be game changing.”
This creative blend of two of the most popular online shooters is sure to delight fans of both games, and serves as a tantalizing glimpse of the sorts of experiences players could be in store for if Epic Games adds official support for first-person mode inFortnite. And unlike the utterly terrifyingJunji ItoFortniteCreative Mode content, this map won’t leave gamers sleeping with the lights on.
