Ascension Was Treyarchs Most AMBITIOUS Map Yet

Ascension was Black Ops 1’s first Zombies DLC map. Set inside a Soviet cosmodrome, Ascension took the Zombies formula and packed it with more ideas than ever before, from new perks and enemies to lunar landers, new equipment and one of the mode’s most ambitious Easter Eggs yet. But was Ascension simply too much for Zombies to handle? We’ll take a look at Ascension’s development, atmosphere, gameplay, story, Easter Egg and everything that made this map such an important step in the evolution of Call of Duty Zombies.
