Ascension
The Best CoD Zombies Maps of All Time
For a long time, Ascension was the absolute best CoD Zombies map (and it’s still considered that by many today). Being set on an abandoned USSR rocket testing facility, players will fend off waves of zombies around this facility, and find loads of cool little add-ons along the way. This map is amazing for many because it was the first to introduce a massive map-spanning easter egg, telling a mini-story within the map and adding to the wider lore of the Zombies mode.
Ascension also introduced a few new unlockables, which many consider to be classics – PhD flopper (which sadly was replaced in the Black Ops III version) was a favourite perk of many thanks to its ability to eliminate self-damage and cause explosions when you dive. The Gersch Device is a grenade-type weapon unlocked from the mystery box. When activated, a black hole opens, sucking all of the enemies into it for a time. There’s loads more for you to discover in this map, so give it a shot when you can!
