Revisiting Zombie Chronicles: Ascension

Game: Call of Duty Black Ops. Map: Ascension

In an article yesterday I read about a Playstation player who missed playing the original Zombie Chronicles maps once he retired his PS3. This lead me to realize how lucky we were to have backwards compatibility on the Xbox One. Compatibility that included the three Call of Duty games that included the Original zombie maps. While waiting for the Xbox release of Zombie Chronicles I decided this would be the ideal chance to revisit the original maps in their original forms. One player, one attempt... How bad could it be?

Number five: Ascension

Remember how I keep hoping that this will get better? Turns out this doesn't happen in Ascension although I thought it was going well. Still no double digits.

The stakeout! I think the happiest I have been replaying these classic zombie maps was when I found the stakeout on the wall and had enough money to buy one. My favourite shotgun from the zombie maps and I demonstrated it on as many zombies as I could find!

I managed to find the Tickle trunk and even get a LMG. I worked my way to the open area and was about to set up in the back room that we usually camped. I never managed to open the large door as the zombies coming out of the mud took me out. This was when I realized I had forgotten to buy Quick Revive.

Round 7. I had thought I was doing pretty well and I think I will settle for Round 7 considering how rusty I am turning out to be. Using the stakeout almost made all of this worth while.

Next stop, hopefully with another stakeout, Shangri-la...
