Sure, all the attention might be on Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, but lets not forget last year's Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare still has downloadable content on the way.
Today, Ascendance, the second of four planned expansion packs for Advanced Warfare, goes live on PlayStation and PC. With it comes four new multiplayer maps, the formidable OHM weapon (a 2-in-1 directed energy light machine gun/shotgun), the OHM Werewolf custom variant, and Infection, the next entry in Exo Zombies.
The four maps are titled Perplex, Site 244, Climate, and Chop Shop. Here's their descriptions:
- Perplex: Get vertical in Sydney as you fight to dominate this five-story modular apartment complex. Take the high ground or blast through the close-quarters interior in this small to medium sized map. Adapt your strategy mid-match when construction drones shift apartment modules, creating new routes and cover positions.
- Site 244: A spacecraft has crash landed, spilling its mysterious cargo under the shadow of Mt. Rushmore, USA. This medium to large three-lane map allows for any style of gameplay, focusing combat through the space ship's fuselage and around the debris-littered landscape. Use the map-based scorestreak to crack open an alien spore and instantly enhance your perks and exo abilities.
- Climate: Fight your way through a futuristic man-made utopia in this lush, climate-controlled enclosure. In this small to medium sized circular map, land and water routes channel frenetic combat around the central island structure. Watch your step when the river water changes from an asset into a deadly bubbling obstacle.
- Chop Shop: Think fast as you make your way through the black market exoskeleton industrial complex and engage in fast-paced shootouts in this medium sized, symmetrical map. Activate the map-based scorestreak to take control of an Advanced Repulsion Turret that radiates a deadly microwave EMP to help lock down key areas.
If you're wondering why Ascendance is arriving a month after it released on Xbox, well, that's because Microsoft has a timed-exclusivity deal with Activision on Call of Duty DLC. Interestingly, no such deal has been announced with Call of Duty: Black Ops 3… yet.
