 * Not even an official video, so those probably won't appear as maps. 22:23, January 16, 2011 (UTC)

Or Is There More?
at the end of the game and of the film alex says Ascension so it leads people to believe that its in dallas texas where kennedy was killed or its vorkuta since reznov said ascend from the darkness which sounds like zombie quote also it is possible that they are adding a new character for two reasons one in kino der toten there is a wall with pictures on them of dempsey nikolai takeo and rictophen also a blank face but rictophens picture is not on the same wall as the rest his is separate and bigger than the rests. reason 2:when you go to the pack a punch machine dempsey will grumble" ahh i wish we could replace rictophen with a hot chick.even though i doubt they will replace him with a girl i do think that they will either replace him or takeo most likely takeo because he is everyone's least favorite character he is also thew least funniest because he never talks i doubt this but i do bet that they will have someone from the campaign in it like mason,woods,weaver,bowman,hudson or even kennedy i highly doubt it though.wontbackdown 02:05, December 21, 2010 (UTC)

I believe that the map is set some where around Area 51 as in the trailer for map pack First Strike, it mechend Blue lake Nevada). So I believe it is possible to be set in Area 51-A or Area 13 (A toxic waste dump near Area 51)

Where's the trailer? Conqueror of all Zombies 21:48, December 23, 2010 (UTC)

yah 21:53, December 23, 2010 (UTC)

it was on youtube but I can't find it again but I know it was on GKNOVA6' youtube page (although it it just said 1st DLC pack not First Strike map pack)1-10 19:34, December 24, 2010 (UTC)

I have a nagging feeling that this map is going to be based around the Soviet Cosmonaut program, perhaps being an adaption of Executive Order. Though how Treyarch would incorporate a Soyuz into the map is anyone's guess. Also check out the GKNOVA6 site now. It eventually runs a loop similar to that that in the Zombies menu, with scenes from Executive Order in it - Ascencion scientists running from soldiers in the corridors are the easiest to pick out. 24.247.94.42 06:02, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Just cause people don't like Takeo doesn't mean they could just get rid of him. How the hell would they kill him off anyway? "Oh, Takeo just died, but then we randomly found Charlene, who just happened to have survived Element 115."  Cpt. Dragunov  06:33, January 9, 2011 (UTC)

It might also take place around Ascension Island in the middle of the ocean between the Americas and Africa. (T.Blazingchamion)

DANG IT!
since all maps that have the ww2 characters have german names it can only be assumed that this features the political characters who doesn't want the political characters 21:51, December 23, 2010 (UTC)

If you remember...Shi No Numa isn't German. Conqueror of all Zombies 21:56, December 23, 2010 (UTC)

yah it is shi no numa is german for swamp of death 19:25, December 24, 2010 (UTC)

I said this before you know. That its the political group because the title isn't in a different language but its not to much of something to go by. Sniperteam 82308 22:16, December 23, 2010 (UTC)

So? "Five" is in a different language for Russians, French, Polish, or any non-english speaking countries that have CoD games sold there. For all we know, Ascension could have a Zombie, a Juggernaut, an Alien and a Goat with human hands as playable characters. Conqueror of all Zombies 22:40, December 23, 2010 (UTC)

that would be awesome 19:25, December 24, 2010 (UTC)

I was being sarcastic...but it would be awesome! And Shi No Numa is Japanese. Conqueror of all Zombies 02:59, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

Shi No Numa is Japanese for Swamp Of Death.1-10 19:35, December 24, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah special ops you need to get things right oh but anyone thinking of a large tower for a zombie map.Sgt Sprinkles 17:43, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

Five is also not German. It is only American (and Cuban counting Fidel Castro)

Ascencion location
I think that this map will be in América cuz all other maps are by the place they are (der riese in germany,shi no numa japan). What you guys think?

I'm almost positive that it will be the base in Executive Order. In GKNOVA6, it showed men in gas masks and scientists, both of which would make sense in that facility and I saw NPC looking exactly like that. Also in GKNOVA6, it showed a hallway with an AUG on the wall that looks almost identical to one found in Executive Order. In addition to the above, the group of scientists who worked there were actually called the "Ascencion Group" after all. So this makes it in Baikonur, Kazakh SSR, USSR. --

Manhattan?
Anyone think the map might take place in Manhattan? What with one of the loading messages saying "Manhattan DOWN" and in the back room of Kino der Toten, doesn't it say "hattan" on the shelf with the meteor? Maybe foreshadowing things to come? Who knows.--With care and happiness, Super Mutant Slayer 450' YOU. LOSE. 20:56, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

Why would it be in Manhattan? it would not fit in the storyline(or would it?).1-10 14:46, December 30, 2010 (UTC)

That's probably a reference to the Manhattan project, a nuclear project performed by Nazi scientists hired by the Americans... like the Ascension scientists, just with America... oh my god it's definitely either Baikonur or Area 5-1. 09:33, January 5, 2011 (UTC)

Weapons Found in GKNOVA6
AK-47, HK-21, AUG (or FAMAS) on the wall, and M60Zee DoktorZee Doktor

Moon?
maybe you play as the 3 astronauts of the 1st moon landing, and you are in the rocket on the moon, the zombies are seen coming out of craters where meteors full of 115 have hit, but the spaceship is on it's side due to a crash caused by a couple of zombies. and in one of your vids you said the darkness represents the zombie infested earth, well they ascend from the earth only to go to more darkness (the zombie-infested moon) if anyone would like to expand on this feel free :D TheManUtdFan 22:01, December 30, 2010 (UTC)

That sounds...stupid. No offence. But there would be no traps, rooms or weapons. Conqueror of all Zombies 22:04, December 30, 2010 (UTC)

Locations, locations.
I am the only one that thinks that Nam would be an awesome zombie map??.-Diegox223 16:43, January 1, 2011 (UTC)

That would just be a repeat of Sho Ni Numa. 00:38, January 12, 2011 (UTC)

Location
Given the name this is unlikely but if you look in \localized_English_iw04\english\sound\vox\scripted in the game files there is a folder names "zombie_cosmodrone" Inside it there is one wav file named "vox_rus_pa" which cannot be played. I think it has something to do with the header but the fan made tool I found to get around this does not work on any speech files.

Rusalka
Does anyone else think that the Rusalka as a zombie map would kick ass? 09:36, January 5, 2011 (UTC)

Why has the video been removed it hold the most valuable peice of information to be found so far!

Revert the changes asap!

Speculation
Taking into account the name of the map and the clues pointing to a cosmonaut ape, I'm guessing it's going to take place at the Soyuz rocket launch center from the Campaign. The identity of the player characters remains to be seen, but I think it's going to be the characters from the Single Player Campaign (Mason, Woods, Bowman, Hudson or Weaver. Maybe Reznov?).Ldude893 06:58, January 6, 2011 (UTC)

Dude, i've told my budy that reznov would be an awesomne playable character but if was going to be somone from the campaign it would have to be mason or weaver because woods and bowman died and there frame/build is to small to fit the silouhett on the picture. Same with reznov and hudson. Weaver could fit it and so could mason.

Hudson is still alive, along with Mason and Weaver.

Woods isn't dead, on one of the terminal intels it's revealed that he is at Hanoi Hamilton.

you talking to me punk
why did my 2 hints about it being based off executive order got removed? - littleNemo


 * Because it was just pure speculation and nothing has been proven yet. --Tbsoldier sig.pngSoldier 02:24, January 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * with all due respect they were good hints my friend showed them to me and i thought 100% that it was going to be based of executive order and

The newest update on displays a Vitruvian Man-looking drawing with a monkey-like being, hinting a new zombie type, or possibly the to appear in Ascension. is also like a speculation speculating a new zombie type and the refrences are also speculations - littleNemo

Connecting Theories
Alright, I think I have figured this thing out.

On Cosmic Silverback's uniform, there is a Rocket with CCCP written on it. The same applies for Soyuz 2.

Many theories have indicated a fight at Baikonur Cosmodrome.

The latest GKNOVA6 update displayed the Vitruvian man, sparking discussion of the Cosmic Silverback's appearance in this level.

Now connect them. Perhaps Cosmic Silverback was sent into space as a chimp, then came back transformed by element 115. He could have been sent in on Soyuz 2, and now our characters have suddenly gotten there (don't know how). Cosmic Silverback could replace hellhounds, but I don't know how. Does this make any sense to anyone else? 20:40, January 9, 2011 (UTC)

In Array, the word CCCP can be seen branded on things. A Lonely Nomad 20:53, January 9, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, CCCP is Russian for USSR, I'm just saying a rocket with CCCP written on it implies a Soviet rocket, or maybe Soyuz 2. 06:46, January 10, 2011 (UTC)

Location for Ascension confirmed
It is a soviet launch facility.

Accidental Double Post

Who keeps removing the location? this has happened like 5 times now.Mamemamo1 17:23, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

That isn't offical. That's why. Conqueror of all Zombies 20:21, January 16, 2011 (UTC)

Silverbacks?
"Cosmic Silverback(s) are set to replace the dogs and the Pentagon Thief."

Any conformation?

I'll take it off, it is speculation. 03:58, January 15, 2011 (UTC)

"Ascension" Numbers
I just happened upon a wierd little...easter egg?...in the loading screen. Occaisonally, seemingly at random, a short cutscene similar to the one at the end of the campaign will play. It started happening not long after First Strike was announced. It's a live-action cutscene where a woman recites "Ascension, [string of numbers]" into a radio transmitter. Has anyone else seen this, and could it bear signifigance to the new map? Mad Mike 04:56, January 15, 2011 (UTC)

That happens when it takes too long for it to load your save file, so it plays a video. You can skip it once it finishes loading. It's been there forever, but I believe that it'll have SOMETHING to do with the map. I'm starting to think that Mason is going to become a zombies character... :P KlawwTheClown 19:24, January 15, 2011 (UTC)

It may not be Mason and the Black Ops team, but I would expect to see some new people. Primarily because GKNOVA and Zombies main menu both show parts of what seems similar to Baikonour launch facility, with scientists, but most importantly, it shows soldiers (bear with me). The soldiers were wearing gas masks, guards or security would not be supplied with these for patrol, even at the heart of the facility. This hints that the soldiers in GKNOVA were not there at the zombie outbreak, but appeared after, what with being fully outfitted for the situation. Most likely they are Special Ops sent in to find out why the facility went dark or to help contain the outbreak, whether Russian or American is debatable. Alpha-125 21:02, January 15, 2011 (UTC)

A bit off topic
Anyone think that the Engineer might appear in this map? It would kinda be cool to see a new zombie type. He would be a bit taller than normal zombies, More health, but a bit slower. Also, with the picture with the engineer in it, There seems to be a deleted map sorta like nuketown with electric poles from Dead Ops Arcade. Also about the Cosmic Silverback, It would be cool to seem him appear. He would punch players sending them flying back, He would steal 500-1000 points from players, Can be killed and has a bit more health than the theif, but stays longer. Killing him rewards the player(s) with 1250 points if they havnt been hit by him and players hit by him gets their points back. Lasmoore 23:06, January 16, 2011 (UTC)

I was thinking this. There may be, instead of Hellhounds/weapon thief round, a round of cumbersome until shot juggernaut zombies. It would make sense, seeing as Ascnesion is a launch facility and there would be lots of workers around when the outbreak began. A Lonely Nomad 22:18, January 16, 2011 (UTC)

Seems cool, Or just a new juggernaut zombie seems cool. It has more health, you must knock off its armor to get to the center and kill it. But, it is alot slower than normal zombies. Lasmoore 23:06, January 16, 2011 (UTC)

Nazi science labs?
Well since ascension was a group of nazi scientest the map might possibaly be se in germany or poland. Also if you watch the trailor closely you can see the moon from der reise. It is also noted that the zombies at the end of the trailor are the same graphics of those from the origanal zombie maps.

"It is confirmed to take place in a Soviet launch facility."
I couldn't help but notice this entry in the Ascension page. When and who confirmed this? o_O

Dave55811 18:16, January 17, 2011 (UTC)

I think that Treyarch confirmed it somewhere. Conqueror of all Zombies 18:22, January 17, 2011 (UTC)

Confirmation. Confirmation everywhere.
Every thing posted here has been said before in a leak on YouTube a while back. This could make the leak very true as Black hole bombs and russian dolls were mentioned, but what might be interesting is that the leak mentioned a 'Sickle' instead of a bowie knife, the first room being a room in which increased gravity is tested on astronaughts before they go into space and a round which replaces the dogs and features large groups of small monkeys attacking the player.

aaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwww yeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahMamemamo1 21:11, January 17, 2011 (UTC)

OK guy, o to round this up... it does take place in the campaign level with the rocket in it. its basically an alternate universe. YOU PLAY AS MASON, BOWMAN, WOODS, and the other guy u get help from in campaign. There are 2 new perks, but can some1 explain 2 me the PhD Flopper perk and the 3 new weapons? what are they? you plant the bomb in the rocket but then discover the scientists are infected, etc, etc.

No,. It has already been confirmed that you play as the original 4. did you even click the link?Mamemamo1 21:37, January 17, 2011 (UTC)
