See, this is pretty much the reason why the zombies story is irritating. Nothing is ever established.

Ascension takes place concurrently with "Five", so it would have to take place in the early 1960s as JFK was assassinated in 1963, unless Treyarch established their own real world canon. After Ascension, the characters are somehow taken to 2011 when they interact with the celebrities. Time travel is entirely possible in this universe, they've mentioned it semi-regularly. After being helped, the crew are teleported to Shangri-La, then somehow the get to the Moon. Then somehow there are mobsters trapped in the Alcatraz loop, which somehow fits in with the story. ARGH.

Seriously Treyarch, what the hell is going on with the story. EXPLAIN IT IN THE NEXT MAP. PLEASE.
