Ascension has been confirmed to be released in the first strike map pack DLC that comes out 2/1/11.Also there are new perks 1 my favorite,the run-and-gun perk.It allows the player to run and shoot with small weapons at the same time.The cosmic sliver back is first seen in doa (dead ops arcade)which is found by breaking free from the torture chair at when you start to go to campaign or multiplayer by pressing LT and RT once you break free you can walk freely around the room.Go behind you and you see an only computer sitting there go to it and press X.Type in DOA play that and die you will see it at the scores menu.near round 7 in Ascension it will appear and try to kill you.Amazingly i didnt expect it but ZOMBIE MONKEYS THAT STEAL YOUR PERKS!.you all may be wondering what they look like so just go type in Ascension zombie monkeys pic.my therory is that they were gonna drop a bomb on the ascension groups men but they were hit by something and they crashed on the island awaking with only M1911a.k.a colts and find some infected scientests cause the bomb was 115 stuff.Thats my therory on Ascension.
