Awesome guide! I always failed in the first few rounds, and now I know how to handle with that! Now I also know how to run a good train, since I always ran around the other way (clockwise, and this is counter-clockwise) which must explain why I get stuck often! I only would use a different setup: 1-25: M&S Scavenger Ak74u I would use the same of killing George as yours. But at round 25/30 I would swap the scavenger for a vr-11 and use that if I would get in trouble with George. At every round George is back I would swap the AK for the scavenger and kill him. Then swap it back and at round 30+ PAP it right away. And just start the next round with a PAPed AK74u. At round 35/40+ I would swap the M&S for the Awful Lawton. So I would end up with: Awful Lawton Vr-11 lazerus Ak74fu / Scavenger. + Way more points Safer Easier No need to use the box during rounds No angry George - More time consuming More points wasting at the box What do you guys think of this?

Wtf, what is up with the glitches nowadays??? Since moon is out I hear so many glitches.... :(

Something like this, I revived this guy and he surprised me by shooting a crossbow inside lighthouse after a long gap and escaped through zipline for jugs, like Chopper said you can't do much when 15+ zombies appear out of no where when you already are running a train. In this game I played, I noticed that guy loves to shoot crossbow a little too much D7kyM5d4IcY way~ Wow! That was sucky!

Sorry man, the guide was so long I made an assumption that people would already know the map but struggle with tactics. The guide is actually aimed for 2 players, with some real minor 4 player stuff thrown in. DOA =Dead on Arrival - when you haven't been able to revive someone. OHK = One Hit Kill Clutching = completing a round, generally high level when you are the only player left. For the start you need to stay where you spawn. When I get home later I will grab a copy of the map from an overhead perspective and add what I mean by stairs and ledge's etc. I had hoped it would be clear on it's own, I suppose some people who really know the map will understand but I'll change it for everyone else Alright thanks Could be because I'm on school for 7,15 hours now and I need another 45 minutes. And I do ICT, so all I do is sitting behind a PC So yes, I have a bit of a headache, I'm thirsty and I'm tired So I can't think well now and imagine where those stairs are. I should defintly read a few guides from here in the weekend. And I should go to bed earlier. Bad boy Chris!

Good guide! A few things: What is DOA, OHK and clutching? Where do I need to stay in the first rounds with 2 players? You only talk about 4 players and I don't understand where the stairs, the ledge, etc you mention are. The rest is really good, the revive, george, Vr-11, and maybe more is really good! I learned a lot today! Thank you!

268 times?? I don't even think the worst zombie in the whole world will die 268 times before round 10.

Welcome by my ‘how to get the Space Race trophie/achievement in solo ’guide. This is a trophie/achievement for the DLC 1 map Ascension. It requires you to pack-a-punch BEFORE round 8. Now to stop talking about things we already know, lets go start the guide. You can find general tips at the bottom of this post or halfway. All you need here is a lot of points, so I will give a lot of tips on that! Round 1: The way of killing zombies is up you. Shoot 6 and knife or knife them straight away. If you want to use more ammo in round 2 use the second way, if not use the first way. Don’t buy quickrevive! You need those 500 points! From now on try to repair as many window boards as you can! You need those points! If you want, you can even make a crawler at round 4 (before round 4 a crawler is really hard to make) and repair all window boards for maximum points. Round 2: You could let a zombie out of the window board to hopefully get a max ammo, since you will be shooting 8 times per zombie here and knife them or knife them twice. Your ammo will run out during this round. Round 3-4 If you get a max ammo, stay here as long as you can, if you don’t open the UPPER door. Why the upper door? For two reason, this way to PAP is 1 door less and so cheaper. And it’s an easier way. If you would open the lower door, you would have to open one more door, the one up from juggernog, and you want to buy juggernog! Buy the mp5k and stay at the bottom of the PHD flopper area and camp there for 1-2 rounds, till you get overunned. Why? You can easy buy ammo there. If you happen to get a max ammo, try to use up as much ammo as you can, to save up points. Always try to lineup the zombies, since bullet penertration = more points = less ammo using = save up more points! The same is for your pistol, those 88 bullets are points you will always need! Try lining up the zombies and use up your pistol ammo! Round 5-6: Now head over to the PhD Flopper area and run rapetrains there. Lining up and pistol ammo is still important! During rounds 3-6 you can open a few doors already. At the end of round 6 leave a crawler and go open up all the doors and go with all the lunar landers, you should be able to do that with your points! And then launch the rocket. Remember to knife the crawler(s) for more points. Round 7: Same area, same trains, same important things. But leave a crawler at the end of the round, a go pap your weapon! Your pistol or your mp5k, whatever you want! If you don’t have enough points (which you mostly will) repair all the window boards. If you have more than 1 crawler kill them, but don’t take any risks on the last crawler! General tips: Always lineup the zombies for maximum points and use up all your pistol ammo when you get a max ammo. DON’T buy any perks! Also don’t use the random box! You need those points! And surviving 7 rounds isn’t that hard. If you get a instakill, knife the zombies! 140 points! When the round is over and the last or one of them last zombies dropped a insta-kill or double points, wait till it is almost gone (it will flash rapidly) and take it so you will make the most profit from it during the round! A double points on 2 zombies is useless. If you get a nuke DON’T take it UNLESS: The round is over, you need those 400 points! Or there is 1 or 2 zombies left and it is flashing, you will still make profit. If you turn on the power at round 6 or 7 you will not get a monkey round before round 8 or 9, so don’t worry about that! I’m not sure if you get more points with headshots, I think you do. But when I run a rapetrain I will miss half of my bullets when aiming for the head, so try making headset till around 4 or 5. You can also shoot a few times in the chest and hit the last bullet(s) in the head. Might be more points, not sure about that. Good luck with getting the trophie/achievement! With this guide it should be a lot easier, and without any friends it’s still pretty easy. Of course co-op is easier, but now you know it is possible in solo, since I did it to. Good luck and I’m looking forward for some feedback! Chris

Absoluty true. But the PC is still better and will always be. So to answer your question: No, you should get a PC.

I have the same problems lol I'm getting so nervous when playing NML. My heart is bouncing like it never did before. Even when I play a map which I usually suck at and trying to get high with a new strategy. I mean mostly COTD with that, since I'm still a noob there and I die because I'm nervous. But I keep practising!

Didn't know that my channel was unavailable, I'll have to change my settings... The vid's not in HD cuz I used Windows Movie Maker I'm just a casual uploader and putting the clips together and outputting it in a smaller file size makes the output and uploading a lot quicker, can take quite a while to upload a 10GB HD video as you'd imagine. Definately, I always have it in my arsenal when playing this map Yeah true, I have never seen a big difference between 360p and 720p HD in Zombies mode. Unless you use Dazzle lol. The graphics of zombies aren't the best at all, so 720p HD doesn't makes it better or so. MP is different, 360p is damn ugly there. Good thing I don't play MP.

Looks nice But I have the most trouble with the starting rounds, where to stay, where to go, which door open first and stuff. I hope you could give a me a little walktrough for that (a real walktrough, haha you know what I mean ) But when do you actually swap your M&S? It is your first weapon, so do you swap it for scavenger? And the 74u for vr11 and then the ak as third weapon? Or not?

Ah that is nice But about which rounds are you talking about? When u start using the vr-11 and scavenger? And I asume you use mule kick? I can't wait for your strategy! :D

Wow nice But what about ammo?

Which program did you use to make this video? It's not in HD :(

Round 55 with shotguns only is pretty good But why is your channel not in use?

I had a nuke from the first zombie in the whole game. Yes, in COTD. How does that explain the 2000 points? And no it wasn't electrified.

I believe I saw a place of the singeplayer mission in Ascension. From the luna lander. If I remember it right, is that big crater thing where you walk next to when you rescued Weaver.

Me neither. ??

Sorry bro, but your Dad is being a bit excessive. I mean, I understand your Dad getting upset about leaving it on, just the same as if you leave lights on in the house that you are not using. That's just what Dad's do. It's part of being Dad. But in reality, the electricity you wasted while leaving your xbox unattended probably didn't even amount to a dollar more on your family's electricity bill. Whatever the amount was, it's certainly not worth 5 months of being grounded over. We're talking pocket change here. Show your Dad that your console has an energy saving feature, just like computers do. Does he get mad at you if the screen saver of your computer is on for the same amount of time? Because it reality, it's about the same thing. Damn you'r good. I agree.

I agree with your first 2 sentences. I now like the challenge of the map. No traps, no 1 hit kill wonder weapons. It's fun to kill george with the scavenger or V-r11 and kill the zombies with the ak74fu2. It just takes a long time and you get so many points.

Guys, this topic and this forum maked me liking COTD. I'm going to get a high solo round in this map :)

Totally agree. You should be a detective, serious The part of the trap is a very good argument. How can I give you brains?? :D

Why didn't your warned you dad? It does suck of course. He never comes into my room lmao. But oh well. Round 40 isn't that bad, I could get that done again easy. That is true. Roun 40 is pretty easy, unless you don't get thunder gun of the box I saw Syndicates round 100 in kino videos, and he seems to swap the thunder gun everytime. Does he do when he is out of ammo? I saw he had almost 19k kills. I would use the traps mostly and thunder for ammo, but how does he do that, do you have any idea?

Why didn't your warned you dad? It does suck of course.

Thank god they patched that stupid glitch.
