  As with previous offerings, the key to survival is working out when it’s worth a run on the traps, supply points, and upgrade stations and when to stick to the areas that are easiest to defend. ...With its grappling playlists, Ascendance reminds us that the best expansions are those that expand your horizons—jolting you out of old habits. While no gigantic leap forward, it’s a cut above the throng of map packs and worth a shot if the game’s fundamentals are losing your interest.

  Ascendance is a good DLC pack for Advanced Warfare, and hopefully we’ll see more of this going forward. The competitive maps are fun and varied, and the grappling playlist is an entirely new way to play the game. Exo Zombies got the shot in the arm that it needed, feeling less sterile and more fun. With two packs to go for Advanced Warfare, we’ll see what Sledgehammer has up their sleeves for the second half.
