Descent will bring an end to Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare’s futuristic Zombies saga when Descent launches within the Reckoning DLC pack later today (August 4) on Xbox platforms. This quickly turns the battle into one for survival, as you must escape the crumbling ground, while staying away from enemies. The visual design is once again top-notch, as it blends Middle-Eastern philosophy with high-tech gadgets and technologies. However, due to the already-hectic nature of the Call of Duty multiplayer experience in general, you might forget about the lamps and get surprised by the fatal explosions. It takes place on an island used for virus testing and its overall design is lackluster. Activate the map-based scorestreak to unleash a devastating ship-fired missile strike.

Zombie modes have been a common theme in some of the more recent “Call of Duty” games that have come out, starting with “Call of Duty: World at War“. With the new DLC content pack, “Reckoning” comes the final Exo Zombies episode, ‘Descent.’ Without spoiling too much of the story, it’s pretty clear that a certain star is coming back with a vengeance.
Swarm: Reconstruction is underway in Seoul, South Korea, congesting narrow corridors of this small to medium sized map with vehicles and equipment. Oz won’t be alone, however, with new “fused” zombies wreaking havoc across the high-tech water facility.
The Trident Reflected Energy Weapon kills enemies by sending a beam of energy that bounces around a room just like a “crazy super ball”.

As mentioned above, some of the maps, such as Fracture or Overload, look great in terms of visuals, but others, like Quarantine, feel bland and uninspired. Following the discovery that one of their own (John Malkovich – In the Line of Fire, RED, Burn After Reading) is now among the undead, the squad (Bill Paxton – Aliens, Titanic, Edge of Tomorrow, Rose McGowan – Planet Terror, Scream, Jon Bernthal – Fury, The Wolf of Wall Street and Bruce Campbell – Burn Notice, Bubba Ho-Tep) find themselves in a hard situation as they attempt to discover the true cause of the global pandemic and the bad secret that Atlas has been hiding. Now, they must face a deadly horde of zombies, and all of those zombies are wearing exo suits.
