If you're a series fan, you know exactly what you're in for with 's slate of upcoming DLC. That's not really a bad thing, mind - the heavyweight shooter series knows how to make a map pack sing, with oodles of new score streaks and timed events to keep players guessing. Not to mention the indispensable Exo Zombies mode, which expands on CoD's fine tradition of cheesy undead survival with super-powered exoskeletons for everybody. Check the trailer for Episode 2: Extinction below to see for yourself.

As per usual, each pack will hit Xbox One and Xbox 360 first, with release on all the other platforms expected about a month later. Each of the four packs is available on its own for $14.99/£11.59 or as part of the $49.99/£34.99 season pass - which includes a few other bonuses such as the Atlas Gorge map and early access to DLC weapons.

Advanced Warfare's Ascendance DLC map pack will release on April 30 on PC, PS3, and PS4, Activision has confirmed, about a month after it hit Xbox 360 and Xbox One. If you haven't already seen, Ascendance is all about getting vertical - kind of like those old Mountain Dew commercials, but with a high-tech grappling hook instead of a sailboard. Players can use the new gadget to zoom around Perplex, Site 244, Climate, and Chop Shop, but only in the Exo Grapple playlist.

Ascendance also adds the new OHM directed energy LMG/shotgun hybrid for use in competitive matches and its customized variant. Meanwhile, the second episode of the four-player co-op Exo Zombies campaign takes John Malkovich and company to the outskirts of an Atlas facility, where they'll (hopefully) overcome new zombie hordes with a unique selection of traps and weapons.

You want more competitive maps? Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare's Havoc DLC has more competitive maps. Four more, to be exact: Core, Urban, Drift, and Sideshow, and you can click on to see screenshots and brief synopses for each one. But what good is a bunch of new stages without some new guns to carve them up? Thankfully, Havoc also drops in the AE4 directed energy assault rifle and its customized variant, the AE4 Widowmaker.

Advanced Warfare's first DLC pack also includes the first episode of the Exo Zombies campaign, which sees four civilian employees of the Atlas corporation struggling to survive against an outbreak among the company's elite soldiers. And yes, it amps up the now-standard camp factor, complete with face-captured performances from John Malkovich, Bill Paxton, Rose McGowan, and Jon Bernthal to give Kevin Spacey a run for his PMC money.

We're already halfway through Advanced Warfare's Season Pass, but we'll still be sure to give you all the details on the Supremacy and Reckoning map packs as we get them. Until then, what's your favorite map so far? Let us know in the comments!
