Excavation Site 64

"Investigate a disturbance within Fascist France territory."

- Map description

Excavation Sites 64 is the first (chronologically the fifth) Zombies map of the Black Ice Zombies storyline. It is set at Excavation Site 64, a Black Ice dig site within Imperial France in the region of Lorraine.

The map's story follows a team of T.I.T.A.N. operatives as they are sent to what they believe is a "Nazi German research site" in Fascist France. They soon discover that the area itself is infested with "zombies" as well as undead Crusaders from within the dig site.

Despite chronologically being the fifth map in the Black Ice Zombies storyline, the map serves as the introduction to the storyline. In addition, there aren't any major easter eggs available other than just a single musical easter egg.

Overview
Although using the same layout as "Origins" from 2012's Call of Duty: Black Ops II, the only areas available are the main Excavation Site in the middle, the fourth and fifth Generators as well as the lower floor of the Church. Areas not available include the stairs leading to the sixth Generator, the first, second and third Generators as well as the Tank paths leading to these locations are blocked by Nazi German vehicles. In addition, the tunnels beneath the Pack-A-Punch location is accessible, however the lower levels leading to the Staffs Chamber is not.

The map is different from Origins, however with the inclusion of Black Ice vehicles, equipment and dead soldiers laying the area. The giant robots also do not appear in their walking paths. Throughout the map, the mud spots are still present and will slow down players. Instead of the 115 Generators, Black Ice power generators take their place and need to be activated to power up the Perk Machines. Players will mainly encounter French Zombies as well as Crusader Zombies, if venturing into the Excavation Site.
