The third DLC expansion for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Supremacy, arrives in June, adding four new maps and the next chapter in the Exo Zombies saga.

This time around, cult acting legend Bruce Campbell (The Evil Dead, Bubba Ho-Tep, Xena: Warrior Princess) joins the all-star cast of Exo Zombies, which already includes John Malkovich (Being John Malkovich), Bill Paxton (Apollo 13), Rose McGowan (Grindhouse), and Jon Bernthal (The Walking Dead). This new chapter, Carrier, appears to put the crew onto an aircraft carrier, one that is of course swarming with zombies. Groovy.

Supremacy also adds four new multiplayer maps to the mix. All of them feature the new Exo Grapple mechanic, which is an exo ability that lets you shoot and retract a powerful grappling hook in order to zip around the level like Spider-Man.

Parliament takes you to another European capital, this time along the river Thames in the heart of London. Big Ben smokes in the background as you struggle for control over a military cargo ship. Watch out for the barrage of missiles that will rain down if one team takes control of the map-based scorestreak.

Skyrise will see you doing battle in yet another classic European city. Based on the fan-favorite map Highrise from Modern Warfare 2, this map places players in an Atlas Skyscraper overlooking the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. The addition of exoskeleton abilities will turn up the temperature in this intense, close-quarters map.

Last but not least, Compound is for when you want to get out of the city and catch a little fresh air in the Colorado wilderness. Don’t expect it to be a relaxing visit, however, since this Atlas training facility is a small, symmetrical map which encourages fast-paced combat.

As usual, Xbox gamers get a first crack at the Supremacy DLC, which will be available via Xbox Live on June 2. PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PC gamers will have to wait until June 25 to join the action.

Activision is looking to curb the toxic cesspool that is Call of Duty multiplayer with a few features coming in its upcoming game Black Ops 6.

While the development team released its voice and moderation system into Modern Warfare 3 at launch, Black Ops 6 will have a more robust version onday one. Voice moderation will be available in five languages -- it already supports English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and will have French and German when Black Ops 6 launches. Text tools can monitor even more, with the ability to work with 20 languages, including Japanese, Turkish, and Romanian.

Activision finally has a solution for giant Call of Duty file sizes
Soldiers fight in a shopping plaza in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

It wouldn't be a Call of Duty launch without conversations about large file sizes, but Activision is looking to address those issues with a series of updates over the next few months. One of the biggest involves decoupling the free-to-play Warzone from the main game, which will help to make Black Ops 6 smaller than Modern Warfare 3, according to the publisher.

While Activision hasn't revealed game file size just yet, these new changes will be implemented starting on August 21 with Season 5 Reloaded. In a blog post published Thursday, Activision developers laid out plans to streamline textures and to encourage users to download early, but making Warzone a separate download by default will be the most impactful on file sizes. Warzone is a battle royale that's a separate, free-to-play game, so there's no reason to keep it tied with the latest Call of Duty main release. It'll be available to install at any time, and players can opt to download it with Black Ops 6.
