Ascension takes the form of platforms and walkways built on and around a central rocky pillar, interconnecting and weaving throughout. There are three primary platforms extending off the main area, with two containing sniper/ watchtowers and another containing a landing pad with a {{Pattern|Oghal|Banshee}}. The centre of the map has a large dish inset into the ground, with a rotating structure capable of temporarily blocking sightlines across the map.

*Ascension was nearly cut from ''Halo 2'' in its early stages. The map was considered broken as all player traffic was concentrated to the center dish; this was solved by adding more paths to the sides of the map.{{Ref/YouTube|Id=RTX|qQQbGq8TnR8|Halo|Halo: The Master Chief Collection Panel - RTX 2014|D=10|M=11|Y=2014}}
