Changes from Ascension
- Zenith will feature a large energy shield in the center of the map, triggered by any of three switches around the map's outskirts.[4]
- The sky bridge from the Banshee platform to the sniper tower is now wider and has additional horizontal and vertical cover against fire from the tower. The middle of the bridge also has an added platform structure.[5]
- The map has received significant visual changes. Whereas the original map was located atop a fixed plateau, Zenith is based on an "island" of rock floating high above the surface of a rotating Halo installation, surrounded by similar floating rock formations.
