Season 5
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Season 5 is an upcoming season for Halo: The Master Chief Collection, expected to be released some time in January 2021. 343 Industries intends to release the previously-cut AKIS and Mariner helmets as part of this update,[1] after they were pushed back from Season 4 due to difficulties encountered during development.[2]
Season unlocks[edit]
Season 5 is expected to add the following content to the game. Notably, the Halo: Reach and Halo 3 customization options were implemented into the game in the Season 4 December update, as available for preview in the game's menus. However, they are unable to be unlocked and used in-game without the use of modding.

If you prefer a true classic experience, you’ll be able to flip the “New Skins in Halo 3” toggle to “disabled” and you won’t see any new cosmetic items (weapon skins, vehicle skins, or armor) when you’re playing Halo 3. If you decide to turn off cosmetics, any players in your game who are wearing new armor will appear as default Mark VI."
