Series 7: Elite
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Season 7: Elite is a season for Halo: The Master Chief Collection, released on June 23, 2021.[1] As of December 2020, plans had been laid internally at 343 Industries for this season.[3] The season's name and emblem are related to the Sangheili species, with the emblem being a Type-1 energy sword and an Sangheili's eye in the sword's handle. This season notably included long-awaited additions to Elite-focused armor customisation in Halo 3, in the form of seven new harnesses, alongside the four Champions Bundle armors from Halo 4[4] and the KEYSTONE helmet, based on Halo Infinite's Mark VII helmet, for Halo 4 as an exclusive item in "The Exchange" store.
In addition to the new customization content, Season 7 also introduced changes to the classic Halo: Combat Evolved graphics to better reflect the original Xbox version of the game, rather than the 2003 PC port which introduced many graphical issues. Furthermore, the season also features improvements to the Halo Online maps Waterfall and Edge, which have been added to Halo 3 matchmaking, and general bug fixes,[5] with Edge being finally added as a playable map with this Season.
The Master Chief Collection's Custom Games Browser, which had previously been briefly tested publicly on retail also launched this season, with support for Halo: Reach.[6] Players are now be able to host their own matches available to the public. Other games are eventually planned to be brought to the Custom Games Browser at a later date.
Concurrent to the launch of Season 7, the Halo: Combat Evolved Mod Tools were also launched for players on Steam.
