==Production notes==
The Winter Update is also known as "'''Season 2001'''" on [[Halo Waypoint]]'s service records, as it fell under [[Season 02: Lone Wolves|Season 02's]] banner, and is considered an [[Event|Event or Operation]] within the game's menu. The Winter Update would be properly reclassified as an Operation with [[Season 05: Reckoning]], and subsequent Operations in Season 05, [[Content Update 29]], and [[Content Update 32]] would follow suit and fall under the banners of '''Season 5000''', '''Season 6000''', and '''Season 7000''', respectively.
