Flights

Main article: MCC Insider Program

Flighting for Season 6 was originally set to begin on or after February 18, 2021.[3] The release was ultimately delayed, and Flighting began on the 26th.[6] The Flight was designed to test Season 6 content in new features, though not all of it was available at the start. At the Flight's start, available content included;

  • Several new Halo 3 armor permutations.
    • Halo: Fireteam Raven armors.
    • RHINE-class Mjolnir from Halo Online.
    • Backpack accessories for Halo 3.
  • Two new multiplayer maps for Halo 3, originally from Halo Online.
  • Several new animated nameplates.
  • Several new Halo 3 skins.
  • In-game team switching

In an update later in the flight, the new season points store will be added alongside a number of bugfixes for the existing content. Due to player feedback, the map Edge has been delayed and will be released in a future season.[7] Originally, this update for the flight was planned to add a custom games browser initally only supporting Halo: Reach, though this was halted due to time constraints.[8]

Cut Season content

Season 6 was originally slated to release with two former-Halo Online maps. While Waterfall made it into the final release, the map Edge was cut from Season 6 during the season flighting, as 343 Industries felt the map needed "fundamental improvements" before release.[7]

We will be updating the flight, but unfortunately Phase 1 for CGB will not be flighted at this time." (Retrieved on Mar 10, 2021) [archive]
