Following the reveal of Halo Infinite’s multiplayer gameplay at the Xbox E3 2021 show, 343 Industries has also announced that Season 7 of Halo: The Master Chief Collection (MCC), dubbed “Elite,” will go live for all players on June 23, 2021. The new season is primarily focused on humanity’s shaky alliance with the Arbiter and the Elites, who helped humanity in Halo 3 and Fireteam Osiris in Halo 5.
In terms of what’s on offer in Season 7: Elite, players can expect several new armor sets for Elites in multiplayer as well as multiple new skins for the energy sword. Previous seasons have also included player nameplate customizations and other types of weapon and vehicle skins, so we wouldn’t be surprised to see Elite-themed nameplates or lots of skins for Covenant weapons and vehicles, either.

As with previous Halo: MCC seasons, the new content on offer will be completely free to unlock; all players have to do to obtain it is play the MCC and accrue experience by finishing matches and completing challenges. This will level up the (free) season pass and allow you to unlock the new items.
Overall, are you excited for Season 7 of the MCC? Let me know. I think it looks like a fantastic way to kill time while waiting for Halo Infinite and the Halo Infinite beta. The game also combines all of the pre-Xbox One Halo games into one and upgrades them with modern features like UHD 4K support, 120 FPS support, adjustable FOV, and more for just $40. This makes it one of the best Xbox One shooters available, and a game that you definitely shouldn’t overlook. On PC, the game has been played by over 10 million people, making it one of the most popular sci-fi games on the platform right now.

Halo Infinite: Who is the new Cortana-like AI companion?
The Halo Infinite trailer at Xbox E3 2021 introduced us to The Weapon, a brand new AI that looks and sounds a whole lot like Cortana, yet is noticeably different in a few major ways. Who is this character and where did she come from? Here’s some speculation from our Halo lore aficionado.
More than just a Start menu? There’s a lot to Windows 11 yet to come.
There’s a lot of info coming out on Windows 11 lately, but if you haven’t tried it yourself, it is easy to dismiss as just a minor refresh. While the new Start menu is a big deal, many other changes warrant a new Windows versioning, including features we haven’t yet seen.
Windows 11 has a new ‘Widgets’ panel that replaces News & Interests
Microsoft’s new Windows 11 OS features a brand new “Widgets” panel that’s pinned to the Taskbar by default. This Widgets panel is essentially just the Windows 10 “News & Interests” taskbar flyout, but housed in a slightly different UI. It connects to the same MSN service, and offers the same news, weather, sports, and finance updates.
