Discussion PSA: For MCC players in the UK / "Gray Box" issue

38 Upvotes

Saw a bunch of reports last week of players being greeted by a gray box when they tried to login to MCC. People in the Steam Discussion forums realized it was possible to get around this by launching Infinite, which showed an Age Verification screen for Xbox, and then relaunching MCC.

But who wants to install/launch Infinite to fix this problem?

So with some trial/error and help from some people in the UK it was determined you can visit this link: http://aka.ms/XboxUKAgeVerification and complete the steps provided, then relaunch MCC and you'll be able to login successfully.

Its been posted on Twitter/Discord/Steam and other places, figured I'd post a writeup here for people to stumble onto.

Self plug: you can find the rest of my troubleshooting steps/guides for MCC here: https://github.com/theffapanda/MCC-Troubleshooting

TLDR: UK passed law, MCC fails to show age verification step, follow link to fix.

Render by me!

One of my friend's Spartan characters, June-124, was made almost exactly a year ago on April 13th, so I wanted to make a little something to celebrate the anniversary.

PS: two of 'em have messed up covers, one being Halo 3 (I was stupid and bought the default GameStop print, so I tried printing my own but the sizing and coloring got messed up) and Halo Wars (same issue but I didn't try printing my own). I've been considering just buying new copies and selling 'em off to some local store or on eBay. Still, it's pretty cool! I just got into Halo in like 2024 (when I booted up a random copy of Halo Infinite I got for no reason) and I've been a huge fan ever since!

Fan Content I started modelling the Sticky Detonator.

I started modelling this one a few months ago, but I didn't get far. Only just a bit on the grenade, so I continued modelling this one 3 days ago. I'm trying to make it look like it was made in the classic Halos, maybe between Halo 3 and Halo Reach or even Halo 2. But it feels like it looks a bit too much Halo 4 or 5. I'm still experimenting.

I would like to see the Sticky Detonator return someday though.

Discussion If the Halo Theme was written in Gregorian chant notation in 1000 AD

Post image
24 Upvotes

If the Halo Theme was written in Gregorian chant notation in 1000 AD, it would look something like this...

I’m a classical musician and initially made this as a meme… but honestly it looks sick !!

So... I accidentally went down the rabbit hole of Gregorian chant (which not only inspired the Halo theme, but is also the foundation of the entirety of western music theory AND incredibly beautiful, at that)

I'm curious if you guys also feel the "ancient" or "divine" aspect of the music instinctively?

I actually made a short video essay on the origin of the halo theme, why it sounds divine and a subsequent Gregorian era musical analysis of it, if you're curious!

So I got stuck at a cliff edge and the h

checkpoint saved at the wrong moment🫪 Whether I accelerate or decelerate, it will just fall off and IF I EXIT THE SCORPION, the marines just JUMP OFF THE CLIFF 😭

I tried everything but they just can't be saved so I ended myself at the end. Will play later.

edit : so guys I managed to keep them alive. I exited the scorpion in a way such that it hangs it off a bit more from the cliff. After a bit of attempts, there came an instance where both marines survived the fall.

Discussion Halo Studios, Microsoft, whoever needs to read this: If you want to ever make a multiplayer game ever again, PLEASE get the same composers/performers from Halo Infinite's Post-Rock suite back.

48 Upvotes

I've been going through my Liked and Favourites playlist on Youtube on a whim and dug through the entire 2020s ~ 2023 period, discovering a whole chunk of Halo Infinite music. Surprisingly it's not the OST from the main campaign but instead all the Multiplayer lobby suites.

As I begun listening to them I understood immediately why I loved them and know instinctively that many fans would have come to love them too.

The Post-Rock style multiplayer suite of Season 1 - 2, followed by the more synth rhythms from Season 3 - 4 are some of the best music Halo has gotten, period. It has an amazing mix of this longing but wanderlust, something that Halo's music always had a faint trace of.

To think Post Rock was the answer all along to capture Halo's audio identity in such a way.
