Halo 2 Release Falls Through the Cracks....Literally.

In the "from worse to ugly" category on the newsfront this week, Gamespot reports that Halo 2 for Windows Vista has missed its May 8th release date only to be pushed all the way back to this Thursday. The reason for the delay? It might not be what you think. Microsoft, in a rare case of fessing up to its own mistakes, gave Gamespot the following statement: "An unfortunate, obscure content error which includes partial nudity was included in our initial production of Halo 2 for Windows Vista".
Whatwhatwhat? Partial nudity? Could this be every gaming nerd's dream? Could it be that Cortana sheds her Tron-esque garment for a moment of softcore action? The result may suprise you, as it turns out the culprit ends up to be...oh wait, I can't forget a warning of some sort. Adult content herein, Mothers lock up your children and anyone else, say a prayer for the souls for anyone about to view this:
HEADLINE: Microsoft / Bungie Employee makes an ass of himself. Har. Har.
Yes, the whole bruhaha is because of one bare ass that gave the game the less-than-coveted M for Mature rating. As a result, retailers have labelled the tainted copies with stickers warning against partial nudity.
This error, according to Kotaku, will most likely not be seen by the casual user. It turns out to be an obscure error in the game's map editor.
So because of all of this, anyone who wants to play the game online will have to install an update that will remove the ass (or lack thereof) from ever being seen.
