Xbox 360 owner already enjoy Halo 3, but PC owners with Windows Vista OS are still waiting for Halo 2, which is already delayed.
Halo 2 for PCs was initially scheduled for May 8th, but it was delayed for two weeks because of installation errors. Now it is again delayed because hidden nudity within the game code. The release date is promised to be May 31st.
"It has come to our attention that an unfortunate, obscure content error which includes partial nudity was included in our initial production of Halo 2 for Windows Vista. As such, we have updated the initial game packaging at retailers with a label, so customers are aware before purchasing the game. Additionally, we've developed an online update which can be downloaded from www.halo2.com to remove the content," said Microsoft representative.
"The content in question, although likely to be inaccessible to the vast majority of users, displays a photograph of an individual showing his bare backside to the user when a particular error occurs, and thus warrants a 'Partial Nudity' content descriptor in order to alert consumers to its presence in the product," the ESRB spokesperson writes.
Microsoft has already released patch to remove the unwanted content for those ho already do have purchased initial Halo 2 versions. The 2MB patch is available on Microsoft's website. But the new version to be released at the end of May, will have the content already removed. Now Microsoft has ESRB labels on the games with nudity.
