Microsoft is delaying the release of Halo 2 for Windows Vista after partial nudity on the game was discovered, the software giant said Friday.

Halo 2 for Windows Vista is now expected to hit the stores sometime in the first week of June, approximately two weeks behind the revised May 22 schedule. The game was originally scheduled for release on May 8, but was delayed due to some technical problems, Microsoft said at the time.

The software giant attributes the most recent delay to an “obscure content error” found in the initial production of Halo 2′s map editor. That error was partial nudity.

Despite the error, Microsoft said it would be difficult to stumble across the offending content.

“This file is not in the game itself, nor will someone who simply plays the game ever encounter it,” Microsoft stated.

So someone decided to put an inmature Easter egg into the map editor and Microsoft has to correct it? It seems strange Microsoft would publish this as opposed to trying to bury it. Perhaps they’re hoping to get a bit of publicity?

I see that every time there is nudity or the like in games, a big deal is made. For nudity? That’s really ridiculous. What’s so wrong with it? Why is sex so menacing, so terrible?
