Halo 2 delayed due to naked ass (aka Coders Gone Wild)

Brian Crecente wrote:Luke reported yesterday on Hot Spartan, the news that Halo 2 Vista shipped with "accidental" partial nudity . The "accident" led the ESRB to issue warning labels for the game saying it contains "Partial Nudity."

But what part, exactly, was nude? And how was it in the game "accidentally"? I'll let the ESRB explain after the jump, but be warned the explanation features a naked ass.

ESRB wrote:After the M (Mature 17+) rating assignment was issued for Halo 2 for Vista and just prior to the shipment of the game to retail, Microsoft notified ESRB about pertinent content found in a map editor tool that is being bundled with the game. 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. Microsoft has therefore applied stickers with correct ESRB rating information to the packaging of virtually all copies that will ship to retail in the U.S. and Canada. We have been advised by Microsoft that future runs of the game will be produced without the content in question, thus negating the need for the descriptor to be displayed on those versions.

"ESRB's job is to ensure that games are appropriately labeled, and that is precisely what we did in this case. We greatly appreciate Microsoft's cooperation in this matter."
That's right, some dip at Microsoft Games Studio (or perhaps Bungie) thought it would be funny to moon users when Vista craps out and churns out a certain error message. Hmm, wonder if it was Steve Ballmer? Maybe he's had our pants around our ankles so long he decided to return the favor.

It's okay to kill thousands of people in games but when you start seeing some guys ass you know it's gone too far and has to stop.

That's not the only reason. The game is horribly broken and missing features.

Some guys hairy ass will destroy the American way of life. No more fast food, SUV's, Eminen, Yankee tickets, manly hunting trips with daddy, ear-haired liberals bitching, redneck conservatives fucking their chubby children.

ALL. BECAUSE. OF. SOME. GUYS. UGLY. ASS.

True. It also works admirably with the daughters of others. For sundry reasons.

It's some sort of pussy frigate or gunboat anyway, not even a ship worthy of the term. :battlecruiser operational: :carrier has arrived:

Also Truth & Reconciliation. I can just imagine the fear that ship inspired in the poor human armies. It threatens to... not lie and... and bring people together! We're doomed!

Read some fucking Iain M. Banks, you semi-literate apes.

Now the real question is: what weapon would you use to shoot that ass? Sniper rifle maybe? The new laser? 'Cause I would use a harpoon. As in man them.

You read some Alastair Reynolds, turdburglar. You can write hoity-toity science fiction, and that's fine, but there is no excuse whatsoever for a spaceship named "In Amber Clad" that's meant to be a big threatening warship.

Yeah, 'cause every ship has to be named "Ass-Fucker" or "Death-Bringer", right? Read the order of battle of the American Navy, spastic. Ship names are about the tradition, values and aesthetics of the civilization that named them, not scary-sounding words.

And since we have a long tradition of building space ships of war, we must continue it

Maybe a new system is made for starships, based on the tradition, values, and aesthetics of the US Navy.

"Neo-Colonial Enforcer", "Mercantilist Dominator", "Spirit Of Oligarcy", "Xenophage", "Consent Factory", etc.
