[bcrt2000]

In an e-mail statement sent to Next-Gen, Microsoft said, “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 (http://www.halo2.com/) to remove the content.korn hacks: The hot coffee mod in question? Jason's ASS:

this ACTUALLY makes sense. like how HG was so quiet about it

[Abdurahman]

There always has been nudity in halo (Cortana) ;);)

[Cortexian]

Yea but if Cortana turns you on... Well, she's made of code, wouldn't ever work out :P

[spidoman]

well now I need to find this partial nudity.

[Zeph]

No official source from MS means it's not a legit article. Besides, this is BS. Just WHERE in the game would you see partial nudity? I'm not going to lock this 'delay conspiracy thread' as it's actually a quality one, but I'm keeping my eye on it.

[InnerGoat]

well now I need to find this partial nudity.Of course you do.:XD:

[Cortexian]

I'm declaring this thread a conspiracy.

Nudity in Halo 2? It's M rated...

[soccerbummer1104]

idk if he made it, but scoob sent me a picture of a screen he got for an .ass error. its prolly that. it was some error he got when doing my map that has a picture of a guy mooning u. meh no big deal, but i guess MS didnt find the humor in it.

[WolfenRage]

YEAH WTF I BOUGHT HALO KNOWING IT WAS DESIGNED FOR 17 YEARS OLDS
I DON'T WANT A FRIGGIN GAME THAT IS ONLY ALLOWED FOR 18+ YEARS OLDS

WTF G*D F*CKN D*MN
THEY TRICKED ME

[bcrt2000]

Next Generation is a legit site. They used to be affiliated with IGN in the early days.

Heres IGN circa 1998 (http://web.archive.org/web/19981201180409/http://www.ign.com/index.html), notice the NEXT GENERATION logo on the left hand bar?

funny is watching someone slip on dry concrete.
funny is knowing the awnser. teacher marks wrong you correct and get right and pushes your mark up from a b+ to an A- which actually happened XD

[StankBacon]

could be the ass error that someone posted, that showed that guys ass....

-edit- nvm, yah lightning posted it.

[Kornman00]

[Phopojijo]

You know that makes sense, remember last night I was like "Zomg the patch edited Sapien, Guerrilla, and Tool!"

Yea, probably to remove the .ASS error.

The Arbiter texture has a butthole - highly erotic. Can't wait until Thompson gets all up in that Elite's buns.

So they recalled all the disks, then got to burn some more without this error?
Looks like teh lag has got some one fired :O


Was it in the h2ek or some compilation of the .ass file? (plugin)

Lets hope they unlock the pack to say sorry we had to look at some dudes ass

[Kornman00]

Not Pi's fault Bungie uses sneaky hacks for keeping their IP in their tools. After all, they thought they removed it...

I blame Nitro *points the finger*.

For those of you who have been waiting for the PC version of Halo 2, looks like you will have to wait a little longer – that is, if you’re able to tear yourself away from the Xbox 360 Halo 3 beta. Microsoft has once again pushed back the release date (http://www.gamespot.com/news/6171471.html?action=convert&om_clk=latestnews&tag=latestnews;title;1) for the Windows Vista edition of Halo 2 to May 31.

Halo 2 Vista was originally set for release on May 8, but Microsoft decided to push it back in order to make some important improvements to the install experience and to touch upon other technical issues.

"Halo 2 for Windows Vista did not release to retailers on May 22, as previously announced, and will now ship from manufacturers on May 31," a Microsoft representative said. "Shadowrun will be the first game to debut the highly anticipated Games for Windows Live system on May 29. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our customers."
Interestingly enough, reports are now surfacing that nudity is the cause for Halo 2 PC release. In an email statement received by Next-Generation (http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5757&Itemid=2), Microsoft said, “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. At Microsoft we take the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) guidelines very seriously and hold ourselves to high standards, with our customers always in mind.”
While Microsoft is officially calling it a delay, some stores have already received shipments and are selling copies. Stores such as Circuit City and other retail chain websites list the PC shooter as currently shipping and available for in-store pickup.

Whats the big deal? They are only upper legs ;)

[Digikid]

Yea but if Cortana turns you on... Well, she's made of code, wouldn't ever work out :P


Depends on the INPUT I guess. :XD:

I agree.

are you even old enough to play an M rated game?

Careful he may take that as a trick question. :downs:

Now thats just gross.

[Agamemnon]

That's hilarious.

[Melterx12]

Rofl they recalled all those copies for this? Lol funny thing is the cudve just released them and apply the update they made.

[bleach]

H2V has been delayed for teh second time...except for at circuit city.
Why would u want to look at someone's ass?

[Zeph]

why would you want to look at the file extension of .ass?

[Kornman00]

Well, now that guy can say hes gone cross-country-mooning :-3

Just another step in bungie's global domination. Speaking of which, I fell like some halo3...

[Cortexian]

Wow, the fact that this is true, is amazing. You relize that if they have to print more copy's, it will cost them a lot of money? I'm glad I got my copy Pre-Ordered, AND for sale.

[WolfenRage]

Wait a minute this is a sticky, Is this true? wtf
what possible "nudity" does Halo have to offer?

LoL I thought that was just a joke,
I don't see any Republican Soccer moms or Old Liberal Hippy Douche bags getting mad over this. Im pretty sure anyone could let this slide
Now, a cortana nipple slip might see some outcry, and a recall. But a still image of some chunky Caucasian male's buttocks,cmon, I have seen worse.

[TheGhost]

I actually saw this on Tuesday, but I didn't think much of it. I laughed and then fixed the error and continued my work. Didn't know it was going to turn into this! haha

[soccerbummer1104]

im also thinking that the delay could be a problem with the process of registering the game, and the run feature. if yall haven't noticed yet, you can run the game (start it) without the cd in the drive at all. also, i was currious, since it didnt work in halo 1, but you can even install it on 2 different comps (two dif 1'sin y house hold) and it runs fine on both at the same time, when they are both logged into the same server.. online or lan... in halo 1 it wouldn't allow you to join a server if another person in that server had the same product key.. not in vista :\
and i have since uninstalled that other copy from the other maching... lol, it could barely run t anyways :-P

[Limited]

why would you want to look at the file extension of .ass?
I dunno, is the filename "female.ass" ??
