Halo On Windows Vista

According to next-gen's* website the release of this game has been delayed because of Nudity. Since that the term "partial nudity" is vague I would like it if you could please post an example of the content you a referring to in the statement reflected quoted on next-gen's website.

LOL that's crazy... I wonder if this is referring to Cortana. Since she's an AI, she's not exactly clothed, but she is defined pretty well as a woman. I don't know though...

Allegedly this refered to a joke in the editor (which is why I noticed the editor was patched in the first patch) where you could get a ".ASS corrupt" message which was a dude from (bungie?) mooning you.

Funny, yes... but MS wanted to err on the side of caution. It may have not warrented a human resources visit, but it probably would have gotten a few mothers angry.

From what I've read it's not Microsoft's decision but the ESRB's fault for the game delay.  Even though the game is already rated M, this changes the description on the back of the box for list of content (to add "Partial Nudity" to "Blood and Gore", "Violence", and "Language").  They have released a patch to remove the image but the boxes are getting stickers over the old rating for the discs that have the image in the editor, so Microsoft has the re-label every box to comply with the ESRB agreement they have.

Nudity? If that was true, you'd think Halo 2 Xbox would be delayed much longer as well. I checked my H2X box, and it just says Blood and Gore.

um yeah, you need to read the whole story about the "Nudity".

If you had then you would know that said content was not found in the game, but in the map editor.

Yeah, thank god you have your copy. Because god has everything to do with it.

The game has been delayed 3 years! Personally I think a photo of some guy showing his ASS when the game crashes is 100% appropriate. If this game has been in development for so damn long it better be damn well flawless and never show any "cheeky" error messages.

The game has not been delayed 3 years. Where did you come to that conclusion? You do realize that it takes time to convert a game from the Xbox to the PC successfully and to improve upon it. Don't you? Also they weren't working on it when they were developing the Xbox version.  I'm not sure the year they started to work on Halo 2 Vista, but I am guessing around 2005/2006 ish.

Theres no way to figure out who it is based on the picture.

whats the big frickin deel??

It's in the editor not the actual game. H2X didn't have the editor only H2V has it. I found it pretty funny, but it's really pissing me off that they keep finding reasons to delay the game.
