Nudity! A bare bottom! Scandal!
That’s the completely unexpected reason why the Windows Vista version of “Halo 2” was pushed back again after its original release date earlier this month was scrapped.
The details, involving a guy engaged in mooning in the game’s level editor, are in this hilarious story from Next Generation.
When Microsoft acquired Bungie, the makers of “Halo,” there was talk about how Bungie would adapt to life under their corporate overlords. This may be some small clue of how that’s going. Microsoft can’t be happy about this, coming as it does after the “Grand Theft Auto” “Hot coffee” mod fiasco.
All I can say is that if you need a good reason to disappoint gamers again and push back the release of a game, this is it. No ifs, ands or pixellated rear-ends.
