Microsoft delaying release of Halo 2 due to nudity scenes

Halo was one of the top selling games on the original Xbox, and helped increase the popularity of the Xbox. The next version of the game is eagerly awaited, but now Microsoft has released a statement that the release of Halo 2 for Windows Vista has been delayed by around a month due to 'content' issues. And what are these content issues ? Well, Microsoft discovered that due to an error in Halo 2's map editor, there are scenes of partial nudity, and hence unless these are repaired, the game cannot be released. Refer to this article:

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.
The company has no plans to change the rating of its game, given it affects only the initial run of games and not subsequent shipments. Warning labels will be placed on packaging for the affected games, and Microsoft has developed a patch that can be downloaded to remove the content in question.

However, after the furore over similar scenes discovered in Grand Theft Auto and the political questions over it, it was impossible for Microsoft to discover that something like this occurs in the game, but is not yet fixed. They would rather bite the schedule and take a fix.
