Porn and Halo 3 file sharing
Brad Nicholson07.21.2008 21:42 (46 day(s) ago) 28 comments

Porn and Halo 3 file sharing screenshot

The depth of depravity on the Internet rarely surprises me anymore. What does surprise me is when vice slips through a seemingly secure system. Today, HushedCasket stumbled upon something particularly odd on Halo 3’s file sharing system. It was an image of several topless women, instead of the typical Halo 3 picture.

The racy picture was uncovered while a user was browsing his recent players and subsequently their shared photos. The offender’s profile and the picture can be found here for those so inclined to see it. The image is at the bottom of the menu, and is obviously not safe for work or minors.

My first question is, how does one circumvent the system and place this picture into the system? Secondly, is this practice very widespread? I imagine that Bungie will squash this as soon as they realize that people are abusing the system in this way, but this is certainly very odd. Have you guys seen anything like this before while playing Halo 3?

[Thanks, Eric!]

Like you, this doesn't surprise me. I'm just wondering how he managed to do that on his file share and may or may not want to try it for myself.

I played a game of Halo a few weeks ago and afterward someone sent me a "Halo porn" picture. I was really surprised.

I've seen it done before. Nothing new, just a picture of tits instead of something else.

You say this on a somewhat hard to find gaming blog full of gamers, you're only insulting yourself there.

@Barcode
Not using your gaming system for porn? Obviously someone doesn't take advantage of the Xbox's ability to stream massive libraries of videos from your home server.

You know...honestly, it's a sad state of affairs in America when womens' breasts are considered "porn". I'm a 38 year old gamer, and while I might not feel completely comfortable if a kid under 10 saw this, but we're talking breasts, not hardcore porn. In Europe this is a common sight. I guess all the violence is ok here in America, just not the female assets.
