Fair use rationale[edit]

It is believed that the use of this image, Halo.jpg, qualifies as fair use in the article Halo: Combat Evolved because:

• Bungie has not released any such images into the public domain, and a replacement image could not be created that would adequately provide the same information
• The image is web-resolution
• The use of this image neither detracts from the game nor inhibits its salability in any way
• The image is being used solely for informative purposes, as it serves to illustrate the form in which the game takes place
