This image is a screenshot of a weapon from the Halo series of first-person shooter video games developed by Bungie Studios or 343 Industries and published by Microsoft. It falls under the screenshot category for a copyrighted computer game or video game, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the company that developed the game. It is believed that the use of a limited number of web-resolution screenshots:

• for identification and critical commentary on
  • the computer or video game in question, or
  • the copyrighted character(s) or item(s) depicted on the screenshot in question.

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law, as such display does not significantly impede the right of the copyright holder to sell the copyrighted material, is not being used to turn a profit in this context, and presents ideas that cannot be exhibited otherwise.
