That looks like a carbon copy.
I doubt there's a case to sue, though. Artistic and poetic licence is far outreaching and it's not as if the HUD is patented. However, if Microsoft can prove that the textures were ripped from the game in their .DDS glory then I believe there could be a case as it would be using copyrighted material in a manner not authorized by the publisher (i.e. commercially). However, even then, it would be a very weak case as there is a huge time gap between Halo:CE and that commercial.
That's just my $0.02, for what it's worth.
EDIT: Or Bungie/Microsoft was involved.
