It wouldn't surprise me, devs have been doing things like this for years. Interesting that this comes out right before MW2 drops, not like its going to steal any sales away from MW2, but maybe some media attention will be diverted. In short, I wouldn't put it above anyone to do anything. We'd all like to think Bungie would take the moral high ground and take a "low blow" at their competition, but you never know.
How is MW2 competition to bungie regarding Halo Reach? That's rhetorical, it's not. In actuality MW2 is a huge release for Microsoft. Its the biggest game of the year, and most of its sales are going to be on the 360. They are even bundling it with a themed console.
Microsoft would be stupid to Leak these photos, and there is no way bungie would show off photos that are alpha, before they know their game is ready.
My theory is that these pictures were taken over a year ago, or at least 6 months ago by an employee at Microsoft. He got laid off, and therefore to get back for his release he put these on the interwebs.
