It was not photoshopped. The author already confirmed that is legitimately on the cover (not that its legit in the first place).

Actually, both the person that drew the cover picture and the author would both be sued. Usually the author approves the image for the cover of the book.

No, they will just tie Bill to a poll and beat the author with the awesomeness that is Bill Gates.

I got his sarcasm...one person has to implement sarcasm and then you get a pile of terrorist chipmunks crashing your party, not fun at all..

Lol I wonder who copied who.
Hmmm I wonder if thats MC. Because then we have seen his real face. But thats set in 2072, so I doubt it.

I can imagine it now: "This is Lawyer 117, can anyone hear me? Over," Bill Gates with his black eyepatch similar to solid snakes: "Isolate that signal!"

Wait, no, this is not wrong in any way... The BR is designed from a real life weapon, one quite popular among any action games. I've played several games that came out before Halo 2 with this same exact weapon design.

The BR is not an exact copy of a real world weapon, it is similar, but the BR has a distinctive look. The weapon on the book is an exact copy of the BR.

You know what I think is so funny , this has nothing to do with Halo 3 , yet no one has said anything but if someone says something that isnt interesting that has nothing to do with Halo 3 they get their ass flamed , does that make sense to any of you. And what I think about the book is wow. I could see them copying something from a less popular video game , But the Halo franchise , bad move.

It is an exact copy, I magnified it and the shadow lines match perfectly.

I don't think the author can be sued over it, the author may never have played the game or anything of the sort. However the artist certainly has copied something for personal profit, and I believe the publisher may hold some responsibility for the use of the copyrighted piece in the artwork.

I dunno, I don't wanna comment one way or the other on this, I've referred it up the chain.
