the thing is, is that some one was creating a mod that let people "play" halo, without paying for the game. Its just like you created a map for ce. Then before you released it, someone stole it and released it under their name, even though you had created it. The same thing applies with content ripped from other games that you put into your map. Granted that there are halo 2 maps in ce...
I don't know what game the mod was for, but it did violate IP. Bungie/MS owns that IP and if you violate it, you could get punished.
Another mod that is transforming a game into another game is Project Revolution. They are trying to do a balancing act on the IP. They making it such that you require the Starcraft/Brood War disks to play the Warcraft 3 Mod, thus they hope to not violate IP. Blizzard has not said anything either way about the mod... yet.
