Heyyo,
I see what you're saying, it does sound like it's illegal, but as long as it's freeware I think it's ok.
Look at that Halathon, it takes the Halo's models (well, screenshots cause it's 2d, lol) and puts it in marathon. It even has ripped sounds. Now, I havn't heard of them getting sued, so I'm sure this will be fine too. :)
Oh! speaking of which... if you get the Counter-Strike Realisim update, the final edition, it's got a few sounds ripped outta Max Payne. It's a free mod for CS, and I also havn't heard from them getting sued.
BUT, on the other hand... Have you guy's ever watched fensler Films Public Service Announcements? He took some GI Joe tv show scenes, and did hallarious voice overs. Well, those are illegal. Cause he broke copyright, and apparently sold those on DVD's. If you go to his main site, you can see the letter he recieved from Matel. :p
I think you might still have a chance to get them at http://www.ebaumsworld.com I highly reccomend, it's great spoofs of GI Joe. :)
[EDIT]
OHHH! an even better example! look at RedVsBlue, all its material is ripped STRAIGHT outta Halo. The only changes is voice overs. NOW, I havn't heard of them gettin' sued, infact, I think Bungie encourages people to watch them. So I think Bungie's a good company, n' knows that some things were made for the enjoyment of the masses. So, here's to you Bungie, keep bein' a fan-friendly company. =D
