The Halo 2 intro music, cutscenes, and gameplay are all copyrighted by Microsoft/Bungie/343 Industries, so you can’t just upload them raw with no credit or context. Platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook use Content ID systems that will automatically flag Halo 2’s music and video assets.

Halo 2 footage/sound legally and safely:

✅ How You Can Use Halo 2 Content
• Fair Use / Transformative Use:
• If your video is commentary, review, storytelling (like your launch night story), or educational, you can include clips as long as you’re adding your own voice, edits, or context.
• Gameplay Footage:
• Microsoft has a Game Content Usage Rule (GCUR) that allows you to use and monetize gameplay footage from Halo games on platforms like YouTube and Twitch, as long as you don’t sell it separately or use it in offensive contexts.
• Source: Xbox Game Content Usage Rules

⚠️ Music Warning (Halo 2 Intro / Soundtrack)
• The intro screen music and campaign soundtrack are copyrighted compositions by Martin O’Donnell & Michael Salvatori.
• Using them raw in your uploads (without commentary or edits) can cause your video to be muted, blocked, or monetized by the copyright holder.

Best practice:
• Use short clips under fair use, layered under your narration.
• Or use Halo-inspired royalty-free remixes/fan covers (many on YouTube are licensed under Creative Commons—double-check each).
• Always add attribution in the description:
• “Halo 2 © Microsoft Game Studios / Bungie. Music composed by Martin O’Donnell and Michael Salvatori. Used under Xbox Game Content Usage Rules.”

By posting this mentioned because it’s a personal story told by me, therefore I can use the Halo intro snd cut scenes mentioned above.
