I see. You just hang out in the PC forum because...... (list lame reason here)
And I found this, which worries me a bit.
There were many challenges moving the existing system to the PC. First and foremost, the Xbox version by design needs a lot of gamers to be online or the matchmaking waits can become really long. If the first people to buy “Halo 2” for Windows Vista had to wait 30 minutes to be set up for a simple match, they’d be pretty ticked off. Knowing that PC gamers are simply used to a game browser, we voted to make a change in the way players enter multiplayer matches. Typical PC gamers also like exceeding control over what they’re doing, while mucking with the advanced settings in any program which allows it. The game browser provides that advanced control, while assuring we get to choose the game to play. If there weren’t a browser, it just wouldn’t feel like a PC game – it would feel like an Xbox game that was jerry-rigged to run on a PC.

Looks like it was never intended to be in HALO2 PC.
