Ok, I have to admit the Tray & Play works quite well and loading times are quite smooth. But there always seems to be a little wee tiny bit of lag in-game, just enough to annoy the hell out of me. To get acceptable performance I need to go down to 1024 x 768 (I can still keep the detail level high tho). And even then, it takes a few minutes for the game to smooth out to be totally enjoyable. And in the end, it looks almost -blam!-tier than Halo PC?!? Seriously, this game looks quite dull compared to its predecessor. Maybe I would have a different opinion if I had a fully-loaded 8800 GTX, but come on, this is an Xbox game. The original Xbox had a 733 mhz processor. Is it that hard not to program bloated these days?
It's not hard to program not bloated but this isn't the problem here.
First off, you never gave us your system specifications. On my system, I run Halo 2 at 1680 X 1050 with max everything and the framerate never drops. How do I know you're not on a 600MHz processor? Give us your specs!
Secondly, you can't compare the processor and hardware of the original XBox to a PC. It was built only for games where as your PC is doing more than just gaming so there is already a natural overhead. Also, you're running at a higher resolution than the original XBox was made for.
