This is a common problem in any game played over the internet, and it is most evident in FPS games, where milliseconds really matter. Like someone said, this happens in all games, not just SWAT, but it is where it is most visible and has the greatest effect. There really isn't anything you can do about it, configuring your connection or changing minute game options is impossible on an Xbox.
On Counter-Strike, the problem of shots not registering is known simply as "reg", and it is a major part of competitive CS to lower your "reg" so that you might have the advantage of a few milliseconds on your opponents. Of course, CS sports an in-game console with a multitude of game diagnostic tools and options, so tweaking one's connection is easier to do. It has something to do with setting "rates" to the ideal number, not too high, not too low. I of course am clueless after this point, and in fact I digress very much here. In short, there's nothing you can do, except hope for a better connection, dedicate your network to Halo 2 only, all that jazz.
