Halo 2 was like that before Halo 3 came out. I think you were just looking at it through rose-tinted spectacles.
I disagree with that. Check my stats, I haven't played Halo 3 yet, and I'm noticing these problems, as well. It's gotten a lot worse on the lag in games, and that's if you're lucky enough to find a game. I waited about thirty to forty-five minutes a couple of days ago, and finally just gave up. It's just getting horrible.
Yes, realy though I was more talking specifically about the things the OP referred to:-

After the dismal halo3 multiplayer I decided to go back to halo2 and was prompted for an update that sees to have set halo2 way back. so BTB is no longer ranked and is constant slayer matches on crappy maps, the matchmaking is awful and constantly restarts, betraying is gone haywire since I'm getting booted from loads of games for 1 betrayal, somtimes even when I didnt betray! and vice versu when someone didnt betray me their name pops up asking me to boot them.
BTB has been that way for ages, there was no playlist update for ages, I was having the matchmaking restarting problem for a long time before halo 3 came along and the betrayal thing has also been around for a long time too.
Not finding matches is an unavoidable effect of having a lot less players online. I would also think the lag would be in part due to this - there are now a lot less good hosts in matchmaking, and it is conceiveable that those who take their gaming seriously and would pay for decent internet connections would also be among the first adopters of the newer console and game. I can't tell you that for certain, obviously, but your problems are at least in part to do with a shrunken player base.
