Maybe not on live but, over something called a tunneling system. The best part is, ITS FREE! but in order for this to work ,YOU HAVE TO HAVE A ROUTER FOR THIS TO WORK AND YOU MUST TAKE DOWN YOUR FIRE WALLS! here is a step by step tut. to get you started.

1.download this program Xlink kai.
2. register with the site here, *remember you use the tag you make on the site with the program*
3. set up the program
4.sign in and select the halo 2 server
5. go to your xbox or xbox360, put in halo 2 ,go to system link and wait for the games to show up.
6.join which ever one and then, ENJOY!

my Xtag is Madrox if you would like to play. you can also play Halo 1 on here as well.

Another alternative tunneling program is Xbconnect. I've been using that for over 3 years to play Halo 2 for free. Before Halo 2 came out I've played Halo 1 on it for a couple of years. The downside is I always have to keep a computer nearby to monitor XBC and read and send chat messages to people who don't have mics.

the thing about xlink is its not like that you do not need to select individual servers for each game. you just need to go to one server and then you can create/join games from your xbox.

Last time I checked the admin was kicking anyone hosting or loitering around in the global arena and forcing us to host privately because of modders. I was told a modder that joins a game in that arena is impossible to weed out unless they're in a private arena so I was told to manually join a server. Besides I'd like to know the my ping before I join a game.

they eventually gave up and said if a modder comes in its not there fault. they dont care anymore they just said if you dont want modders to join your games then go to a private arena.
