Assuming you are talking about Halo 2 because thats the forum your in, Bungie.net is showing 2,362 people playing right now so I'm guessing the answer to your question is no.

Ive been trying to play halo 2 online for the past week or so just for kicks, and it says theres an error connecting to xbox live. My other xbox 1 games seem to work just fine so idk.

I was assuming they shut it down for all but active members.
Do you guys have any friends that can get on halo 2 to make sure?

It seems like its working fine. There were over 27000 games of H2 played in the last 24 hours. Most of the time people get an error for a few reasons. They don't have all of the maps for the game, they are not connected to XBL, XBL is having problems, or they need to clear the cache on their box, then redownload the maps and updates for the game. Sometimes you can also get an error if there are not enough people online when you are trying to play. There are times when there are less than 100 people playing worldwide so finding a match would be almost impossible anyways. If none of those things help figure out why you are getting an error when you try to play you should contact xbox support.
