I thnk Bungie should make an update to Halo 2 so that you can play co-op on xbox Live.

Shouldn't be too hard to do.
I think Halo 2 had the option to take your party to the Campaign lobby, but it would disband your party once you switched lobbies.

The problem though, is would Bungie care enough to work on an update for an outdated game?

"The enemy came. He was beaten. I am tired. Goodnight."

"I think Reach is a pretty cool guy. eh drives froklifts and doesn't afraid of anything."

Two problems with that:

1) The game did not ship with the feature at all, therefore it is not most likely designed for online co-op. And besides, at the time of the game's release, online co-op may not have even been possible for the game. Even if Internet connections are better nowadays, the game itself may not be capable of online co-op. It would take a lot of time to change the game's code, people would need to be paid money, and we don't even know if things would work well then- it would just be easier to buy Halo 3. (I know that's a sloppy explanation but I'm too lazy to split it into bulletpoints.)

2) Halo 2 on Xbox Live is seeing the end of its days. Halo 2 is actually the reason why our Friends Lists can't go above 100 friends- Halo 2's limit is 100, and that number can't be changed. So to cease the complaints, Microsoft are going to cancel Xbox Live support for Halo 2 (as in, shut down the servers).

tl;dr - It's going to be too much work, and the Halo 2 servers are closing down soon anyway.
