You can get slammed for chatting in some games if the people playing are really into it. Most folks don't mind a little socializing though (it's a game, right???). But if you're looking to TALK (yeah, as in words come out of mouth) you can get TeamSpeak and xfire; both run pretty well in the background of Halo if you have faster than a dial-up connection. Theres a stickied guide here, but I can't tell what ever happened to old teamspeak (think its still a work in progess). Try joining a clan; most of the bigger ones have teamspeak (or should).
