I think they covered it pretty well up there. Xfire's just an IM program that can be used alongside and with most PC games, including Halo PC and Halo Custom Edition. It allows in-game IM services as well as optional voice chat (with microphone, of course).
To be completely frank, though, I would consider a few things. Firstoff, how good a game system your laptop is. If your laptop is lower-end, as in, you turn every single detail to "low" and it still runs with lag, then having an extra program taking up precious processor power and RAM isn't a good idea, no matter how convenient. Also, I'm not sure if Halo should be run alongside Xfire on such narrow bandwidth. Perhaps someone else can tell you if you can run both at the same time using 56K
