it depends on what resolution you're talking about, and what the rest of the lappy's specs are (primarily CPU speed.) if its a core-2 duo processor i imagine you will be okay.
gaming laptops, while extremely cool, just don't make sense to me as they are bloody expensive and your upgrade path is limited - not to mention the general lifespan of a laptop is far shorter than that of an equivalent desktop. but you've made it clear that you don't want to shell out 1K+ on your new toy and i think that's smart, especially if the only game you'll be playing is Halo.
that said, i can't be 100% certain that the integrated GPU will be up to snuff, but i imagine you could get decent frame rates at 800x600 with med-to low details providing your processor isn't a worthless sack of excrement.
good luck.
