My gut tells me that you're fooling around, especially since the confirmations are seemingly from somebody you know and possible sock-puppets.
If it did happen...

Quotes are mostly from some old thread on the possibility of H2PC being ported to the Surface.
I dunno who did it but it got me interested that the apple logo was in H2, so I took a look at the font tables using some program i found for H2X and sure as shit it really is in the fonts.

Holy shit that video made me burst out laughing
They're probably teasing the community for something big coming up. (unrelated to the screenshots)
This thread is FTW ridiculousness, and I love it.
What's the source to that video? lol
Some show from the Netherlands called Boemerang but it is "fake".
343i: "We're shutting down the Halo 2 Online servers."
Community: "FUCK YOU"
343i: "Guys don't overreact, we have plans. We're just stopping the servers...."
Community: "FUCK YOU YOU'RE NOT THE REAL DEVELOPERS"
343i: "....So we can bring them back up with a rerelease of Halo 2 with modern netcode, better support, and a better editing kit."
I'll laugh if that's the case.
If that is the case, it would have been nice for them to say, "Yeah, not many players are on these days, so we're going to fix that. In the meantime, let's close up shop so we can work on it."
If that is the case (highly doubt it unless its going to steam) they should talk to the community and figure out what they want.
Last I checked, Games for Windows Live wasn't available for the Mac or iOS. If they were going to re-re-release Halo2, they wouldn't need to shutdown the LIVE servers that currently power MM unless it was just a stupid fucking update (which would require backwards compatibility, there by tying their hands) and was still going to run on the failboat that is G4WL.
No, they were going to shutdown the servers because they thought the community might not raise a stink or notice their numbers are off. But the community did raise a stink and then shoved real player counts in their faces.
sad part is they didn't officially announce that they were not going to shut it down and the population is even lower than before, and everyone thinks its offline.
i got like ~1620 unique players logged in less then a month when they announced the shut down, after were at a steady 40-50 fucking MS.

As for the source of the footage:

The part where it says iOS should be a dead give away that this is just them throwing salt in the wounds before finally putting a bullet through H2V's head. As if Halo 2 on a mac wasn't enough of a joke already.
