For the record, when I say "lag," I mean network lag, bad ping, etc.... I don't mean low framerate. But anyway...
My ping jumps all over the place when I'm in multiplayer in halo 2. I don't have any other Microsoft "LIVE" games, but I don't have problems with any other game, whether it's Quake 4, World of Warcraft, or Halo 1 (not xbox version)
When i open up the scoreboard in halo 2, the ping meter shows, red, then yellow, then red, then green, then red, then green, then yellow... you get the idea.
It makes it unplayable, because my character bounces around all over the place.
I looked up the port forwarding for Windows LIVE and the ports on my router should be fine. And Windows firewall should be letting Halo 2 traffic through automatically.
Also, sometimes when I go to the "lobby", the list of games doesn't load. If I exit the multiplayer menu and then go back a second or third time, it usually works.
I wish I could give more detailed information, but I just don't know what could be causing the problem. There aren't many players online yet over the past few days, but I'm pretty sure I played on two different dedicated servers (on two different days) and had the same problem.
