Xbox emulators are worthless so for Halo 2 you will have to use the PC version. It isn't old enough to be shared here yet so you're pretty much on your own with that.
The other 2 titles are on PS2 but I have no idea if there are any emulation issues (PCSX2), you would have to look that up
Spoiler warning:
i already tried pcsx2 and they said i need a bios image. which i never had a ps2. so the answer is no, no i will never play those games again...... just great

It's normal that you would have to source platform bios for emus.
Sometimes uploaders will have emu + bios packages, but emu developers as a rule do not include bios for legal reasons.
Spoiler warning:
is there a reason why xbox emulators are worthless? i would really love to play halo 2 again. it was one of my top 5 favorite games. if i an xbox emulator, i might as well play the other 2 there too

They're worthless because nearly all games don't work at all, and the couple that do sort of work aren't exclusives iirc. I don't think any of them are still being developed but they had hardly any development anyway...better off using a real console.
As I said Halo 2 is on PC, the other 2 games have PS2 versions.

It's due to the XBOX programming being dependent on the VERY SPECIFIC hardware of the XBOX. Your computer has DirectX software that can be updated, the XBOX has DirectX HARDWARE that all games had to be built around. If you add or change anything in your DirectX software it can change the memory location of everything else, which would break XBOX emulation, not to mention emulating something requires more power than running the original hardware.
TL:DR? Buy an XBOX. They aren't very expensive and they run XBOX games like a dream. You can also get the XBOX modded to emulate systems up to SNES. There are Nintendo64 emulators for it but they are not good.
As an added bonus, once you mod your XBOX you can use your router to put games on the Hard drive to keep your XBOX DVD drive from wearing out, and Emuparadise has games available to download. Running from the Hard drive works even better than running from the DVD drive too, since your game is not going to get scratched or smudged.
