A Modder Runs Halo 2 in HD on the Original Xbox Console

You can also do the same by following the modder's steps.

Modder Ryan Miceli, known as grimdoomer on GitHub, has brought the dream of playing Halo 2 in HD on the original Xbox to life with modifications that he has detailed on GitHub and his blog.

The mod enables support for 480p, 720p, and 1080i resolutions, triple buffering for improved FPS performance, GPU overclocking, increased RAM utilization with a 128MB RAM upgrade, faster HDD transfer speeds, customizable field of view, and split-screen divider options.

It actually should be mentioned that while the mod enhances graphics beyond the console's original capabilities, Halo 2 was already pushing the limits of the Xbox upon its release.
