The servers for this game were shut down a few years ago due to the failure of the GFWL platform.
Well this game has achievements and I just got all the ones I can get individually offline. But the bad thing is that there are 19 achievements that require a multiplayer service but since the servers are closed it is impossible to obtain it. I want to know if it is legal to obtain these achievements through modifying the game with mods. Since there is a mod created by the community called project cartographer (https://www.cartographer.online/)
Project Cartographer is a modification for Halo 2 PC (Halo 2 for Windows Vista) that restores online play (Microsoft abandoned the LIVE servers) and adds additional features that are not present in the base game.
What I would like to know is if it is legitimate to obtain these achievements in this way through this mod. What would happen if you get them? Could there be some kind of punishment or retaliation from Microsoft or Xbox that disables your account?

To my knowledge at no time does it state that it is forbidden to do this to obtain achievements that are discontinued.
For example MCC has a support for mods that is totally legal but to what extent is it legal to do what I want to do with a 2007 game.
My copy of the game is totally legitimate, I just want to get all the achievements of the game at 100% 
Someone who can help me or give relevant information? I do not want to have any kind of retaliation for doing this, if the risk implies that I may lose my account I simply will not do it

What did you run the games on to get the achievements? Will it work on Windows 10? I heard you still had to do it on Windows Vista so I wasn’t sure.
It can be run even on windows 10 but it has many compatibility problems that you must solve before.
Just watch videos on YouTube and they will tell you how to download it in the best way, although I tell you that it is a bit frustrating because you have to try different things to make it work properly. But after my torturous installation I can finally run the game without problems and even connect to xbox live from there.

Awesome, I still need to buy a copy anyway but I want the campaign achievements at least.
