How to Play Online with Other People on Xbox Live?

Ok I just bought my first xbox 360 friday and I set up a Xbox live account. And I bought halo but how do I get online with other people in the lobby and play in their party's??

Thanks! And remember this is my first ever Xbox 360 so I don't know how stuff works but I've played on my buddy's a long time ago but he always set it up.

Help! And thanks!

Suggestion:

If by "set up a Xbox live account,' you mean you upgraded from silver (free) to gold (you had to pay something or use a card) then you are ready to play online!

Make sure your xbox has a connection. Either use a wireless adapter or plug your xbox into your router.

Pop Halo into your Xbox. Run the game as normal. On the title screen, go to matchmaking. Look for a playlist you like (I'd start out with something normal like squad battle … avoid team swat and snipers for now…trust me).

Hit search or start matchmaking.

you need to become an xbox live gold member. There is a card you can buy at most electronic stores even at wal-mart. Or you can buy with off your xbox using a credit card. Once you set it up everything else is easy.
