This is caused by having really high frame rates during game play. I've been playing around with different frame rates at work and anything over 100 FPS gives me mouse stutter. 300 FPS and I can hardly look around.
Some of you have tried to get around this by setting your mouse sensitivity to 10 but that doesn't really fix the problem it just masks it.
I have a temporary sollution for you people by limiting the frame rates by turning Vsync on.
Edit: This only works in Fullscreen Mode.

Edit: Also, if you alt tab out of the game it will nullify the effects of this fix. You will have to relaunch Halo 2.
