Backward Compatibility (Gaming)

How is the backward compatibility generally of Xbox and Xbox 360 games?

Halo / Halo 2 on the Xbox 360 slows to about 3 FPS if you are playing co-op in some places. Is that better on Xbox One X? Are most games supported?

It has to be better. (Correction: neither is backward compatible yet. But Halo 3, ODST, and Reach are better. I say this through first-hand experience.)

Beyond the superiority of the Xbox One X, backwards compatibility mode undoes whatever sins MS committed that put them behind this cycle. So many games run as well or better than they ever have before.

Here's the list. Spoiler: Halo 2 isn't on it.

Digital Foundry has made some great in-depth videos about this:
