I hope Firefight has matchmaking, I don't want to be stuck not being able to play it when I have no friends online.

I'm pretty sure you can play it alone.

I don't care, probably a LOT more fun with other people.

From what it seems like I guess it'll be playable in Co-Op, solo, and Matchmaking.

I don't think it would be fun playing firefight with random people. Just get a bunch of people on your friends list and you should be fine.

All of you are missing the point. Sure you can play with your own friends. But, people like myself, who live in Singapore and most of their friends live in a completely different timezone, organizing a group of friends to go is like dropping feet first into hell. Once you're done, its awesome but the road to it sucks.

Therefore, Matchmaking is an option for those times. I don't want to be forced to play Firefight alone just because I live in a different country and can't get friends together. That's why Gears 2's Horde Mode worked well. Because you could just jump in and play, no need to organize a bunch of dudes together.

Matchmaking is a must.
