if knowledge is power and power corrupts, isn't knowledge therefore dangerous?
Black Tower

it really seems like a custom game thing, like forge.
though if you had trouble finding a game of it, you could always invite frends, or play MM and find people willing to play ;)

Yeah, it does. 4 player multi-player.

This is the one thing that will make or break the game for me. ODST's campaign is going to be amazing. That's not a problem. But, if I can't play Firefight with Random People via Matchmaking, I will only rent ODST most likely.

I live in Singapore. A lot of people live in different time zones. Sometimes, Its just hell of a tough job to organize friends to play together. If I, and I'm sure a lot of other people, can't just jump into a Firefight game without trying to organize 3 other dudes to all come on and play at the same time, Its not worth my purchase.

if it doesnt have matchmaking, it wont be as good!


Yeah, it will be better because you can actually invite your friends rather than getting paired with random people.

Nvm, I don't think it's going to have matchmaking. But, it definitely has 4 player co-op.

Jesus loves you, but everyone else thinks you're a twat.

i dont think it would, chances are it will have the same time of "slow down lag" as halo 3 campaign does because it would be running under the same system of trying to keep all the AI in sync

Do the people who say you "can actually invite your friends rather than getting paired with random people" realize that they can likely do that even if matchmaking is there?

Matchmaking will be IMPERATIVE for this game mode. ITS A PAIN to get friends together unless all your friends are in one game. My friends are all over the place.

If Matchmaking is in there, it doesn't mean you need to use it. Its an option. Just like how Matchmaking in Halo 3 is an option. Hate playing with Random people so much? Just go get 15 other friends and play. It'll be a blast to organize, won't it?

I think its confirmed that Firefight has matchmaking though. They mentioned Firefight leaderboards. If its not Matchmaking, modding can take place...boosting...all sorts of crap.

Urk, would you kindly confirm this for us. I'm dying here.

In my honest opinion I do not think Bungie will implement matchmaking into Firefight for whatever their reasons being.
With that said,, the absence of matchmaking would be a huge blow to this new game mode. Alot of people(including myself) will have a hard time ever getting three other friends to be willing to play the four person coop mode firefight. I already have a hard time as it is getting that many people to play the existing four player coop.

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

No, it doesn't have matchmaking.

Scaring people with my idiocy daily.

It would be an incredibly bad idea to not include matchmaking with firefight imo. Survival mode in L4D is extremely popular, and so is horde mode in GoW2, people would love it and I don't see any downsides to having it in matchmaking.
