Then you can go crawl in a corner with your own little controller by yourself while we have fun playing the game over matchmaking.

Seriously, though, if you don't want matchmaking, just don't use it.

I'd love it. I made quite a few friends through Gears of War's Horde so Firefight matchmaking would be awesome.

w00t w00t to all the psychotic warthog drivers out there like me

yes, firefight definitely needs matchmaking, if it didnt, it wouldnt kill it, but it would be much better with it

Wait, did Bungie ever confirm if matchmaking will be an option for Firefight or not?

No. This thread is a way to let them know that the community wants matchmaking for Firefight and that they should implement it.

  • 06.07.2009 8:55 AM PDT

Yes. Especially now that ODST is being sold at the full price for a game. While Bungie may have shyed away from features such as this because ODST is just an expansion, they may as well add a whole bunch of cool features now that it's being sold at the full price.

I hope Fire Fight gets its own playlist like Horde does in Gears 2. Because most of the time I don't have 3 other friends on to play with. I don't even have 3 friends on my friends list, lol!
But it would be logical for Fire Fight to have its own playlist. Bungie just wants to keep us on edge as to this, they don't want to release all the information at once.
Edit: However, the actual matchmaking is on the seperate disk, so how might that work? see the delema?

As I understand it, that disk is basically just Halo 3 multiplayer - so one of your friends who doesn't have Halo 3 could buy ODST and play normal Halo 3 multiplayer with just that disc, which also contains all the maps. I don't really see putting matchmaking in as a problem; it's not like Firefight is isolated from Live, you can do your own private matches.

It could work as though each game, private or public, was its own matchmaking game, and if you had less than four total people, you could choose whether or not you wanted to look for other people. It certainly doesn't sound that hard to accomplish, although I really don't know because I have no experience developing games.

well people once again you are ingnorent to the fact. mathcmaking is in halo 3 and firefight is in ODST bungie will not make new matchmaking.Plus i think a little mix to the old school would be a nice and fun experience for us halo fans. firefight sounds fun and a bit challanging i like the idea

  • 06.07.2009 9:19 AM PDT

That was the worst throw ever, of all time. -Red vs. Blue

Bungie doesn't need "new matchmaking" for firefight. In fact, they wouldn't even need ranks - all it would need to be was a system that would find four players and put them together in a game. They could also have something similar to a custom game browser - no need for an automatic searching tool.

I will be there when Bungie takes over the world.

Yeah that would be cool but I am not to concerned because I will probably only play it with friends anyways.

  • 06.07.2009 5:03 PM PDT

OMG it would be AWESOME!!!

  • 06.07.2009 5:04 PM PDT

Four shots, four kills, reload, repeat. This is the work of a sniper.

Yes, although I doubt it will happen. I personally won't have much trouble finding friends who want to play, as a lot of my friends are Halo-people. However, it would be a lot easier when no one is on if we could just enter what difficulty we wanted and we found a matchmade game, like in GoW 2.
Edited for grammar.

Maybe not even that.

What Gears of War 2 does for Horde is that when you choose to matchmake, its automatically in Normal.

For Firefight, you choose to matchmake, it will also be in Normal. None of the Secondary Skulls will be turned on and you get to Veto the map they give you once.

It fits so snugly with the current Halo 3 matchmaking system and well, honestly, Bungie has no excuse to not include it.

  • 06.07.2009 5:09 PM PDT

Man cave.

I hope it will allow searches to find an online party instead of just going in with a party beforehand.

You should be able to search for different difficulties though. I don't always want to play normal Firefight with random other people when I go into Matchmaking.

Agreed. It would get boring much more quickly without the challenge of heroic and legendary.

Does anyone even look at these?

Hell yes. This'd be awesome, I loved CoD5 zombies until I realised I had to go back to Halo.
