They should have this for Campaign too.
Sometimes you just don't have any friends online who want to play Halo..
Awesome idea

I would love matchmaking in firefight. It would make it easier to have people to play with. Very few of my friends play halo.

I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left.

Would be awesome.

I'm trying to think about how that would work. Sounds pretty intriguing though. I'd quite like that. Apart from it may end up being like Left 4 Dead, where nobody sticks together.
But you may find good people and make a great, GS earing, team.

I just noticed that this is something many people, including myself (probably more furiously than anyone else), have been asking for Matchmaking or at least some sort of confirmation about it and we have had no respond. Reminds me of the situation similar to when people were asking about 4 player online co-op in Halo 3. Bungie never responded right till the end, when they got everything sorted out.

Similar situation here? Maybe?








Hopefully?

Why was the poll option "Firefight sucks" put in? Seriously?

If they did, it would be like L4D's Versus Mode online, it would rock!
No, it'd be more like the main game, as there are no AI Covenant.

I hope. Everyone has the duty to keep this thread alive. Also, ODST will fail without this. It won't be able to beat GoW's Horde and CoD's Zombies.

Absolutly, though I'd like to know what the trashtalk would sound like then.

Speaking from personal experience in the Tom Clansey games, many of which have some form of matchmade co-op, while the idea seems interesting enough in theory, in practice it usually ends up with 4 guys all trying to be the hero at once with each one independantly dying and failing in that attempt, which ends up being no fun.

For something like firefight to really be fun you need some sort of mutualistic cooperation in mind when you set out against the covenant, something that is very hard to foster with only a few seconds of familiarity with your buddies if they've been put into your game through some sort of system, rather than your own efforts to build a team you actually want to play with.


All of the above is true, unfortunately. I still voted Yes regardless because there are people who need people to play with and itd be nice for them.

Though Id suggest people start making Firefight groups here at BNet in order to find people if your having troubles (Im sure theres at least one group out there already)

They didn't tell us what it was it could have been anything. Frankie gets scared easy incase you didn't know.

Totally. Most of time, you won't be able to get 3 friends who want to play it.

Yeah, since Halo 3 is the top played Live game again it's really hard to find 3 players. Maybe you just need more friends.

Never thought I'd see a Mythic Member flame someone.

I hope so, who has 3 friends always online and up for survival. It just seems stupid to not make it work through matchmaking. I'm guessing it will be though, Waw, L4D, and Gears 2 has it, and Bungie is better then them, right?

I'd like to thank Daniella, my special friend, and all the people at my first group, ODSTR. May the said group dominate BUNGIE Again!

COMPLETLY, 100%, i mean be honest people. the halo 3 campaign is awsome, but most of us only play matchmaking, or custom games.

Campiagn Kill Count :31,745. And growing.

The Revisionaries- One of the greatest screenshot groups on B.net. With 250 members and growing.

Oh I'm sure it will be there. Every other game has it, and Bungie's Matchmaking system is all about finding teams and making new friends. I can garuntee we'll see it.

I'll be too busy playing alone anyway.. I love playing survival modes by myself. :D.

Whoa, calm down. Not all of us populate our friend lists with random people we've met on Xbox Live. And regardless of how many friends you have, it's not like you're always going to be able to find three who want to play Firefight all the time.
