First thought would be yea, but remember you share lives in firefight.... Get major noob team and you might have a bad round.....

I want Firefight in matchmaking Because he's like the right hand side of masterchief

Firefight is built on top of the campaign networking model. There's no matchmaking functionality.
That's from Urk, posted on page 7 of this thread. Looks like there won't be any matchmaking.

Yes, but I hope it has 4 player splitscreen too. In addition, I want it to be atleast 6 player coop not 4.


None of that will happen, sorry. *sad face* I think MM for firefight would be good but what if you get a person that just kills you or annoys you? i think the way its being set up will just be fine.

Wow I didn't think a ninja could be so STUPID?

Please include mtchmaking for firefight


I would even be willing to endure a delay for it to happen


The poll indicates a clear desire to make it a feature and several people will be dissapointed without it

Honestly I can't believe they aren't adding in match making for this. Really, I was pissed when they didn't have it for custom games, but know this!?! I am not buying this game anymore. This, Alan Wake, and Splinter Cell were the only games I was looking forward to out of E3 but -blam!- this game. I'm not paying 60 -blam!- dollars for 6 hour campaign and the same multiplayer that has been out for 2 years

I know. It's one of the best Halo's to date.

Definitely, it's at least in the top 5.

Then i guess we're gonna have to settle for the bootleg version of campaign matchmaking, the tried-and-true Yelling into the forums, "anyone wanna play Firefight with me?"

Teamwork means staying out of my way.

If there is no matchmaking for this then there is no WAY Halo: ODST is worth a full price game.

There will be matchmaking for Firefight so you can link up with random people.

No there won't. Look at the second post on page 7

I'm sure it'd be a pain to code it to work correctly but Halo always took the extra step and made sure everything was smooth. Either they couldn't get it to work up to Halo standards, or the timetable didn't give them enough time to finish putting that feature in.

Granted, I'm sure we'd love to see it happen!!!

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

One of the reasons why Gears of War has a really good horde mode is because there is matchmaking so you can find a full team.

I am a major fan of all of Bungie's games. I am sorely disappointed that they still haven't added in a custom game finder/matchmaking for cooperative game modes. This has been the one feature in the Halo games that has been disappointing. Both in Halo 2 and 3 I wished that I could create a custom game and wait for random people online to join up. I understand people say play with your friends, but my friends don't always play the game when I want to play it and then I am screwed over.

Halo 3 added 4 player Coop campaign which was great, but after a few months if I wanted to play coop no one else would want to. The same thing is going to happen to ODST. After one month most people won't be able to play Firefight or Coop campaign due to many people moving on to other games or just playing competitive multiplayer.

This is very disappointing and shocking. I am glad Bungie finally added in the Survival mode everyone has been asking for, but people also wanted it to have some form of matchmaking. Imagine playing Horde mode or -blam!- zombie without the option of having matchmaking. Some people are fortunate enough to have friends that will keep playing those modes, but not everyone has that luxury.

I will still get the game knowing that for a few weeks I will have fun with it. Here's hoping Bungie adds matchmaking for it in the future.

Death to rank junkies.

No. Sorry i would rather go with friends rather than go with morons that i know will betray me. It would be more fun with friends anyway.


Agreed. Most of the time, you would be forced to play with idiots that would only drain lives.

So I can only play it with online friends? Wow that is VERY stupid....

The only innovative part of multiplayer put into this (FULL PRICED) expansion and I can only enjoy it is I have some friends online that will play it with me?

I can understand storyline co-op alright but this is just pretty ridiculous...

^^^ I could not agree anymore with Thrustsaber7...

The universe is probably littered with the one-planet graves of cultures which made the sensible economic decision that there's no good reason to go into space--each discovered, studied, and remembered by the ones who made the irrational decision.

most of my friends won't be getting odst, even back in the day when they all were on halo3, it was a hassle just to get co-op campaign going. This is a shame. Right now Gears of War 2 is just the opposite, horrible online play, but great co-op and horde which is basically the same thing as ODST's firefight, however with MM. I was mostly getting ODST for this new game feature, guess I'll treat ODST like halo wars, and rent it, then forget it.

Ever?


Ever. Campaign uses an engine build for Campaign, which uses a maximum player party of 4, and no Matchmaking. Bummer, I know.

great, couldnt wait for ODST, but now im paying $60 for a beta and a little open world, with 1 vs 100 on firefight :(

i can see it now: HAL0 M4N Firefight highest wave - 2 (because the first round was always grunts)

why's my name HAL0 M4N again, oh yeah, Halo was the best series EVER, it has never dissapointed me, but because of this firefight crap, im starting to begin to wonder if Halo is the best series. ill know when Bungie puts Firefight on Matchmaking
