Bravo ghostvirus,
Link to his post
*applause*

You expressed the concerns of us Pro-MM quite elegantly.

I can understand why Bungie would not take the time to develop the game into something worth the price tag, but I will not address it here. After all, it is a business.

As for everyone else against MM support, who do you think you are to think your personal preference sets the standard which limits our options? You'll take away our freedom to choose, and for what? To "protect" us? Protect us from what? Strangers? I am far more threatened by those who speak out against my liberty to choose; this is a threat far greater than an army of noobs, cheaters, betrayers, and the incompetent.

If you don't want to play MM Firefight then don't. If MM was implemented why would you care anyway? You won't run into us and we won't run into you. But don't try to force down your belief of an ideal experience on the rest of us. Your ideals here are based on options, not facts.

Matchmaking Campaign.
Matchmaking Firefight.
Matchmaking Custom Games.
Matchmaking umm...

  • 08.28.2009 11:22 PM PDT

It's like those hip musicians with their complicated shoes!

If violets are blue, then what colour is violet?

People complain about other players betraying and not playing like a team already. Imagine what that would be like in Firefight, where you only have seven lives.

  • 08.28.2009 11:25 PM PDT

Were it so easy.

Yeah! Kind of like Rainbow Six Vegas match searches to do 4 player co op in terrorist hunt.

IM REALLY CONFUSED!

Will i be able to literly play against other players like in Halo 3's matchmaking?
And the matchmaking we are voting for is the one that finds other players for Firefight?
Because if you cant play against other players then they have lost my vote. im not buying it.
I know you get Halo 3 disc with multiplayer but seriously virtually everyone buying odst has halo 3...
BUNGIE PUT MULTIPLAYER IN FOR -blam!- SAKE!

"Undoubtedly this is the heretic's doing!"

Yes you can play against other players in the rest of Halo 3's gametypes, and will be paired up against them with the matchmaking already in place.

There is no matchmaking for Firefight which is what this thread is about and urging Bungie to put it in the game somewhere down the road, at least patch it in.

It's to late to put the MAtchmakingi n UNLESS you want them to delay the game. I'm sure you wouldn't want that.....

I'd rather have it delayed than have something that important absent. Otherwise they can go the capcom way and release multiplayer post release

QP

That would be awesome...but what if most of the players online were already in a firefight game and lets sat I logged on and waited for teammates. Most people would be already in game...so I would have to wait a long time. I voted yes...but I really dont care. Im fine with teaming with friends.

You could just make a forum asking if anyone good wants to play firefight...then get their gt and become friends, and play!

PS...Whoever voted firefight sucks, YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING!!!

Hell yes! FF without matchmaking blows.

  • 09.13.2009 11:13 AM PDT

You can just go to recent players you played with on xbox live and invite them to play firefight problem solved

Last time i checked,you could only have two people per consle and play with two other people online.

  • 09.17.2009 8:01 PM PDT

How could you possibly answer yes to this?
Who wants to play that long cooperatively with a stranger?
Don't you people have friends to play with?

Firefight is built on top of the campaign networking model. There's no matchmaking functionality.
Nor will there ever be. Not later, never (no, DLC is not even a possibility.) It would take too drastic a change for the game. Firefight is good enough with no matchmaking- and really, it's 4 people. We need that done for us now?

Dear Lord, some of you guys just don't get it do you? It would be impossible to put matchmaking into Firefight as it is. ODST is BUILT OFF THE HALO 3 ENGINE!!! This means that short of having to go back and rebuild the entire game, (AI functionality, computing, processing, and the works) matchmaking is not a possiblity. I for one am fed up with the people who are complaining. Your going to buy it anyway, we both know it, so stop -BLAM-ing about it. If you wanted matchmaking in ODST, your entitled to your opinion, but I'd rather not wait another 1 1/2+ years for Bungie to work out all the kinks. So shut it guys. They've done what they do best. Take it as it is or don't take it at all.

  • 09.17.2009 8:42 PM PDT

Noobtacular.

Definitely, I'd love the option. Should be like Horde mode in that regard, too; you CAN have five friends you know, but if you WANT to go in for matchmaking with random people, you can do that. Only way you'll be able to always have a game in a long-term way unless you have ten billion active friends.

  • 09.17.2009 8:55 PM PDT

Self-proclaimed genius.
Roam the streets with a sign, "will love for false hope."

No. I prefer playing with friends.
Firefight is a friends only experience.

Bungie explained exactly why they're not able to add this.

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


I can't say the same for myself. The majority of my friends will be invite spamming me because they want me on their team so bad.
^_^

I don't care about the no matchmaking part, but having more than 4 people would be pretty cool, IMO.
