Blarg!!!..... Who's got a Cookie?

No I'm good with picking my friends and going at it and we normally set up a date to play so I'm good. Besides I don't want to play with the typical homophobic, racists, little kids to play with when it comes to strategy. Regular Halo 3 is fine for that cause that's why I mute people.

no MM= no jerks,, no noobs, no little kids screamingno quitters . this was a + for ODST well done bungie.

besides, the most of the time getting a strategy with people you don't know isn't quite easy, since most of halo players are (here it goes again) jerks, noobs, little kids screaming or quitters. so people would just complain about the people they met suck or where idiots bla bla bla....

So lets set this straight I betrayed you and your mad....its infection...
do you want to be a zombie ???

Xero Link

No I do not want it in Matchmaking.

Have your tried playing Hoard or -blam!- Zombies with people you dont know ?

EPIC FAIL !

A lot of the people there don't like to share ideas. Meaning if we are doing something wrong or its not working , and you point out a different way to try it everyone either quits, or even better does things to cause you problems personally. ( Halo 3 = Friendly Fire )

Left 4 Dead had friendly fire.

It also had matchmaking.

I see no problems with what happened there. And the excuse they gave on kotaku (aside from it being a rewrite of code) is completely invalid. I would enjoy playing with strangers because you can't always get 4 friends together to play. Firefight should be playable whenever you want, not something you have to work to put together. Yeah, you'd like to play with your friends, but you'd LOVE to be able to PLAY in the first place.

And even then, the rewriting of code isn't even a good excuse. If you're a decent company who listens to your community, you'll do what you can to help instead of brushing it off as "Go make friends on our forums!"

I payed for your game. Do the majority of us a favor (1,000 people thus far) and help us out, instead of brushing us off.

[Edit]
And to everybody saying Matchmaking only brings "n00bs," you don't HAVE to use Matchmaking. You CAN play with just friends.

There's really no reason to NOT use matchmaking. It helps the community connect with others, helps people find games faster, helps people not have to play Firefight by themselves, etc.

Yea it would b cool but the bad thing is that in firefight if someone leaves/ lags out then the game ends...

Nope. I kind of like not having matchmaking for Firefight, less random, screaming, annoying little kids.

  • 09.20.2009 6:32 AM PDT

And as Finishing touch! God created the Dutch!

Bungie.. plz make Matchmaking for firefight it sucks without and im not buying the game if there's no matchmaking

  • 09.20.2009 7:17 AM PDT

Yes I just want to play I dont care who I get matched up with

  • 09.20.2009 7:22 AM PDT

I think It must be , but you could choose play with friends or play with other people...

No, you idiot, matchmaking isn't mandatory. A matchmaking option, to which you can choose to be paired up with randoms. That way, you can still organize your games with your tons of friends and I can play with people because I have no friends.

It's a win-win. Except Bungie has to do some work, which (in my opinion) they should be doing to ensure top-quality in their game.

  • 09.20.2009 12:54 PM PDT

Here is how you can have your matching making. Go into Fire Fight on the easiest mode. Then when it starts, start killing one another(Free for all) and whoever is the last one alive, gets to suffer through waves of Covevant. And yes, my friend and I will surely do this now and then.

  • 09.20.2009 12:57 PM PDT

not really it could end up like gears 2 horde

  • 09.20.2009 1:00 PM PDT

Why isn't there matchmaking for firefight because they can quickly add it in an update

  • 09.20.2009 2:12 PM PDT

life can be pain and suffering or fun and happiness but your in pain and suffering became my fun and happiness

fire fight will be just fire fight, it wasnt neccesarly made for matchmaking because it waz meant to chill with your buds and stuff, i have listened to my fkn 7 ft cousin devin always asking me if we are going to kill the aliens and not each other......well guess what we are going to be killing the aliens and instead of running through a entire campaign by myself while he humps a fkn door knob,we will spawn i will get my -blam!- and he can sit and run in fkn circles while his distraction lets me get a shot at the chieftens dome..

To the poster above me, please learn the English language or to at least stay on topic.

As for Firefight and matchmaking, I'm sure Bungie could think up some way to incorporate a way to connect four people together. Even if it's different from the multiplayer's matchmaking.

But I doubt they want to. Lazy -blam!-.

You guys just don't understand do you? The matchmaking system and the Campaign system(which Firefight is based off of) are not compatable. Its like trying to play a super nintendo cartridge on a PS3. It's impossible.

Well I picked up ODST at midnight and geared up for what I thought was going to be an amazing experience. My friend and i joined up and started the campaign played through some levels and thought it was great. Then we decided to try firefight. Thats when it happened! We expected to have been partied up with more people and to our HORROR there was no matchmaking. WTF Bungie you really screwed me!!! How the hell do you expect me to enjoy firefight when only one person on my friends list is playing the damn game. You put all this time and effort into making a great mode for us to play and then you half ass the delivery to us. YOUR LOYAL FANS!!!! I DEMAND MATCHMAKING GIVE IT TO ME OR I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER BUNGIE GAME SO HELP ME GOD. I'M SO PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW AFTER HAVING SPENT 60 BUCKS OF MY HARD EARNED CASH FOR YOUR HALF ASSED BULLSnIT!!! GIVE ME MATCHMAKING. Get the useless employee who decided on not including it and fire them give them no severence pay just fire them and throw thier crap out the window and boo them in shame. I can't believe you did this to me bungie. I expected this kind of crap from epic but not you. I feel like such a fool for having wasted my sleep time to pick this garbage up at midnight. I'm going to give you 2 weeks to patch this. 2 WEEKS BUNGIE!!!!! If i don't have a patch then your game is going to end up at a gamestop on top of a million other copies from people who played the campaign and then returned your trash. Halo REACH I DON'T EVEN CARE ANYMORE!!!! YOU BROKE YOUR TRUST WITH ME BUNGIE SO DON'T EXPECT ME ON THE NEXT TOUR OF DUTY. CLEARLY NO ONE DID A USER SURVEY FOR YOUR COMPANY OR YOU WOULD HAVE ALREADY RELIZED THIS TO BE A PROBLEM AND CORRECTED IT LONG BEFORE RELEASE. Do you realize that if people don't get matchmaking then your game will not get played 6 months down the road. Idiots!!

  • 09.21.2009 11:57 PM PDT

EXACTLY! I too got the game at the midnight release, bought it mainly for firefight! NO MATCH MAKING!? WTF! why the hell would they do such a dumbass thing!
