Why is anybody even voting "No" on this?? I mean seriously, even if you have enough friends to play firefight with most the time, wouldn't it be nice to at least HAVE the matchmaking option available? You could always still have the option to play by "invite only". Halo 3 has THE best matchmaking/servers/after-action stats/etc available (not necessarily saying the gameplay is better, with games out there like COD4), and Bungie couldn't manage to put in Matchmaking? That should've been a given with ANY game they put out, since it's their bread and butter. When I started playing this for the first time on the release day, I thought "Wait a minute....surely I'm missing something here. Where's the matchmaking?". But alas, they actually left it out, and I found myself playing through Firefight alone, and sending invites to people I didn't know through my friends' friends-list....none of which accepted. And why should they?--I usually ignore random gameplay invites from people that aren't on my friends-list too.
What the crap were you thinking Bungie? Time to ante up and listen to the people playing your games.
