Basing off the Creamer article, I have to still say I want ODST to have MM in Firefight. While I now understand the severe technical difficulties behind performing such a feat, I really do think it would be worth it. Not only that, if Firefight is based off the co-op experience that is meant to be shared with friends, how can we find friends to share it with if ours aren't on? What if we didn't have any?

Its a good idea but it might turn up like -blam!- zombies where you rarely get a game with people who have mics or people will just skrew around on it and you wont be able to get a decent game

Ima Liftin' With Mah Forklift!

MM for firefight isn't quite possible. although it seems awesome, bungie has said that they couldn't due to some severe technical difficulties. now im not saying they won't in the future but as of now there isn't.

Step up or frak off!

Matchmaking for Firefight is essential if Bungie wants ODST to keep up at the top of the online playlists. I hate to say it but I'm already getting bored with the game.

So yes please Bungie, for the love of the fans, add matchmaking to keep this great game going strong.

ACKNLOWDGE US BUNGIE!!!!! ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM!!!! WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!!! This will go down in gaming history as one of the greatest blunders ever made by a company. The last time I made a post was shortly after midnight after purchasing the game and discovering no Match Making (MM). Now it has been a good couple of days and still I am hampered by the same problem. Yeah the campaign is great so what. I stuck with you guys because of the multiplayer thats your bread and butter. Do you know how freakin hard it is to get 4 players to play Firefight online. Sure its easy finding people to play with in your offices but try coming out to the real world. I'm in the military got a wife and kid and plenty of responsibility. When I get a few precious moments to play I have to maximize my time. You have forced me to waste so much damn time looking for people to play with. It's only been a couple of days and I'm so frustrated by having to put halo3 in and talking to people asking them if they can party up with me so that we can then switch disks and start up a FF map. In my last post I gave you a week to come up with a solution, don't bother I'm trading this half done trash into gamestop towards the purcahse of Modern Warfare 2. Clearly what you are doing here is decieving the consumer and microsoft is helping. How funny was it when I saw an ad in XBox Live for a Firefight All Nighter. I realized that the game is being marketed as if there is matchmaking. First you lure us in and trick us then try to smooth things over with 3 maps on an extra disk. How about you keep the whole extra disk of maps which I already have since I HAVE HAD TO PURCHASE ALL YOUR MAP PACKS. KEEP THE DISK AND GIVE US MATCHMAKING. You guys are idiots. No one will be playing this after November NO ONE!!! MODERN WARFARE IS GOING TO BURY THIS GAME IN A DEEP GRAVE AND THE SAD THING IS I DON'T WANT IT TO, THATS BECAUSE I AM A HALO FAN, AND RIGHT NOW I FEEL SO CHEATED. WHAT YOU DID HERE BUNGIE IS YOU STOLE FROM ME YOU TRICKED ME BY HYPING UP FIREFIGHT. I paid 60 bucks for this? I paid 60 bucks for what? a 6 hour campaign? 3 maps? A game mode that i can only enjoy when the stars align and 3 other friends have the game and are online at exactly the same time as me? ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM!!!! Don't give me some jazz about rewriting code and how it would delay a game BS. THERE REALY IS NO POINT IS THERE. AS I SIT HERE WRITING THIS I REALIZE THAT I'M WASTING MY TIME. ITS TIME FOR ME TO ADMIT WHEN I'VE LOST. I WAS CHEATED OF 60 BUCKS FINE. IF I GO TO A RESTURANT AND I AM TREATED LIKE TRASH FINE. IF A CAR DEALER SELLS ME A LEMON FINE. IF I'M WALKING DOWN AN ALLEY AND I GET MUGGED FINE. I'VE LEARNED MY LESSON BUNGIE, I HAVE TO AVOID THE RESTURANT, NOT BUY FROM THAT DEALER, NOT GO TO THE WRONG PART OF TOWN, AND NEVER AGAIN BUY ANOTHER GAME FROM A COMPANY LIKE YOURS. I'VE BEEN WITH YOU SINCE THE BEGINING, AND NOW I SAY GOOD BYE, WE'VE HAD SOME FUN AND SURPRISES OVER THE YEARS BUT YOU'RE NOW THE FRIEND WHO I INVITED OVER AND THEN RETURNED MY KINDNESS BY STEALING MY STUFF. YOUR A THIEF A LAZY COMPANY AND CLEARLY ALL YOU CARE FOR NOW IS THE MONEY. CASH RULES EVERYTHING AROUND ME CREAM GET THE MONEY DOLLAR DOLAR BILL BUNGIE DOLLAR DOLLAR BILL BUNGIE DOLLAR DOLLAR BILL BUNGIE. GOODLUCK WITH REACH I WON'T BE THERE GO [=UCK YOURSELVES thief thief THIEF THIEF THIEF THIEF

Bungie needs to worry about some other things before fixing up a matchmaking but do agree that they should make it cause well like someone else mentioned, Trying to find three friends on that want to play it wont' be easy.

Firefight is one of the reasons I pre-ordered the game. Now no MM? I had no idea. The game is pretty useless for me without it. Bungie listen to your customers. WE WANT MATCHMAKING IN FIREFIGHT.

  • 09.28.2009 5:52 AM PDT

It is needed even if it is a simple lobby system. Don't tell me it can't be done because it can be done. I don't care if it takes 3-6 months bungie should patch odst with workable lobby/match matching and since odst and the halo 3 campagain are similar might as well patch both.

AT LEAST WRITE SOMETHING ON THE SITE SAYING YOUR GOING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I HOPE WHOEVER DECIDED TO NOT INCLUDE MATCHMAKING GETS HIT BY A CAR AND HAS TO LIVE THE REST OF HIS RETARDED LIFE IN A WHEELCHAIR THAT IS MISSING A SEAT CUSHION.

NO SEAT CUSHION FOR YOUR WHEELCHAIR AND I HOPE YOU ARE GIVEN A WAY OVERPRICED WHEELCHAIR THAT WAY YOU CAN FEEL THE SAME WTF EFFECT WHICH YOU HAVE MADE US ALL FEEL.

I wonder why no gold septagon for this thread? I guess Urk posted prior to becoming a full time employee.

Honsetly, matchmaking for Firefight doesn't appeal to me. I don't like playing with random people, it is just frustrating to me. I use matchmaking to find opponents, but Firefight has AI and fulfills that function for me. I don't want to be stuck with someone I don't know for multiple hours at a time.

I like the firefight, and totally dig the matchmaking aspect.

Also, I just saw that Microsoft is giving away 2000 copies of Halo ODST to students just for registering for a tech competition that they sponsor (Imagine Cup). You don't even have to compete in Imagine Cup...you just have to register. Pretty awesome. Worth a chance for all you students out there to win a free copy of the game!

I would like to invite you to the most active group there is, Black Water Ops.. Boasting over 3,000 members this is one of the fastest growing groups and proven to be one of the most active b.net groups. An amazing experience awaits you with weekly game nights, photo contests, and forging contests. This is one decision you won't regret.

No, I'm fine with it the way it is. And it can't be done.

I <3 you too Bungie

They would need to basically combine the custom games, and party features to make an interface that randoms parties and allows one leader to pick settings, boot annoying people in the pre-game lobby, and host the game. I doubt Bungie wanted to spend the time or money to make a brand new online interface, test it, and launch it. Implausible, however fun it may be to wish for it. I'm happy they didn't just release a half-hearted broken match-making system.

I <3 you too Bungie

Its so stupid how people always vote no on everything...

I mean, this is like saying


Do you want 1 million dollars or no? Then someone will just say no. lol

Seriously, if they put MM in firefight, that dosnt mean you have to use it.

  • 09.30.2009 12:32 PM PDT

Like halo games
like shooter games

yea more exp

more gunfight

Ah your speaking my language. Seriously, even if you would NEVER use MM in firefight because you "hate playing with randoms", then don't. For the rest of use who don't have at least 3 friends ready to play firefight at any given moment, I think I would like to play with 3 boneheads than not at all. Its really no different than MM in regular multiplayer (Maybe not on the technical side of things but..). I play Naazi Zombies and Horde online with randoms and it really isnt that bad.

I'm ok with there being no Matchmaking, but I would have like it better if we could have four player split-screen on one Xbox.

We need the old trip mine back.

It was stupid not to make it matchmaking. Whos stupid idea was that?

and to the guy saying they wouldve had to put work with leader and host maybe do it like a normal person.

Host connection.
Vote Kicking (not just host, people can vote) so 3/4 means hes gone

ANd matchmaking and having everybody vote for a specific map would be cool, everybody picks one different just throw and random one out of the 4. Also you would search for difficulties. Sounds easy enough to me.
