This game simply will not last once November hits. Firefight can only last as long as there are people who can party up to play it. With matchmaking it can last indefinintly as long as there are people playing.
Absolutely true. Once many stop playing, even if you have 4 friends that play often now, if half of them stop playing as often, you now don't have enough for a good firefight game.
The reason why gamers are so angry and feel cheated is because the feature of matchmaking in a co-op mode was to be expected, natural even.
It's an online mode for the game, it should absolutely come with MM.
And the beauty of it all is, you didn't have to use matchmaking if you didn't want to, you could always party up with friends. What strikes me is the naysayers who constantly shout you'll get stupid/teamkilling teammates with randoms. Well no one's holding a gun to your head and forcing you to play with randoms.
...and if you don't like the randoms, quit. This is NOT life or death, it's a game. NOT life or death...
Bungie really, really dropped the ball on this and rushed this into production to try and get $60 from people that may have only been able to afford either this, or MF2. I was initially disappointed with Halo 2 for not having a custom search and did not match you with players on a map you would like to play at that time. So I sucked it up and used matchmaking. H3 was an EPIC fail, and ODST has made things worse. It's the first Halo product I have not bought, and there isn't an ounce of regret.
