I know firefight will be bored soon, just enough time for wish a new game...


Unfortunately for Bungie, without matchmaking for firefight, that new game will be COD. :-)

Horde has problems with drops and that can be annoying, but drops happen usually in the first 5 waves, so no big loss you just go on to the next match. In my exp maybe one out of every four matches drops out. Firefight, however is no Horde. I've only played it once. It didn't take me long to track down some folks on these forums, and while that was beyond ridiculous I was struck by how much no fun I was having playing the game. Bungie needs to up the ante on the achievmens in a future DLC. what makes Horde so good is that the majority of acheivements for it require you to surrvive all 50 waves. We hit 200,000 in less than 30 minutes and then we all bailed. There was no incentive to keep playing, becasue a.) we were bored and b.) there was no crazy hard acheivement we all just had to have. FIX THIS! Matchmaking, 3 new maps, and 250 new Firefight only acheivements that require you to complete the entire thing. I'd gladly pay for it.

Why did they say firefight is like horde? There isnt even matchmaking. Because yes, playing single player is not fun.

Anybody know if Bungie has released a statement about this? Or are they just ignoring it. And when I say address it, I don't mean some PR news blast, like a real concerted effort to explain the logic behind it. I'm about ready to go pick up a PS3 for Uncharted 2 and forget about my 360.

A Matchmaking would be nice, or at least something like Gears of War or Unreal Tournament 3

CMON Bungie!!!

it doesent even have to be proper matchmaking, just some means of finding random players

  • 10.21.2009 3:23 PM PDT

For me this game is missing MM as much as it is missing a ranking system,as well as better achievments(like 1000000 campaign and firefight kills...they give replay value) and some dl content would be nice charcters and maps based on the larger h3 multiplayer maps would be sweet(valhalla, sandtrap and avalanche maybe all slightly modified).

I really, really want to play Firefight, but I can't seem to get three friends together all at the same time.

  • 10.21.2009 4:05 PM PDT

It Doesn't Matter!!!

If you don't have three friends who play ODST.

then you sir, fail.

Armor Lock isn't overpowered. You just suck at Reach :)

Reach isn't bad, you're just a BK :)

For my gamertag, look up "Ghoulishtie"

Firefight is built on top of the campaign networking model. There's no matchmaking functionality.


The most beautiful post I have yet to see in this forum. Now hopefully some of the 'GIMIE MM FOR FIREFIGHT' threads will stop.

It will not because it's BS, and many of us don't buy that some sort of in game matchmaking/player finding system cant be implemented.

Seeing as urk himself posted that, and they are already in the process of making Reach, I highly doubt seeing MM for firefight. Besides, it would fail horribly. Quitters, betrayers, away from game(ers), jerks, etc.
