Who thinks that there should be a matchmaking option for the FireFight game mode? Say you have only two people, and you want to join up with two other randoms. This would make the game more interesting and allow you to have a better experience.

What do you guys think?

It thought it was like that. You mean we have to get three friends together? Aww, that sucks.

I do not appreciate B.Net Group solicitation. If you ignore this and send me an invitation anyway, I will block communications with you.

That'd be ideal, but from what we've seen, it doesn't look like it'll have Matchmaking functionality.

Thats what it looks like. I hope Bungie actually looks at this thread or has it in there mind. It would be pretty nice though to have some randoms with you to play with.

they should have matchmaking.

I was thinking just the same thing, I´d like that Firefight has a Matchamking option to party with unknown people. Friends are not always available.
I really hope so, good thread. :)
P.S.: keep this thread alive

Spinning a plate on a stick is impressive, but if you try to spin three at once then you'll just end up digging porcelain out of your face.

This is a damn good idea. They were supposed to have a custom game search in the original Halo 3

Hopefully, if there isn't matchmaking, there will be an option to have AI teammates playing with you. Not likely, though.

I know. This would be a way to "redeem" themselves. lol

As long as the connection remained consistent, and you could get people who actually wanted to play the game the way it's intended, it's a good concept.

Still, I think it's about as likely as a searcher for Campaign Co-operative mode. I don't think it's going to happen, somehow.

yeah but the ai would prolly not be very usefull cuz they wouldnt use cover as much as a normal player

Also, Maybe they could allow a Join In Game Matchmaking option.

Yes! After reading today's update and seeing no mention of Matchmaking, I think I felt a tear as I probably won't be buying this if there isn't matchmaking. Sure the campaign will be great, but its just not possible to be able to organize a group of friends for Firefight whenever I want to. Living in Singapore makes it worse as all my friends live in different timezones.

As Bungie themselves said, this is a co-operative mode. I'm not going to enjoy it alone.

So please Bungie, add some form of Matchmaking ability. Some way for me to play with Random Dudes.
