I hear you OP. If there's no matchmaking, I'm not buying this as after the campaign, there is no more replay value for me.
Know why?
Cause, I have loads of friends. We play a lot. Whenever we get the chance. Thing is, whenever we get the chance is not a lot of times. I live in Singapore. And all my other friends live in totally different timezones. It sucks. I can never get a party going. That's why getting Annual was a pain. Mods didn't allow posting in the Halo 3 Forum and the Classifieds is just a graveyard of -blam!-. Its useless going there.
Other games with similar modes such as Gears of War 2 and Call of Duty: World at War used Matchmaking and it worked out pretty well. Halo 3 has a much better and robust matchmaking offering that it makes no sense to ship Firefight with no matchmaking. Its a step back and Bungie has never taken steps back.
Well, Bungie has not denied it nor confirmed it. I'm thinking of this as a similar situation as 4 Player Co-op. They're putting off announcing anything until they get it right.
Please don't let me down Bungie :D
