I also maintain that Chrome is weaksauce, and IE9 is fast and works very well

I believe it is only for you and your friends.

ive always tried that and it never works. People I dont know but send a request to after an awesome game never want to play with me again. Idk its weird, im the same way, I only like playing with people I know.
Well I hear you there, but it's easier than all that. Actually, Bnet is great for that. Hit up the classifieds or just get to know some people like you and invite them to a game later. I met my main group through Xbox.com's forums in fact.

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

There is no matchmaking playlist for Firefight. You have to invite people to play.

but think about it if there was matchmakin for firefight would be bad because you could get people who don't use mic's so the chances r ye wouldn't get fair

Matchmaking is an option. If you can't get friends to play with you at that time. Its an option! It's worked well in other games and Halo 3 has by far the best matchmaking out of all of those.

Please bungie.
