I was wondering if the Firefight mode is gonna have a matchmaking, or is it gonna be like Halo 3 co-op campaign where you can only play when u invite your friends?

If not, i guess im gonna have to make a lot of new friends!

My DeviantArt Gallery - For my Photoshop stuff, go have a look!

I hope there is a FireFight matchmaking, getting 4 friends together isn't always possible...

Four shots, four kills, reload, repeat. This is the work of a sniper.

Yes please.
But honestly, yes, sort of like the -blam!- Zombies matchmaking.
It would be very nice when you can't get a group together.

Rawr Im a dino!

Im pretty sure there wont be online matchmaking with this. I remember reading something that said that it you will only be able to find friends to help you. Also matchmaking is on the other disc in Halo 3 ODST

I only played Halo 3 co-op once because none of my friends wanted to play it. I guess im gonna have the same problem with this one.

There is still hope for matchmaking Firefight. I have the same problem as you and Bungie has yet to confirm or deny the Firefight matchmaking thing. My guess is that this is like Halo 3 4 player Co-op: They're working on it and will tell us when they're done.

No matchmaking for Firefight makes no sense whatsoever. It'll be a downgrade from other games we've played in the past with similar modes.

Its how we fall

pretty sure it wont be a mathcmaking feature. they would have announced it at E3!

although it would be a cool idea... if any of you have played Call Of Duty: World At War then you would kno about the Co-op campagin Zombies where you could search for a Online Match. that would be a great idea for ODST but its probaly too late in the programm now for new additions like that it would take forever to build the server for it.

As I said before, there was a similar situation with 4 Player Co-op in 2007. Nothing was announced during E3. They only announced that there will be Online Co-op. They only announced it until it was done, neither confirming nor denying the speculation.

I think the same thing's happening here.

I've already read all of the halo books today you stupid nerd. Plus Halo:Fall of reach twice.

If there isn't we're going to see loads of threads asking for players.

Yep. And just like during Annual, they'll ban whoever who does that and ask us to go to Classifieds. And just like during Annual, Classifieds will be a graveyard of -blam!- and no one will find a game.

Wait, of all things the word "-blam!-" is censored, for real?

I had a very similar thing, only I threw a 14 story building out of a pool and hit a kid on a paper aeroplane.


The Flood is just this awesome :D

I really hope that there is some sort of MM for firefight it was already tough enough trying to get players for the vidmaster annual

Unfortunately it isn't.

Bungie has specifically stated that Firefight will opperate exactly like campaign 4 player co-op. There will be no matchmaking.

"Undoubtedly this is the heretic's doing!"

It's fantastic Bungie finally included a Survival co-op mode but to not include matchmaking for it is going to be a step backwards. They should be smarter than this. Like someone else stated, it's not always possible to get together with 4 buddies for the game mode.

Yes, you could party up for it but I rather just go through matchmaking and get paired with randoms instead of having to play through a match and ask players to party up for Firefight.

  • 06.10.2009 6:44 PM PDT

if they do it don't make it like zombies where u play with people who just for the first time got a console in their life and it was there first time playing a console period.

If there isn't then having firefight in ODST is a waste of time, no point in having it. No one wants to play a game with the same 2 to 3 people over and over forever. If Bungie was smart they would have it, but most likely they wont.

Like alot of people, I only played Co-op once because noone wants to play.

I also don't feel like goin on this site just to ask people to play with me, come on Bungie, please, please, PLEASE have Matchmaking for Firefight.

It would be nice if they put in a section for the discluded games such as Infection and Juggernaught since those are generally fun but hard has heck to get a group for.

Here's one to the product page.

"Drop feet first into a new way to play Halo with the cooperative campaign mode, Firefight. Form a squad of your friends over System Link or Xbox LIVE"

Now before you get into a tiff about "oh, they didn't specifically say that there wouldn't be matchmaking!!! LOLZ" keep in mind that they also didn't mention anything about tea parties and bright pink teddy bears either, but that doesn't mean that there's a possiblity that any of those things will show up in ODST.

I hope you're wrong! lol
I don't see the point of having this mode when you can't even play random people online. It's annoying having to ask friends if they want to play. Im sure they got this idea from games like Gears of War 2(Horde), Left4Dead(survival mode), and even COD(zombies). It's pretty much the same. People love it cuz it's fun, and it's easy finding people who want to play. Not having matchmaking is taking away a big part of the success that this type of game mode has had. It has become one of my favorite features in a game.

PLEASE BUNGIE DON'T SCREW THIS UP!
