I really hope there will be some kind of matchmaking and some Ranking too. If not, Firefight will become boring very soon.

Another (less good) option would be to be able to create and join games like in many other multiplayer games.

btw. is it necessary to play with at leat 4 players??? Or can I try with only two or three or even alone?

It's annoying having to ask friends if they want to play.!


To think how kids ever got by, in our species' several hundred thousand years of existance, before the invention of matchmaking.

You will manage, as every human child before you has.

it's easy finding people who want to play


They may want to play but it is rare that you find anyone in any of these wave based game modes that wants to play with you. Sure, they may stick by for fire support but as far as social interactions go, which make up the foundaiton of any co-op experience, its abhorrently pathetic. You might as well be playing with AI's because they would do about as much as any matchmade co-op companion.

As such, even though it is less convenient the game ultimately benefits from not having matchmaking because the fewer games you would have are, in general, much, much more enjoyable than any you would find with faceless strangers.

That's not the point. I want to play this game mode, not the people! Like I said before, I only played Halo's co-op campaign once because after that, nobody wanted to play. I dont want to have this problem again. I don't care if im playing with strangers, aliens, or the damn boogeyman lol As long as i get to play this anytime I want, it's all good. Im not asking for too much because other games have this, why can't they add that to this game? it's ridiculous.

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


no it's not.

There is Matchmaking on the Halo 3:ODST campaign disc. I believe it's for Firefight Matchmaking. Or hell, even campaign.

You see. What if matchmaking for Firefight is accessed via the Firefight menu itself?

The fact that no one from Bungie (Urk!!!) is confirming or denying this gives me some hope. It makes no sense to not have matchmaking.
