Okay. I'll get it out of the way right now. I was extremely psyched for ODST and Firefight. I still am. However, today, Urk dropped the bombshell that no, Firefight will not have matchmaking

Thanks, Prof. English. Appreciate it.

-_-

I'll change it though. It was originally 'An Open Request". Hence, the mistake.

I tried to smoke some hash, but the corned beef wouldn't light!

Good idea Sanjeev!

Thanks for the support guys. Perhaps if we could show that instead of whining about not having Matchmaking, we can settle for something a bit more tedious, but probably not as much as a workload on Bungie but still gets the job done,

Bungie may actually do this for us :D Right guys? :D

I just noticed this thanks to your link. That's a major bummer! :-(

As for a dedicated forum, I think it's kind of worthless because it'll become like the Classifieds: people will just avoid it to go to more popular forums and post their requests there against the rules.

My suggestion would be to amend the rules and just let people post their game requests on the dedicated game's forum. That probably won't happen, though.

But man... no MM functionality. That sucks.

yea it sucks... But I feel the thing with Classifieds was that right from the get go, it was a piece of crap. If Bungie would tell people that "Hey, there's this forum where you can find games or look for people" straight up, that would a whole lot more wonders.

Post more guys! Keep this thread alive!

If you actually read the thread, this has nothing to do with changing the game. Just adding a dedicated forum to help us search for games.

I think that's a good idea, finding people on live can be tough if you don't play on your own very often like me, and firefight looks sick so i dont want to miss out on it

  • 06.11.2009 8:20 PM PDT

OMG this is where my signiture goes..... oh.. wait...


Finished the Fight!! 09/28/07!

While it is a bummer, and I too would have liked that. I mean, it would have been awesome to meet more people that liked to play campaign like me.

So while I want it, and it would be a great addition to the game and experience, I don't see myself finding it to difficult to find 3 people to play Firefight with (Considering near to all of my friends are from Halo 3 or Halo 2. Or from my Machinima Group.. which is a Halo Machinima group.. so yeah..

Here's Lookin Out for ya though OP a dedicated forum would be nice.~

I've said this in a lot of threads but living where I am, or even for anyone else, its not always easy to gather a group of people to come in and play a game. That's why I felt Halo 3's 4 Player Co-op feature was not fully used as it was hard to use it effectively.

I think I can speak for the rest of us when I say gathering a group of people to do the Vidmaster: Annual experience was a pain the arse. Posting on the Halo 3 Forums was against the rules and Classifieds is a graveyard of -blam!-.

What I'm proposing that Bungie can do on their part to make up for the lack of Firefight matchmaking is give us...

A Firefight Forum. A dedicated forum for people to post up threads looking for people. Or people who want to join a game can look there. Its a really simple concept but it will help a lot and ensure that a larger amount of people get the most out of Firefight, without matchmaking and without much of a hassle.

What say you?

Please? :)

No MM does suck, but kudos for coming up with a possible solution rather than just slagging off Bungie like most people.

For once I see an idea that could be forged into something good here. Good job. I kinda like this. It will keep the thousand threads away that will come every day.

I completely agree with the o.p. Firefight should have a matchmaking element. (Rant) I mean Lego Star Wars has matchmaking for its campaign and Halo doesn't? I'm sure there is a reason but really "LEGO STAR WARS"

Don't be so critical. It's a forum.

Hence, you should support this idea :D Its a workaround to the Matchmaking problem that while easy to implement but not as convenient as matchmaking but will still get the job done relatively well.

For everyone else, Thanks for the support guys! Keep this thread alive!

Sending me a group invite or some kind of other pointless, time wasting advert gets you blocked. Don't bother wasting your time. kthnxbai

Wait wait wait... Firefight doesn't have Matchmaking?

._.

Uh, okay then.

A Firefight forum on Bnet would be the second best thing to that, I guess.

We don't need a rule for every single freaking thing someone thinks is spam.

. . . AND?

Seeing as Firefight goes forever, MM would be pointless It would be based on how long it takes everyone to quit.

No, just make a group, post in the Classifieds or make some more friends. You don't need a forum to find people to play one mode.

drink tea get rad!

I HAVE GOT IT make a group : )
