Is it private only with invited friends/players like how Halo 3's co-op campaign works? or is there an option for Public Matchmaking with random players like how Gears of War 2 works or Left 4 Dead for instance?

Nothing's been confirmed yet, but judging by gameplay at E3, screenshots and Bungie's track record, expect it to be "private matches" as you call it.

One of the only reason for me to buy ODST would to have the option to play Public Matchmaking Firefight. otherwise I could care less about 3 new maps an a new Campaign.

Why So Serious?

Yeah i believe they will be "private matches". I don't think anything has been confirmed yet though. Relating to that issue.

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 and put your skills to the ultimate test against the invading Covenant war machine for glory, high scores, and achievements. Do battle in multiple environments, on foot or in vehicles, and against increasingly difficult waves of Covenant attackers while Halo 3's skull modifiers progressively activate to up the ante.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

Well yea, the new firefight will be pretty fun when you get bored of campaign etc. But i also am interested in a new campaign/story. And also in firefight i like the idea of choosing an ODST of your choice to your suitibilities. Eg: Sniper, Heavy Weapons, Light Weapons.

I don't really think Firefight matchmaking would be very good. Matchmaking in Gears 2 Horde is very hard, also, because people quit all the time. Last time I played a bot didn't replace them, but that may have changed.

Also, I don't think Firefight will support AI allies. Bot vs Bot wouldn't be too fun. I think you'll just need pre-existing friends. You'll find plenty on Bungie.net :)

People keep telling me to get a life... I am getting an education, I have a lovely girlfriend and alot of friends... I thought this was having a life? Gues I was wrong...

I am looking forward to be able to play this with and without friends, I am the only Halo fan in my circle of friends, so I am not going to have anyone to play with that I know, sucks, but I gues I can squeesh in with some other people :) But Matchmaking would be nice, but so many noobs would ruin it because "Look at me taking on 3 Brute Ch..." and then he dies.

You'll find hundreds of people wanting to play all the time here at B.net, or you could join a few of those gaming forums out there and find players there too.

if knowledge is power and power corrupts, isn't knowledge therefore dangerous?
Black Tower

it'd be cool if it was like terrorist hunt in R6V2.

Terrorist hunt was one of the best gaming experiences for me, and if it worked like that it could be pretty cool.

Two makes there more than speakers.

Think of it as a custom game lobby. But only four people can join.

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

Probably just private, though I would love a public option.

They aren't he same thought. In Rainbow 6, people have individual life counters. It also doesn't get progressively harder either...

Everything I have seen from Bungie, thus far, suggests you will be able to play Firefight with your friends just as you would in a H3 Custom game. Enabling the ability to be matched up with those who aren't on your friends list isn't likely. Though, from what I have read here on these boards, is something Bungie needs to think about down the road.

Calm the -blam!- down! We read it. It doesn't say anything specific. We know you can play it on Xbox LIVE, but is there matchmaking for it?

........Do they really have to say You can play Firefight with matchmakeing or can we read what they post.... they answerd the question allready.

If u couldt play it on matchmakeing ( like halo3's coop campaign ) it would be completly pointless....

It says play over LIVE. That doesn't mean matchmaking.
