As it seems Halo 3: ODST's new feature, FireFight, will not be open for you to play with random Halo player. No you will have to invite your friends that have Halo 3: ODST and that are in the mood to play. If you have no friends that have ODST then it would look like you're going to get lonely. I'm not saying that Bungie sucks at entertainement, I own all the Halo titles so far and am going to purchase ODST, I just want to have your opinion on the subject. In my opinion it is a let down down but that is only a minor flaw. I am not a hater. ODST FTW.

Agreed. Hopefully most of my friends are getting this game, I don't want to have to come onto this site asking for people to play with... God that would be horrible.

Two makes there more than speakers.

Split-screen and system link is available to people who don't have Xbox Live. Even then you can try by yourself.

I think the game is a fair buy, unlike many others in this forum, but like you i am also fairly let down by that, most of my friends just play CoD, or gears, ugh.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Someone should make a Firefight group just in case. Post the homepage in this thread, and others asking for players for firefight.

Sucks, but it's not Bungie's fault. Matchmaking's engine would not be able to run Firefight, as Firefight uses Campaign-type waves and triggers, so they used Campaign's engine.

I wouldn't want some random people playing with me though. All my XBL friends are from Halo 3 so I'm pretty sure they will have get ODST. No big deal.

Rule 6: Respect the Admins

“It’s their website, and they can do whatever the hell they like with it. You’re a guest, and hassling them about how they run things is akin to going round your Auntie’s house and curling one out in her tea-pot.”

Heres an amazing thing, make some friends(or exsiting friends), and invite them in. Or go in matchmaking, find random people and get them in a fire fight game you set up later.

To Asgard...by the blood of our brothers.

Am I the only one who believes in split screen? Some of the most fun I've ever had in Halo was playing with three guys on one TV. Firefight should be even better in the same scenario.

Split Screen doesnt really work for me. And you're right it isa little dissappointing

  • 07.07.2009 4:18 PM PDT

Good. I would rather ALWAYS play with friends than play never with a bunch of random idiots.

1.Have you looked at the customazation for Custom Games? Your not going to find a game of exactly what you want. And if you just want to play slayer, then go play matchmaking.

2.The system wasn't built to include new armor. Bungie guessed that the variety they gave us would be good enough. Hell, they could have just kept the old system and made everyone look alike.

3.We haven't played Heretic yet, so don't judge the remakes.
