Well whenever I want to get a good custom game going in Halo 3, I go into Social Big Team and while I'm playing I ask people if they want to play custom games after the game is over. I assume it would work for firefight as well...

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.


me too. before i had an xbox 360 or xbox live, i always played halo 2 splitscreen with my brother and my friend and that was more fun than it is playing LIVE with them.

93% of statistics are lies. Formerly Xfire Grunt. Unfortunately, you can't change the WLID for your BNET account, so I had to create an alternate account. My other WLID was spam city (and it was my e-mail account too).

Split screen is fun, but unfortunately you are going to need two TVs and two Xbox's to do Firefight with 4 players that way.

I think matchmaking would make Firefight better. I think like a "custom games search" or something like that, even if its not matchmaking.

I play Halo with a group of people, but I'm not sure they are getting ODST, which means Firefight might get lonely for me. They aren't fans of Halo 3 Campaign.

Let's not forget what Bungie HAS done for us.................uh.......oh ya like getting our hopes high on getting recon...........or letting us pay $30 on maps then telling us that we could have gotten them free if we had waited.....................or how about giving us a game that costs $60 for campaign, firefight, theatre, and multiplayer......................they dont care though as long as they have money.

Hey now that is poop, without Bungie you wouldnt have Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo Wars, Halo 3 ODST, or Halo Reach!

Insamic got the idea of Halo Wars from Halo which was made by bungie

  • 07.10.2009 8:59 AM PDT

I was in 5th grade. I popped in the Halo CE disc into the massive, clunky first generation Microsoft Xbox, and wrapped my small hands around the controller that was almost too big for me. Little did I know what I was getting into.

10+ years later, I still look up to my childhood hero, Master Chief, while everyone talks about He Man and Spongebob haha

Wassup?

It's gonna suck having no MM in FF! Because only, like, five of my friends EVER play Halo 3

  • 07.10.2009 9:04 AM PDT

I think I will get the best fun out of FF solo because I will see how I do in a situation like ODST 299 Vs. a Covenant Armada.

Just so you know I Kill them all untill they get tired of me beating them and they decide to glass the planet.

hey blame microsoft for pricing. and of course theyre going to get hopes up for ODST even the campaign alone looks worth it. if you blame bungie you get the slingshot

The search bar is like a DMR.

Anyone can use it effectively if they try.
Smart people do use it effectively.
Idiots don't, then complain about how it doesn't work.
The only problem is that, the DMR is used in Reach, but the search bar isn't used in the Reach forum.

No point since there's no online (find random people) on ODST. You will however, have the same rank when you put the multiplayer disk of ODST in.

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... gosh that would be horrible.


*shivers* Yeah that would....

OT
Halo Wars was actually made by Ensemble Studios { now shut down by Microsoft }
Insomniac games make Resistance and the Ratchet & Clank games

BackOnTopic

Is this true. There is no 'Randoms'/MM in FireFight! That sucks!
Why wouldn't that be able to do that, L4D and Resistance 2 both have that capability in FireFight similar modes.

I find it rather dissapointing because the first month or so, this will have no problem. But once other games come out like " Modern Warfare 2" this is not the case as you will find yourself looking at recent players only to find...there playing " MW2"!!!

And even though threads and others will be posted here, it is unlikely you are going to be able to play with them seeing as many others will have the same problem, reducing the chances and amount of people around. And also there might not be many willing people on here causing pain and agony for you as you play by yourself.

Lastly though if you are that lucky person to get that one odd person on ( Like me) playing the mode chances are they already are playing! Leaving me without any options left I decide to give up, hopefully though In the future things will not be like this. Only time will tell.

  • 07.10.2009 9:23 AM PDT

Don't get me wrong, Firefight will be awesome, but I have about 2 1/2 friends who play halo half as much as I do, and I hate going in solo. If this is the case, then I hope Bungie comes up with some kind of update or expansion.

That would be a hilarious end to firefight

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.


Acting high and mighty on the internet isn't cool anymore.


I'm not trying to act anything. I just feel that people really don't think anything through. If firefight was a matchmaking type, people would just cry and complain about the people they are paired with, just like they do in the team playlists there are now.

  • 07.10.2009 11:19 AM PDT

My troll sense is tingling.

Yeah, to me this is the only flaw I have seen so far.

Good idea, but it's impossible since Firefight is based on the Campaign System.
And there's going to be one flaw for making Matchmaking for Firefight, people will complain about random people they pair in Firefight.
