I'm sure this has already been posted and that everybody already knows the answer but in ODST will you be able to do matchmaking on the ODST disc or will you have to play Halo 3 for the matchmaking?

If you pre-order odst it comes with a halo 3 multiplayer disc with all the maps including Longshore, Citadel, and Heretic. But if you dont pre-order it i guess you have to buy the 2nd mythic map pack. So no there will not be Matchmaking on ODST

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

No, there will be two discs, one that is ODST, and the other one which has the DLC maps and you can play directly from there. Bungie confermed that there will be no ODST's in matchmaking, only Spartan's and Elite's, the usually stuff.

No the only difference if you pre order or not is that you unlock Sgt. Johnson for firefight.

Yep I'm a noobe. Sorry but you'll have to put up with me until I get better.

Sorry I'm still a little confused. My question is will we be able to search and be matched up with other people (not on the friends list) and be put in a party to play FireFight?? The reason I ask is most of my friends list have expressed that they will not be purchaseing ODST for quite sometime. If I can only play with people from my friends list then what is the point to purchasing it and just staying with Halo 3.

Expanded multiplayer collection. No "Halo" experience would be complete without groundbreaking multiplayer content,* and "Halo 3: ODST" gives fans more of what they love. With exclusive new maps and full Forge options, players will find more multiplayer content than ever before with "Halo 3: ODST." ............ I read this somewhere, so to answer your question, yes there shall be the matchmaking that we all love and cannot live without in Halo 3: ODST.

Dont be so sure, ODST will have online for firefight but maybe not matchmaking, so the ability to team up with ramdom people will be out, and they have a good reason to do it.

The name's Ian, Game Designer at Whisper Game Studios, very off-and-on Bungie.net visitor and avid Bungie fan overall. Message me if you wish.

This is probably (seriously) the closest you'll get to matchmaking with legit rankings and team play etc.

Yeah, in a sort of a way, you pay like 5$ to reserve and then when the game comes out you have a copy reserved that nobody else can take, and you just pay the rest. At stores like GameStop if you pre order you can unlock Sgt. Johnson for Firefight :D

Haha sorry i was making a thread, umm, so yeah tecnically it pretty much is a reserve, only difference is that on a reserve you pay ahead. The full price.

Got the skills for the kills for the highlight reels!

On the ODST Disc, there is the ODST Campaign and Firefight, Aswell as theater mode

so...

ODST DISC (1):

Campaign
Firefight
Theater

ODST DISC (2; Or H3 Disc):

Halo 3 Original Multiplayer <- Your matchmaking, custom games, basically Halo 3's multiplayer stuff, tossed in, no original H3 Campaign

Theater

That clear it up? And yes, your ranks will carry over
