Subject: Firefight - Can we search for players to play with like matchmaking?

ive been wondering this and i dont think it has been answered. im wondering if we have to invite people to our game to join us on firefight, or if we get the option to party up with random people like in matchmaking on halo 3.

anyone know?

No, and that sucks balls to be honest. I don't know why not, it's a stupid idea not to.

  • 07.19.2009 6:58 AM PDT

I don't think you can, but I've no Idea. It would be cool to have firefight kind of work like matchmaking where you just get into a game with other people.

  • 07.19.2009 6:58 AM PDT

Look's like it,it's going to be like horde,but never ending unless you die.

So yes I think you will be able to.

Death to rank junkies.

Invite people. That's what the friends list is for. It's much bettter to play with people you know, rather than random people.

People who say that usually have no friends. Anyway, I'm not here to justify my reason for wanting match making, but it's not lack of friends or XBL friends, it's because most of them play COD or something else. No one plays Halo.

So what do I do? Tell them to get ODST, few probably will as they don't like Halo 3, or I have to play Halo 3 to meet guys who may play ODST? No those are backwards ways. This is like the Wii.

Yeah this is the most f-d up thing about this game. Basically if you want to play Halo ODST and you have no friends online, you have to play single player.

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.”

I love Halo, I have played it since the beginning, even though I may not have had Xbox Live back then. Marathon is also a pretty good game.

Thank You Bungie! For the best games and Recon Armor. Also thanks for the early access to the Halo: Reach Beta!

This account was hacked and I now have a new account.

You probably can't but it would be sweet if you could!

No it's been confirmed there is no match making for it sense it is based of campaign.

Does it matter really? I mean there is always at least one person on my friends list playing Halo and it will probably be like Halo 3 release where everyone and their mom is going to be playing it.

The universe is probably littered with the one-planet graves of cultures which made the sensible economic decision that there's no good reason to go into space--each discovered, studied, and remembered by the ones who made the irrational decision.

ODST has no online capabilities besides the 4 player co-op in firefight. The online play will be the halo3 disc you get to buy all over again that also ships with the game.

you cant update an entire gametype into a game. Game types such as firefight and matchmaking are hardwired and hardcoded into the game it self, its impossible to add something like that in. besides that, firefight is supposed to be like a custom game, its not MEANT for matchmaking

Do you honestly want to play firefight with three strangers that could know each other but be dicks to you?
