Here's my idea. I have created a xbox live account named FirefightFinder. When ODST comes out, I'll pick out some people who I see as active Firefight players. Now, what everyone else does is, they send FirefightFinder a FR, then view friends. Among these will hopefully be some people with Firefight matches going. It will obviously not be brilliant, but if organized well enough, it could be successful. Thoughts?

Hey guess what!? I play CoD more than Halo, but I'm not an annoying fanboy. I love CoD more, but I like how involved the Halo Community is...

Of course, how else would u play with friends?

Bungie, and several videos showing it's not there.

Actually, this is a really good idea. We can make several numbered accounts to further expand this concept.

Well since they haven't confirmed it, nor said it wont be there, there's a good bet it wont be. The reason they're not saying no is because they want to keep people's hopes up so there's more chance they'll buy the game. I'm pretty sure I saw a post somewhere by a EOB saying that it'd be impossible.

Claiming you might have seen something or not is not proof, Thus your argument of not being there is as void as one saying it is. For all we know it will be there so don't assume things till the game is out.

Most people around here seem to believe that it wont be in ODST. If it isn't in the game, which it probably wont be, it's a good idea to have a back up plan, such as another way of finding games, which I have presented here.

Annoying thing is there are only 100 friend spots. If you do, make an Australian firefight account :p

If you want to make one, that's fine with me, nobody is going to try and stop you, however, 100 friend spots is a lot and should be enough.

So... your proof is a group of people who don't work for bungie who are assuming just case Halo 3 didn't have a campaign co-op search, That a More Multiplayer style game which revolve around player score, and leader bored will not as well.

Could you please tidy up your grammar, I don't really understand what you just said there. Also, your getting off topic now.

Prove to me it does.

I'll bet you, right now. Halo 3: ODST's Firefight mode will not have a search option.

Do you accept the bet? There are no cost of losing, but if I am right, you must admit it to everyone. And if I am wrong, I will announce it to everyone. Deal?

To sum it up, Your assuming case halo 3 campaign didn't have a co-op mode a FAR more multiplayer themed game like Firefight won't as well.

Yes. So, do you care to take the bet?

If I am wrong, I have to tell everyone how stupid I am.
If I am right, you must tell everyone you were wrong.

I'm not going to take some dumb E-Bet, I'm just stating a fact your Assuming it not going to be there but in truth is no one has proof if it is or isn't, So instead of just going off the deep end and going " OMFG IT NOT GOING TO BE THERE!" We wait for some more news to drop down the pipe we still do have little under a 2 months.

Check out my group if you love talking about music.
The Haven for Music
Another good groupNew Mombasa

There are a couple of groups that are trying to get a matchmaking thing going.

I won't say which ones they are but they aren't that hard to find if you look.

Firefight is built on top of the campaign networking model. There's no matchmaking functionality.
