Am i the lone person out there in the Halo community that thinks that Bungie made the wrong choice not including a match making system for FireFight, meaning that you have to invite three friends who are willing to play at the time in order to have a full match going. I have plenty of friends on XBL who are going to get the game and willing to play but it's just sometimes i'm on and there off and it's a big pain to get a match going. What do you guys think about it ?

If you ever try and fail.....erase all evidence that it was you who tried

It wasn't nesecarily the wrong choice they just might not have realized they could

It's not the wrong choice but it's too bad that they don't include matchmaking .. but i can live without it too !

Yeah I'm pissed it's not MM. I don't have any friends to play with and that is the only way to get some of these achievements. BS

I should be ok all my friends are getting this game and we always call each other up to play it and stuff but my only care is that since i only get like 2 games a year and they get...tons when they're playing their new games i'll be all alone in halo odst and no one to play with. Lame.

  • 07.28.2009 12:55 PM PDT

I wouldn't like relying on strangers anyway, it's bad enough having to do that in Team Slayer.

  • 07.28.2009 1:00 PM PDT

It's like bungie is punishing me for not having any friends =[

Seriously though, I don't know if 3 of my friends will get the game, I really hope I can find someone to play with since firefight is a major selling point for me.

  • 07.28.2009 1:04 PM PDT

i'll be fine without it

me and my 1 other friend will do firefight

i really doubt you will need four players all the time just to have a fun game. (only for vidmasters)

but i do hope reach has the option to play it in matchmaking

wes smith

i wish it did have Match Making cause i have freinds who would buy this-real who have XBL and online but when i wanna play they might not be online

it would be like COD 5 zombies where they don't have MM, its still fun but harder with only one person,

  • 07.28.2009 1:10 PM PDT

thiz is what i acted like at the part when he calls his bro a git when i found out
all my xbl freinds are arseholes

There's plenty of places you can post to look for people to play firefight with.

I speak the truth, and truth speaks itself.
The lies disguise what you despise.
Run. Flee and be, what you've always dreamed.
What happens now won't matter later.
What you see will not be, nor what you imagine will not happen.
The end is close, so take your dose.

How would the exp system work out?

There's no winning or losing on this, so it can't be in MM.

i think you share lives, so if you get stuck with someone who isnt very good....

But that's the chance you take with any online game that pairs you up with random players and i would rather player with an ok player than no one at all.

Noone mentioned exp, this has nothing today with normal halo 3 matchmaking. All the OP is talking about is someway to search for random firefight games on xbox live rather than having to invite 3 other people.

I'm glad it doesn't. I really don't want to be matched up with some 12yr old, yelling kid. Some ppl with no mics, or some guy/kid who tries to kill steal for points and have his spot over run with hammer chieftains.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

It is a shame there is no matchmaking for Firefight, but let us look at the brother of Firefight, Horde. Horde has matchmaking. It's a great idea up until everyone else in the game leaves.

People have problems with quitting in online games. It's sad but true. And most of the time, they don't even need to go, they just leave becasue they are mad at the game or another lame reason.

I think your describing most online games out there including Halo 3. Sometimes you get bad team mates who are selfish and take the good weapons and sometimes you get good team mates who work for the team and help the other players.
