Did they give a good reason for this?

Seems kind of retarded to limit players like that.

Firefight is based on the Campaign engine so that's why it's impossible for Bungie to make Matchmaking for Firefight

I don't buy that. We know you can play firefight over xbox live, so I find it VERY hard to believe that it's impossible to rig up a system which allows you to play firefight with 3 other random people. If you can start a party with your friends over xbox live and play it, why wouldn't you be able to do so with random people?

For Tru7h and Honor

no

The same you can't do that with campaign. It wasn't designed for it.

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

They should have taken a tip from Epic for this one.

No it isn't. Horde mode doesn't have matchmaking and neither does Zombie Survival mode. Besides, you can play with people who won't betray you out of spite...they'll betray you for fun!!! The whole point is to have fun with your friends. Though Alcohol will not help you play well...but if you're of legal age and feel like it, go for it!

EDIT: I don't own Gears 2 or CoD: WaW. I've played both offline but never online so I'm going by guess here. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Wassup?

Halo 3 ODST's Firefight is built off of Halo 3's campaign. Halo 3's campaign had no matchmaking, Firefight has no matchmaking.

There are certain things about firefight which would make the current matchmaking system undesireable, that much is true. But what about its design would make it impossible for there to be a system that randomly created a party with you and three others which functioned in the same way as a party where you invited 3 friends?

Left 4 dead had survival mode. And you could look for random people on that. And there engine is crap compared to Halo 3.

This should have been a no brainer for bungie. Firefight is the biggest selling point of this game. It's more fun to play with your friends, but why on earth deny the option for playing with random people? This should have been one of the first things discussed when firefight was concieved.

  • 07.31.2009 5:17 PM PDT

Here's a tip: Get friends.

Seriously. Get friends, then play firefight with them.

You're asking me to point out a specific part of the creation process for this game and explain it. I can't do that, because I wasn't involved.

But there are obviously limits to what Bungie can do (armor in Halo 3), especially when they make a game that's basically built on another game. It's possible (and very likely in my opinion) that Bungie couldn't create a matchmaking system for firefight because of that.

  • 07.31.2009 5:36 PM PDT

Actually i hope that it's like horde mode where if someone quits you have bots to replace them

  • 07.31.2009 11:57 PM PDT

Datass

The reason you can't search for matchmaking is because (Bungie said this themselves) Firefight is basically an extention to the campaign because you're all on one team fighting AI
