Subject: Firefight is invite only?

I recently heard that firefight mode is only accesible through invite and it kind of changed my opinion of Firefight as a whole. Do you think that Firefight being invite only will affect the conveniency of jumping in a match for you?

I will still play it and love it, but it will be disapointing. You should add 'ODST list' to your friends list, it is an un-used gamertag so people can find each other through its friends list to play odst.

Um, no.

But yeah I'll have a really hard time trying to jump into a game because no one will really play ODST at all. And that means our friends won't play it either.

I don't think it will be invite only. All lobbies in Halo 3 are joinable if they are on recent players or friends list. Unless you change it.

In Soviet Russia, Xbox plays you.

It is sadly Invite only, this is because it has been built around the Campaign Infrastructure. It doesn't work like Matchmaking's structure.

Thanks, broheim. I'll definently do that once I get my xbox back from the lords of the RROD. Maybe we could play together.

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

There are a couple of good groups out there that are set up for players to find others to play with.

Type Firefight in the group finder and you might find something.

Hey Bob, what are those things jumping across the rooftops like majestic warriors dressed as Spartans with their heads on fire?

Oh, that's just the Bungie ninjas. Mess with them and they'll bring a hammer down on your head that's so big, they have to keep it on Jupiter 'cause it won't fit on Earth.

Uh...no...I will have friends that have it. If you don't, go find some.

ya know, im proud to be an inverted player, its like we're a rare breed or something


Do NOT send me Recruitment Letters, doing so will get you blocked faster than you can say "Huh?"

Its amazing how many people are surprised by this. The mode is meant to be played with friends, and for that reason has no matchmaking.

I realy want to know if you can play 4 player split screen on firefight. If not, wtf, why are so many games only 2 player split screen. Like like you said " the mode is meant to be played with friends" But if tou cant play 4 player split screen then unless your friends have live then you can only play with A Friend.

  • 08.06.2009 2:35 AM PDT

But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are still alive.

hey moron, its just like custom games which means you can set it to open, friends only, and invite only. So recent players and friends CAN still join with out invites depending on the lobby settings

its for performance reasons, you realize the game has to be rendered 4 times in 4 player splitscreen

You don't have to wear a crappy mic with terrible quality to talk to your friends and there is no lag.

Open NAT ftw there i never have lag online when i play and i rarely speak with other then 3 usual people i hang out with i have 41 on friends list but yet i only comm with 3 of them

  • 08.06.2009 3:11 AM PDT

It will, I feel, eliminate the casual match. If you want to play and have enough people, you'll have to organise it a bit more. Ah well.

Open NAT does mean anything, it won't prevent lag. And if you never have lag, you must never play online.
