Subject: Firefight or Matchmaking?

You can never succeed if you never try.

With the release of ODST and it having Firefight, I was wondering if people will play Firefight more or if Matchmaking will stay as popular as it is. Firefight sounds good, but the idea of fighting wave after wave of enemies is getting old (Horde, Zombies, etc.) What will you play more.

You face an opponent who has never known defeat, who laughs in foreign tongues at your efforts to survive. This is Reply suicide.

I would rather play Firefight than any other matchmaking in any other game.

In my personal experience, modes like Horde and Firefight quickly show who is the better player, and on a more consistant basis.

AI can't be intimidated. AI has infinite respawns and death doesn't count against AI. AI doesn't have ammo restrictions. AI works together better than most human teams do.

Plus, the best part about game modes like Firefight and Horde and Zombies...

The enemy can't trash talk you, people rarely get so upset that they freak out on you, and trying again isn't that much of a hassle. Not to mention, they typically aren't ranked, so there's no problem if you lose and you only play for fun, since there's nothing to gain by winning.

Besides, you always have more fun camping and holding a position, rather than trying to dig someone out of their position. This is why the winning teams are always the ones who camp an area the most, and the losing teams are always the ones trying to dig them out.

Horde and Firefight lets EVERYONE be on the team who is dug in and firing from a superior position, instead of just slamming corpse upon corpse against defenses, just trying to get in.

I was just wondering if there will be matchmaking for firefight mode.

I'll play firefight a great deal more than regular matchmaking for sure.

no their won't be.

And I agree that Firefight will be amazing to play. I am playing a ton of Horde while waiting for ODST to come out.

i think the idea of fighting wave after wave of arrogant ten year olds sounds more tedious than fighting covie to be honest.

The second disc that comes with ODST, will have the Halo 3 Multilayer on it.

Most likley firefight, but maybe one night light a few candles and make sweet love to some matchmaking.

damn, I'd think they would have done that. I'll never get why they don't MM for campaign/firefight and such Was that actually announced, cause I don't remember seeing anything about it, can you source that or is it just your opinion ?

Death to rank junkies.

Firefight.

Matchmaking isn't fun for me, unless it's Infection or Griffball.
