Subject: i think i know why matchmaking is not in firefight

I'm the cult of personality,
I call it like i see it, if i feel the need to be blunt and to the point, then i will, if i feel the need to be very detailed, i will, im here to stay and im here to do things my way, if you respect that or not is your choice, not mine,
and don't worry, while i don't agree with everyone's opinion, i do respect everyone's opinion.

firefight is a team based game right? and you know we all know that there are tons of noobs who betray people for no reason bungie probably does not want that to happen because we all have to share 7 lives and having someone betray people in firefight would ruin the experience so tell me what you think

MW2 is the biggest waste of money I've ever spent. Horrible game, I regret buying it.

It doesn't have matchmaking because it is built off of the Halo 3 Campaign lobby, and that didn't have matchmaking. There simply wasn't enough time to program Firefight matchmaking. It's not because you need a team. You wouldn't be forced to play matchmaking.

J-H

In all honesty, i'd much rather either play by myself or with my friends than with some random people who will either be too "nooby" or too laggy to play with...Hang on...Lag...How would Firefight deal with lag? If your friend is lagging and he kills something will it just randomly drop dead on your screen? Sorry...went off track there...

The game would probably just run really slow. Trust me, I've played Halo 3 Campaign with a laggy dude, and it was horrible.

I broke one of the cords for my X11s because I couldn't get past the final American course in Doritos Crash Course.

Im not sure, theres loads of team games in matchmaking where people betray, I don't think it happens that often, and hardly ever on purpose.
There's not that much difference between the concept of Team Slayer and firefight...I think it might have something to do with having the covenent in matchmaking levels.

Although I don't usually agree with people I actually have to agree with Unseen Blade

I'll hold the rope..... and the camera. 'Cause I'm a multitasker like that.

As agile as a cougar on a young man.

Ok, if you say so boss!

Wildcard Machinima!

Forever praise Lord Jesus Christ, The Father, The Holy Spirit, the one true Lord Almighty God, and bless all forever in His holy name :)

I still think it should be in matchmaking.

And the fact that Bungie said this exact thing.

Do people not read the weekly updates?

Ellites Suck!

I know matchmaking isn't in firefight, but can you still do custom games over Xbox Live?

  • 08.13.2009 9:08 AM PDT

Hey Guys.

I am Founder of the group FireFight Custom Games
Another Great Group is New Mombasa Join them both :P

My Real GamerTag is XbL ShutDown.

I doubt they would add any type of Matchmaking for a Campaign Expansion.
Even for Firefight.
