Subject: "Firefight: Matchmaking" Halo: Reach

Im suggesting this as a type of "Firefight" gametype option for Halo: Reach.

Imagine a gametype where, similar to Firefight, you fight against AI on regular matchmaking maps.

For example:

Map: Construct
Gametype: Firefight 1-player

So you spawn on Construct, and X number of AI also spawn on Construct opposite of you. You have a 10-15 minute time limit to rack up as many kills as possible with a pool of lives. You can even have rounds, waves, and sets like in firefight. Only every time you kill them, after a short respawn time, they respawn again.. maybe as different AI. Wraiths, phantoms etc on bigger maps.

It would essentially be "practice" for actual Matchmaking games. The AI could even be other Spartans/ODST's/Marines, whatever.. It would be just like playing a matchmaking game, except you're playing against computer players vs. other real players. New medals, sprees, etc could be implemented just like in Firefight.

This way, you would be able to play on all of the Multiplayer maps in a gametype without having to play custom games, or actually playing online against other players.

I pay for LIVE to play with other players, I guess Firefight would be cool on already existing maps, but i'd prefer the Covenant to other spartans and ODSTs

Yeah and youd still get to play other players. This would be an option on top of that.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

Naah, that can be a Custom Game only option. BUT if you could actually use matchmaking to find players for the ACTUAL FIREFIGHT, that would be awesome.

Wait, so you want to have a game searcher for available AI to play against? Not positive, but Im willing to bet they are able to play whenever you want them to. Why would you need matchmaking for this?

No, I want a Matchmaking to match you with 3 people you dont know to play firefight with, that other thing is what the OP posted.

Why do they have to be people you dont know? Cant you just invite 3 people?

In the days of old, there were legends of a land long lost to time. This land was known as Ranna'Mor. Ranna'Mor was said to contain in its borders 7 warriors. These warriors had once unleashed a veritable hell upon the ancient world, until they were locked away. My name is Toriad, and I am one of those warriors. Our return is approaching. Do not run away, do not cower in fear; take solace in your final days, for that is all we can do. -Legend of Ranna'Mor

I like this idea. It works well with Horde in Gears of War 2, so why not halo?

well mm you go into sometimes with people you dont know

Yeah but you can just get some recently played people and invite them. It just seems like a lot of work just so you can play with people you dont know vs playing with people you do know, or by yourself.

They would have to add a whole matchmaking option just for that option. Not worth it.
