Subject: Why doesn't Firefight have Matchmaking?

Why doesn't Firefight have a Matchmaking feature? ODST is barely a full-retail game as it is, with a campaign that is easily beaten on legendary within five or six hours. A lot of Halo 3's value comes from its online multiplayer, and it seems like all the infrastructure could just be ported from that game to ODST to enable Matchmaking for Firefight. It's just a little ridiculous to get the par 200,000 score for the levels playing solo, and Multiplayer is usually more fun, anyway. Is this going to be an update, or is it just not in the cards at all?

Bungie expects those playing ODST to have friends willing to play with him/her. This is to promote the experience of teamwork in firefight because many people these days jump into party chat with friends no matter what they're playing.

There isnt any because Bungie built Firefight using the Halo 3 campaign system. Also, dont hold your breath for an update as Bungie mostlikely wont waste their time updating 1 feature to a game that will die once Reach is released.

Same reason Halo 3 campaign doesn't, it wasn't designed to incorporate it.
