A real test of a man is if he is willing to scrape a sharpened razor up and down his junk just to please a woman.

Now that I think about, Bungie could have easily said "Hey, we like Firefight the way it is in ODST, so why not have a playlist that resembles ODST almost perfectly in Reach?".
Instead we got FRG Fight and Rocket Fight all over matchmaking.This. There was a very limited time period where one could play Firefight Linited; not everyone votes for the Arcade variants. Also, Reach's AI is INCREDIBLY cheap and overpowered. Elites don't ever need to reload, have melee bleedthrough and have a huge amount of shields, for one thing. ODST's Firefight had reasonable and fun enemies, although it did have Black Eye, so it wasn't better in every way.
Oh, and saying to just make a custom game is obviously impractical and requires spamming invites.
The fact that Reach had a matchmaking system at all means it's already better than ODST. Now, for ODST, how else are you supposed to get a match without "spamming invites?"Reach doesn't have MM for Limited, so it's on the same level. I realize Arcade Fight and ODST FF are two different gametypes, but there is no reliable way to get Limited on Reach, which is stooped, and saying I can just play Arcadefight isn't even a positive for people who liked ODST.
...There isn't really a way to get an ODST game going without spamming invites, which, besides the lag and Black Eye being manditory, is its main downside. However, limited settings in ODST combined with its superior weapons meant for a better experience, anyway. Endure also meant people were actually encouraged win, and spamming invites in ODST meant people were always going to play the lives mode. I just shouldn't have mentioned the spamming invites thing since it's an inherent problem for all the FF variants.
