Halo 3: ODST Firefight Update

343i, PLEASE make a new update for ODST firefight. Add a system to search for players to play some firefight!!! None of my friends wanna play with me :frowning:

I highly doubt they will, if you ask on the ODST section I’m sure you’ll find people willing to play with you

Firefight matchmaking in ODST would be unplayable. It was built on Halo 3’s campaign engine. The game shared host between each player, so if one person quit the game ends. It would be too easy to exploit and grief.

“When we first started toying around with what became Firefight, we all knew we wanted to have Matchmaking for it,” said Halo 3: ODST design lead Lars Bakken. “We also knew that would mean some pretty heavy investment on the networking side, which meant more people, and unfortunately it was quickly shot down. The Halo 3 engine doesn’t have support for Matchmaking in our synchronous networking model (which is what powers Campaign and Firefight), so we couldn’t do it within the scope of this project. It still bums me out, but there are always things you can’t do, and you just have to move on.”

It simply isn’t possible and honestly not worth it due to the low amount of players ODST now has, four years after release.
