GameStop won't release specific numbers but says that pre-orders and

successful midnight launch events at almost 3,700 stores that had high

midnight launch.

yeah too bad no matchmaking for Firefight , I'd probably play it allot
more but you gotta go to the Bungie forums and xbox forums and put out
player wanted signs to get games going

That sounds absolutely retarded. I don't know what they were
thinking...

Apparently the Firefight mode was built off the co-op engine of Halo
3, which didn't have matchmaking. Thus it would have taken a complete
re-write of the code to include it.

Yeah that subject has been beaten to death(about Bungie's explanation
for no matchmaking for Firefight) on the Bungie forums and the
xbox.com ODST forum.

I still think no matchmaking is a big mistake.

Developers develop games ,it's what they do, re-write the code or use
the MP side of the engine.

The 2nd disc uses matchmaking , they can use that side of Halo for the
Firefight ,mode.

I think Firefight like Bungue said was a very late edition.

I agree it would take mass amounts of code to write matchmaking in , I
agree what Bungie said is true. Still after hearing all of Bungies
explanations I would like to see matchmaking for the mode.

If you visit the ODST forums at xbox.com , literallty every other
thread is about the pain of no matchmaking and having to troll the
ocean for players.
