  4.0 out of 5 stars Great...but note Halo 3 ODST lacks matchmaking!

  Having played and thoroughly enjoyed Halo 3, this eagerly anticipated addition to the family was just about worth the wait! It feels like Halo 3, but with different characters of course voiced over by some of the Firefly crew (an excellent if somewhat short series by the way).
  
  The gameplay is smooth and the loading transition times negligible; how Bungie does this is probably a trade secret.
  
  My only disappointment is Firefight. Put simply, I can't play it with anybody else! Gears of War 2 Horde mode is amazing, and I was hoping that Firefight would be too. Unfortunately, Bungie has not incorporated matchmaking into Firefight. This means that unless you invite recent players or friends to play you're on your own! And this is incredibly frustrating and as already stated a severe disappointment.
  
  The second disc comes with all of the Halo 3 multiplayer maps and is obviously useful in that respect.
  
  In summary, the levels are fun to play, the music is outstanding and sets the moods brilliantly, but the lack of matchmaking for this title severely compromises what could have been a stunning game.
