Why the heck does only the first row have matchmaking on ?
It is really fun and great that i have some bonus drops on some of these missions, and because it is not in the first row, i will either have to solo it or skip it.
You can't force us to play nothing but ops over and over again and then not have matchmaking on.
All missions in Fireteam ops and Pinnacle ops should have matchmaking on.
Also add a quickplay list for both Grandmaster and Ultimate.
Portal was definitely made for solo players.
Give us the option to either play solo or with others.

Why are you expecting a multiplayer game to have multiplayer matchmaking ... Clearly you should lower your expectation... signed - Bungie 2025
-
Simple Solution - add a toggle switch MM / Solo for all Fireteam / Pinnacle Ops 👈 That is all. Ease Springs! 🫡

Why is it that whenever Bungie delivers something the player base has been asking for, they do so in a way that is nothing like what we wanted? We've been asking for the option to load into Strikes solo. They finally do it and this is how it's presented.

Edited by Monkey: 8/12/2025 2:30:13 PMYeh turn it on, but disable eager edge in the playlist Kinda sick of these clowns just skipping everything, not even caring about the bonus..uselss to complete them without the bonus. Was trying to help a friend out today and we kept on getting dumptrucks just skipping past everything The worst thing they ever did was get rid of the legacy lfg finder and force us to use fireteam finder instead

Trust me matchmaking doesn't fix bad players. I just hit 400 by myself and all the modes felt the same easy and not much of a challenge. I hit A rank on almost all of them. Here's a idea change your modifiers around until it hits hard, not very hard. Try that and if you still have issues then sure matchmaking some activities but not all. Blue berries will still fold like rusty old lawn chairs under pressure. When they leave the activity.

Low population issue. 1,440 minutes a day, you need people looking for that specific thing at the same time as you, removing people instead queueing for tower, comp, control, trials, one of the many destinations, strikes, gambit, etc etc etc. The more matchmaking available the more you do the math, if they put matchmaking on all of them, you'll get 10 minutes to find someone for each fireteam ops. You may think there is just a need for 3 people, but what about the other person searching that need kne more or two more and prefers same console, etc etc. They rotate it for good reason. Too much matchmaking in 14 hours a day it's on, no more people to match with, cause again, more divids, how many people that want to do the same specific strike as you, are all already in the strike with their own team? So how much of actual time playing are those players also matchmaking at the same time as you and not already doing the activity full team?

Well, a few days back not even the top row had matchmaking! Totally agree though, and hopefully they will add it to the base activity for all rows, maybe it will come after the weekly reset. 🤞
-
I feel like we have done an annual begging for matchmaking every year since this game began it's existence. Of all the things looked at and implemented I will never truly understand why this is always an oversight
-
They really need to adjust the time and scoring too. Not every fire team op can be reliably done in the time they give you on higher difficulties to my experience and it really shouldn't be harder to get B tier rewards in those than solo or pinnacle ops. Hell, higher difficulties in the past always gave you more time to work with.
-
Because matchmaking for the specific modifiers you decided to put on would take forever and you'd be right back here whining about queue times. [quote]Give us the option to either play solo or with others.[/quote] .....so what we have now lmao.
-
Word. The only reason I can come up with is that even Bungie thinks that their current playerbase wouldnt be able to support it.
-
Yup everything in the fireteam section should have matchmaking!
-
At higher level like GM, I will prefer to solo pinnacle with my mods and it is much easier and faster. You can even over level and still score A. All the match matching has standard delta -30 for master. GM doesn't have matching as it will be -40 delta. I am 422 GM 420, B+ and complete in time A score. It is easier than the master matching. For fireteam ops, agree as it's scoring system is based on kills not objective. Because of that, I never play it. A score is very hard to achieve matching or solo.

The 2nd row has matchmaking ON
-
[quote]because it is not in the first row, i will either have to solo it or skip it. [/quote] Right, they should add an in game feature - something to help find fireteams…
-
Just use fireteam finder. You know the one they put in game.

Depending on a players light and gear it's better to set your own modifiers to maximize rewards. If you don't want to solo a fireteam ops activity where you set the modifiers you can use fireteam finder and run it with 2 others. Solo ops was made for solo player's. Fireteam and pinnacle ops were made for both solo and players wanting to run with others. It's what many wanted for so long and chances are given you are serial complainer you complained about random teammates in strikes in the past. Now you have more options than ever. Run the selected activities ths t have set modifiers and matchmaking, run strikes alone with your own set modifiers or run it's with your own set modifiers in a team via fireteam finder Yes bungie can't force us to play anything. There has always been an option to play with others.
