Is Firefight matchmaking in Halo Reach dead? Whenever I look for a game I sit in the lobby for 10 mins before giving up and playing something else. Does everyone else experience the same? Is this mode dead after the games been out for about 3 weeks?

Firefight matchmaking seems less popular than other playlists... however It's far from dead.
On the odd occasion I do try, I generally get into games with 2 or 3 people.
Maybe you have search preferences on and they're slowing it down?

I usually get matches with 3 or 4 people (myself included). My only qualm is people always picking Rocketfight or Sniperfight. That's all well and good for completing challenges, but normally it's just... No...
Personally, I think you can never go wrong with custom games, particularly Gruntpocalypse with Bottomless Clip and Concussion Rifles.
EDIT: If you're ever up for some Firefight it's the gametype I mostly play, besides Team Objective/Slayer, but only the latter with friends. GT is AriiMoose.

I think there should have been a firefight mode where you could just get a maximum of 4, but the lobby doesn't have to filled. I often get two other freinds into the lobby, then have to sit and wait for that one randomeer who boots me five seconds on rocket fight or something.
Although I do usaully play scoreAttack. God I love me some ScoreAttack.

Firefight barely plays for me anyway.
It uses a different networking system from normal matchmaking, in order to accommodate the AI. This system is was obviously not developed for people with less than favorable connections who also can't upgrade because no one sells anything better in this damn place. Well one company was about to, but they went under and got bought out by another, bigger company who seems to not give a damn. Pricks.
Sorry, got kind of sidetracked there...
Anyway, whenever I play it(or campaign co-op), its dreadfully laggy usually to the point of unplayability. At best there's a 1/4 second delay in everything I do. At worst its like playing a game at 0 FPS.
Not sure what this has to do with your problem, but I needed to get that off my chest.

anytime i play firefight its only with friends, i dont really care for playing it with randoms, just doesn't seem as fun really, plus i can't pick what i want if i have to join the stupid matchmaking, with my friends we get to pick what we want and crank it to whatever difficulty we want. (my friends think the same too, we talked about it last time we played)
just adding my two cents as to why maybe your not getting too many people, its also probably a connection problem

People are playing firefight...just on their own in Score Attack. Same game mode, just more credits and commendation progress because you're solo.
