Someone has to say it. Does Bungie not realize that randomly finding people online isn't very different from simply using matchmaking? If your friends aren't on, you just search for people so you can play. With the current communication options (or lack thereof), it's simply mind boggling you can't use standard conventions to get a game going. This is one of those things where a company is being stubborn and it will eventually get fixed. It's just a matter of how long they wait. Online gaming is hardly new, this is such a giant step backwards in terms of structure.
