You can choose from two types of matchmaking,[[Image:Ranks.jpg|thumb|250px|right|An image listing of every Halo 3 rank.]] ranked and social, each having different gametypes. Guests can only enter social matches. Bungie also puts special events into matchmaking first seen on halloween with the living dead playlist, this was also the first time forged maps were use hinting that more playlist will come along with the holidays. These special events only occur for a short amount of time, usually during the celebration of their respective holiday.

Unlike Halo 2, if a party has a high variability of player levels in the playlist being played, it will acknowledge it as a "mixed party" and will attempt to match with another party(ies) of a similar mix of ranks between the players.
