# Start Matchmaking

This is what we need to Start Matchmaking and get into games with other players (other than the ones in our lobby if we so choose that.

This takes in our defaults, and adds in the Requester ID as we can ONLY start matchmaking when we are the host. This also takes in the matchmaking mode we are looking to go into, we may use this for multiple gamemodes. Once we successfully Start Matchmaking, then we can get Get Game Server Info when we actually have our game server attached.
