    How play on same team in Matchmaking/Custom games

    I've noticed quite a bit of misinformation in the forums regarding the title. It is very easy to play on the same team in matchmaking/Custom games.
    Below is a step by step guide (this list is not exhaustive)
    Matchmaking from menu
    1. Be in the same party as the player you want to play with. This can be either Xbox Live or Uplay (ps3.)
    2. Party leader joins a match. If any other players are at the menus, then they will be prompted to join the leaders team.

    Join In-Progress
    1. Same party criteria as above.
    2. Select My Setup from Multiplayer menu. Press Y for Friends and select appropriate friends name. Select option to Join Match.

    Lobbies (including Custom Games)
    1. Same party criteria as above.
    2. Party host invites players using the in-lobby Y from Invite party.
    The join match option also works.

    Using the above we have consistently gotten teams of 3-7 together on the same team.
    Please note: Joining in-progress or inviting friends via the Xbox Guide will not consistently have your friends on your team.

    Yes but with all due respect that system doenst really work. Lobbys fill up by the time you join and you still get put on different teams.

    Its a chore!

    Also its funny how every other mp game(even the **** ones on xbla) all have decent matchmaking, i.e you dont need stickied threads on forums to explain how. lol!

    That is not working... If the leader join a game that is filling, the other players won't be able to join. The other players will often be in a different team.

    Ive just come off and its a nightmare. My friend is ready to give up cos its too much of a chore to play together. Im going to keep my game and hope that a decent matchmaking/lobby system is included.

    Im still a bit baffled as to why this wasnt included in the game.

    Make sure you do everything through the in-game menu, not via xbox live friends list. You can possibly end up on the other team for the first match if you join in progress however you'll be on the correct team in the next match. As well, if you cannot join the game, you have 2 options: either enter the queue as prompted or follow the above join in-progress steps.

    We've had this work consistently for ourselves and other groups we've described it too.

    I agree that it is not the easiest system to navigate, but this isn't a thread for complaining. I'm just trying to help with something we've found that works.

    This is BS i finally convince 4 of my friends to buy this game, we all love the SP and even the MP when we were playing by ourselves, but the lack of a party system where we can all join and search for a game together is not there, the mics are trash and the occasional never ending loading screen is annoying. This game has a great MP I love the gameplay the way the character feels, the way it is balanced,cool kill cam, and humiliation at the end of every game. but if there is no party how can we play this game with friends? we are all gonna get bored and do the obvious which is go play COD. hate the game but at least it has a party system.

    Thats fair enough dude and I appreciate you trying to help but at the end of the day it doesnt work for everyone. I hope this works for some I really do but for me it doesnt.

    Also I cant invite friends into a match even tho theres plenty of room on both sides.

    Its just too much and it will kill the mp if not changed. (imo)
