I've got about 6 friends and we couldn't figure out without a lobby and party system how to get us all into a game and on the same side. SOOOO....how did you do it?

All 6 of you join 6 seperate games and pray to whatever God you believe in that there is space available in the game. Then press start and "invite xbox live party". Took me about 2-3 hours with my team of 4 people. Should be about 4 hours with 6.

For 360

the fact that you have to do that is maddening. A game like this with heavy emphasis on multiplayer shouldn't make finding games with your friends an exercise in futility. That absolutely needs to be addressed asap. if you can create fireteams in game why not let us create them first then go into the game?

BOOM! hugs back and adds a fistbump POW

that will make me return the game, fighting bots over the same scenario over and over again isn't fun at all.

Has anyone tried creating a private match, making a fireteam then switching to public lobbies?

Still don't have the game yet, so sorry if it seems like I'm insulting anyone's intelligence or somthing :P

And if you can't, are you able to create your own open game and invite friends? (Also don't have the game, and I posted this in another thread as well).

it might not be ideal, but if you can do that, it would help.

You can definitely do this, but you will be host if you do and you need a strong host to host 8 v 8 in this game.
