Community AdminDoes it help if your friend sends you an invite through the xbox UI? Or if you choose to Join Game In Progress to group with them?
Thanks.
It does not allow you to send a invite before entering the matchmaking or during the game. It does allow a invite after the game in the after action lobby. But in my experience yesterday (after about dozen tries to multiple friends, the invite were sent (and accepted) but not a single invite brought a person into the game.
I covered it a bit more in depth in this thread; http://answers.ea.com/t5/Plants-Vs-Zombies-Garden-Warfare/No-party-system-to-play-with-friends/m-p/2409423#U2409423
Yeah sure would have been nice to know this ahead of time. I based my decision on buying the 360 version on ability to play with friends who were also buying the game and planned to play with. Based on the inability to do so via a lobby system like in Garden Ops (why a friends lobby in that mode only?) they are no longer interested in purchasing the game and as for myself I'll be dumping mine after a few weeks of play since playing anything but Garden Ops looks like a real fiasco. Too bad too it's a fun game that would only be better playing with a group of buddies.

No, the game does not allow anyone to join while the map is loading (360). This means you can only join, through invite, an inprogress game that happens to have an empty space. Two of us spent 20 minutes trying to join a game together and were never able to. Please pass this issue alogn to the programmers, a multiplayer only game where you cannot party with your friends will not last long in 2014. I had three more friends who were interested in buying the game that I told not to bother since none of us will reasonably be able to play together in Vs. anyway. Incredibly disappointing and frustraiting.
