I have no problems joining games. If its private, its because the host that created the private match forgot to  change to join in progress:yes.    If its public, it may appear the room is not full, because people joining dont show up right away.  So you friends may think they see room on their team, but theres actually some one trying to join, so it says full.

I'm surprised I haven't seen more complaints about this, maybe it's for the same reason I haven't said anything: It's such an obvious and simple issue I assumed it would have been fixed by now.

 

You can't go into your friends list and join their lobby! It always says that it's private or full (which it isn't). It's not just me because it's like this for everyone I've played with. unless there is some hidden setting making all of my lobbies private (which should also be fixed) then this is ridiculous to have to deal with something like this in a $1 Billion game!

To those responding and not geeting what the OP is talking about... it's the main MP menu where you form a party and search for games.

OP... this happens when the host sets their room to invite only.

I think you should keep trying.....it works all the time. I frequently will sign in invisible and join the opposite team of my buddies just to piss them off. I,ve had the probs getting in,but ver VERY rarely.
