What is more sad, is that 67% of the voters actualy thought this was the best answer.

You can only invite players if they have all of the updates downloaded. My assumption is that the father in Maine did not have all of his updates taken care of.



Maine is awesome. I've been up to Moosehead lake.

To make sure the two of you get into the same server, do the following process

1. Get to the main menu with the multiplayer disc

2. Hit the start button

3. On the slide that just popped up, locate his gamertag

4. Hit the X button which will send an invite to him.

5. After he accepts the invite, A light green area will show in the top of the side (start) bar, this indicates your squad which will then allow you to be put in the same game.

6. Hit "start" or "B" again to close the side bar, then select Multiplayer.

7. Either select quick match and hope you are put on the same team or skip this step and go to step 8

8. You can select server browser and find a match with 20/24 players (my recommended number as it shouldn't have many joining it).

9. Have fun

10 (optional). I'm F35FLYER on Xbox Live and if you wish to game with me or even have me setup the match send me a message as I'm on a lot. I would also recommend you have a microphone headset along with your father as you can then setup a party and communicate while setting it up and also while you are playing Battlefield 3.
