What the heck, how do you invite friends to your game or join their game????

If you can't I'm uninstalling and never looking back. How is this not an option even for beta?

It is an option to join a friends game, but not to invite a friend to your game currently. One of my friends is in a game right now and when I look at my friend list there is a green square next to his name. If you click on his name it gives you an option to join his server. I can't of course, since every server is full right now but as less people try hammering the game and more servers go up that will be less of an issue.

What doesn't seem to be an option yet as far as I'm aware is sending messages (outside of a match) to your friends, even though the mail button is there.

Well even IF that's how you play with friends, that's an awful system. Why no pre-game lobby to invite friends and join into matches together, it's 2012 people. Halo 2 has matchmaking...

Halo 2 had a development team in the hundreds with full support from Microsoft. This is an indie company. I think you need to reset your expectations.

Matchmaking with friends in 2012 should be a implemented day 1 of testing.

Look at Path of Exile...it's an indie company too and let's you play with friends day 1 of its alpha and beta.

Everything's a little messed up since their are crazy amounts of people trying to play. When Open beta comes out they should add a lot more.

What me and my roommate do is just look at the server list and pick the games out from there. It works 100% of the time as long as there is room in the game.

IMPORTANT: Helps to have that friend on skype or have some other mode of communication with them.

To add friends there inside Hawken is a three person icon standing next to each other on the top right. Click that there is a window with an add button to it.

Guys, guys. Give them a bit to smooth things out. In the meantime, use services like Steam and teamspeak to communicate with friends. Actually, I should make a post on steam friends...

Perfect! People sucks badly! Hmmm... may I be your friend?
Once a girl asked me in a chat: "-ASL?" I answered: "- Very old, impotent, third world." And she got out the room. Posted Image

Get the fuzzy bunnies out of here. This is a Closed Beta. IF you think this is exactly how the final game works, you're not smart enough to be a beta tester.

The matchmaking function didn't even WORK last time I tried using it.
