Joining the same team as your friends?

Hey there. Longtime MNC-360 player, checking out the beta with some friends who don't have 360's. Just wondering if/how it's possible at this stage of the beta to get on the same team against some public opponents?

Thanks. GREAT to see this game out on Steam. Much respect.

Begging pardon for the bump, but I imagine this is a pretty important question to a decent number of players.

Bump - I too would like to know the answer to this question.

Well the ability to play with a group of friends on the 360 was probably part of the xbox live framework, but we seriously need the ability to switch teams if we can't join as a group. Not being able to work together with friends currently sucks.

Le boomp. Devs? Even a "not yet, but we'll get to it at some point" or perhaps a bit more descriptive would really rock.
