I want to switch sides and play against my friend, but can't see a way to change in online multiplayer. How do I switch my team?

are you playing on the same screen? I would assume you cannot unless your playing one of the community games like in MW3 (all or nothing, ect.) – Ender Jan 6 at 23:29
@Ender Thanks for your reply. Just single screen and I find it stupid the developers haven't incorporated it into the game. Lets hope they add it into a future patch. – Strider67 Jan 6 at 23:56
I don't own BO2, but in prior titles in the COD series, you could only change teams in custom/local games. – turbo Jan 9 at 15:38
Would also enable tons of boosters to use this to have a friend on the other team either sit in a corner and kill repeatedly or tell their friend on the other team where they are all at. – Domenik VanBuskirk Jan 9 at 18:38

Sorry, there is no way (and will stay like that) to change teams while you are playing online multiplayer.

If there was ever a way to change teams in BO2, the teams would be unbalanced and the game wouldn't be as fun to play.

You can't exactly switch teams when ever you want. However, you can enter a lobby, and if there are openings, quickly send your friend a game invite. If your friend is quick enough, he will enter the same lobby, but you won't be in a party, so he'll have 6/11 chance of being on the other team.
