Plutonium

Will there soon be a way that we could invite our friends to the Black Ops 2 or Modern Warfare 3 pre-game lobbies other than to the start the game and wait till round one or for them to join. I personally don't like have to play on
+100 ping servers with my friend when we live one house away from each other. Thank you for all the work you have put in. Will there be like a friend system being developed anytime soon?
