For $18, it's definitely worth it, imo. It's the only PS3 game I still play. The learning curve is steep, but once you get a hang of it, it's pretty fun. CTF is my favorite mode. Epic moments there. The community is still active.
The only problems are the ranking system and voice chatting. Either nobody talks or they have it on open mic which causes a lot of static noise. F'ing annoying.
Joining the servers your friend(s) are at is very easy. There's a buddy list and when you select the name of your friend, it'll give you an option to join the server. You won't be able to join the server if it's full. If you want to be on the same team as your friends, it happens randomly.
