How does multiplayer work?

[Kelso]

Is there matchmaking so that I can play with anyone?
Or can you only play with people from your friendslist?

[Noutaja]

You join rooms from a list until you find one where you aren't immediately kicked out. Or play with friends

Does kicking happen often? I'm interested in this game for its multiplayer part

It happen sometimes, more often than in other games, but it's not a big problem.

It's really simple, you have a list with open matches, then you join and do a mission togetherwith other players. You can also create your own room and have others join you.

What's the most common reason for kick?
I understand veteran can get tired explaining stuff to newbies, especially if it's already the hundred time.

There's not really a reason, it's more that people are to stupid to make rooms private. This is such a big problem that there is even a guide on how to make your session private.

Haha, so it isn't about some unspoken etiquette, like able to sing the full EDF song X-D
Will try multiplayer after going through single player first (things at tough at later stages).

That's in my opinion the best way to experience EDF, I played it first in singleplayer on normal, so that I get used to different classes, weapons and enemies. Then I played it in splitscreen with a friend on hard.
I hardly played mulitplayer, but the few times I did it was pretty good. From 20 online mission I was just kicked about 2 times when I entered a lobby and the people were friendly and cooperative.

did most missions on multiplayer, on either easy or normal had a blast but got kicked a few times indeed. For lack of rooms being private, seems people have an easier time putting dont join in rules instead so just reading them usually solves the problem .
