game keeps crashing/disconnected as i join my friends server

Disconnection issues are usually due to a poor internet connection on either the host (friend) of the server or the client (you). I would try to restart your internet router. If this doesn't work try signing into an Xbox Live account as this may prevent you from playing multiplayer games. Let me know if this helps.
