    I've had some trouble with 1943 recently and am wondering if this is happening for anyone else. 
     
    A few days ago I tried to join up (I don't play much 1943, but I enjoy it a little from time to time) and I got connection issues. Unable to join games and the like. Tonight however, my issue is a little more, dumb. 
     
    Tonight all of my 1943 games have been ridiculously unbalanced. From 9v3 to 7v1 to 7v0 (for a little bit, then one joined) all of my games have consisted of very little actual playing. Maybe this is due to the BFBC2 demo being out, but with 10 people in games and 5 people hunting the one guy on the other team, this game isn't really that exciting. 
     
    Right now, as I type this, I am standing in a bunker on Mount Suribachi waiting for the IJN bar to empty so I can mark down another game played.

    That game has always had connection issues. It just seems like you decided to jump in at the wrong time though. LOADS of people played 1943 for a good couple months after it came out, but now it seems the community has died down.

    I wouldn't say that for sure. I got into a game late last night with a full player count.

    I played consistently for a few months after its release.  I never ran into those kinds of problems with the 360 version I played.  I do remember a lot of players having the habit of quitting a few minutes into a game.  3-5 minutes in, you can usually tell which team is going to win.  Maybe the people who still play BF1943 are just rage-quitters.

    Ah, okay. Well I haven't played in some time and was just going off what the OP said.

    There's definitely a lot of people playing, and I think that's part of the problem. I too get many "connection issues" most times I want to play. Sigh, the last trophy eludes me.
