I can't think of one off the top of my head, maybe you could enlighten me as to which games died soley due to no in game joining?

The first one that comes to mind is Operation Flashpoint on the PC and Battlestations Midway on consoles. I promise you, a smaller audience + no lobby + no joining of a game in progress = few to no online matches and a very limited lifespan.
There are maybe 30-50 people even attempting to play online at peak hours with a game this small. Since war games appeal to a more international audience that play at different hours that number may be even smaller. Unless everyone is friends and agrees to play at a certain time it will be very difficult to get some full games going.
You can't compare the audience of Forza 2 to this game. Forza 2 will sell 1000x the copies and of course it would make no sense to join a race after it has already started.
