Just want to play online...

Yes. This is a great game but it was released with a few flaws and 505 has apparently played a few too many rounds of grab-a** before addressing the patch. Us Xbox owners are 2nd class here as the PS3 patch was just recently released (after a very, very long wait) and just now 505 will handle the Xbox patch. Hopefully the Xbox patch will show in the next few weeks/months. Read around here, there is some good info mixed with a lot of complaints. Search for Anton's posts.

It appears most of the good folks here prefer Sim mode, I'm sure they will chime in. There still appears to be occasional games where a lot of players turn out. I typically play Realistic, Sim just hurts my eyes too much. I have not played in a while mostly because everyone that I had played with moved on when MW2 came out and along with the lack of a patch. I also suck at this game, I rarely gets kills yet I often put many planes into the ground but I don't get credit for that as of now

Once the patch comes I will be back at it as I'm sure many others will be. This is easily the best game I own for the Xbox 360.

Edit: When the game says the likes of "No server available" it means that no one is playing or no games are open to join. Just keep trying for a while and maybe you will jump into a group after their game ends and before the next begins. You can't join games in progress or even know they are there. Another flaw. Once you have some friends or former players on the game you can see if they are playing and know if a game is in progress or not.
