Not very. Battlefield 1943 simply sold way past their expectations and they never had enough dedicated servers to support the waves of players.
They spent all day adding more dedicated servers and now they are upgrading them all to increase their capacity. The Online is very much alive, you just have to wait in a que and quickly squeeze in once somebody drops out before anybody else. You can then play endlessly untill you either quit or get disconnected which is rare.
Also Trial users only have 25 minutes of playtime. Once that is up they can never play it again unless they purchase the game.
