I just tried to play an online match just now but it failed to find players 7 times in a row

and this isn't a rare occurrence either, it takes ages to find players all the time and never seems to work on the first attempt.

When the game finds a player, one of the five stars becomes highlighted, but the game seems to lose the players after finding them for some reason.

I don't know whether its the lack of players online or the fault of the game itself but it's really a shame because the online play is really fun. It'a huge improvement over World at War so if any of you are still playing that online then I'd strongly recommend switching over to this one. I'd experienced connection problems with World at War but they were never this bad.
