Can't find players/lobbies always empty Star wars Battlefront 2

I bought Star Wars BF2 two days ago and I'm very dissapointed. I have contacted technical support and they could'nt help me. When I join any mulitplayer mode I get placed into a lobbies with the population of me and one or two other individuals, numerous times I have consulted them and they have the same empty lobby problems. And most of us live in South-Africa, a few also in other countries. I would like to get this issue resolved as soon as possible seeing as I tried every single troubleshooting method that was given to me by tech support.
