The idea behind matchmaking is to eliminate this - and really, speaking as just another player, I find trawling through server lists a pain in the arse. I'm not a "freaken braindead tard", I just don't want to waste time looking for a game to play when I can be playing it instead.
Sure matchmaking is good and everything, but at what cost? You will be put in a random game against other people (probably asians coz our connection to them are the lowest) and play on high pings all alone. With CoD4 currently, all you got to do is check on mygaming forums (or any other place) for a list of IP's of servers like vodacom, igame, sgs, IS. You type that into cod4 and you're all set. Save it to your favourites and next time u just select it from the list.

But I understand where they coming from:
1) It eliminates piracy (although people will find a way around, at least at the start every1 has to buy it)
2) They don't like the fact that there are bad servers currently hosted, and some people too stupid to realise its not the game, but the server that is bad. That gives them a bad name so they want to control all the servers and allow people to use THEIR tools to get proper settings.
3) It might seem harsh if you think about the connection problems, but if you live in the US you wouldnt know about, lets say 10 000, South African gamers who wont be able to play their game.
