Microsoft integrates the game into all of the standard Xbox Live features for the dev, free of charge. That means, mute, friends invites accross the system, private chats, etc. They do use P2P but they still use servers for hosting Xbox Live and mutliplayer enable games. You have to have servers hosting the P2P program which is the matchmaking system. This gives a much more reliable experience on CoD4/5 than their PS3 counterparts.
That answer it for ya?
I really have no idea why the PS3 version sucks so much online, because surely they use server based multiplayer for those games... yet the lag is still awful. Must be the crap matchmaking system.
