I loved all modes, though I love DM, Invasion, and Assault the most in UT2004. I HATE matchmaking. I want to be able to choose my server based on mutators, players, ping, etc.

 

LOL.  We have such diverse tastes.  I enjoy the prospect of matching different people up based on skill level.  There is no joining a game once it has started.  There is so much player churn on teams on dedicated servers.  Somewhat diminishes a win.  I enjoy the closed nature of a match in matchmaking.  Also, the next round will be a completely different set of people to play against.  And it all happens without any input from me.

It actually reinforces the idea of a team.  You see the pre-game lobby.  You see the people you are playing against.  And you can be damn sure that no one else other than those people will be playing.

 

Until they quit....

 

LOL.  Yes, you make a valid point.  This doesn't happen all that often to me though.  Especially in ranked lists.  There are strengths and weaknesses of each type.  I just prefer the idea of matchmaking.  This could be done via dedicated servers, it would just be a lot harder to implement than P2P.

And I definitely enjoy the domination of people in a short amount of time as well.
