Okay, here's a little preview of my time playing the multiplayer thus far.
It's a Call of Duty game through and through. You're running around and shooting weapons with a high rate of fire and you move on. I played the heck out of Call of Duty 4 when I used to have GameFly and honestly, I'm rather bored of the Call of Duty experience and this doesn't change much of anything. It's certainly not 'utter shit', but it's only decent in my opinion.
For a number of rounds it wasn't bad and I'd constantly check my ping and it looked fine. I was playing alright even though the matchmaking apparently thought I was amazing enough to play with players level 50+. However, there were a couple stumbles when we're all set to start a game and when the timer hit zero, the lobby closes and the wait was for nothing. After an hour or two, the peer-to-peer connection became an ugly experience when a host decided to quit early in the match making the rest of the match run in slow motion and run terribly.
I didn't spent a whole lot of time with Call of Duty 4 on PC, but I did get to partake in the World at War PC beta and while I did tire of the experience rather quickly, I was playing in servers with a low ping and there would be 30+ players in them. Seems like a waste to ruin that and instead give you a lower player count with more connection issues.

MW2 doesn't matchmake based on levels. In fact, I think it only matches based on connectivity(region, ping, etc).
