Worst problem with Modern Warfare 2

As for P2P, CoD4 had a terrible, terrible setup that stopped the game anytime the host dropped/quit, and if it happened at the start of the game (which seemed to happen in about half the games) the resultant draw counted as a loss.  Words fail me. 

MW2 doesn't quit out when the host drops, which  makes it indescribably better for me.  Maybe my standards are low, but ignorance is bliss.  Although I have noticed the connection bias mentioned in another post. 

I'm aware of that. In my experience with Modern Warfare 2 on PS3 and PC, host migration usually isn't a very smooth transition. Most of the time there is a tremendous amount of lag (enough to make it unplayable in some cases) in the time prior to and after the migration and I have had to sit through a number of long waits only to get a 'migration failed' which boots everybody back to the lobby anyway.

It's a step in a better direction compared to Call of Duty 4 on the consoles. However, my gripe stems from the PC version where Call of Duty 4 uses dedicated servers and Modern Warfare 2 forces P2P on everybody where, in my opinion, there wasn't a problem that the P2P would be fixing.

Really?  It's not that bad on the PS3.  I mean, there's usually a substantial wait while it figures out the new host, but once it gets going again I've rarely had a problem with lag after the first couple seconds.  Before the host dropped, of course, whatever connection issues were causing that would impact gameplay often enough. 

Failed migrations happened to me but weren't commonplace.
