For any multiplayer newbies here: that means you are
1 - randomly teamed up with other members who may be a thousand times better than you are so that you end up with a 1/1000 kill/death ratio
2 - there are no moderators, which means you usually don't last longer than 10 secs before some bunnyhopping spawnkiller backstabs you
Even better, if you've earned an airstrike or another similar killstreak award, in the 2nd round of a game you can immediately order a strike directly over the enemies' spawnpoint getting dozens of kills with absolutely no skills whatsoever

I think I'll be moving back to CoD5:WaW soon...

I totally agree, I too have played CoD6 online and found that if you just play online every so often you're going to be killed in a matter of seconds due to the lack of dedicated servers..
After an half hour of online play, I turned the voice-over-ip volume to zero; the only thing you hear are 12 year old's yelling and making stupid sounds..
The thing I do like is that you can create a lobby with only friends!

So, welcome back!
