Gearheads of War

Call of Duty 4 has provided me with the worst online experience I could have ever imagined.  Who in the fuck set this beta up?  They must be the absolute dumbest people on the planet.  I know some of it has to do with people getting it illegally, but would they not think that would happen?  It's a really obvious way around it, how could they not have prepared for that?  I started my beta up today at 11:30 in the morning.  I was fed up at 5:30.  In that SIX HOUR PERIOD, I played FIVE GAMES.  I don't remember what the time limit is on games, but it can't be more than 20 minutes (though they lasted usually about 10 minutes).  I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say that they all took 20 minutes to complete.  In SIX HOURS, I should be able to play 18 games, not 5.  I'll say the time between games takes a litte time off, so maybe around 15.  BUT NOT 5.  I would sit in lobbies for 30 minutes just to have 2 or 3 people join and then leave.  I tried joining games of people on my friend's list and recent player's list, but it worked only twice for people on my friend's list (Texas and Captain), and twice for people on my recent player's list.  I got the message "This server is full" or "The host is not responding" at least 50 times, and that's not an exaggeration.  I think  based on the fact that this was the worst experience I've ever had on Live or on the internet, I'm probably not going to buy Call of Duty 4.  If they put me through that much fucking waiting and waiting and waiting, they don't deserve my money (I know my $60 means nothing to them, but still).  Is it running buttery smooth for other people?  From lots of other people I came across it sounds like it's shitty for them, too.
