Also it's going to be impossible to have a game with more than 6-8 people as the lag will get unbearable.
The biggest problem for me is I enjoy joining the same server and playing with roughly the same group of people when I play (but also have the option to play with new people). Eventually you get to know the people you play with and this is what creates a game community. With matchmaking you CAN play with your friends but you have to create a "party" beforehand making it harder to generate any kind of new, expanded community.
I don't want to join a random game with new random people each time in a smaller game with unreliable connections. This is the reason I don't ever play Halo as I got sick of the disconnects and overall aggravation with asshats that you get matched with (on a dedicated server you can have rules and admins can boot the idiots).
Bottom line: Online multiplayer will be unplayable due to lag and lack of community.

Thanks
lack of mod I can deal with...but playing with just 6-8 ppl is retarded
I should probably cancel the pre-order and just dl it for the single player
