While I don't see the point in adding these rules to MW2 (as I find COD 4 to be much better in almost every multiplayer perspective), I can see why they'd want to have it more balanced and why they'd prefer playing this.
That said, I can't see why this actually bothers people. In COD 4 I prefer to play on a server that's free of grenadelaunchers and endless grenade spamming altogether, does that make me a worse player? No, it means I have different preferences to some people.
Honestly, why do people think it's IMPOSSIBLE to have fun playing the game differently? In fact, TF2 is regarded as an awesome game by most on these forums (or that's what it seems like to me), and it's an offspring of that exactly, wanting to play a game differently.

What ever happened to playing for fun?
Died the second online multiplayer was invented. Now everythings super serious business.
My rule of thumb is that if you have to apply a whole bunch of special rules to a game to be good, you probably suck pretty hard.
This here comment as an example. Playing the game as it's "meant to be played" as you preach it does not make you better nor does it mean you are enjoying yourself more. For example I like playing COD 4 both modded and unmodded, so what am I? Some kind of crossover between completely horrible (which I'm not) and the set of "good players" who play it "like it's meant to be played?" Seriously, that's just offensive, and like I said before, this wanting to play the game differently results in new and fun things (TF2 like I mentioned above).
Why is it that there's such an enormous attitude towards people for wanting to play the game differently? And who says playing professionally automatically means you're worse (which is obviously completely wrong), and can't have fun with it?
I know you said "probably," but it's still pretty cheap generalizing so much about everyone who prefers a different playstyle to you.
