I have a lot of friends who play almost exclusively shooters and this kind of stuff is what's put me off of the genre. I really miss back when you could get a copy of unreal tournament or half life deathmatch and just drop in w/ all the guns unlocked and available and just rampage.
I know it's a different genre completely from the more realistic shooters like Battlefield and Call of Duty, but even still I miss the unfettered drop-in fun in those older games and there seem to be hardly any left.

Nowadays you're locked out of most of the weapons in MP unless you're willing to put in 40+ hours (and much much more in some games).

Old Battlefield was great for drop-in fun too. My high school had Battlefield Vietnam on the library computers, and you could usually find a couple people running a LAN game at lunch to drop into if you wanted.
