I think its a lack of control of local LAN play and impact to modding communities which has people up in arms.
Also the dubious "we did market research which showed" this was the best course for the PC market. Clearly this was a corporate deal between IW and the providers of the service.[ Veteran ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 878 ]bids

Most decent clans will at some point organise themselves in such a way as to subsidise a clan server. This will become a home for the clan and clanmates and will normally involve configuring the server the way they like it which may mean certain server plugins or mods.
Of course the other area for clans at least is to have the capability to arrange matches. This will also involve in configuring the server for the clan match.
Most clans will then choose to make these dedicated servers public and will then use these public dedicated servers for the purpose of recruitment and ensuring they get to play the game hassle free. This would mean changing the mapcycle and kicking or banning unwanted players.
To take this away without any consultation affects both the Game service providers and the Clans who use these services. This certainly seems cavalier and is certainly one of the biggest reasons for the lashing out.
Taking clan members away most persons rely on dedicated servers to play games. These dedicated servers are typically provided by clans or the game service providers. The end users do not pay for these services.
