With a new version of the Xbox, comes a new version of its Xbox Live matchmaking system to match up the gamers with fair competition.
They system analyzes your abilities in games and decides a rank or skill level for your play, and matches you with others that rank the same as you. It is also said to be smart enough to realize if someone else is playing your account for a game or two and losing rediculous (or if you are having a really bad day), and it won’t penalize you as bad as the older system would have.
It would be interesting to do the reverse though. Go on my little brothers account, and whoop all competitors until the system matches him with players he can’t beat. I am so mean…
