I've got mine set to "Recreational". I was wondering if that would effect who I would play online against.

Nope, it basically just says what you are.

Thats pretty dumb to implent it then have it do nothing. The descriptions on the zones make it sound like if u pick family its everyone whoes friendly and kind and all that crap. And if u pick underground its all the people who don't care.

Doesn't it try best to match you up with people from those zones like how rep works?

O yea, I just looked it up on google and you are right, but you don't get matched all the time, but it narrows down your chances of playing with your group.

I know this is off topic, but why did my topic get locked about jack thompson.

It tries to match you up, but if it did that thoroughly you would be in the lobby for 10 minutes for one game.

You would think that it would match you up with people of the same category, but I really haven't noticed any consistency when I play. It's more like a way to identify your playing attitude than anything else.

I almost never play with people in my zone, whenever I look at the gamercards of the people I play with they are always Pro or Recreational never Underground which I think is the minority barely anyone uses it.

No...that would be nice though. The zone is just there, it doesn't really do anything.

I wish it would. I get teamed up often against "underground" players (me being "recreational") and it seems they cuss the most, quit most often and are largely rude. The should rename "underground" to "pre-puberty" and "pro" to "I wish I was a pro".

supposedly, but I don't see it, especially in games that don't match you up, but you just search for open games.

Yeah right man, Underground is with the people that just play multiplayer and team based shooters from what I've seen.
