Gamer Zones

[Gabriel]

So, what difference does your gamer zone make? I'm not even sure if that's the proper term for it. I'm talking about where you select if you're a part of the Recreation, Pro, or Underground zones.

 

I don't see how it makes one tiny whit of difference. It doesn't seem to be used for matchmaking in games.

 

The only difference I've noticed is that generally people who choose Recreation tend to have higher gamerscores.

Not sure what the zones mean, I don't think they affect anything either. Maybe they were going to at one time.

Probably just a way to customize your profile, and nothing more. I chose underground for mine. Dunno why, just did.

I've always had Recreation. I originally picked it thinking I'd get paired up with like minded gamers on XBL, but that's not the case.

 

Not sure why MS doesn't use it. Seems like they should have just gotten rid of it with the new experience upgrade.
