I think a minimun level requirements for silver and gold should be enforced, if nothing else to help out noob likes myself who select random game. I started playing multiplayer yesterday, knowing nothing of bronze, silver, gold and had a very bad experience. My first match, with a lvl 1 soldier, i couldn't poke out of cover without my shields being blown away. I tought "how could wawe 1 possibily be so hard?". Squad wiped on wave 1 and everybody left lobby. I selected random game again and got in a lobby where i got kicked, did it again and once more i got kicked. I started thinking "the hell is wrong? Ok i'm level one but what's the problem? game is new". Finally got into a match, wich i learned being silver after it endend, and got to wave 9. I obviously got carried there. So in the end i finally noticed the whole difficulty system. The game should really enforce bronze in some way to noobs like me. I endend up having a bad time and probably ruining game for others wich had to baby sits me all the way...
Lol, I had a similar experiance in the demo. We all had mics though and all of us were new and were going why the hell is so hard?! We can't even get past wave 2!! (and that was pushing it, lololol) Till like noobs we realized it was silver and were all too low leveled to handle it, haha.
Based on that, I don't get MAD really when a starter MP ends up in the harder difficulties but I'm still gonna vote to boot. Again, sorryz if I ever booted any of ya, lol.
