Hence, many Call of Duty players try to reverse boost so they can find easier opponents. It’s an act of deliberately trying to match against lower-skilled players in multiplayer matches.

This is quite a funny take on the game by the insider. All he wants to convey is that the upcoming game won’t be an epic Call of Duty whatsoever. Despite that, it will make a lot of money because MP lovers will want to enjoy a great experience by choosing easier lobbies using reverse boost. It will be interesting to see if the anticipated installment actually ends up breaking sales records or not.
