Thoughts/Questions on Progression

I understand that there is no pleasing everyone. I understand that people want to be rewarded with something more than useless electricity flowing over their body when they dedicate a lot of time to a game.

However, I have a full time job and a social life. Does this new progression system mean I am going to be at a disadvantage to a noob that is jobless and decides to be a recluse? Or will I be matched up with people with a similar SR? Because I plan to play through the Campaign first too, which will put me even more of a pickle.

I’m not a scrub and I don’t want to be beaten by people that aren’t as skilled just because they’ve been playing the game longer.

Also, how are the specializations different from prestige in CoD? (I don’t play CoD)
