GamesCampus.com has announced a round of new features for their global online trading card game, Carte. The new Carte Arena is a matchmaking system that adds numerous functions for the card battle system. First is an automated matchmaker system, which will queue up willing opponents and search for suitable foes to conquer. This pairing system will also intelligently match players of approximate skill level together; no more inadvertently playing an opponent who is completely dominating or completely clueless.

The new Arena also saves each season, both to compile a ranking for all players but for players to be able to review past match history to either brag about their stunning victory, or study what led to their embarrassing loss. A detailed section on union stats will also be available to players, allowing them to get a better insight into card combinations and adjust their decks and strategies to suit their needs.

This is all in addition to the freshly minted Arena Medals, which is earned by competing in any Arena match. This new currency allows players to purchase exclusive heroes and a variety of cards not found anywhere else in Carte.

"The matchmaking system in Carte has always been one of the game's crowning achievements, but we knew it needed some refinement, so we asked the players what their top suggestions were and went to work." said Hubert Yee, Head of Marketing at GamesCampus. "With numerous tweaks, both big and small, players will see an immediate difference in their matches."
