Missions are all way too high level

I've been unable to find any non 95 or higher difficulty missions as every single missions no matter the reputation level is either 90 - 100 or an endgame mission. Unless I can figure this out I can't play this damn game.

Are you using any mods, perchance?

May I slightly hijack your thread, as its kind of related and I don't know where to express it. You mention missions are too high level in the end game but, unless I'am doing something wrong, my feedback is about the start of the game (and the AI).
I'am very experienced playing MW but the game start looks too difficult! This looks wrong, we shouldnt be being wiped out at the start and having it easier later.
Why does this happen? because the AI rushes you (the player not the npcs) directly in waves of 2 or 3 (no cover, no nothing, just run) the tanks and helicopters barely miss a shot and, since we are piloting lights, their armor is super low and this in NORMAL. I just put it on EASY until i get mechs with actual armor but I don't think this is very good, or are we REALLY expected to change mech once its almost destroyed (since AI barely attacks our team). I'am not criticizing everything, just think the start in NORMAL isnt doing the game any favors, but middle game and late it's fine. (I don't use Mods and probably won't either.)

This is why I use this if I want to have a bit more diversity for the conflict zones.

They're still reputation based but at least now if you start a career you're not forced to spend a few days doing nothing but flying to a more appropriate zone for your starting company.
