Did they make ME3 Multiplayer harder (Galaxy at War)?

It has literally been about a decade since I played ME3 multiplayer. I assumed it had been scrapped and the servers shut down. I saw a comment on here a few weeks ago mentioning it was still up, so I got back on. I used to play Golds and Platinums (I always started with Gold, only Platinum if I was feeling really "on").

I came back on and decided to try a Silver just to get back into the swing of it...and I was dying left and right. It felt like what I thought Platinums used to be! I tried a Bronze and even it was pretty tough.

Was there some "updates" to get the difficulty higher as people started maxing out guns and characters, or what's going on? Am I just that bad now?
