I have played Halo 3, kinda like the game at first, I find the promotion or leveling up interesting and kept me going. But after I hit officer level, I am stuck at skill level 12. No matter how hard I try, and how well I play, my team always meet a stronger team. Out of 250 games, I cannot level up. This is really difficult for players like myself, whose skills are only average. Why is the other team always stronger?? I may have to stop playing because my wife says my whole face turns red, and I get really angry when I play this game. I got high cholestrol and high blood, I am afraid I may 1 day get a stroke while playing this game. It is a good game, but a little too difficult. I consider this game a ''Love, Hate"" game. I see no purpose in playing the game already, kinda given up to level up to skill level 20 to get captain. So difficult to even get to skill level 13, ha ha ha. Thanks Bungie for creating a good not great game, alot of fun but also alot of stress!!!!
I read the article about the True Skill System and it's quite informative and a bit complicated. So the way I see it, the system ranks you on how you play the game on pretty much every aspect. So if you're winning games by playing the same strategy or style, then the system won't see any improvement on your skill level.
I'm having a hard time getting to level 20, but I've been watching my game replays against guys with higher ranking and I noticed they definitely play much more different than I do. I find the same thing when playing with some of my friends with a higher rank, they have a different game style, and just watching them play, I know they are a higher rank.
So try watching those replays and try a different game style or strategy. Try and prove that your skill has improved. Also, if you're playing team slayer, and you notice after a win, the other guys rank up and you don't, just check their k/d ratio or medals and compare that to yours. You'll notice their's is usually higher, which should explain why they rank up.
