Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphors have two parts : form and interpretation; of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom being the briocoleus, the mason.

Yah im gettin the same problems as the other guys...i think... see, it really started to bother me that i was better than most of the guys i would get matched up with, but they thought that i sucked. even when i join in the lobby w/ friends, the kick me b/c of my rank. so i wanted to find out what the deal was, but i didint know where to start. after a while,me ny friends and i thoght that we got to the bottom of it: connection. i have a terrible connection and get disconnected 7 out of 10 games i play.so we went on my xbox and i found a matchmaking game. they looked up my stats on bungie and i was at -22 rank. i got disconnected (aswell as playing bad) and moved down to -24. so that could be the problem with the stats situation or this could have been a complete 2 minutes of your life wasted readin this crap. or i mighta' been helpful. whatever, but of this is the case, i hope like hell bungie changes it (that was a hint for ya bungie ;)] so if your connections terible like mine,then your s.o.l till this " statistacal wierdness" is "rectified."

I recently just became a commander...I watched it on my screen.. 300 exp and give me the commander logo... I exited the lobby and then turned the game off..however, on bungie, it shows my exp at 299 and i'm still a major... I don't get it.... I havent had the chance to go back in the game and see if I still am a commander...but I know I got it. This is just one of the many problems wrong with halo 3... overall its a great game...but honestly did not live up to my expectations... i mean, all the glitching and everything.... the sniping is one of the biggest problems... headshots arent headshots..and sometimes ill completely miss the guy and it will give me a headshot...i expected more out of the creators of halo to fix all the bugs that were in halo 2. I'm glad I'm going to itt-tech for game design...don't worry fellas...in 3 years when I'm creating video games I won't let any of that -blam!- be in my games...haha

Yeah, I finally made Lt. a few days ago and it even gave me the rogue helmet as well. Then I was just checking on my stats today on this site and it said I was still a gunnery sgt. 2nd class. I logged onto my halo three and at first it showed me with a nice silver bar on the side there and then poof I come back two mins later after a potty break and poof-o! Gunnery sgt. 2nd class again :( I had to spend forever getting Lt. and my wife would yell at me staying up so late! and now it has been taken away :( Well I suppose I did get the achievement out of it...then again I went to change my armor as I thought and also saw the security shoulders for a fleeting second and then they too much like my officer rating was taken away from me :( Basically it feels like I'm accomplishing nothing and my wife is like why do you spend so much time playing halo 3? and i'm like look at all the cool stuff I earned...I'm a Lt....oh wait...well anyhow check-out these cool shoulder pads...hum no not those either. She probably thinks I'm lying to her that I stay up late at night to try and earn all these things and sadly I don't have the things I've been trying hardest to get...well I suppose I should work on getting that 1000/1000 now...hopefully the game will let me look at the security helmet...then steal it away and leave me a big sobbing mess :( stupid video game gremlins!

Eh, Bungie! Why the heck can you only put a maximal of 8 weapon holders on the map in Last Resort? They are extremely useful for all kinds of things, yet 8 isn't even enough for a party of 16 people! Also I use them for floating bridges, platforms, etc. Just download my BUNKER DEFENSE map and you'll see some of all the uses I have for them! ALLOW US TO PUT MORE WEAPON HOLDERS ON ARE MAPS!!!

I noticed that, but I also noticed something else.

My number rank won't isn't going up. I played 14 slayer games and won 13 last night. I started as a 15, and only went up to 16. What's up with that? Any explanation??


This happened to me too. I was playing double team and was a level 35, my friend a 34. We played 8 games and won them all in a row. My friend went from 34 to 40. I only gained 1 level. We both got 4 MVP's, so even that is even. WTH happened?

Also I would like to mention almost all of my screen shots do not appear on Bungie.net! It makes me so furious to take a good shot then have to delete it, then retake it, then delete again... they hardly ever show up!

yay! I do not know if it was sheer coincidence or bungie...(i will go with the latter) however shortly after posting last night not only did my rank get fixed so did my security shoulders! I must thank whoever did either or both of these things!


Now the post directly above me (since I was helped...pay it forward) I know halo 3 uses a form of trueskill (it's like a giant mathmatical matrix)...anyhow the math is beyond me however, I can suggest a few possibilities I have heard of that could cause should a flux in skill (which we all know is different than exp). Anyhow, the factors that could be dictating the large difference could be as simple as you need to vary your play in ranked matches (exp, I play alot of lone wolf...fix, start playing more team slayer and winning there of course). That will fix the large variation you're seeing if you are refering to skill (that is to my knowledge, confirmation of this please anyone). If you're talking about experience, than you are correct no one person should be jumping ahead that many points (it's only "suppose" to be one exp per won match). Well, I hope that helps some? I know the skill level and mixing it up is only suppose to really effect very higher ranked people...however I only have a limited (and possibly flawed knowledge base). However, that honestly is about the extent of any explanation one person could give on increasing skill and experience (that didn't create it) from my research on the net, which has been very inclusive. Hope that helps you (or confuses you...any effect will do :)

speakin of fixing... uno how i said that my connection was deducting me?(witch is stupid) , well, my room got moved around and i pulled my xbox out a little bit and it seemed better. i couldnt go in co-op live for five minutes without freezing. me and my friends played for hours and managed to get 5 skulls(almost, but my one idiot friend jump down the tube in the covenant and ended the level before i could jump thru ring 6 for the iwhbyd skull) so yup! problem solved right? nope. my experience still wouldnt move. in fact , my skill in team slayer moved from 7 to 10 in a couple of games, but not my rank. my experience points to move to the next rank said 1 instead of 2 but i didnt get anywhere. in fact, i checked my stats on buigie and i was a -32!!! ever since i got the game my exp. just moved down and even though i owned all day (with the exception of 2 or 3 losses) AND I STILL REMAINED IN THE NEGATIVES!!!! IM AT NEGATIVE THIRTY-TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTH HECK BUNGIE?!?! i think halo 3 is amzing but i cant stand being ridculed for my rank and it is keepin my from getting achevements. i cant complete the game if you guys dont fix the exp situation and i cant get all the rmor or anything. all b/c im missing two achevements? ridculous. cmon bungie. step it up.

Subject: Stats are fine - but matchmaking is not

OK - maybe not the right place...but...it seems that matchmaking is based on current skill level in that particular playlist. This often results in a person who's current skill level is low being pitted against (and amongst) players who's HIGHEST skill achieved is MUCH higher than theirs. It's not much fun for the poor slob being wasted, and it's not much of a challenge for those doing the wasting.

I think matchmaking should be based on the highest skill achieved rather than current skill level. It would result in much closer matches and more enjoyable gameplay for all.

How about it Bugie? Feel like making a change today?

I've had some weird crap happening to my matchmaking... BlackSoleBlade, mooq, and I won 30 games straight in Team Slayer matchmade, and I only went up two levels (from 27-29), BlackSoleBlade only went up one level (from 11-12), and mooq only went from level 5 up to 7. That doesn't add up. We played for five hours straight and mooq only went up two measley levels?!! What the heck is going on here?!!

I am a living poison. A soul so black and withered and tainted by pain and hatred that it consumes my very being. Do not test me; If I strike, my venom will surely kill you before you can open your mouth to cry for help.

I'd like to say first of all, that my stats on the site here are consistently almost a full month behind my in-game stats. Now, I understand that all this fancy stuff is very complex and complicated, and I have no problem with Bungie taking the time to fix it properly. I have always supported and defended Bungie's decisions and even their (mostly negligible) errors. However, I must complain that we don't even have an update on this situation. I think Bungie needs to simply step forward and say "Hey, we're sorry. We thought we had this fixed but it's still buggy. Our bad. Be patient and we'll get it fixed asap." and an estimated time frame would be nice. Hell, anything. Just taking the time to update us on what's going on would probably calm a lot of frustration, guys. Seriously. Bungie, as always you have my support, but throw us a bone here. How are we coming with this?
