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 :)
