I am sick and tired of not going up in ranking because my team sucks i average at least 18 kills per game and I am usually MVP but my team always loses it for me becuase they only have 6 or 7 . I say they should rank on how well you do in a game, like they give you one EXP if you were MVP but your Team lost and one if you won you get one EXP and if you were MVP and your team won then you get two. I am always unlucky to having the most suckiest teams ever!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone else agree or disagree or have another solution to this problem??

Then what would the point of a team game be? The hole idea behind it is working as a team to win, and the entire team either is rewarded or fails. I think you should try helping your team and working with them... have one of them drive and you shoot.. or if one of them has tunnel vision with the sniper rifle, rather then just running past him cover him so he doesn't get jumped.. etc etc..

I understand your pain i hate it just as much but i always have to remember that its team based not solo based, if you want xp for doing good by yourself its the lone wolves for you.

You have a 0.92 k/d in social..... and a whole 1.09 in ranked, I'm gonna have to say you probably did that good and your team did bad maybe twice. Either that or your mistaken you going 18 for over 20 deaths and team mates that are like 6 and 2 because they were sitting back not running in stupidly.

In a recent weekly update, bungie stated clearly that ranking is determined by 1) winning 2) how well you did.

Apparently, if you're not going up in rank for losing...you're not really pulling your weight. (Having a negative K/D is not pulling your weight, even if you have a good amount of kills.)

I got a +36 in big team one time. My team lost. No EXP for me.

You underestimate the idiocy of complete morons.

I have a little over 100 games right now. I play social BTB. Why? because, I played about 20 games straight of my team getting pwnt. Was it my fault? No. None of them try to coordinate, none of them understand they aren't a tank and the other team isn't rabbits prancing in a meadow, waiting to be blasted. They rush headlong into stuff. And I bet if I told them they were idiots, and explained to them that you needed to work together, they'd probably say "dude chill, it's just a game". Yeah, it is, one I'm sick of losing thanks to you.

I'm not going to say this guy is exactly pulling his team's weight, but I've been in a situation a few times where I AM the only one carrying the team, and it sucks. Why? Because the other team has teamwork, and it won't matter how good you are, unless you're 5 times better than everyone on the other team, you have no hope of taking down someone's shields before you are blasted by the combined fire form a well organized team, which usually consists of a vehicle, a sniper, a couple grenades, and lots of the automatic weapon fire. Have less than a fraction of a second to live sucks.

Alas the only solution is to this problem is simple: get friends to work with you. The problem is finding 3-8 friends all within a similar skill level is tough. Really tough. I don't have that many friends that play Halo, and the ones that do have skills which pale in comparison to mine. I'm not Halo-Master or halo god, but I'm pretty good, and when the game matches me up with people who it has mistaken to have the same skill as me, I cry a little inside, since it's insulting to know that the computer either thinks I'm as bad as them or that they are as good as me.

Would be nice if losses gave 1 point and wins gave 2, as long as the game had systems in place to tell if a match has been rigged.
