It's Mufftacular!!

very nice. must have taken a long time to think of all that stuff.

All the explanations in the world don't change the fact that the system doesn't produce games where people have reasonably comparable skills (as opposed to official skill level). In virtually every ranked game I've ever played there has been a huge range of skill from best to worst and in most of them one or two people clearly dominated the game.

Ranking up question: I'm a Colonel Grade 2 with 1190 exp. 1200 exp will make me a Colonel Grade 3. If I become a Colonel Grade 3, can I still be promoted to Brigadier if I hit 45 skill level?

You'll become a brig grade 2. If you wanted to be a plain brig you'd have to lose 200 plus exp

Good to know, thanks Blueprint!

Halo is great. Bungie is great.

How does the system work in FFA games? If you got fourth in lone wolves but 4th and 5th were higher than you and 1-3 were higher, are you going to raise up?

This is old so I will post it here. An established account quits a bunch of Team Doubles games. It then pairs up with a new account to "boost" that account up quickly. It really is more about the uncertainty and match quality aspects of the skill system.

Group is Soldiers of War, ask for invite if you're interested

It's surprising how even after nearly three years halo 3 has been out I find this particular post very informitive and, in a sense, up-to-date with the game and it's progress.

  • 09.02.2010 11:55 AM PDT

This post is indeed very helpful, however i still have one question. When people quit games because they are losing halfway through, do they still lose the skill points or is it null and void?

Also, if your playing with 6 people and 2 people quit, then you come fourth, is it registered s 4/6 or 4/4?

Sorry if this has been asked but im not going through 104 pages to find out. Google also didnt seem to be very helpful for once.

  • 09.03.2010 11:48 AM PDT

When it comes to the higher ranks like Lieutenant and above is the skill requirement based on highest skill or your highest playlist skill. Sorry if this has been answered alerady but, I wasn't in the mod to read through 104 pages of posts.
