Man am I glad I read this. I have been stuck at 5 forever and my teammates are up to 9, and we only play together. It makes total sense now... I am glad I took stats now! : ) Epic win! Thanks for the post.

Very well thought out, and very well organized. While I already had a decent grasp on this from Microsoft's website, tis could be the proverbial Halo ring against all 'My rank isn't moving' threads.

P.S. You can has Recon.
you can has recon lol

Does your amount of EXP affect how fast your rank goes up? And also, if I stopped playing for one whole week, would that make my Sigma go up?

No and No.

Alright I guess that's good to know. I just continued to hear people say that when you're a grade two it is harder to rank up. But another question just came to me. In lone wolves, you can get EXP by being in the top three, so can you get skill by being in the top three?

You definately get a skill boost from the 3 people you beat, but it is undetermined right now whether 3rd is considered a win like it is for EXP, or just simply 3rd in a pile of 6.

No...lone wolves all depends on the skills of the players you beat and lose to...thats why this post doesnt explain everything

what about social matches? do they affect your two things that affect the skill ranking system? (like say if i forfeit a social, will that effect my win and loss streak and whatnot)

you just gotta play and play to win basically i played roughly about 750 games and have close to 600 EXP not counting the games i quit out.. alot of people i know had the hardest time getting from a 45 to a 50 and it is hard i have a 49 48 and a 47 and i stopped playing for the most part.. If u play lonewolves u can tell where your skill level is because you dont depend on anyone else. I make One Month accounts and go 21-7 while my teammates go 4-12 and they get the level because i won the game. Its true about your win to loss ratio that determines if u level up more then usual because if youve played 1200 games and won 500 then ur not even at .500% so why should they level you up? Im willing to play with anyone really but my Slayer 49 And DT are 47 so if ur lower or cant stay with the levels i have a one month with two 35s in slayer n dt so if anyone wants 2 play my GT is TrU InsTiNcTs and the one month is iNfAmOus LeGaCy

let me make this simple kids...

i get 30 kills and get +25 K/D spread
my friend gets 40 but gets -15 K/D spread
and because microsoft is full of fa.ggots he evidentially did better than me

That's funny, the original post says:
Quote from Original Post:
After a win, the Trueskill system adjusts your skill ranking based upon the Mu and Sigma of all the players in the game.
