so what you are saying is that if i am a grade 2 captain with 29 skill and have 25 sigma in the team slayer playlist, it will take many wins to rank up to skill 30 (major rank). However, if i have 10 sigma in team swat, it will take a significantly less amount of time to rank up, correct?

well i simply switched my usual playlist and went into lone wolfs and my skill rose and next thing i know i see a grade 2 gunnery sarg. to a grade 2 lt. oh and btw i just got the achive in a new playlist took a while but was no big deal. Was simply freeaked out because i sudenly skiped two ranks. I think you are right but for me it was probly a simple fluke gl ranking up before reach.

It doesn't matter what any of you say about it it ain't right and it is biased. I've had three of the games two under a different gamer tag I am ranked higher than someone I put two grenades and empty a clip with a. 45 clip and two bullets I die. On average I have a 20-25 kill game how come on the last sat I only get 8 kills a game? With no one in the room with a higher rank?

Don't believe me?

Thats was a pretty good breakdown of what the system is probably doing. Although I'm not playing for any crazy high ranking and just for fun its nice to see they actually put thought into making it complex.
