I think the whole "play with different people to rank up quicker" is not necessarily true because of the people themselves, but because of matchmaking quality. As far as I know, matchmaking quality is also determined into your rank when the TrueSkill assesses whether or not to rank you up, and when you go in with all randoms, or at least one friend, you avoid the party restrictions that are present in Halo 3's matchmaking.
When you avoid the party restrictions, it's MUCH easier to find games instead of the matchmaking system forcing itself to look for a party of 3 or party of 4 whenever you're in a party yourself.
This party restriction thing for ranked matches needs to go.
Its possible you are right but how would you explain doubles partners getting stuck then? I have seen countless examples of doubles guys getting stuck without any matchmaking quality issues.
