So what happens when you when 50 games in a row while getting positive 10 each game and you do not get to general rank? Meh Bungie fails.

Hi I'm RT and I like to argue!

Is this the first time in B.net history that a topic has remained alive long enough for it's creator's account to be deleted?

That's why i put bungie fails because that's ridiculous that this guy had to explain it bcuz they couldnt. Plus the ranking system is crap as well. Thank you for automatically suggesting that I have a short attention span though. =/

I really have to say that in the last two and a half years ive been playing halo 3, or atleast the launch night of the 24th of sept. 2007, i have greatly enjoyed this game and its features. My main problem, only problem, with halo(as a series) is that the muliplayer never seemed to appeal me as a player, but in halo 3 that changed for me as i grew to like the way it played through ranking and determining who is matched with or against you,



That would be 1.5 years, not 2.5

Nothing is better than gaming through the day, into the night, then back into the day. It's like when you finally push that power button you feel like you've accomplished nothing, but at the same time, you can't stop smiling.

Probably.

The TC was El Kafungus and he was deleted a few months ago. He abandoned the thread a long long time ago but a few people have stuck around to continue to answer questions and keep this thread alive. It was a sticky in H3 for a long time but when the update happened that created pinned topics on the side instead of Stickies on the top, it was unstickied and not pinned.

If you go on a streak (winning or losing) You will start to go up (or down) a lot faster. Wins and losses are the only things that determine which way you go (not inside game performance). So if you alternate winning and losing, you will likely stay that rank for a long time.

1. Develop the skills equal a lvl 40-50 BEFORE you even start to play ranked playlists
2. Win games

That's the only way to level up constantly in matchmaking without creating 15 gamertags in the process.

Can anyone explain whats going on with my other gamer tags. i have been playing ranked team slayer and i have one i would say 80 out of 94 games and i haven't even past level 31 because it is taking so long to rank up. in some cases we would win 10 games in a row and not even rank up and further more last night me and my buddy went on like a 50 game winning streak and it will not rank us up. check it out. the gamer tags are sSsDxRxAxMxAsSs and sSsKxAxRxMxAsSs. this is so stupid. bungie seriously needs to figure out there stuff.

p.s. i think it is unfair that one person can have a level of 49 in team slayer with only 40 some wins but i can only have a level 31 with 81 wins out of 97 team slayer games. I think there is something wrong with that!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you are playing in a mixed skill party (more than 10 skill levels apart) or with all the same teammates for all or most of your games it will really slow you down. I didn't go check your history but that is the issue 99% of the time.

If you fail at something then redefine success.

Thank you, I don't want to start a new acc but I might have to because I played like 10 games and I'm not ranking up at 20. ( Won every single game )

Well I couldn't find it in your game history on the last few pages but usually this happens when you have a DNF in the game before your loss. If you quit and you team went on to win, you get credit for the win but it hasn't been reflected in your skill level yet because you started a new game before the one you DNF ended.

great explanation mate, just one question.
Why don't you rank up as much in a team, as you do on your own?

Is it possible to get those equations up? The link is broken.

can anyone explain to me what would make my account with 60 wins in a row in snipers, no losses at all, be stuck at a level 38? I have won 11 games in a row on my 38 but don't go up. It doesn't make any sense. Well i just leveled up to a 39 after 12 games in a row. Bungie you need to fix the system it sucks for people who are actually good. I mean seriously i have won 62 games in a row i shouldn't be a 39 i should have gotten a 50 a long time ago. . .

Just about every page of this thread has your answer. Playing in a mixed skilled party (more than 10 apart) will get you 1/100th the amount of skill when winning compared to a non-mixed skill party. Plus you are the highest skill in the party and your lower skilled teammate is bringing in opponents of lower average skill than you. This means you are getting very little for those wins.
