can someone explain to me how the rating system works. i have won 25 straight team slayer games as a level 30, and no not with a mixed party but have yet to level up, is this normal? if it would take this long for everyone i wouldnt be complaining because than it would be fair, but at one time while doing team doubles we had a record of 38-1 as a level 29, our opponents were 28-1 yet were a level 33 WHY?? and finally, i was at the same team slayer level for 43 straight wins before leveling up none of this makes any sense and quite frankly im just tired of being hosed so if you have any explanation to any of this i would greatly appreciate it

I don't understand it either. My personal opinion and I have no facts to back this up other than what I've seen with my rank is that there is some sort of anti-boosting mechanism in the rank system. Meaning if you win 20 or 30 straight, the system will see that as a potential booster and not rank you up.

I bet if you lost, and then won 2 or 3 matches, you'll rank up. Because that's what happens to me all the time. I'll win 10 in a row, not rank up, lose one, then the next win I rank up.

It has something to do with the TrueSkillâ„¢ system wanting to work the way Bungie doesn't want. (i.e. it can figure out your rank in literally 6 games, when Bungie doesn't want it to) Then when you throw in mixed skill parties it gets even more crazy. Sad, right? Just win games, play well. I haven't had any ranking problems myself I think it may have to do with how you play when you first pick up the game, since it guesses your skill.

By the way, Weggie's never won more than 3 or 4 games in a row. His opinion is to be taken lightly. :D

(Just kidding Weggie, recall a 5 game win streak once)
