if you play on a certian part of xbox live (called "matchmaking") you are given a level. everyone starts at level 1, and depending on their skill, their levels increase. for example, if you never made a kill in your history, you will be given the level 1. if you are the uber-god of halo, you will be given a much higher level. there are and unlimited number of levels, but right now the maximum is around level 50. you gain levels for wining games, lose levels for losing games. in matchmaking, you are matched with people of similar levels, and therefore, a similar skill level.
