Im a 23 in team snipers and i won 3 good games. MVP in all of them and i still didnt rank up? Am i level locked? I pulled off a killtac in my last game but when i checked my skill... still at 23. And my friend was playing with me. He started at 24 and ranked up all those games. Now he is a 27. WHY??

what are you a general? brigadier?

Try Lone Wolfs that is hard to level up when your 43! It takes up to 5 or 6 games to go up 1 skill level! So don't worry your not alone and it's not 'skill-locked'.

MVP doesn't matter and rank lock doesn't exist. You just suck at snipes so it takes you longer to go up.

You have a bad record in snipes. So it takes longer for you to rank up. 3 isn't even much though. Try winning like 10+ and not going up.

Rank Lock doesn't exist, your record is just bad.

I know that the more exp you have, the harder it is to level. I have 1790 exp... but even at level 23 in any other playlist, i would rank up practically after each game *with the same amount of exp as now.

  • 08.11.2010 3:57 PM PDT

fear me, for i am pro sauce

skill locked is just an excuse for not going up, youmight have a bit too much exp in that playlist, i have 200+ exp in team slayer and i can win 5+ in a row and not go higher, i was a 36 dropped to 30 due to derankers anbd now wont go past 34.

No such thing as level lock. It's just a video game. Get over it.

It doesn't matter how much experience you have, it matters how much you've won and lost in that playlist, and how consistently you can beat players higher level than you.

I got to 43 in lone wolves when I first started playing, then lost a ridiculous amount of games and went back to 39. Much later, when I became a better player, I went up 6 levels to 45 in one night. It took about 6-7 1st places games per level up, and any time I placed in the bottom 3, I'd have to place 1st to offset the loss and 1st again to gain ground in order to level up.

The bottom line is, to level up, you have to consistently beat people under you, and consistently beat people higher than you. If you don't do both of those things, you won't level up. But you're not locked in place.

I cant believe how ignorant and stupid people are.

This game has been out for close to 3 years, and countless people have explained the Trueskill ranking system, yet there are still people surprised at how they rank up/down.

I could tell you exactly what is going on, but whats the point.

4 Shot with my MAC Blast !

Dude I have a 11 in squad battle.. I win all the time and never rank up and I have like 30 exp in it lol.

  • 08.11.2010 5:05 PM PDT

I've been here A WHILE. sneaking,creeping,hiding. Don't let levels ever fool you, I will put you in the ground.


The number on my gamertag is a 4 but it should now be a 6 =O

P.S- Be respectful and play nice!

I was playing on a 23 in doubles when I won 10+ games only to level up once while my teamate went from a 13 to a 30!

Exp doesn't determine how fast or slow you rank up. Your record in that playlist does because it reflects on your Mu and Sigma ratings in cope with the levels of people you play against.

i see. so i have to consistently keep playing matches and beat other players and get good K/D spreads? i am pretty good though (against my friends in getting kills, and not KS). i rank up quickly in doubles though, but im working on team slayer. im right now a 42 (was a 43), and now on a loosing streak. after these losses will it also take a long amount of time/games to rank back up?

K/D doesn't matter. And to the last question I don't really know, just depends. I have a bad record on my account so, it took literally like 10 wins in a row for my 47. I am a 48 right now though.

so basically i should keep playing until i rank up? but what im afraid of is that if i keep playing and loosing. i will rank down and catching back up will be hard. Teammates i get always bring me down, hardly any of them have a mic and communication is key

Just try playing with a really good partner. Don't do teams of 3 or 4. You need a good friend so he can help pick up some of the slack.

But thats the problem. none of my friends are at my skill and the last time i played with them they just sat around and camped. i had to do all the work. i left the game to keep my level.

I Retired Gears of War 2, Sold it to buy Halo 3. And I have not had this much fun playing Video Games in a long time :)
Now that Halo Reach is out. My life has never been better.
Thanks Bungie.

Oh, wow. then I should start playing ranked matches, because it i get up too high in EXP, then i guess it will take a longer time to level up.

not exactly, i started playing team swat with around 1k exp and i still got up to a 35. and also another reason why i rather play alone is because my friends just try to get boosters to help them. i play legit

A MAN WANDERING THE WORLD WITH A PURPOSE, HAS NO REASON TO BE WANDERING AT ALL.

Ill just re-state what a few people have already said.. Just keep playing games, and keep wining games.. That should do it :] Good luck with it all!
