Subject: Question.

I wish to stand on the top of a hill and watch the stars as the fire rains from the sky. Burned and charred metal zooming past my line of sight, explosions rocking the night. I want to gaze in awe at the glory of war and take my first step into the battlefield that is life.

Alright, me and my friends have been playing halo for awhile, we're each a 40 in lone wolves.

I've never had a friend have their skill go down to 39 and lose their rank, but none of them have tried and we're a tad worried about losing our ranks if we go in and fail a couple matches.

never heard of this happening so yeah, came to the forums to ask.

TL:DR(?): If my friend and I go from 40 to 39 will we lose our overall rank?

I'm watching you.

No. Your global rank is determined by your highest skill achieved. If you drop done in a playlist's rank it doesn't mess with your highest skill.

Highest Skill is just that, the Highest skill that you achieved. Once you achieve a highest skill of something, it won't go down, but your actual skill in a playlist can.
