btw i reached onyx :D


Case in point.

Onyx is way too broad, nearly anyone can get to it. Hopefully they actually changed it so only the top <2% are in, instead of the 5%.

Onyx was too easy to reach that's why there were so many threads about it in the feedback forum, and that means that bungie will change it (like u said).


I haven't heard anything about them changing it, but I'd hope that they did.

If anyone has a link, that'd be great news.

They said they were tweaking it but can't remember which weekly update i was, it think a it was a month ago...

1. Game developers don't like real world trading.

2. Bungie will be there if there's any cheating.

3. I don't think Bungie thinks the same after banning people from boosting.

4. I still like the Reach system more.

5. If Reach is retarted that's your opinion :D


1) Cool, as long as people are desperate, they will still buy accounts.

2) Then why are you complaining about cheating in H3? The banhammer system fails, and Bungie doesn't ban cheaters. I searched slayer tonight in 4s, and got cheated on 3 separate occasions. Bungie doesn't ban cheaters.

3) Nobody has ever been banned for boosting (searching with a player who deranks).

4) Cool story

5) Cool story

1. Buying accounts in Reach would be pointless, but it will still happen since people are lazy and don't want to play a lot of games to get a high rank.

2. and 3. Imo Bungie has stepped up on banning people which is seen in quit bans and mute bans from just the beta.

4. Same

5. Nick learn how to spell retarded before you call people retards.

I don't see how people are getting these bogus exagerations. I win 6 games= rank up. I lose 1 game= nothing happens.

No, weird stuff does happen. If you win 6 games against opponents that the system expected you to beat, odds are that you wont rank up. But then if you lose one game that the system expected you to win, then you could possibly rank down if your sigma (uncertainty value) is high enough. Remember if youre expected to win then it can sometimes only count 1/5 when you do win, but 5 times as much when you lose.

My point is that the math behind the trueskill system can cause some weird things to happen to your rank.

lose one game that the system expected you to win,


Then you're bad and should level down. Job done.

So OP says ranking system is bad because he can't get a 50 am I right?

Clearly because the desktop uses a 3 prong plug and a laptop uses a 2 prong plug, the microwave will fill your car with tostitos better

You're just figuring this out now? It's been known for a LONG time that Halo 3 has a poor ranking system.

While you were reading this, your flag was stolen.

I suggest you look at MW2. No matter whether you win or lose, you get EXP, and it NEVER GOES DOWN. At least in H3, you get demoted after a few bad losses and won't get promoted until you show that you really deserve that rank.
However, in MW2 the ranking system is based more on individual skill rather than if your team wins or loses. It's always annoying when you play really well in Halo 3, but the rest of your team sucks and you lose the game, thus not gaining you experience/skill towards ranking up. Both systems have their flaws, but there is no perfect system....

Well, yeah. But if you do awesome (ex: become MVP) even when your team is terrible, you don't lose EXP. I know the H3 ranking system is frustrating. Heck, I should be at a 30 in TS right now except I'm a 29 and can neer actually get there.
