Now, I'm confused, I really am. I haven't visited the forums in a while so I need to ask a few questions.

1) Are derankers the people who don't do anything the entire match? Or are they the people who quit out before a match starts?

2) Who's the deranker? When I look at people's service record who is the Deranker. The person who is a level 30 an no xp in Lone Wolves? Or the person who is a level 25 but has 200 to 1200 xp in Lone Wolves?

3 (a different topic) I saw a person last night when I played team fiesta, who got the ball. Then everybody got a really bad connection, he won after, about a minute holding the ball. Was this a really well planned lag switch?

1. Derankers are people who go into a match, and either don't move, shoot their team mates to take their shields off and let the enemy 1 shot them, and just generally do everything they can to make their team lose. They do this because it tricks thr ranking system into thinking they are rubbish at the game, then when they actually play well and win, they rank up really quickly.

2. Probably the person who has no EXP and higher level. Although de-ranking is more common in team based games. Sometimes, you cant tell. If they have a high skill, and very little exp, they either quit out a lot of games to get negative exp, or deranked so that they level up alot faster than normal.

3. Halo is fast becoming a hackers-paradise due to lack of moderation from MM officials. Due to Reach's release, Bungie's gaze if fixed on that, so hackers and cheaters roam free in MM, so it might have been a lag switch, im not sure. Probably if the person won extremely quickly, but without video evidence, i can't tell.

This is all wrong. If you derank you don't go up faster, the people you play with do.

A deranker is someone who loses in team games as much as they can (400 more losses then wins for a good one), for the intent of boosting new accounts later. New account + account with horrible record = 20 game 50.
