Subject: Questions about highest skill

Will the highest skills be affected by the ranking of
that playlist or the ranking of its own

  • 08.24.2010 6:15 AM PDT

Heres how it goes:

loose to someone higher ranked then you, loose exp

loose to someone lower ranked then you loose rank

win to someone higher ranked then you win rank

win to someone lower ranked then you win exp

Its gets more complicated then this by alot

You only lose exp for quitting.

Fail.

No, playing against easy opposition all the time will make you a worse player.

If however you are talking about deranking, you need someone else to do it and you play with them to make it rank you up faster.

Not that I am condoning this in any way :)

Well as you get higher and higher in global ranking you are expected to do more and the ranking system gets harder and harder to get through. The matches also get harder as you might be a commander being matched with a general!!! To get around easier try to get used to all the maps. Develope tacktics and stradegy to win the game. Find your best wepans in the game and map. Find good areas to stay by or fight by. Like for example on the pit I grab grenades (sense I'm really good with them) and head for the sword. If I get it I just camp there. If not I stick the guy with my grenades and grab it and off I go. But you must be on winning streaks and they get bigger and bigger before you rank up. I'm at 19 in team slayer and trying to get a five game winning streak. As you go up the streaks get bigger before you can even rank up one.

More to come.

i thought the matchmarking is made by your skills not
ranking?
the ranking of my team sniper is Recruit
but skill level 10
if is made by skills,when i beat people with same skill
but higher ranking than me ,will the skill level
increase easier ?

Your "Rank" is your "Skill," which would be the number in the specific playlist, (not overall.) If you watch the matchmaking screen, you can see it search for increasing intervals around your skill in the playlist. It's got nothing to do with Recruit, Captain, etc.

To answer your earlier question- all playlists are rank independent, meaning that you can be a 50 in Team Slayer, and a 13 in LW, and while playing LW the system does not factor in your 50 at all.

Highest skill is just a record of what it says- highest skill.

Each playlist has specific true-skills.

Including the social playlists, although you have an 'invisible' trueskill, supposedly, that is supposed to match you with opponents of similar skill.

I think thats a complete fallacy though.

Uh, unless you mean Bungie-perpetuated fallacy (and I don't think anyone can say better than them how Halo 3 works,) then you would be incorrect there, sir.

Yep, I meant a Bungie perpetuated fallacy. Like, you know, "the banhammer is at work" and other claims along those lines that are clearly exaggerated for the purpose of appeasing the population.
