Subject: Returned to Halo 3 now having rank errors. please help.

I stopped playing halo 3 a month after release due to moving and other issues.. so just purchased the 250g new 360 downloaded halo 3,to freshen up before reach, before i quit i had a skill of 24 and a rank of captain. when i came back i had the same skill rank but my captain symbol was missing, I know i earned it in team slayer now ive had to start from the start again but it says in service history i am a captain can anyone explain this to me? ive had no bans or anything any help would be appreciated.

There are two ranks. You have a global rank and a playlist rank. Your global rank, if you check your service record, is still captain.

However you now also have a playlist rank based just off Exp. There is a separate rank for every playlist. The more games you win in that playlist, the more playlist exp. you get and the higher your playlist rating. Not too hard. Just wins games in Team Slayer to get a high Team Slayer playlist rating. Win lots of games in Rumble Pit to have a high Rumble Pit rating. All the playlists (save Action Sack really) have them.

You earned your captain playing team slayer before TU2. Now, each playlist tracks experience separately (meaning it counts EXP in each playlist, in addition to overall. In Team Slayer, you have 21 EXP, which is not captain, though overall your 127 EXP makes you a captain.
