i mean some account zip up in ranke while others such as all of mine level up so slow. here is my newest http://www.bungie.net/stats/playerstatshalo3.aspx?player=the% 20yorkie009

look at all the team slayer wins in arrow. it took 13 games in arrow to go up one level. only to lose the 14th and go back down. i am not complaining just wanting to know why some accounts go up fast while others slow. mo

most people are just going to say keep winning (well no duh) im just asking what your thoughts are.

Well, according to this, it all depends on who you play with/against and your W/L record(in that playlist)

Some might get lucky and play against/with people who could allow them to level up faster if they win.

Also, every game you play counts, even the very first ones you play in a playlist. So even if you rank up when you lose in the first 10 levels, that will come back to bite you in the later levels.

You are playing with a lvl 19 therefore your rank up slower. They higher someone's rank is to you on your team will cause you to rank up faster. Example: Play with someone with a 50 in doubles and you will rank up faster.

New accounts have a low Sigma, the uncertainty factor used in calculating HighSkill. The higher your Sigma, the faster you rank up or down. The more streaky you play, the higher your Sigma gets, the more consistently, the lower it gets.

No, you want people who are close to your highskill, Sigma, and Mu levels, this creates a good match quality which will increase the Sigma and Mu gained from winning the match, making you more likely to rank up.

You want to play against people with REALLY High Sigma, and you want to play with people who have REALLY low Sigma. This makes the system think that you carried the low Sigma kid and somehow destroyed the high Sigma kid.

People who derank are doing so to get low Sigma levels to make the system think they are bad.

i know about the equations that they used in order to show if people should level up. but i mean its with ALL of my accounts that ill have a long win streak and i just wont go up then ill lose the next one and go down. ill even come on this site and look and they will out weigh the loses for a few pages.

but for new accounts its really dumb. i will got like 25-4 and my team will barley win cause my teammates are so bad. shouldnt this have been taken into affect earlier on with halo 3?

I believe the biggest reason in this is that the guys who all the reaccounters were beating on and rocketing up the ranks by beating are no longer who you all are playing against. Those people have all moved on to different games or different playlists because of being unfairly matched against dissimilar ability despite what the rank number indicated for that playlist.

Now all the reaccounters have to play against is others like themselves, as it should have been, but never was before.

no help from me because you were probably banned for a reason and this is not the topic of conversation
