Subject: Question to 50s

I've been a 47 in slayer for quite a while, so I'm "rank locked" to some extent.. but I've just won 21 games on my 47 without ranking up once!! Has anyone else been in this position before and how many games did it take you to finally go up? :\ Does ranking up occur more easily after the first level up?

It doesn't take a 50 to answer this question. You've played a lot of games, and while you're not "rank locked" (because there is no such thing) your Sigma is very low, meaning that the system is pretty certain that you're a 47. You've got to consistently beat 48s, 49s, and 50s, and not lose against 47 and lower, and eventually you will go up.

If you don't do that, then you're just not a 50, and that's all there is to it.

I know how the ranking system works.. I'm asking people how many games it took them to begin ranking up after a deadlock like this.

I've been steaking 50s all day, I'm pretty sure I'll have no trouble getting my own.. it just looks like it's going to take a long time! Might not have time before Reach at this rate :-(

dude, i just lookat at your game history, and you want to know your answer?

you keep playing with that "fast" guy who is only a 33 in team slayer, your a 47, so you match up against lv 40-42's on average

if you want to rank up, you need to beat people at your level and higher, so 47, 48, 49, and 50.

dont beat lv 40's in team slayer while your a 47 and expect to rank up every few games.

i would know i went into TS solo for my 50 and i would rank up evedry 3 or 4 games cause i would constantly face 49's, and 50's.

It varies for everyone- it could be a LOT of games, depending on how sure the system is that you're a 47. You could make it less sure by losing against lower ranks, but I DO NOT recommend that as you may not be able to get your rank back up.

I'm still playing against people my own level... if you had to beat people higher than you to rank up nobody would leave level 1, think about it..

I've been beating loads of level 47s!

On this account it took 21 games to get from 47 to 50 in Team Slayer.

And I see that you played with lower levels too, so you would've been playing level 49s or less.. so it should work!

Maybe just need to keep grinding then :\

Thanks but that doesn't answer my question.

Okay, if you study up on derankers, it means that you've just played too much on that playlist, and that you need to be pwning some 50's like the previous posts said. Just play in some other playlists, and beat higher ranked guys when u come back.

I honestly think it shouldn't matter to much now considering Reach is coming out in 2 days...

Team Doubles- 45|
MLG- 36|

No you just call your teammate bad when yet he is redbar the whole game. As if he can magically pull his connection to greenbar.

Do you still not even know what a router is?

You seem to think nothing matters.

You're rank locked, it's very hard to go up. You might want to try getting a 50 in another playlist, or just have fun and not care about your rank since Reach comes out in a a little over a day. :)

Yeh, I'm bad. Your opinions don't bother me.

LOL
I don't get host

Search in 2's with someone the SAME level or HIGHER if you want to rank up.
It is extremely easy, and you should rank up every 5 games or so as you will more likely match people your level or higher.

Even though you were beating the 1 47, there are multiple lower levels in that game that would make it much slower to level up.

In my experience getting past the rank your stuck at leveling up becomes easier.

I played you in slayer on my other account earlier today.
You were in with a team of three. Usually you have to go in by yourself of run twos in slayer to rank up fast.
Try playing with FastTurn, he seemed pretty good.

We played a few 49s and 50s. But for the most part they where bad. I also didnt lose like 25ish straight games either.

Condoms.

At least I'm going into battle protected. Haha


Yea, the last thing you want is are some elites strapped your your back while a grunt massages your nuts unprotected.

for some reason 47 has always been an annoying level to get past. just keep winning and you will be fine.

Send A Friend Request to Schloxictonkey if you need a good teammate and you are good

I was a 47 for months before I got my 48. I just didn't play ranked because I was too scared to lose. After a while I felt confident enough to go back into ranked and I won like 13 out of the next 15 games in swat and got my very surprising 50. I had heard horror stories from my friends about winning 15-20 games in a row to go up one rank. I guess I was just lucky.

Believe.

I've won 23 games with my 47 too, believe it or not i haven't ranked up -_-
