Subject: How do you gain EXP?

I cannot gain experience for some reason. I've played at least 10 Ranked and Social games and 28 custom games. But I can't get EXP. I only got 6 Skills but what about the EXP? I got 0 EXP. I saw a newbie have only 10 ranked games and got 5 EXP. How????

Customs don't give you EXP. Also, you have -1 EXP at the moment because you've quit a few games. Win twice more without quitting and it will start to go up.

Everyone is entitled to their own wrong opinion.


I'm part of the Bungie.net Minecraft group/server called SeptaCrafters
We're a Bungie.net group that goes to our very own Bungie server. Most players are from the Halo community either off Bungie itself or through word to Halo friends.

If you are in a team game and your team wins you get xp.
If you are in a FFA game divide the number of original players by 2 and if you are in that spot of high you get xp.
Like rumble pit there are 8 players so the top 4 get xp.

If you quit out of and play-list you lose 1 xp, if you get booted you lose xp.You can get negative xp then gain it back and thats probable why you don't have xp

here i you look tot he left you'll see you have gained a total of 9 xp, but quit out of 9 games. So you have negative 1 xp. get 2 more xp and it will start showing up

"top half FFA - 1 exp"

Something has changed. I was in the top half repeatedly and got no exp. Then I rage quit a few games and my exp didn't drop. Then when I actually get 1st place my exp drops by 2.

Now I always try get the first half, and when I do I get XP. But unfortunately I leavedue to beng invited and I lose 2. I wish I could ignore them. I won 2, lot 2, gained 6 an hour later (Turned it off, then played a quick game for an an hour) Gained 3 the next day (Had a bad day) went to a invite just at the beginning of the game and lost 2 Xp. :/

The most easiest games I can do is Crazy King and Slayer.
