Now i know everyone is probably going to tell me how late i am and how i suck but anyway...

I got Halo 3 a long time ago and to be honest i din't really play it much but during the build up to reach i got really into halo, i've now played reach loads and i'm playing halo 3 again too but for some reason my skill level will just not go up, i just wanted to know what is actually required to go up a skill level?

Thanks

well your not asking for help so let me educate you. The ranking system is based on sigma, that is an indication of how well you play based at what level you are currently at, and the level of players on the other team. Now for skill to go up you have to have a higher sigma than the team your beating. This basically means that whatever team you play is recognized as the better team, or the one that should win. When you beat that team the sigma you gain is significantly higher than a team the system expects you to beat. Now the reason people believe in rank lock is because they beat the teams that they are supposed to, as well as they have lost to teams they were supposed to beat. That is probably your case. The only real way to fix that problem is by being good enough to search at 10 levels higher than what you are. If you are a 30 then search with someone who is a 40 or higher, then the system will recognize that you SHOULD lose the game, if you win then the sigma gain will be very high and in about 2-3 wins at that level you will go up and to get to the next level will take significantly less.

If you are stuck at a 40 or higher the only real way to get a sizable increase to your sigma rating would be to search 3s or 4s 50 high and match teams that will in all likely hood destroy you, however if you manage to win that game then your sigma gain will be immense, and if you dont rank up then you will probably only need 1 win at whatever level you would normally be. Also dont worry if you do lose to that particular team of 3 or 4 because their sigma will be so low do to winnning that you will lose vitrually nothing from it.
