Subject: The ranking system sucks in this game.

I don't get why, but it is really hard to rank up. Like I've been stuck around the 15-20 level. If it so hard now... how hard does it become 30-50???

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

~Long Live Halo 2
Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

It's easy. Try winning more and loosing less.

  • 12.12.2010 11:00 AM PDT

Yeah and it is still taking forever!

  • 12.12.2010 11:06 AM PDT

1- how can you be stuck at that level?
2- what playlist are you ranking up on and how much exp do you have in it?

1- I don't know, it takes ages to rank up.
2- Team Slayer with like 39 exp or something like that.

you just need to win more. its not like CoD

  • 12.12.2010 11:19 AM PDT

I think losing might actually help me rank up in all honesty.

  • 12.12.2010 11:22 AM PDT

Honestly if you just start a new account, and you are good enough, you can get a 50 between 30-100 games depending on what playlist you play and how many people you play with. If you search alone in team slayer and win almost everygame you can get your 50 in like 40 games or less... But if you play team slayer with 3 other friends it will take you 200 or more games to get a 50 even if you win every single one. If you really want to rank up fast, play with some of your friends that have really bad records( many lossses and low k'd ratio) for this will make you rank up significantly faster.

The amount of time it took me to get my 50's:

Swat: 33 games
Doubles: 40 games
Squad Battle: 100 games
Team Slayer: 80 games
Lone Wolves: 150 games
MLG: 80 games
Team Snipers: 70 games
Mythic Brawl: 230 games
Ranked Living Dead: 156 games
Griffball: 90 games
Legendary Brawl: 215 games
Ranked Team Control: 60 games
Team Throwback: 45 games
V-day Mas: 90 games
Head to Head: 100 games


I never had all these 50's on a single account, but over my years of playing, this is how long it took me to get my 50s


I'd be so much more inclined to believe you if Dominator wasn't the only RLD 50.

  • 12.12.2010 12:57 PM PDT

Also, you didn't get a 50 in Head To Head.

That could just be how high your skill goes.
Winning games isn't the only way you receive Skill.
I was stuck at Twenty-Five for the LONGEST time, But eventually I got better and made my way up to Forty. Just play, Get better at the game (Not an insult, Just a tip) and you'll eventually get there.:)

Hi.

The only better ranking system than this game's is Halo 2's ranking system.

i dont think it will

Don't even get me started.

The ranking system is too easy as it is. There would be no sense of accomplishment if it took any less time and skill to reach the highest possible skill level in the game. As it is, players with a highest skill of 50 were meant to be a very small percentage (1-5%) of total players. This failed miserably; somewhere around 20% of players are 50s. Even though half of the 50's out there aren't legit, around 10% are still legit 50s, which is a much larger number than intended.

I play games for gameplay, not silly gimmicks

H3 MM warrior

Reach S7, 8 and 9 arena warrior.

H4 MM legend

its based in sigma, if you win far more than you lose low level then it will take longer to rank up, this may sound backwards but its because your playing terrible people. You need to find a team whos overall sigma is lower than yours, the game will expect you to lose to that team and if you win grant you a large sigma bonus which will help you rank up. The reason your currently stuck is because you win the games that the system expects you to, but you also lose some of the games the system expects you to win

Halo is dead. Linked tag is permanently banned from XBL

Is it hard to win?

you cannot compare Halo 3 to Reach, Reach is not a game, its a disc in a plastic green case called pure fail.

Got it? good.

At least the ranking system in halo 3 is 10x better than Reach's.

  • 12.12.2010 6:45 PM PDT

Breaking barriers.
