I've been playing halo since 11:30am and its now 2am that I got off for lunch.

The ranking system, simply put, works on 4 rules of expectancy.

Rule 1) If you're expected to win, and you win, you rank up slowly.

Rule 2) If you're expected to lose, and you win, you rank up faster (this is the principle of boosting).

Rule 3) If you're expected to lose and you lose, you rank down slowly (hence why a deranked account takes AAAAGES to derank)

Rule 4) If you're expected to win, and you lose, you rank down faster.

You're saying that there are tens of thousands of cheaters on Halo 3?

Lol. You are a 14 in Lone Wolves and you just got that level.

You are an 18 in Team Slayer and you lost your last game.

The ranking system doesn't give a rat's if you do really well on your team but the rest of your team sucks. If your team loses, you lose, and you'll likely drop a rank.

It should be:

Lvl 1-20 People who don't know how to hold a controller properly and lack basic hand-eye coordination and reaction time
Lvl 21-35 Players who blame others for their losses and think everyone who is better than them is a cheater
Lvl 36-44 People who think they are good but don't know what strafing is or how to time power weapons.
Lvl 45-49 A few good players and some who are really Colonels that got lucky one game.
Lvl 50 Half of them aren't legit because they played with booster accounts to get their 50, circle boosted, used network manipulation, got backpacked, or bought their account and the other half are good players and the ones that have legit 50s in MLG are gods among men.
