Boltshot = mini shotgun

My skill level in Halo 3 has been stuck at 31(I'm a Major Grade 2) since September, and no matter how many games I win in the ranked part of MM, it doesn't go up. For example, I just played a game of Team Slayer on High Ground, and my team won. I had the most kills in the game(24), and only 5 deaths. I even beat a General Grade 2 in terms of points! Yet my friend, who had 12 kills and 14 deaths, got 2 skill points! Does anyone know why this is happening to me?

LW 50
TS 50
TD 50

In-game stats (kills, assists, deaths, medals etc.) have nothing to do with ranking up.

Since organized communities are usually more enjoyable, you should take your time to read the forum rules to save yourself some trouble and help keep the forums clean :-)

Just keep winning. It's a pain in the ass, but that's what it takes. I believe it took me 19 games to go from a 49 to a 50 in Lone Wolves, and that was a combination of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd which took a long while.

So basically, all you need is patience. Keep winnin', and the rewards will come.

1. Your 31 is not in Team Slayer. If you want to get that rank up, you have to play in the playlist you have it in.

2. You have 10 games of Team Slayer on your 1st page game history, of which you have won 4 and lost 6. That is the problem; if you want to rank up you have to win consistently. You can't lose 2 then win 1 and expect to rank up. Winning 1 and losing 1 also won't help, because the system needs to realise that you are above the level you are playing at. Going on even win/loss streaks will just tell it that you are at the level you belong.

3. The ranks of your opponents only matter if they are a higher rank in that playlist. The general was not a 50 in Team Slayer so whatever his 50 was in is irrelevant. Anyway, he was probably a deranker/booster so if you won it would be less likely to rank up.
