I've recently returned to Halo 3 after playing reach for a bit, with the intent of finishing up some things I had started before my 30-day trial ran out. (have real live subscription now). The main things I was looking for were to get a 50 and finish the last of the achievements you originally needed for katana armor. So far I'm at 39 in lone wolves, and just have the doublekill Spartan laser achievement left, and I have some questions for anyone willing to help me out:
1) Is "highest skill" the highest skill you've ver achieved or your highest skill currently? (basically, if I get a 50 in lone wolves then make a fool of myself trying to get the Spartan Laser achievement, will I still have "highest skill 50"?
2)Does the trueskill system take into account positioning or just scores? (For example, if the scores are 25-24-24-23-10-5, with me the 23, does it give me a better rating than if it was 25-24-24-15-10-5, with me the 15?)
3) If it operates on positions, what is the cutoff point between losing rank and gaining rank? I always thought it was top half gain rank, but one game (note this was after several top-half finishes without gaining a skill point) my skill level went up after a 4th place finish.
4) What is the best game mode to get the Spartan laser achievement on? If I hit a fusion coil or an explosive with the laser and the explosion gets me a double kill, do I get the achievement?
That is all for now. Thanks for any help. I will post more questions here as they come up. A link to an in-depth explanation of the ranking system as it pertains to Lone Wolves would be helpful, or if you could just repost it here that would be even better.
