Subject: anyone been robbed of XP or rank? I HAVE TODAY!!!!

Have faith mate, She'll be apples :)

Don't know if it's got to do with server issues or maybe a bug in the ranking system or whatever... I love Halo... over COD and Battlefield I don't care, but today has given me a reason to switch for good.
All I want to do is get to rank "Brigader" on Reach before I buy Halo CE Anniversary and eventually Halo 4. (just so I can purchase the Mark VI helmet) :P

I was upto rank Colonel Grade2 and did some daily challenges today and ranked up... to Colonel Grade2?!?! It showed the initial "PROMOTED" showing Grade 3, but the next game I played is says I'm back to the beginning of Grade 2 >:(

I'm not the best FPS player for sure, and I don't spend 6hrs a day 7 days a week playing it, but I've worked so hard to get this close only to be put back a grade...and I know I'm not just reading it wrong...please explain... What gives Bungie?? seriously.

I think you might be mistaken. First you go through the Rank of Colonel, then Colonel Grade 1, then Colonel Grade 2.

Yes, I realize you think you were set back a rank, but I don't believe so.

Fear the yellow snow

It may have been a server issue....if it doesnt resolve itself within a few hours then you will just have to play some more.
Wish I could be of more help but thats the way the cookie crumbles sometimes.

and to make matters worse, there's no Australian Xbox or bungie contact number to call... only emails for the website or xbox in general.

Maybe Call of Duty is the better game after all... all these years defending Halo... sad really :( Bungie have officially got a "Kill joy" medal from me now. If only I could boot the person behind this for "Betrail" reasons... I could probably keep this rant going for ages, but instead I'm taking my copy of Halo, Halo2, Halo 3, Halo3:ODST and Halo Reach and putting them in a box far away from my xbox because right now, none of them are worthy of playing atm... you've made one very sad spartan.

It's fun.

I could care less about XP or rank, they're both useless.

I've already called Xbox phone support and they say it must be the bungie server.

I know it goes colonel, grade 1, 2, 3 and then the next rank. I've been counting down the ranks to Brigader...as I was promoeted to grade 3 I was saying to myself.. "yes 1 rank to go".

If any Bungie.net users are reading this, then check and compare my Reach ranking status from yesterday and today.. you can't go backwards...if I was half was through Grade 2, how can I now be at the start of it???

I know this won't be resolved in an hour or so... but that's exactly why I'm not playing it until I hear back from the email I sent explaining exactly what happened. (proof with yesterday's and today's rankings)

Rank isn't the important thing... it's the principle, it's something to show for the effort you have put in (for those who don't cheat/mod) you would'nt want to spend a year on a painting only for someone to come up to it and tear a corner off to write down a phone number would you? :S

Your presence here is quite unneeded. Begone you!!!

Not Bungie's issue. Perhaps you have been mistaken?

  • 11.08.2011 9:31 PM PDT

Have faith mate, She'll be apples :)

I wish I was mistaken :(

Just feel robbed that's all... I mean, when you "prestige" in COD all perks,gun etc get reset, but you know that's coming as the multiple warning boxes you get before it let's you prestige.

But I don't get too much time to play my xbox these days and it would take me prolly a week to get back to were I was.
(koz I'm nowhere near as good as most people I play with/against)

If it's not Bungie's issue, and it's not Xbox Live's issue... then who's attention should I bring this to? .. the UNSC lol

I'm a big fan of halo and I've even been building my own suit which is about 70% done, the only time I play COD is when my family and friends want me to join in on a party game...

I miss the H3 ranking system where this kid would get a first lieutenant and this would never happen.

BUT OH WELL EVERYONE WINS

Have faith mate, She'll be apples :)

Why is that ankerd? you are at Inheritor... that's awesome work :) [assuming you don't cheat/mod], why would you possibly want to be de ranked?

All I wanted to do was purchase to Mark VI helmet which is unlocked at Brigader... (because when I start my reach armour build I'll already have the helmet) ;)
but to get this close and be put back a rank... It just makes me want to play it 24/7 just so I can get it over and done with... I don't want any Halo games to fall into my pile of shame.

But instead I'm hoping there is a way to fix this so I don't have to reach Grade 3 for a 2nd time...like I want to play it right now, but how will I know I won't get the "groundhog day" effect :P~

This has never happened.

You're just stupid and thought Colonel G1 = Colonel G2 So you think you're going through Colonel G2 again which you didn't.

Ok ... I'm stupid, I can't read, nor can I spell... therefore I'm also dislexic and think anytime I see Grade 1, I'm ACTUALLY reading Grade 2.... look if I took a screenshot knowing this would happen I would have.

I play Halo for fun, my GOAL was to purchase the Mark VI helmet... I don't play for credits, I DO however tolerate people's online etiquette of name calling and constant team killings with a smile. I just posted this to see if there was anyone who could help me with this as I already called Xbox support...

although I should be greatful for being called stupid compared to alot of comments I've read in other posts :/

but since there doesn't seem to be anyone with any ideas to how this has come about or how to fix it. It's time to HTFU and rank up again.

Because this game is boring(i don't play for credits) but now that i have reached the highest rank i'm pretty bored and there's not much to look forward to by playing more games...

Check out my YouTube Channel

The only reason your rank would have gone down is if you were playing offline for an extended period of time. You do make more credits while offline but I want to say you only get to keep half of them when you log back onto XBL.

The best thing you could do moving forward is keep your box logged onto XBL when you play halo. That is if you actually care about rank.

TBH rank means nothing and it's just a silly piece of armor. Play for fun and forget worrying about the rest.
