I have been playing Reach for a while and decided to actually get ranked in the arena for once. I have been playing a couple of games over the past 3-4 weeks and I've yesterday been placed in a division:

Bronze.

Well okay, at least it's not iron. Turns out I'm a 95% bronze, which sounds pretty bad. So my question is: how do I prevent dropping into iron and possibly, how do I get silver? My rating is about 1500 every game and my k/d ratio is about 1.5 or something like that. Should I get more assists or something? The explanation in game or on b.net is pretty useless. What should I do? Any feedback is appreciated!

EDIT: Thanks a lot for the feedback!! I am now a 30% silver and I'm aiming to be in the gold division when Bungie.net no longer tracks Halo stats :)

Herroh. U have reached teh BOOGIE LAND

Arena is 100% Based on Winning. Win Games. Go in with a full party. Get good teammates.

Since there is so little Arena players now, it's pretty hard to get Onyx with losing 3+ games. What's sad is that Halo 3's Ranked Playlist has more players

If you were to play Season 8, you would probably get 45% silver.

There's always room for you, If you want to be my friend.

Keep playing games. The more games you play the more accurate your division will be.

Yeah. You pretty much have to win every game. Losing three nowadays just puts you into Low Gold or even Low silver. You pretty much just have to win every single game, maybe losing one, to even get placed into low onyx.

The rating system is so broke, though.

It all depends on who you win/lose against. In season 8 I lost 35+ games and still got 15% (onyx).

Not even. Last season my friend barely won half his games with a 52% w/l with a very small amount of games played and get low Onyx. It all depends on who you win against.
