i have been playing halo reach for about 5 months and decided to get halo 3. i played the campaign and went into multiplayer but i could not understand the ranking system i would be a level 7 go to a diffrent playlist and then i have no rank again. are the ranks specificaly for playlists of something?
So in Halo 3 the ranking system has a EXP system rather than a Credit system. The better you and your team plays than you gain EXP. The more EXP you earn the closer you are to leveling up. It sounds very simple but it is very difficult to level up! Since your team plays apart in your leveling up, than you better hope for good teammates! Also if you quit matches you start to lose EXP.
It was a beaut of a ranking system, until you started losing haha.
It was so competitive. Good luck getting your 50(s)
You have a Ranked and Social playlists. Part of your rank depends on your highest skill achieved in the Ranked playlists. You gain exp for every game you win. One thing that will impede you from ranking up is your highest skill, keep that in mind.
