I don't know if any of you ran threes from level 1, but it takes far more games to level up than if you search alone or in 2s. I don't understand why searching with a full party penalizes you ranking up especially when you are also going up against a full party in Halo 3 (unlike lolReach). It should be harder to rank up searching in 2s or alone because of the randomness of teams. Teams of three should be rewarded for good play. It would help people have incentive to have teams and play together from all levels. Hell bring back clan matches and clans. If they used the same leveling as Halo 3, but slowed it down across the board (get rid of level skipping) and added incentive to searching in teams it would help make the game more competitive. It's unfair that a guy and a booster searching with randoms can rank up to 50 in less than 30 games (i'm sure most of us have done this a couple times on new accounts) and it takes an organized team of 4 over 100 games with a very similar win %. That was my biggest problem with the Halo 3 ranking system. [Edited on 10.27.2012 2:37 AM PDT]
