People on Waypoint are reporting that they have already reached level 40, with only 20 games played. I guess that's why 343i announced that they'll be resetting the CSR regularly.
I'm guessing that the system doesn't punish you as much as it used to in Halo 3 and 2, I'll add this note to the ongoing Halo 4 boycott. Though, since I'm boycotting, I couldn't form my own opinion.
EDIT: A level 40 on waypoint suggested that the fast leveling could be related to playing with lower level players. Probably because Halo 4's system isn't as strict in finding equally skilled matches as Halo 2/3 was, IMO.
What's your opinion about the CSR's settings?

CSR seems to be working alright for me. I played a few games of BTB slayer last night with my regular group. After 4 games I was an 11. The two guys in my group who are better than me were 19 and 23 after the same number of games. My brother one friend of mine is a 5, and my other friend was a 1. I don't know how accurate their CSR is compared to everyone else playing the game... But I do know that of everyone compared to just each other, only my brother seemed over-weighted (that, or my other friend who has the same CSR is underrated..) The point being, going into this I already had an idea of the skill level of all the people I play with, CSR verified that feeling. The system seems to be working just fine, despite your trepidation.
