[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] st3ven9640 It depends on who you play, and who you beat. If you're a 50, beating non 50's means pretty much nothing, and you can basically discard those wins. The only thing that helps secure your 50 is wins against other 50's. I had an account that I got a dubs 50 on, and probably won like 20 straight against all 50s in the playlist. I signed in another account, and tried to derank it just to see how long it would take. Ended up taking over 120 straight losses, since the account on my team was a lower level, and they didn't really count for much.[/quote] 120 losses? Wow......It's a pity that the system gets abused so much by people who derank just to sell accounts and such, but it's still one of the better ranking systems for a shooter in general.
