[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] matt1242 15 games straight ---> 3 ranks, at LOW (18) level in doubles not to mention a perfection without a rank up. Take into account those 15 games that we won in team doubles are more total than I have played in the rest of team doubles while still achieving the rank of 18 in less than 15 games. My teamate and me did around same (but I consistently had a much better ratio, usually only a FEW deaths per game and was usually mvp) and he advanced 23 levels...... hmmmm so he's at a 34 and I'm at a 21, that doesn't make sense at all. Another PROVEN testimonial that the ranking system IS BROKEN. I just don't know how else to convince the kids that swear by it..... but it's coming for you sooner or later, and you will curse it and realize that you were talking out of your ass, I promise you that much.[/quote] I checked the gamertag linked to your account...Is that the correct one? Also your friend is [url=http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Halo3/Default.aspx?player=Ix%20Rumz%20xI]Ix Rumz xI[/url]?Seems to me like you are a little mixed up with how many games you played. I looked through all 75 pages of games you have listed (that was pretty boring by the way, but I do what I can to get at the truth) and before the streak you had played 69 games. I'll say that again...You played 69 games of Double Team BEFORE the win streak. Your friend had played 6 games before the win streak...Once again...Your friend played only 6 games BEFORE the win streak! Seems to me this fits right into the system as we currently understand it. Your friend moved much faster because the system was far less certain of his skill level. He had also played far fewer games then you which would mean he is going to move faster then you. Correct me if any of my facts are wrong, but please look back at your games before you try to tell me otherwise. Most of the Team Doubles games you played occured on page 40 and back. That should help you speed up the search a little. [Edited on 11.23.2007 11:28 PM PST]
