I think the Trueskill is just, overall, crap! I have never seen a ranking system that has so many flaws and that millions of people complain about, including me. My friend, who is not as good as me, made a new account and played TS with me and a friend. Every game he played, I have played. Guess what level he is? He went from 1 to 47, and he is only a 40 on his other account. I went from a 47 to a 48 in the same games. Obviously, the Trueskill had him at a 40, yet now it says he is a 46, about to be a 50 soon! P.S: I find it complete bullcrap that if you play with friends all the time your ranking slows down! what the "f" Bungie! I thought Halo was a social game meant to be played with your friends. Obviously, Bungie decided that in a social game like Halo 3 your friends should just holdd you back. [Edited on 06.19.2008 9:05 AM PDT]
