[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] InfnIte Sorrow I have to assume that this only applies to ranked playlists. It doesn't seem like Social should be included in these calculations, especially for the fact that you're matched up with a variety of different levels in Social gametypes. Now, if that is how it really is, I should be able to play 400 Social games and it wouldn't affect the length that it takes me to level up. But, if I play 400 Team Slayer games, it absolutely will affect how quickly I level up( but only in that playlist, not having any influence on the other Ranked gametypes).I hope I have this right, because I thought about this for a while. After that, I was just left wondering if the more EXP I have, will it take longer to go up in levels in general. I'm not worried about games played because I think I understand that part. So far, it doesn't seem like it. When I only had 350 EXP, I went from 30 to 31 after winning 3 out of 4 games. Just last night I had 440 EXP( I played alot of Team Melee Double EXP) and I went from 31 to 33 after winning 5 out of 6 games. What it looks like to me is that all that really matters is to stay around a 60-65% winning percentage in the playlist. MVP doesn't matter, K/D doesn't matter.... just win. I hope this helps anybody still trying to figure this out. If somebody thinks that something I wrote may be wrong, please feel free to share your opinion.[/quote] You have a hidden rank in social playlists that is calculated the exact same way. Obviously the matchmaking is a little different because people go into social with much more mixed parties and guests. I will reitterate though, EXP has nothing to do with rank.
