MAK Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Come on Mak just two more! Btw, are you getting matched up against a lot of Generals? Yeah some generals and some brigadier and some brigadier grade 2 but the problem is i have nearly 970 odd EXP with the halo true systems its damn difficult to get your skill up with loads of EXP i have realised even if i come 60% 1st and 2nd & 3rd most of the times it takes around 10-15 games on an average to get your skill level up and sometimes you have bad games where you come 4-5-6 you have to do the whole 10-15 games coming on top 3 to get your skill up which is really difficult and frustrating...

Systematic Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Can anyone explain to me why I didn't get a perfection medal in this match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAK Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 the reason you did not get the perfection medal is because your team did not win the match inorder to get a perfection medal you need to win the slayer match with min 15 kills without dying ... Check this source: Perfection Medal Details. wicked game though buddy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAK Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 how long does it usually take a decent halo player to get from the least level to level 48 or 43 like u ppl ???coz i'll be starting to play from next month well it all depends on how good are you? but its much easier to level up if you have less exp as the halo true skill systems is very hard to level up with loads of exp the easiest way to level up according to me is ranked team doubles but you need a good partner for it preferbly with similar skills you have... all the best...

TRMNTR Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 how long does it usually take a decent halo player to get from the least level to level 48 or 43 like u ppl ???coz i'll be starting to play from next month it all depends on how you actually play... there are certain values associated with your skill... lets just say that if you can win matches continously then you'll reach a rank 50 in no time... and if you lose a lot of matches then it becomes very very hard! i'll be posting a link to all this confusion very soon... be sure to check again!

MAK Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 thats not how it works...there is a sigma value involved here... if you win matches, the sigma value goes up and so does your skill IF you win more matches... though after an increased sigma value, IF you lose matches then your skill go down! you are right karan i found somthing on another board regarding the true skill system. This is a mini-guide based on the original true-skill explanation of El Kafungus of Bungie.net. His original explanation may be accessed here: http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=14414600 Note that I do not take any credit for this as my own work, it is only a summary of El Kafungus's explanation. What is the trueskill system and how does it work? Well, the trueskill system is a skill rating system that is used for many games on XBox Live and more than likely PC. If you haven't already guessed, the reason I bring it up is because Halo 3 uses the trueskill system. The trueskill system works on two basic valus, your uncertainty value (sigma) and your actual skill (mu). I will refer to them as sigma and mu from now on. Your sigma is basically how the game accounts for luck; it is the numerical representation of what your skill could be. Play consistently for a low sigma, or play inconsistently for a high sigma. Your mu is the actual representation of your skill. Win games to raise it, lose games to lower it. The mathematical relation of mu and sigma is (mu) - k(sigma) where k is a constant assigned by the developers. This means that your skill is actually higher than the number you see, but the game does not give you the benefit of the doubt. These are the basics of the trueskill system, and so I do not deter people from reading by creating a wall of text, I will include the "What does this mean to me?" section in the next post. What does it mean to me? Why don't I level up after winning X games in a row? Mu increases after a win. Always. The increase is proportional to the winner's Sigma and the Mu difference between the winner and the loser. So, if your Sigma is high, you will proceed faster through the ranking system (in BOTH directions). If your Sigma is low, you will both gain and lose rank more slowly. So, I want a high Sigma value? While it sounds as though a high Sigma value is desirable, it CAN be a double edged sword. A high Sigma can mean you increase by one level for every win. It also means you decrease by one level for every loss. In addition, a high Sigma means that your skill ranking will be significantly lower than your actual skill owing to the conservative nature of the Ranking = mu - (K * Sigma) ranking equation. Also, Sigma value starts out VERY high. So, if this is your friend's first time in a particular ranked hopper, and he wins consistently, his rank will rise meteorically due to his high Sigma. Why do I win 10 games and not level up, then delevel when I lose 2? Help! There are several possible explanations for this. The easiest one, and the one that fits the Trueskill system EXACTLY as explained by Microsoft, is that losing against a team that is X (I believe 6 or more, but experimentation is needed to determine the true value) skill points below you can cause you to lose as much as 5 times the Mu value that winning against even level teams gains you. Of course, winning against a team that has X more skill levels than you can net you as much as 5 times the Mu gain. The reverse is true as well. Winning against a weak team can count as little as 1/5th of an even skill win. Second, and this is enlightened conjecture, your Sigma value was low at the beginning of your streak, and since your win streak is raising it, the conservative ranking system (Remember, Rank = Mu MINUS (K times Sigma)) is kicking in to reduce your apparent skill level. Your real Mu is higher, but your higher Sigma is having a negative impact. Some Myth Busting Trueskill DOES NOT take into evaluation performances inside the game. The ONLY statistics that Trueskill takes from a game are the Mu and Sigma values of all the players, and how you placed. This means that out of all of these statistics: Getting the MVP Having a High K/D ratio Getting the most medals Skill levels of those you killed / killed you Weapons you used Headshots Captures, detonations, stops, ousts, etc. NONE of them matter when calculating the Mu increase/decrease. Any link between any of these and the skill ratings are purely correlative and not causative. Summary (if nothing else, read this!) If you're worried that you're not getting your fair shake in the ranking system, look at the last 50 games that you've played in that hopper. (If you haven't played 50 games, play more. The system needs more data.) Take your win/loss average. If it's 65% or above, and you've been in that playlist for a while, you've probably increased in level 2 or more times over the last 50 games (or you will in the next 20 or so). Otherwise you are going to be hovering around the same level or dropping in rank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
