==Notes==
* New ranking system added to all [[Matchmaking]] playlists. After the update, the game tracks experience gained in a playlist and uses it to give a playlist-specific [[Rank (Halo 3 Multiplayer)|Rank]] to the player. This rank is affected by experience only. Players will keep their [[Rank (Halo 3 Multiplayer)|old rank]] which can be viewed in their Service Record. The system used to calculate this rank is not altered. Ranked playlists will still use Trueskill to match players.<ref>http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=14994</ref>
