== Skill Guide == | There is no set process to gain skill, but that your skill is akin and relative to other players currently playing [[Halo 3]] in Matchmaking. You do not gain skill unless you become appreciably and significantly better. If you develop a greater [[headshot]] ability, your skill level should rise noticeably, unlike with [[EXP]], which only changes if you win a match. <ref>http://www.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=12901</ref> Though skill is earned much quicker by winning free for all games, than by playing team games. | ||

*10-20: Lone Wolves/Team Slayer - Lone Wolves, once again. It is quite easy to advance up until about skill 25, where you may be pitted against experts. Team Slayer is also good if you have a group of friends you can play with, though making sure you stay in contact with each other via headsets is the key. | *10-20: Lone Wolves/Team Slayer - Lone Wolves, once again.

This will make the game try to balance out your skills and find players in between. This will leave you play against players with lower skill then you. | ||

To easily go up in skill get friends with more then 10 skill of you but make sure you can fight the more skilled players. You should go up a skill every game or two depending on your kill\death spread and your points. | ||

Each player must have a headset, communication can win or lose a match. Or you can use the method in 20-30 except with Skill 20-30 players. This will match you against players with about Skill 30. (This is complete bullshit!) | ||
Note: If you plan on bringing lower skill players such as skill 20-30 and 40-50 make sure they have a lower kill death ratio and win ration(Both can be view on Bungie.net) Also be sure that they are able to fight the better players. I would suggest that they maintain a -3 to +3 Kill Death Spread to avoid them from leveling up too quickly requiring you to find another low ranked player. | |||

*One is that when you have played a lot of matches, the game will be able to work out what your "win:loss" or "kill:death" ratio is, and if you start to change the percentage, this will help you go up the ladder and ranking scheme, but if it stays the same, it can make this very difficult. | *One is that when you have played a lot of matches, the game will be able to work out what your "win:loss" or "kill:death" ratio is, and if you start to change the percentage, this will help you go up the ladder and ranking scheme, but if it stays the same, it can make this very difficult. | ||
*The ''hardest'' way to rank up is in Squad Battle as it is usually a 50/50 gamble when you enter the pregame lobby. | *The ''hardest'' way to rank up is in Squad Battle as it is usually a 50/50 gamble when you enter the pregame lobby. | ||

'''Skill | '''Skill level''' and experience are measured in the Matchmaking system. Players will be rewarded with experience Rating Points (RP) earned for winning a game in Halo 3 Matchmaking. Progress from recruit to officer is a reward for many wins and another way for games to be evenly matched. | ||
Experience Rating Points and their associated rank status ([[Sergeant (Halo 3)|Sergeant]], for example) will give other players an instant feel for how long you’ve been playing and how that compares to your relative skill level in a given [[playlist]]. A player with many RPs and a low Matchmaking skill level might be new to that specific matchmaking playlist. Knowing that is the key to knowing an enemy or teammate. | |||
