Description

Lone Wolves, is a Ranked, free-for-all playlist in Halo 3. It's a considerable counterpart of Rumble Pit, which is non-ranked free-for-all. Lone Wolves matches contains of eight players, and there are no teams.

Players typically advance in level by consistently placing in the top four, and drop in level by placing in the bottom four. However, several other factors also affect this, including comparison of the player's level compared to the others in the game (although usually the players are about the same level), what specific place the player came in (1st place will level a player up faster than 4th), and their Kill/Death spread (for slayer games). Originally the games had five players, but was soon increased to six. On September 16th 2008 Lone Wolves player count increased from six players to eight players.
