Once I obtained this rank, however, I lost it for the duration of a game due to a previous loss. I saw someone that was 46th in the world in annex and only 2nd rank. However, the few people that I have seen with star and lightning bolts (5th rank?) have played a substantial amount of games but they were not ridiculously good. From this I can only infer 3 things: - don't quit - try to win every match (with high points and k/d ratio) - play a variety of public gametypes and maps (switch playlists often) I currently have the 3 silver stripes w/ a bar underneath (4th rank) and have found that playing variety helps the most.

My friend had been playing for 5 days and was in the 70-80 kills mark with a higher kills: deaths and win: loses ratio and he was still the first rank. But my other friend had only played 2 matches and lost them both on his first day but he managed to rank up with less then 10 kills. Explain that please... It’s certainly not about leader boards.

My friend on live is ranked in the 1000's on leaderboards and im in the 3000's and i have a higher rank then them. I agree with the guy above me, your rank is dependent on you kill/death ratio. If you die more your obviously gonna go down in rank, so try to play smart and get a positive kill/death ratio. Its not about where the person is on the leader boards.

Your rank is dependant upon your status on the leaderboards. All your positions (warzone, execution, king of the hill, etc.) average out to place you in your rank. ok this answer is straight from the forums.

The previous games he was first. I **** and stayed the same. I think it has to do with win/loss ratio, and like Halo 3, second place is also a win (In FFA).
