  • I dont understand, how long does it take to get into an division. I keep getting rating everyday but never a division.

  • It's 4 games...

  • 2bUCKS!!!

  • compared to this noob i shoot everytime even if i know i cant finish him and not just only in arena. But ur too bad to understand this noobie

  • this rating is stupid and broken

  • Can you rank up in your over all division? How so or why not?

  • i had ratings between 1500 and 1600 for 5 days straight, and won 16 out of 20 games and i got put in the bronze division whatsup with that ??

  • i apreciate this bro

  • wrong wrong wrong u r right about ratings but they have barely anything to do with your division its based off wins if you move up in % of division iv been in onyx the last few seasons its based mainly off wins similar to halo3/2

  • THANKS AND GOOD GAME PLAY WHEN YOU GOT THOSE NoObS IN THE AIR :}

  • DO you start out at Iron when you get first rated (Arena Season 9)

  • how do you rank in arena

  • You sound like Oscar from The Office!

  • 0:36  unnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnlucky!

  • can u go down a division?

  • @Luftwaffells yep

  • 0:53 "The rating of zero can never be achieved" I'll take that challenge, you need to see me play

  • @TheWorldsStage No it's actually impossible but keep trying you will do everyone else a great service until your permanently in steel and no one cares.

  • awesome vid man thanks!!!!!!

  • @tyresewifey44 The guide is good, but is outdated. The Arena now depends on team skill. Meaning if you win, you go up in division. If you lose, you go down in division. Think of it like Halo 3.

    The rating, however, is just about the same. The difference now is that the rating doesn't affect your division placing. Read Bungie Weekly Update 2/18/11 to verify.

  • 2bucks - a lot of this is different now. you should add some annotations saying this is not the way it is any more.

  • @CaptainDaphy I have to agree true skill was a lot better then areana I just didn't like the ranking system in halo 3 I could never make a high rank but my true skill was amazing I just lost most of my games and could never rank

  • This help = beast mode

  • im top 20% onyx. I rape in halo.

  • 4 games every day...

  • @germanlovemachine the same thing just happened to me! i got rated 5 times with an average over 1500, and i got bronze, while my friend who averaged 1200-1300 got silver and i was like wtf...its absolute horse shit lol. but yeah if anybody can tell my why this happened that would be great. thanks

  • Comment removed

  • @rBaILeY1421 because Arena does not rank you by your daily rating, Arena ranks you by how much your team wins. If you lose 5 out of 10 games and have a rating of 1500 you will not be the same as a team that wins 10 out of 10 with 1200. The team that won 10 out of 10 games will have a higher percentile/better division.

    It's simple, play more games, win more games. Move up in divisions.

    Team Win = Better Percentile/Division.

  • @CaptainDaphy lol thanks. its kind of dumb how bungie did it this time around (in my opinion, don't burn me at the stake for saying so), but oh well i guess haha

  • @rBaILeY1421 I agree. I think it's unfair especially if you search MM solo, you can be in 1st on your team with 20+ kills and still lose/drop divisions because your team performed poorly. This makes players suffer based upon their team instead of flourish because of your own skills.

    Just another broken unfair system Bungie has introduced with Halo: Reach.

  • @CaptainDaphy Exactly. Hopefully Bungie goes back to the true skill rating for Halo: CE Anniversary edition, or better yet, Halo 4. I'm not saying make it exactly like Halo 3, but if they maybe added some more ranks or something, it could really make for a fantastic game.

  • @rBaILeY1421 yes it would. It would also balance out games much better. Idk how Reach selects players for MM but I have had some insane games 50-10 in Team Slayer or being matched against a full party in BTB. Stuff like this really makes it random & unfair. I can understand omitting TrueSkill for faster MM searches but more people would play if they played people at their level and not be completely destroyed by a superior team or vice versa.

  • @CaptainDaphy Yeah, that's exactly how I feel sometimes...don't get me wrong, I like Reach, but the game had so much potential that was lost when they excluded using the TrueSkill ranking system...I guess we will see how the next game is.

  • hey is there a way to up your posistion if your in like silver and i want to get to gold how would i do that?

  • i had a 1637 rating + a day for 5 days with a 67win %.. and got silver i was pissed

  • to rank up does ur ercent go down cus mine did, then it shot up 2 85 bronze

  • Thanks. But My rating dropped from 60, to 45, to 25, to 10 % So How do I get back up.

  • @BeguiledTurnipVDI That's good actually! It's not percent, it's percentile, so the lower number is how good you are in that division. So 10% is saying you're the top ten percent of that division.

  • @ImABeautifulMan thanks

  • Its Okay to rush Alot And Cause Your Team To Lose Thats Why My Team Has Been Fucking Me Over Because There Listening To This Fucker!

  • the arrow in your rating calculator looks like a dick

  • i love halo reach im not a big cod fan too meany noob tubers and campers

  • More than 40%? Assists are more than 40%? That explains why I take someone's shield down then my teammate comes in to kill them and I DON'T get an assist...

  • My K/D is a 2.76 and i didnt get onyx i got Iron...

  • I think now its mainly based on your win loss. Because i usually finish with a high rating like 1700-1800 but im in iron with a 1 win/loss ration

  • @asears45 you my good sir are a liar

  • My KA/D is 2.0 and my K/D is 1.65, and my division is iron. Did bungie release any information regarding how division placement works?

  • What is Arena good for?

  • one match i got realy lucky with a sniper and killed so many noobs, with and whithout the scope. then next day i found myself getting constantly owned. i think it was because of the rating. thanks 4 the vid. =D

  • Give [̲̅$̲̅(̲̅2̲̅)̲̅$̲̅] his dogs back.

  • Thanks a lot man this video was very helpful.

  • I can't find the link to the calculator thing. please send me a link :)

  • My best rating is 1784

  • LMAO, he got his teammate killed at 0:31.

    The guy was sneaking up on the sniper and the OP completely screwed it up by appearing on the enemy radar while rushing directly at the sniper. Fail.

  • it sucks because i live in japan and i get lag all the time T_T

  • i hate arena

  • @wakkyvideogroup Yay! You gave me a response. Just trollin' that what I be doin'. I actually don't mind halo.

  • Halo Sucks.

  • so just plan and simple the higher the rating the better you are correct ?

  • @iXiXeroXiXi no. if you play lower "rated" people and get a higher score, you didn't achieve much so your score wont be as good. If you score high against similar or higher rated players then you go up.

  • i still dont understand how to get into divisions. like whats the difference

  • so the division your set into depends on your kdr, right?

    is quitting a game just as bad as going negative 30?

  • This guys a fuckin idiot. Your division is based mainly on ur wins losses and games quit out of. Its essentially the same system as halo 3 where a win will put u up a level ect. All this stuff about rating doesnt matter, you could get 1700 every game and if you lose every game youll still be in iron. the rating system is just so u can see your own progress to make it abit more intresting.

  • @nvk1001 Wrong the system is not like H3 but equally rating doesn't matter. its the best half of the game essentially the same system as lone wolves on H3. Wins/losses mean nothing if the system was designed right everyone would have a 1:1 win loss ration

  • do games you quit affect the rating in the long run? could you just keep quitting until you get good ratings so guaranteed onyx?

  • @xXRequiremXx quitting a game negatively effects your division.

    so its like a lost game

  • @Halofreak1178 is it better to stay and do bad, or leave until you do good?

  • @xXRequiremXx they are the same but staying is more advisable as you can always claw your way back. BTW ratings mean nothing they simply show how your doing against the other players in the game

  • @Halofreak1178 Right

    doing bad like 0 kills 50 deaths is as bad as quiting

  • so what average rating do you have to get per day to get onyx? i get 1500-1600 on average

  • @xXRequiremXx Rating means nothing but it allows the game to see how well you did against the other players

  • @xXRequiremXx the rating is your best 3 games nothing else

  • @oSHADOWSCOPEo im talking about division, not rating

  • @xXRequiremXx Yeah but quiting is as bad as being worst with 10000 deaths 0 kills

    which affects your division negatively

  • Like many others who have posted, I disagree with the part about rushing and not worrying about deaths. Rushing more often than not gets you double /triple teamed, and deaths takes away precious game time and takes you away from the action where you want to be with your team spewing destruction as a team.

  • what rating do you need to get qualified in Arena? How long does it take until you get put into a division?

  • @DarkJediX89 4 games a day and 5 days on arena season 4

  • I play like, what, maybe 4or 5 arena games per day, and usually win with at least 10 kills, but don't know where to find my rating, I looked on B.net and it is not there. Perhaps you can shed some light on this? My GT is EDSLocklear btw.

  • let me just say this.. dont worry bout deaths? well the more you die, the more likely you are to lose, especially if you play with n00b team. say you play well. lets say you get a rating of 1525..if you had lost that same game. that 1525 would be 1464. if your rating drops "only" 4% if you lose. that means a potentially good game could turn ugly. even 1600 rating turns into 1504.. an "awesome" game into an "above average" game. just think about that

  • fable is the best game, whenever I get in to it it feels like my life is the video game and fable is real life it deserves more credit

  • i want to see the medals for each divisions

  • im gonna keep not dying so my k/d doesnt look bad

  • if you win three games every day how long does it take to get into a division?

  • @Sangheilios666

    You don't have to win 3 games, just play 3 games to get rated for the day. It takes 10 rated days to be placed in a division.

  • Hey guys ive got a question,

    when you get a low avg for example 39 or something like that you can level faster up cant you? And youre playing with noobs so you get more kills...^^

  • thanx gee

  • Ok for 1. Just "rushing a lot and dont worry about deaths" that is just plain idiotic thats what ruined call of duty is the lone wolf aspect of the gameplay. I cannot believe I wasted my time on this god awful video only reason I clicked on this is because I wanted to find out how many days I needed to be ranked in a row to get a division.

  • @MegaThunderstrike Na what ruined Call of duty was the massive amount (99% of the players in the game to be exact) camping. That ruined call of duty. That plus mix sum over amount of moding and you get MOD Campfare 2 game for modders and camping noobs. Why to go campers and modders you ruined another game can't wait for that to happen in halo.. oh wait its already happening (/watch?v=rdPmborS9YM) Can't wait for modders to ruin MoH it already has massive camping right now.

  • @XFerginatorX Um wrong? There is little to no modding and not alot of campers online. The ranking system just doesnt encourage teamwork like halo 3's does.

  • I have an avg of 1590 and i have yet to be placed in a division. Which sucks but whatever.

  • thanks for the video

  • where is the download link ?

  • Thnx is so helpful!!

  • Great post. Thumbs Up people!!!

  • whether it is /2 or /3 none of calculators i have tested or mine gives the correct rating

  • I don't get the sample ratings... 30, 3, 30=1616 and 26,3,7=1652 when 26,3,7 is waaaaaay better.

  • I got a rating of 1660 today because I whored the power weapons. then I won 7 games in a row and my rating stayed the same. I like the older ranking system...

  • @JohnCougarFish23 It ranks you by your best 3 games (a+b+c) / 3 = x

    so If you had say 1556, 1580, and 1660, Your rank would be 1599. So if you play a lot more games but none of your ratings are above 1556 (a) then you won't get a higher rating, it'll stay the same.

  • rating system sucks. If you want a good rating just take power weapons and don't die-fuck helping the team it's all about me.

  • F5 to fuck the advertisements

  • Rated, commented AND Subbed :)

  • thankyou soo much!

  • haha im undefeated so far =]

  • guys i got a question!

    ok i Just got 7 rated days in "Arena Doubles"with an average rating of 1550 over the days..and now finaly i got into a division..ok but i just got the Iron Devision..i was like wtf!..off course i didn't expected to be onyx, but silver or Gold would have been nice..since i saw a lot player which frequently had about 1350 and got iron as well!???

    if somebody could explain me in which Division i get with what rating..or sth like that..that would help me a lot!

    thx for reply

  • @germanlovemachine it counts all your games not just your good ones so your average rating is about 1300 :)

  • @germanlovemachine It depends heavily on the skill of the players you are playing. Playing noobs and getting a decent rating doesn't mean you'll get in a good division. I have been Onyx in every season and top 2% in Arena and 4% in Doubles.

  • @germanlovemachine The daily rating has no effect on your division it is simply your best games. The arena counts all games good or bad. the top 50% of players go up an invisible rank and the bottom 50% go down an invisible rank.in short the more you play the more likely you are to be put in a good division. about 20-30 games a day will be enough for onyx if you are top 50% at least 2/3 times.

  • @germanlovemachine I assume it is like the starcraft 2 rating system, considering the color coded divisions. If it is the divisions are divided into brackets where a certain amount of people play each other. To advance to the next divisions, you must stay atop your bracket for a certain period of time, say 1-2 weeks. If that is achieved, you rank up to the next division. this goes on till you hit onyx (diamond for sc2). I'm not 100% sure its the same so take this with a grain of salt. cheers!

  • @germanlovemachine I got onyx first time, with ratings only around 1400, its more about who you play against and how you play consistently. Every game counts so if you play one game really bad, and play 4 other games well, your rating average may look good, but the system knows you can play bad. Anyone can have a good game against anyone, to hit gold or onyx you want to be consistently winning against people within those divisions. For more detailed info feel free to pm me :)

  • @germanlovemachine  did u find a answer too that?

  • @germanlovemachine so... u can get 1700 every day but its not so esay.. the rating system is different... the number u have near your gamertag is only your % in the division ... in fact the division u are is set by some factors: first of all u have to be in the first 2players in double arena or the first 4in team arena(for example,you played a match with A,B and C..your rating at the end is better than BandC) ;second u have to not quit much games; its important to win the game;

  • @germanlovemachine the rating is also set by the skill of your enemies(best raing division if u beat gold or onyx)

  • @germanlovemachine It may be because you rage quit or if you quit at all. In the arena playlist Bungie rapes you severely if you quit games no matter what the frequency

  • not technically true. there's a weapons difficulty factor.

  • @TiDuS2810

    I've heard of that; do You have any source?

  • I wanna see a graph!

  • It's "/2" NOT "/3"

    "raw_rating = kills + assists - deaths/2 - betrayals"

    -Source Bungie.net

    Thumb Up this comment to give people correct info!

  • hey im confused now....well i mean i didnt hear if you said it but...WHAT DOES DOING ARENA GET ME AT THE END OF THE DAY ??....i did my first season looks like a steel star...had between 1320-1620 ratings within the 7 days....

  • @RyanParsonsStudios im still in school jaja your the one who is fighting in the internet

    get a life man lol

  • Arena Rating System Explained

    ARSE

    lol

  • thanks dude for the video, i thought i was doing heeps shit cuz my number was higher than 1500

  • What about booting people. I just did that to some random teammate

  • @RagedREAP3Rx why boot people? unless he was being a douchbag dont boot a teammate if it was an accident you team could use all the help they can get.

  • @XWilsXXXInsane no shit! i hate noobs that boot me on rocket fight in firefight for getting in the way of my rocket

  • above the score board mid game it already has a rateing calc

  • terrible ranking system. you are no longer competeing against the other team....you are now competing against your own teammates to steal kills. Fuck arena. Halo 3 wasn't perfect, but the ranking system was still a lot better.

  • @cambow13 then.. just don't play in the arena mode. There's plenty of other playlists to play in.

  • @cambow13 just don't play arena? 0_0

  • @cambow13 lol, stealing a kill helps both players on the the team, as long as one gets an assist. its a good system that does work, at least you know that if someone steals a kill an you get a assist you both get equal points.

    people say that it sucks your wrong,you earn about the same which is good (as not everyone likes slayer, so why should they be penalised for not liking it) an with the commendations it makes people vary the game modes a bit more

  • @cambow13 kills and assists are the same amount of points so it doesnt matter if u compete against your team...

  • You are good if you play alot. thats it i was a brigadier and my friend was a major. i have played 7 days he has played 8 i am wayyy better than him but since he has played more he has a higher ranking. This is a very stupid ranking system it rewards you with nothing, unranked games give u between 500-700 credits if you go positive K/D, and so does ranked, ranked is useless. hyou can see ur rank when u hit the back button on unranked matches and on ranked its by ur name,thats the only difference

  • i must say thanks for going into an in depth commentary on arena i was curious why i was put in silver and not gold or onyx

  • @TimTheKing23

    Your pretty cocky.

  • @hellboy333xbl no i was just curious why i was in the middle division if i was cocky then i would have been all high and mighty saying that i deserve to be in onyx and why i think i should be in onyx but no im just thanking him for i figured out why im in silver so dont call me cocky plz if you dont have anything to back it up

  • this guy sounds like ferris bueller

  • bungie couldnt have just simply had 1-50,

    they had to make it stupid and more compliated

    Halo2 ranking system FTW.....nuff said

  • @GoWxGaiA agreed, it takes the teamwork out of the system because its all kill.... now team arena is like 8 people free for all except u cant kill 3 w/o getting booted

  • Can someone explain to me when a season ends does your kills/deaths and wins/losses dissapear?

  • @RyanParsonsStudios fucking nerd .. go calculate you statistics 

  • i was averaging 1500 and today i got 1300 i got put into bronze (yeah that sucks) can i get into other divisions

  • How many days have to play 3 Games?

  • @Pflaumenvirus117 You have to play at least 8 games in the season

  • There are so many flaws in this video, it's not all just about the formula he posted. Which actually isn't the right formula. It was used in the Beta, but was changed in the final game. But it takes more than just what he said into account.

  • How many points is a kill or assist worth? I know that it isn't 1!

  • I have a positive K/D spread and finish top 4 like 75percent of the time and am silver :(

  • @despitetheloss dude i was averaging 1500 and today i got 1300 i got put into bronze (yeah that sucks) can i get into other divisions?

  • @mac6627 well I got put into bronze finally and yes you can move up.

  • neeeerdy lol

  • 0:01

    

  • i dont get it, ive played area, like 5 games a day for like a week... how come i dont have an iron or silver star?

  • @Rdy2goXTR you need to be rated for 10 tens

  • @Necrousssss thats their division silver star means they got into silver division 1540 is their average rating of that day and that silver star is where their average rating over ten days got them

  • i love this game. and them there dont love this game just f*ck of

  • q porq ria

  • this game is avalabil on pc ?

  • @TheZoly13 no it is only for xbox 360

  • couldn't, theoretically speaking, you get 2000 if you play perfectly? of course this is almost impossible.

  • 0:01 skip ads

  • i thumbs up even when i dont have halo n xbox^^

  • silly rabit why dont you mention that this is ALL SAID ON BUNGIE.NET

  • god this pissed me off i had a low score i thought it was good like i never go negative WTF

  • There's no need to type in information when you're dead, when you can check your rating at any time during the game by just looking at the scoreboard.

  • why do some peoples rank blink?

  • @phasestostun19 It means they ranked up their previous game.

  • @phasestostun19 because they play xbox and PS3 is where it's at!

  • @blackrambo1196 LOL! thats pretty BS since xbox has like 90%+ of the great online games. PS3 has got jack squat, only one or two decent games. BTW, if you play PS3, why were u watching this? why not play your super cool PS3? oh thats right ts not cool so your just bored right now lol!

  • @blackrambo1196 PS3 got no game lol.

  • it said my rating was 1500 and I was best in the game but I was confused I though it the rating went small to big but now i know thanks

  • I was in a game and I got 56 kills with 3 deaths and it said my rating was 1500 and I was best in the game but I was confused I though it the rating went small to big but now i know thanks
