Rank (Halo 3 Multiplayer)

In Halo 3's multiplayer matchmaking system, there are two types of ranks. The Global Rank is shown on the Service Record and is based upon a combination of the player's highest ranked skill level and total number of Experience Points (EXP). Playlist Ranks were introduced in Title Update 2 and are based only on the number of EXP accumulated in the respective playlist.
Halo 3 rank and stat tracking is available in Bungie.net, but updates were discontinued on March 31, 2012.Bungie.net: Halo 3 Rank History
==Experience Points (EXP)==
After a matchmaking match, players are awarded EXP as follows:
*Win: +1 EXP
*Tie (in team games): +1 EXP
*Loss: 0 EXP
*Disconnecting from a match before it ends (including booted for betrayals): -1 EXP
A player is considered to have won if he or his team places in the top half.
==Global Ranks==
Note that some Global Ranks can be skipped if the player meets the skill level requirement for a higher rank. For example, a player with the rank of Gunnery Sergeant Grade 2 can skip Gunnery Sergeant Grade 3 and go to Lieutenant Grade 1 if he reaches a skill rank of 10 in a ranked playlist before accruing 150 EXP.

==Trivia==
*By the Global Rank of Lieutenant, all armor permutations and achievements dependent on Global Rank will have been unlocked.
*The Vidmaster Challenge: Lightswitch achievement is unlocked by achieving a playlist rank of Lieutenant.
*The Vidmaster Challenge: 7 on 7 achievement is unlocked by entering a playlist with 7 total EXP earned in that playlist on the 7th of any month.
*The ranks are based on the same ranks in the United States Army and Marine ranking systems. The notable differences are the lack of Warrant Officer and the difference between a Brigadier and one-star General.
