There is no set process to gain skill, but is your skill relative to other players currently playing Halo 3. You do not gain skill unless you become appreciably and significantly better.

Skill is awarded to players of Halo 3’s Matchmaking, along with experience points. This can only be obtained on ranked playlists, such as Lone Wolves or Team Slayer.

Gaining Skill

There is no set process to gain skill, but is your skill relative to other players currently playing Halo 3. You do not gain skill unless you become appreciably and significantly better. If you develop a greater headshotting ability, your skill level should rise commensurately, unlike with EXP, which only changes if you win a match. [1] Though skill is earned much quicker by winning free for all games, than by playing team games.

Skill and Experience

The Halo 3 skill system has been rebuilt to build a good, accurate, and fair system that will ensure even more balance, better matching and less cheating and abuse than that of Halo 2.

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, 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.
