Lone Wolves

Lone Wolves is a Ranked, free-for-all playlist in Halo 3. It is a considerable counterpart of Rumble Pit, which is non-ranked free-for-all. Lone Wolves matches contain 6 players, though the maximum party size is only one. In a recent update the player count increased from 5 to 6 in order to make a few of the achievements easier to obtain. It also added Swords to the playlist and reduced objective games by a bit making slayer come up more often.

Leveling system
1st place: +75 points 2nd place: +33 points 3rd place: +10 points 4th place: -10 points 5th place: -33 points 6th place: -75 points

Whether or not a player will gain or lose credit towards his level is based on which position the player comes in. There are exactly 100 "points" between each level. For example, if a player is Level 30 with 50 credit points, the player would level up to 31 when he has accumulated 50 more points. If a player has 20 credit points for Level 40, the player will drop to Level 39 if he comes in 5th or 6th place the next match he plays. If a player starts at Level 1 with 0 credit points he/she will achieve Level 50 in 66 matches if he were to come in 1st place every one of them. If a player at Level 25 with 70 credit points comes in 1st place the next match, they will then be Level 26 with 45 credit points.
