Tips for ranking up
- For starters, the Lone Wolves playlist is the most trouble-free way to get up to skill level 10, required for becoming a Lieutenant because since as long as your scoring position is in the 1st, 2nd or 3rd(Depending how many players are in the game) place you will gain EXP and if you win a couple games in a row there, you will earn Skill points.
- Team Doubles playlist is also another good choice for ranking up. Just make sure you have a buddy to join you in your team to have faith in him/her otherwise if you team up with other player(s) sometimes there may be a few players who, in team games betray their teammates for no good reason.
- Try being alert for Double EXP Weekend playlists. You will usually earn 2 EXPs instead of just one. Grifball and Living Dead are recommended for starters, as whichever player ranks you encounter, fun is always guranteed in the game.
- For those new to Halo, avoid Big Team Battle and playlists which usually includes long range weaponry like Battle Rifles as starting weapons if you're not skilled at it.
