For those of you wondering what the ranks next to a player’s name in Gears of War 2 multiplayer mean, Epic is here to explain everything.
Turns out, the system is much smaller than the ranking systems in Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4.
There are 5 ranks (see picture), which are determined by Microsoft‘s TrueSkill system. There are two hard and fast rules:
- Rank is only affected by Public Xbox LIVE matchmaking games. It is not affected by Horde or Private games.
- Quitting games early will lower your rank.
The actual ranking is based on a player’s expectations in a game versus the outcome. If you get matched up against a team of higher ranked players and win, you’ll rating will increase more than beating a team of evenly matched opponents. This is because the higher ranked players are expected to win.
Likewise, higher ranked players will not gain as many “points” by beating lower ranked opponents, but stand to lose more “points” to lower ranked teams with a loss.
For the record, I am currently rank 3. What are you?
im fuking mad i have better stats then people that are rank 4 and im still rank 1 help plese
i dont understand this at all i mean there is no score ladder or anything, will the rank automatically change when least expected.

I was rank 9 , then i went on vacation for 2 weeks and when i came back im back to 1 again… what a fucking stupid system.
i was rank 26 and i didnt play the game for 2 days and when i went to play it again i was rank 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
why is that if any 1 knows
if u wont u can see if people have glithes to get to 100 some cost and some dont
come on man!
going lvl up is the easiest thing in GoW2
one night…like 3 or 4 hours…and i was lvl 15 before i noted it
2 achievements unlocked…
just keep playing!
there are sometimes when the opposite team is in party and they just kill all of your team so fast
but still…easy to do…climb to lvl 15…rank seasoned gear
i recommend warzone…and kill everything u can
good luck! cya there…
