www.bungie.com tells you exactly how it works, it is pretty involved so I
will not try to explain it here. In short it depends on where you finish in
the game and how much they were ranked in the game. If you are a 2 and beat
a 6, 5, 4, and maybe lose to a 8 and a 3 you will most likely move up a
rank. It is always good to be in a game with higher rated players, it gives
you a good chance of taking out someone higher rated than you. My goal is to
never fall below 5th.
Goodluck,
Brad
