How to Rank Up in GRAW
While playing Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter, I hear a lot of questions about rank. My bud Jimmy888 suggested I make a post about it, and I also got a question in email over the weekend, so here goes.
To rank up in GRAW, win. That's it.
Most of us play team games in GRAW, so that's what my focus is.
When playing a team game, it's all about the win. It doesn't matter if you got 47 kills and 2 deaths, 44,700 points for seige or domination, or if you won by 1 point. A win is a win is a win.
The win and who is on each team are the only factors in rank scoring for team games.
Here it is straight from the horse's mouth:
"Q: Does the TrueSkill ranking system reward individual players in a team game?
A: The only information the TrueSkill ranking system will process is
1. Which team won.
2. Who were the members of the participating teams.
The TrueSkill ranking system takes neither the underlying exact scores (flag captures, kills, time etc.) for each team into account nor which particular team member performed how well. As a consequence, the only way players can influence their skill updates is by promoting the probability that their team wins. Hence, "ball &*%@#", "hill &*%^", "flag fruits", "territory twits", and "bomb &^$$#@" will hurt their individual TrueSkill ranks unless what they are doing helps their team. Obviously, it is difficult to update individual players' skills from team results only. To understand the difficulty and the solution consider the following analogy: Suppose you have four objects (players), each having an unknown weight (skill). Suppose further that you have a balance scale (game) to measure weight (skill) but are always only allowed to put two objects on each side of the balance. If you always combine the same pair of objects, the only information you can get is which pair of objects is heavier. But if you recombine the players into different pairs you can find out about their individual skills. As a consequence, the TrueSkill ranking system will be able to find out about individual players' skills from team outcomes given that players not only play in one and the same team all the time but in varying team combinations."

So, in a team game, does it matter if you're a 3 and you kill a 12? Nope, unless you win. And then it doesn't matter who you killed or who killed you, it just matters who won. However, a team full of low ranks beating a team full of high ranks will gain much more rank than vice versa.

the fastest way to rank up on graw is host matches for 500 points repondes off cause if u kill some one ur leaderboard ponts will go down alot but it wont give u the full 500 points dont know why but its alot better then doing team matches for 50 points sharpshooter u wont get noweare on rank. u will but it wll take to long. i went up to a rank 6 on like a month playing them cound of matches. but i have been playing game like 7 months to just get to that rank. but now i have realize that get alot of more points of getting my next rank doing last man standing 500 points or team terrtiory but if u loose the match ur leader board will go back up my best bet is to win games more then u loose them. i just got a new screan name about 4 weeks ago i am already a rank 8 going on 9 so its easyer to get ur rank up by more points then 50 points. the reason that i play responde off is cause when i win the points counts as i f i was doing sharpsheeter but alot faster then having to kill someone 50 times or 150 500 it still counts as much points as it would on respondes off

But is there a set amount of points you need to rank up and if so how do those points relate to the ranking
This game’s ranking system is totally random!! i just won a pistols only game… team elimination… 37 kills to 12 and i went down 14%!!! how the hell?? im rank 9 and was 94%, now only 80. not impressed. anyone who is about about rank 7 will know how long it takes to go up this much of a percentage. why?? i dont understand?
