3 round games and Ranks

Is it me or are the 3 round games counting lame. THis totally throws off the ranking system, since it is so much based on how many games you've won and lost etc. I'm basically saying you have a greater chance to have a high rank if you play 3 round games rather than if you have only player 11 round games, theres no way if you're both winning. If you play 15 3 round games in an hour and win them all, you will have a better rank then a guy that played 2 11 round games in an hour. Just lame to me, hopefully Zipper fixes this soon.

how is winning games ranking up? just because you play a 3 round game doesnt make it rankup...you still have to beat the other team..lmfao

I'm not saying its rank up, I'm just saying that since the system is based on how many games you win it would give you a greater chance of winning more games with 3 game rounds than you would with normal games. If you don't see that you can win more games therefore having a higher rank by playing 3 round games you are blind. Its hard for someone that just plays 11 round games to be even close in rank to someone that plays a ton of 3 round games if they both win and are decent players.

Dude don't mean to burst your bubble but if you look at page 121 of the strategy guide you something that says Ranking Tips and it says and I quote.

Ranking Tips

Participate in full games: in the games where there are more players, there is a greater potential to earn more points.

Play in games that have multiple rounds: in games where more rounds are played, there is a multiplier applied to the player ratings. Competing in an eleven-round game will result in the greatest rating shift.

Winning against higher ranked players will result in a larger increase in your rating.

People don't understand that though.

Here is my problem with Rank in general...

People seem to care more about thier rank than enjoying a really fun game. WHO CARES WHAT RANK YOU ARE? Just play the game and have fun. I see these silly people playing 3 rnd games that have 2 min (or something like that) rounds. What is the point? Someone explain this to me?

Yea I feel you about the rank and stuff. The reason why people play those small games is so that they can get over the 100 games or so you need to get into the enlisted ranks and kill/death really start counting. Its a way to get to the "REAL" ranks faster.

Most of my clan would rather play in 3 or 5 round games, and some of them do pretty good and are as good or better than i am. I however always play in full 11 round games. My ranking is under 100, theirs are all around 100,000. Think theres a difference?

well, when u play those 3 round games to rank up and lets say you get to 100 games, u still have to bring up your kill/death ratio and stuff, so, thats a shortcut to ensign, where u will be sitting with that pathetic yellow stripe for a long long time, because in the 3 round games u dont get very many kills usually, and thats no good
