What Infest said, haha.

MY KD was about 500 when I hit the shotguns, then dropped to low 4's, high 3's now it's back up to 475...you can get the shotguns in less than a week with a new account as long as you play 2 good games a day and have a lovely ratio. Shotguns are no longer difficult if you trust me. Thanks.

Management

De-ranking occurs most from multiple downs in a game. My girlfriend has lost her skull w/ dagger emblem 3 times all after games in which she went down between 5-10 times back to back even though her ratio was still within "knife" KDR. After a decent game, she'd get her emblem right back. The longer you take to have a "decent" game though, the longer it will take to rank back up to your previous emblem.

Very likely. I was on Skull with Blue Eyes. Didn't play a day , logged in and they were gone. Same day I did Round 40 on nuketown with a friend. I got Knife but blue eyes were still off. Sometimes I wonder breaking for a day or two and starting over helps ranking up. May be something gets reset?

You got the knife now? Congrats! I knew you would.

Yes you don't need blue eyes

Honestly, MF you'll rank up any day now. Play Solo some more it will go up within the next 3 days max.

I'll say it once, I'll say it again, you do NOT need the specific formula to know when you're going to rank it's based on approximation and ratio....seriously guys.

I bombed every map on Zombies the whole week. Solo and Co-op, I got over 30 rounds plus on every map.

I calculated and my KD went up to 85. (It wouldn't be so low if I knew this before I started playing Grief mode with friends and went for my achievements first) I'm still the damn regular skull rank. So all the talk about needing over 70 KD or having high rounds on every map to get to skull with knife rank is bullshit... I even beat every leaderboards on my friends list, and one of them is a skull with shotguns.. wtf?!

But yeah, that's about all I can make of this ranking system so far. I'm sick of these retarded maps aswell, besides Nuketown. So if I don't get some legt info on the rankings which nobody can get to so far, I doubt I'll still be playing this until they decide to release their DLC.

I wanted a higher rank before that though, but it just seems impossible to get unless you get a high KD in your first few games.

It is the KDR..again, the generic range for skull to knife is 60-200 which you're on the low end of, do you have a lot of downs? Downs are the worst factor for your rank, they are weighted heavily against you and a lot of drops in a game with under 200 kills can easily drop your emblem.

It's simple really, Ill explain it when I have time, I'm at work now..

The highlight reel ratings has to do with zombies? How do we find that?!

I got it from Everything Piff, he was the originator of the KDR theory and he was the first to notice te 7pm national ranking modifications. I just happened to expand on his findings. And I have mastered how to get shotguns in a week. The issue is if everyone finds out how to play, most players that are only barely above average can get the shotguns and that's why 3arc is keeping it a secret. If they wanted legit rankings they should have a real judge lol

Darksungaming got the shotguns I watched him get it he got them t 7pm just like I told you what time it would happen I figured it out now would anyone give me some credit?!

My name is Kris and I am an AVID Ps3 zombie player and slayer alike. I can literally play for hours, and I rarely go down.

My PSN is SoM_Pr0diGy (with a 0) and I really look forward to getting to know and play with some of you gamers alike! Add me!!

Indeed the chart is not perfect, and there are too many variables in the ranking system; HOWEVER the average KDR of a specific emblem can be noted.

Ex: Skull with Knife (Averages 70-200)

Skull with Shotguns (Averages 200 - Infinity)

Skull (20-70 Avg)

Of course numbers can be either lower or higher than these numbers, however what I must admit about the ranking system with the emblems is that THOSE WITH THE KNIVES AND THE SHOTGUN RANKS ARE AMONG THE BEST PLAYERS I'VE PLAYED WITH.

So the ranking system itself isn't as flawed or as terrible as people claim it to be. Stop hating and play well and eventually everyone's ranks will reflect their skill!

Thank you, MNM. And I'll tell you the reason why it's 80% KDR at least. My gf cannot get to high rounds AT ALL by herself. But she ranked up to the knife by playing Survival Farm on Solo and only downing once or twice per game with about 100-300 kills a game so her ratio was over 100. Skull w/ Knife and blue eyes in 4 days and she only been past round 20 once.

She also didn't really experiment with different game types like the game recommends or anything, she played like 1 or 2 Tranzits and 90% solo Survival Farm. There's no need to know the exact formula as long as you know the KD for your goal emblem.

Blue eyes simply means you played the last 5 days in a row consecutively and nothing more. You lose tallies and emblems from bad games and ONLY tallies from lack of playing. Simple as that.

And the largest factor is KDR, proven multiple times by multiple accts made by me and my gf.

I've never heard of that map but it seems to be popular here?

You need a KDR of 200 approximately. Right now, you only have 80 KDR. You have a very long way to go I'm sorry to say. .

I like Double Slap, Tombstoner and JuggerNoggin

You guys on PS3?

What are some of the coolest zombie gamertags or PSN's that you would come up with or that you may have already seen? Let me know if you like any of these:

The majority of zombies players favorite map? How do you figure? Kino is alright but I doubt it rates as a favorite among zombie players, its a little easy.

I think Der Riese and Verruckt would rate over kino. Knowing the nubs they would probably say Ascension. Personally, I think Shang and Verruckt are the best.

But yeah, updated re-released maps would be cool, but not something I'd be running out to drop money on...I'd prefer not to buy the same map 3 times unless it really has "new" things to do in it.

Haha, I just said that, I love Kino...it's my all-time favorite map b/c it was the first zombie map I ever played and once I realized I was really good at it, I've literally taught people how to play and made them pretty good too.

I'm going to make an account called "CantDropWontDrop" haha

How cool would it be if they provided an updated version of Kino (the majority of zombie players' favorite map)and grief mode on Kino. That would be amazing. I think I'd always play nonstop.

Nooo, I was only saying super high rounds count for a LOWER than average KDR for a specific emblem. For example, shotguns with a 125KDR or something. Everyone's stats are different: for example, you can have a 140KDR with shotties or a 223 KDR with the knife, but clearly there are other factors coming into play...I think part of those other factors are rounds, to be honest, along with the accuracy, headshots, etc..
