"How does the ranking system for Black Ops 2 Zombies work?"

It Doesn't.

nobody knows as of yet. just a load of theories and guesses.

i really want to find out aswell..

cant get my head round it. been playing most modes/areas but not going any higher rank. consistently getting round 35+ on tranzit on solo and still nothing. ridiculous. they havent even hinted at it on twitter either

I found that you have to play all the game types in order to rank up. For example:

I did the round glitch to 206 and got nothing. I then played a game of grief, re-did the glitch and now I'm the highest rank (Skull, blue eyes and 2 shotguns.)

Truth is, the ranking system is hard to understand, People say that if you don't play a game of zombies for a few days you get de-ranked just for not playing. No-one truly knows yet..

My advice would be to play a variety of game modes and try and do well for the team, i.e, Reviving, Opening doors and trying to come top in each game.

thanks for that, freedom. thats pretty much what ive been trying to do. im generally helpful in co-op games with regard to opening doors etc, not shy to spend the points. and just recently been trying to play all the modes, even though imo grief is a waste of time. and i do generally finish top too. not done any round glitches cos im afraid of getting reset haha. hopefully will rank up soon then!

No problem. You'll find that it isn't that easy to rank up in zombies anyway, It takes a hell of a long time. My friend said that he was on the Skull Blue eyes for almost a week before he got the single knife. Just keep playing I guess haha.

Just be good on the leaderboards overall. The Ranking System is a live reflection of you compared to everyone else in the world.

i think it depend of your final score because i wasn't leveling up and i got a really high score and i leveled up

thanks guys, i think some of my problem with co-op comes from who i play with. my group of friends, as much as i love them, arent quite at the same level im at. (at risk of sounding big headed its true). games end on tranzit at like round 25 n ive still got much more in the tank but im a bit hindered. gona put the call out and assemble a decent team n smash the game to bits

and yea, freedom i was on just the skull blue eyes for about a week then got high round on tranzit on solo which put me up to the skull with knife and blue eyes. then went on grief for the first time and it dropped me back down to the skull.

think ive got the blue eyes and tally marks thing figured tho. i think thats the amount of consecutive days played, but i might be wrong on that. miss a day, lose a tally mark kind of thing
