EDIT
I think this is importnant to note, dont play a game til you have turned the box on and off..........
Do NOT get upset and start playing to make up the ranks.
What has happened is while downloading your personal settings, your old data became jumbled with your current data. So, if you play you will over overwrite what your current rank should be.
- How can I get my rank back?
Just turn your xbox on and off ... or go back and forth between multiplayer and single player (whatever you can do to make Xbox Live show the screen to download your personal settings). Doing this will make the servers continuously search for your data, eventually it will find the correct data and fix the problem for the time being.
- I've done what you said, but my rank still isn't coming back, what's wrong?
#1 - Normally these problems do not sort themselves out the very next time you download your settings. For quick access purposes, servers will set apart your information for X amount of time so it doesn't need to search for it time and time again for only short leaves from playing the game. One of the best ways to fix this is to shut off your xbox for a short period of time, maybe 5-10 minutes ... then start up and go to xbox live, see if it can download the right information, then rinse and repeat until it is fixed. Repeatedly just backing out of xbox live and going back in will rarely fix your problem, the servers need time to reset your data and put it back into "storage".
#2 - In RARE cases, some people might actually lose their information permanently. It is inevitable that any system can lose packets or get corrupt files but it is extremely rare. I am not the one to tell you that it is the time to give up and re-level, that is your place to make the final call but if you feel that you fall under this category just remember... when you play your first game, it is permanent, that will now become your new level to build from.

Jeez you've moved up quickly, you were last game I played with you!
Hahaha it's all about using all the guns
Think that's where I'm going wrong...I'm using a paper knife.
Oh and read the LAN thread dude!
You know what i meant, you have to use them all to rank up faster. I've seen the thread but won't know til I'm back at work tuesday.

Is that because you get XP for the challenges?
Yep...(can't work out if that was sarcasm or not!)
Yep 150 kills per gun gives you an extra 1350 xp. Something like 100 for 25 kills, 250 for 75 and 1000 for 150.
Shotguns and sniper need less kills but the XP isnt as high IIRC.
I work my way through all the SMG's then LMG's then shotgun, finally assault rifles apart from the single shot. That then takes me to level 40-45. After that I just choose my fav weapons.
Its a system that seems to work for me.
What level is the M4 unlocked at?
I haven't even done 1 prestige mode yet
M4 unlocks early about 15-20 I think.

Ps3 had the same problem over xmas where you would lose XP gained and rank, they gave a double XP weekender, maybe xbox Live will do the same?. Ironically certain xbox fanboys on here laughed at us poor PS3 users, lol

The same thing happened to me, I just went back to the dashboard then reconnected and it was back to my proper level.
I'd go back to the thread and double check if I was you that you wasn't one of the xbox fanboys laughing
I'm starting to wonder whose nicked your log in details.
