Talk:Rank (Halo: Reach)

What the hell? You buy ranks? O.o Matt 2108 00:13, September 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * No, you rank up whenever you earn the given number of credits shown. And please avoid using informal language and smileys on talk pages. Mmm... Jackal Stew 14:19, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

Name Change
This is a proposal to change the name of this page - 'Rank (Halo: Reach)' sounds very vague. --Mmm... Jackal Stew 14:19, September 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * What would you change it to? Something like Halo: Reach Multiplayer Rank doesn't seem necessary. X Wing 08:21, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

Why not "Ranking System" instead? "Rank" could be anything from the military designation to sales figures to Xbox Live total player standings.


 * I'm fairly certain that the military population of Reach did not have specific ranks. And I don't think that anyone would type in Rank in a Halo game looking for sales figures or total player standings. I disagree with any name change, the current one is fine.

XP wrong
To get from Warrant officer grade 3 to Captain it takes 66,000 XP. I took a screenshot of my rank on bungie.net:

I didn't look below the warrant officer ranks but I believe to get to grade 1, 2, and 3 the XP listed is correct.

Edits
We need a confirmed list of all of the ranks and the cR required to get them and a protection on this page. It keeps getting editted incorrectly. X Wing 21:21, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

Bold
Why is Captain Grade 1 written in bolded font? Alex T Snow 13:49, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

How does it work with cR?
It's mentioned that spending cR in Halo Reach doesn't decrease your cR, but there's still one thing that isn't elaborated. For example, say you're between the ranks of Corporal Grade 1 and Sergeant. You have enough cR to get a new Firefight voice. If you purchase one, and your cR goes down, do you have to earn it back in addition to your remaining progress before reaching Sergeant (heck, even if you reach 0 cR, do you still have the same rank and have to earn 20,000 cR before advancing in rank?) Or is there somewhere that saves your "Total cR earned of all time" and uses that to advance ranks?


 * The spending of cR does not affect your rank progress. SPARTAN-177 01:14, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

Rank Locked at Lt. Colonel Grade 3
According to HBO, Bungie has locked the current rank at Lieutenant Colonel Grade 3, meaning you can't advance past that rank at the moment. Any ideas as to why they'd do that?  Captain Baird  Comm-LinkService Record 01:22, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
