Not really any more because Bungie are -blam!-s and reset the ranks (there still awesome) for no good reason and Halo 3 is right around the corner.

It does matter a little to me, it would be nice to have a high rank, but if it goes down it won't bother me. I play the game for fun and would like a higher rank but I'm not gonna lose sleep over it when I have a bad day and drop like 3 levels. There are some people out there that take that number way too seriously. Those are the ones that I don't like to play with. All they do is freak out when the game doesn't go the way they want it to.

It matters to me. Since the reset, I haven't been playing enough to get my level back up to where it should be very fast. So every now and then I play, and I'm still playing with a lot of people below my skill level, making for easy games. It'll be fine when may rank gets back up there, but that just goes to show that it does matter.

It's not that I care about having a high rank, I just want to play with people at my level or better.

I agree with this ... i don't care much about rankings, but having good competition is nice. Ever since the rank reset, I can care less about getting high ranks in snipes or hardcore ... the only one that matters to me is TS. thats just me though.

I could care less about my rank or how high or low it is, but I do think ranks are needed. Without ranks, every other game you'd play would be a quitfest and the quality of games would be terrible. You'd never get a good game in again if there were no ranks. I've still yet to play a good Big Team game since it went unranked.

Not really, I don't really care about the number, as long as I'm having fun but it does keep the competition.

Unranked games wouldn't be so bad if guests weren't allowed to play.

Rank is important, you need it to keep the competition. I can understand it's fun beating somebody who has barely played the game. But then you meet the "Xx" nerds. I call them... Then they just win.

Rank keeps the play fair. Though the rank reset did break this, it'll soon be back to normal.

I used to care. But now it doesn't matter. I just play to get better.

Ranks blam! me off like none other. I'd love to get my slayer as high as my skill level. But it just doesn't happen. I get matched with cheaters, people lacking essential skill, weak hosts with terrible connection, just to name a few things. H2 matchmaking is just flat out corrupt. Praise Allah for September 25th.

I enjoy matchmaking now, and since there really is no cheating I do find that ranks finally show a player's skill.
I like playing with people of similar skill so yea, rank matters in that aspect.

Rank matters alot to me....You guys can say it's just a number and doesn't mean anything but it's how people see you. Everyone is guilty of judging people by their rank. and that's how I'm judged.

I do care more about it than I should but we all do! So I think this vote is pretty pointless because we all care about it!

i am sparkytoastes, that's all you need to know.

i don't think so, because there are people that have a higher rank than me and i could totally own them. really.

well see, in this case, rank does mean something ... you need to up your rank, that way you are playing at your skill level. if your owning higher ranks, then you are too low in rank.

i'd like to get back up to my 28 ... but .. i don't play as much anymore.

I don't judge people by rank, I judge them by whether I like them as a person and whether they play good or bad. I treat the people on my friends list as people and not numbers.

BTW if you don't play ranked games because you care so much about your rank and play training gmaes instead or play less you skill level will usually decrease (uless you play custom games).

oh yeah.... but wouldn't that still mean that your not a high enough rank? i mean if you a 30 beating a 40 all the time, shouldn't you be a 40?

just asking, not ripping on you.

ok, all the gametypes are great but.. they get old, add some new stuff like oh, i dont know anything. I'd like to see actionsack, clanmatch, but make it so your rank in clanmatch doesnt show as your highest rank, because of noob circle boosting no life garbage punks that think ther good due to ther rank. in my opinion rank doesnt matter. Back to the play list, chill on the host games in rumble pit such as rockets, swords and shotguns. well thank for reading and hopefully we'll all see something new coming to the playlists.

There was a man from Allentown who fed his son to death.
He calmly watched him gorge himself until his final breath.
And there he stood, surprised and shocked above his tiny frame.
He said: "I bear no blame for this. I only share his name!"

I only play customs nowadays. Ranks don't matter.
