i know why Dinosaurs became extinct its because they learned to suck their own -blam!-

I remember seeing these symbols when i played way back but never got round to figuring out what they were. Sooooo, what are they and are they harder to attain than brigadier and general in halo 3? i seem to remember halo 2 being a lot more difficult than halo 3.

They were (are) the upper level ranks in Halo 2 ranked matchmaking.
If I remember correctly:

44 is a Crescent Moon
45 is a Half Moon
46 is a Full Moon
47 is a Sun
48 is an Eclipsed Sun
49 is a Comet
50 is a Halo Ring

Please correct me if I am mistaken on any of these.

Thanks mate that clears it up perfectly! I wish they kept them. it adds a bit more individuality to the ranks rather than having an eagle from 45-49!

No problem! Yes, I agree. The images for the upper ranks were rather 1337.
I made one mistake though. The eclipsed sun is level 47 while the full sun is level 48. I had them reversed in my list.

Listen to SJ.

And getting to any of those ranks legit would make you probably one of the best halo 2 players ever. It was ridiculous to get past a 32 or so.

I personally like the 32, 34, and 37. A 47 would be nice, but ranks lie on thin ice at that level. It can take up to 5 wins to make up for 1 loss.
