Ranks for Spartans would probably be best like Halo 3 ranks. Colonel, Captain, Brigadier, etc. But if you play as an Elite (if you can in Halo: Reach) ranks should be more like the official Covenant Elite ranks. Minor, Major (Domo), Ultra, Zealot, Imperial Admiral, etc. I mean how can an alien from outer space be a Gunnery Sergeant! It is not very legitimate. Well you probably won't be able to have an Arbiter rank or anything too special. If you decide to be a Spartan when you are a level higher for your Elite character the equal rank for Spartan will be promoted.

Example 1: 5 Star General = Councilor
Example 2: Sergeant = Major (Domo)

Sounds good, but what if they add Brutes as the third playable race(I have a good feeling there will be a third playable for Halo:Reach), how'd you want to work that one?

Maybe I'll add that too if I keep getting that question.

It sounds interesting. But other than the name, what about the symbol? I mean, that's what people really see all the time. IMO, the name isn't as big of a deal as the symbol. Do you know the Elite symbols or would someone have to make them up?

I bet Bungie would have that job, but a few creations from the armor seen on the elites in the Halo games might lead to a rank.

Yeah what about Brutes? I have a good feeling they will be playable in matchmaking. Other than that I think it's a great idea.

Brutes have ranks too.
Jiralhanae Military Ranks

Chieftains=Regular Chieftain, War Chieftain, Chieftain of the Jiralhanae

Captains =Captain,Captain Major, Captain Ultra

Specialists=Stalker, Jump Pack, Bodyguard

Infantry=Minor, Major, Ultra

Other=Honor Guards

It's just Elites are more likely to be in the game.

The Brutes can have more tribal-like ranks. like Warlords, Chieftains, etc.

Once upon a time there was a blip, then there were two blips, and then three, then came halozfather...........1 blip, 2 blip, 3 blip....gone!

It would be a great change to the current ranking system, and it would give a type of difference and reward for those who do play as elites, as few as they are now.

good idear

You could add ranks like Admiral, Admiral of the fleet (seeing as how halo's story is based on a Space navy.

And for elites you could have Shipmaster.

Firstly, they should definately add different ranks for Elites. It would be a nice little detail to add to the game.

Secondly, they're not going to make Brutes playable in multiplayer. The Brutes are just way too big. If you thought the whining about the Elites' hitboxes was bad, just imagine the nerdy screams if people had to play against Brutes in matchmaking. The forums would be unusable.

This sounds like a good and practical idea.

  • 10.15.2009 5:14 AM PDT

I want my rank to show up on my character. Probably on the shoulder they left open in Halo 3.

I think its good but you have the Brute problem if they become playable.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

There's not enough Elite ranks now so a lot of new ones would need to be made, but it would definitely make the game more enjoyable/immersive.

Ever since Halo 3 I wondered why elites got spartan ranks, so yeah I love the idea. I never understood why bungie did not put this in halo 3, their were people asking for this in the halo 3 beta forum....
