I'd personally prefer it to be where you can play both ranked and unranked games. All tournament and clan battles will be ranked, while games such as CTF with a buncha vehicles and noobs isn't ranked. I'd hate to know I had awesome stats only to go play a game with 16 ppl and end up on a crap team and lose to some crappy players. I hope all of XBox Live isn't about joining host and playing like on Halo PC, I hope it'll be more tournament and clan based, with servers fast enough to support hundreds upon hundreds of 4v4 and 2v2 games going simultaneously. I personally dread playing 8v8 because when it goes beyond 4 teamwork matters less, skill matters less, and the game experience begins to suck. I hope there is many upon many of stats for each gametype, to really seperate the great from the good and the noob from the totally sucky noob.
Also.. stats will be stored for each player, games won and lost, so forth. However your ranking will be determined by how good the other team you play is, how high they are ranked. That way if you play someone who is terrible and has a very very low ranking you will more than likely not move up in rank. I also believe there will be clan stats as well.
