Thousands of Hunters?
Millions of Scarabs?
Bring it on!

Grunt infantry: Private-Private 1st class
Grunt Specialist: Specialist-Corporal
Grunt Hero: Seargeant- Squad Officer (S.O. is just like a Warrant Officer)


Jackals/ Skirmishers

Jackal Infantry: Private-Seargeant
Jackal Hero: Seargeant
Skirmishers Infantry: Private-Warrant Officer
Skirmishers Specialists: Warrant Officer- Luitenent
Skirmishers Champion: Captain


Brutes

Brute Infantry: Private - Corporal
Brute Leader: Seargeant - Captain
Brute Hero: Major - General

Elites

Minor: -Private - Specialist
Ranger: -Corporal -Seargeant
Spec Ops: -Seargeant - Warrant Officer
Officer: Warrant Officer - Luitenent
Ultra: Luitenent - Captain
General: Captain - General
Zealot: Major - Colonel
Field Marshall: Colonel - Commander

Engineer: -Specialist

Drones

Bugger Infantry: Private
Bugger Specialist: Corporal
Bugger Leader: Seargeant

yea that sounds about right but were you going to include viechcles and their ranks like in the order of which they are strongest?

On a related note, ******'s mom has really nice boobs, and it doesn't take much booze or encouragement to get her to let the puppies out of the pen...if you know what I mean...

Elite ranger and spec ops are specialist jobs, and you probably wouldn't have to go through them to get higher.

The one and only

Right,those are more classifications and specialist ranks,elite-wise.Technically,the elites rank system goes:Minor Domo elite(blue armor),Major Domo elite(red armor),ultra(white armor),Zealot(gold armor,except in reach)Shipmaster,fleetmaster,supreme commander.Not counting specialist ranks,ranger,osoona,etc.

Have you seen my mind anywhere? I seem to have lost it...

0x0 x0x 0x0 000 000 x0x 000
x0x 0x0 0x0 0xx 000 0x0 000
x0x x0x x00 0xx 0x0 x0x 0x0

I have seen you future

The biggest problem with your ranks is that it fails to incorporate the Covenant caste system into the equation. For example, a minor elite would be about a Sergeant, and it would outrank all grunts and jackals/skirmishers.

Also, from this it seems that you don't completely understand how ranks work in a conventional military. Warrant Officer is a Navy rank that is equal to a Sergeant, not superior to one. This should not even show up in your comparison because these are infantry ranks, so in the human terms that you are using Warrant Officer would not even show up.

You made the same mistake with Commander, which is a navy rank equal to a LT. Colonel. Also, an elite general is comparable to a general, not a captain. A Field Marshall is comparable to a Field Marshall (Equivalent to a five star General).

Some of the elites you have listed as ranks are actually positions, as the Spec-Ops and Rangers are specializations, not ranks.

P.S. Squad Officer is not a rank, I assume you mean Lieutenant (An officer rank, unlike warrant officer which is enlisted).

I made Squad Officer up, dude. It's called an imagination.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

There are more than that.
