Really? We have several playlists dedicated to zero bloom, no AAs, and faster movement, all with a 1-50 ranking system?
MLG (No bloom as of today), Arena (ranks & limited AAs), Team Snipers (no bloom, no AAs), SWAT (no AAs), Anniversary lists (unnoticable bloom, no AAs in games which are voted to be as such, faster movement, faster kill times), etc. In addition to that, there are gamertags built around setting up customs to be exactly the settings people are looking for.
No, rankings don't exist in this game outside Arena, but so few people actually do play the one ranked list, that I don't think it honestly matters. If people really wanted a rank, they'd play Arena more.

Because it wasn't.
Except it was. Classic was limited bloom (NR spawns), faster movement, higher damage, classic maps. People still didn't care. MLG was added, people didn't care. Arena tweaked and retweaked, people didn't care.

Because the game actually is bad in it's current state, and has huge room and potential for improvement.
Except it was never bad. That's why it's still around a year later. People like to use lower pop as proof, but CoD is the dominant game right now, which has immense bloom, dropped shots, over powered kill streaks, etc. Reach isn't bad, its time is simply up.
