The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

The problem isn't ranks, dumbass. People have been finding ways to compare their e-peens since Reach's outset. Whether it be by KD, W/L, HaloCharts, HaloTracker, or winstreaks people find a way.
They use all those other things because there's no definitive rank that actually shows who is better. A 1-50 system did that.
Whenever something gets fixed, people ignore the change and say something else is the huge problem of Reach. It used to be that AAs, movement speed, and damage sucked. Team Classic/MLG were made. Then it was bloom. Then the TU playlist was made, as were the anniversary playlists. Now it's rank. It doesn't matter what's fixed because some new vocal minority will always emerge. If rank IS added, then people will just say the system sucks and more people will leave because search times will become unbarable. Plus, the maps (or something else) will become the next "problem."
All of those problems have been widely and openly complained about basically since the start of the game's lifetime. Bloom, AAs, terrible maps, a lack of a decent ranking system, the awful matchmaking system; they've all been big problems the entire time and they're just slowly being fixed one at a time. And the fixes aren't even always good fixes, which is why many people are unhappy.
Also, any reason I can't count SWAT or Snipes? Both were RANKED playlists back in H3. People apparently do take them quite seriously.
So what if they were ranked playlists in H3? They aren't here, and nobody even really took them seriously back then, either. If you think that Snipers and SWAT are serious, competitive playlists then you have a problem that I cannot help you with here.
