Because the ranking system in Reach is basically broken. All it does is provide you with aesthetics for your avatar in multiplayer. The only thing it shows you is how long someone's been playing. In 3, you had a better idea of how good your opponents and teammates were because of their ranks. You actually have to win games and play good to rank up. When I hit a new rank in Halo 3 I get really happy because I know I worked hard to get there. When I rank up in Reach, I just shrug it off and look at what new armor I unlocked.
That doesn't make it broken.
The current ranking system works exactly as intended, but like most games these days *cough*Saint's Row: The Third*cough* the depth and complexity from previous games has been dropped in favor of a much more streamlined system, that while perfectly functional and efficient, also manages to be free of almost all challenge (and charm).
