The ever popular theme here at Loot Ninja is us playing the shit out of Halo: Reach and bringing you guys some good info on all the ins, outs, and what-have-you’s. One of my gripes with the new Halo: Reach stat page is that the rankings are not there. Before in Halo 3, it was clearly visible to what the requirements were for each rank as well as Skill. Now that Skill has been dropped and they have adapted the aggregate point total for rankings, after the jump is every point requirement for every rank up to Colonel. We will bring you the higher ranks as they are made available.
[UPDATE 10/3/2010 - All rankings now available and we've updated the rankings list below.]

Thanks so much for sharing this!
I've been trying to find the ranking system everywhere, and so far this has been the most informative post I've found ^_^
I'm moving up I do like how they combined everything so your whole career is one score. Thanks for posting this it's good to know.
It says in the official halo reach signature series guide "the amount of credits requierd for a promotion from commander grade 3 to colonel is more than the total number of credits for your first eight promotions!"
[...] Through Loot Ninja [...]
definatly the best brekdown ive seen thanks bro
the rank after colonel is not general, i have just reached the rank of lt colonel and it is telling me i need to reach the lvl of commander in order to purchase some things. so commander is what i believe is after colonel. and feel free to send more questions to my gamertag NightmareItachi
Dude you LT. Colonel not Colonel duh
bro its LT. Colonel then its commander then after commander its COLONEL
Tard!
dude, it’s lt colonel, commander, then colonel.
the rank after colonel is not general, i do believe it is commander, i have just reached the rank of lt colonel and have unlocked things that require you to be the rank of commander in order to purchase, any questions please refer to my gamertag NightmareItachi
Actually, there are not ranks after Lt. Colonel at this point. Bungie has confirmed that Lt. Colonel is the current rank cap for Halo: Reach. They'll be raising the level cap eventually, but for you, no can't get any higher.
Actually my brother became a Commander and we have no Xbox live and no update.
I know commander is after lt. colonel, then its colonel. from there im not sure until the last 2 ranks : reclaimer, than Inheritor. http://www.se7ensins.com/forums/topic/313258-what... paste with proof of commander and what looks like a very alike emblem to lt.colonel.
what the fu- BOOOOOOM!!!
Your Wrong.
Warrant Officer Grade 3 Takes WAY more than 33,000.
I just got 20,000 CR in Commendations and Challenges, and it didn’t even get me a 4th of the way to Captain. So much Bullshit how long it takes.
Did you even read it it says 33,000 to get to warrant officer grade 3 then 66,000 more points to get to captain
^hahahhahh.
this is sooo gay they need to bring the cap up now. its such a poor way to manage a game and levels

Good call! We’ve verified all of these with Bungie and updated the list!
Wait so it takes less to get from captain to captain grade 1 than warrant officer grade 3 to captain?
Captain—> Captain Grade 1 - 23,000 cR
Warrant Officer Grade 3—> Captain - 66,000 cR
To answer your question, yes, it takes less. Warrant Officer Grade 3 is a hump rank, it’s implemented as a measure to differentiate the type of player between a Captain and the lesser ranked (Warrant Officer and below), just like it takes more to get from Captain Grade 3 to Major than it does to get from Major to Major Grade 1.
It’s there to make it a challenge, to make you feel rewarded when you rank up from a Grade 3 to a new rank. Comprende?
Also, the reason for captain is so hard to work for is because it is also an achievement.
I’d like to know when the level cap is going to be released so i can trudge further down this road of insanity . I’ve made the long haul to Lt. Colonel 3rd class the hard & honest way , only to be met with a road block . a level cap . Why ? These ranks really only show your dedication or foolishness . It does not show your true skill .( EXAMPLE : i understand that a guy playing Modern Warfare is atempting to Prestieage without killing anyone ) Bungie is demoting , if you will Cheater’s . Well I have not cheated in any deliberate way yet they are cheating me of my XP as i continue to play towards a higher goal . are they going to give me my back XP when they release the level cap ? I think NOT . So right now I’m just playing to earn credits for things i can’t get . At least you do get something for the climb in this game , unlike Gears of War . And Borderlands ? Who’s idea was it to raise a level cap , tell everyone and then not release it with the download ? Seriously are they tring to piss us off ? Don’t they want us to play there games . Oh and just to state things - I’m laid off right now and do have all day to play , but what ? and Why ?
acculay they do give you you xp back and it counts toward your next promotion
all you faggots need to get a real life
Really? I am pretty sure all of us dont have lives right? We are not all breathing right now, and need food and water to stay alive. By staying alive you indeed have a ‘life” you jackass.
why don’t you fuck off and go away if your’e only here to show off and slag people off, you need to get a life coz we’re here to offer each other help and advice while you’re here to show off and try to prove to your boyfriend how big and clever you are why don’t you fuck off and play with your lego and leave the forums to the grownups. now fuck off and go away you pussy
What date will the other ranks realise?
they are doing a challenge reward system
the more daily and weekley challeges we do the closer we will get to more ranks they are going to do this feeding system to get us to do challenges and honestly i dont think its a bad idea i mean i do challenges anyways to credit me up im about to be captian and want to save my credits for when we find out when security comes out.
Can someone answer my question
Hey Nigger jones no need to act so sadley!
yes, carrots.
Ok enough with the jerry springer/oprah stuff can someone please tell me
@ Carrots:
Bungie said has not said yet. But… there is a decent sized patch scheduled for today.
This is what is scheduled:
http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=28998
As far as the level cap… I would not hold your breath. With all the data resets, a lot of the Grade 3 Lt Col cheated so don’t expect a boost just yet.
FULL Bungie Patch for today with ALL Updates.

K thanks
K thanks I just got to captain
I just figured out something, while I was playing reach, I’m an Lieutenant Colonel Grade 3 and it says Max Rank. What the hell!?
Although when I could connect to my internet (It is crap) It said I was a Commander, when is Bungie going to sort this problem out, so then the rest of the ranks will be avaliable, because there’s a helmet, I’m dying for but I need to be commander online
Wow that list is just sick
It took a while for me to earn 325,000 credits or Major rank @ about 20 hours per week
after i get to Lt. Colonel i will keep it @ 8 hours a week or less
i will get to 20,000,000 credits by end of 2015
I’m getting to commander for the Eva (c) helmet
WOO major!
only 33 more ranks
Lol idc about getting any higher to commander, I want my helmet and then I will just mess around and actually play the game instead of grinding credits
Lol u mad?
thank you for the ranking system
what is the fastest way to rank up in reach?
am at major grade 3 so hopefully all this talk about ranking system screw ups will get fixed so a would keep on ranking up and the best way to earn credits fast in doing firefight matchmakeing yourself for the best score playing gruntpocalpse for headshots or sniper attack plus you get infinite ammo in sniper attack if you want your commendatios faster kill a grunt that has a fuel rod cannon then blast every enemys you see in sniper attack a can rank up to grade 1 to grade 2 in a day sumtimes a can get to the 3rd grade on the same day then the next day a can get to the next rank hope a help you guys gamer tag TDA spectre thats me
I play firefight a lot u get a good amount of credits
“It’s there to make it a challenge, to make you feel rewarded when you rank up from a Grade 3 to a new rank.”
Rewarding? that makes me laugh. all you have to do is play. aslong as you play enough games you’ll go up. It’s the most unrewarding game since call of duty. Even arena is pointless. you have to wait 10 days to get a division. i dont have the time or patience to play 10 days consecutively. I probably wouldn’t get a division until the end of the 30 days.
Personally, I believe dropping their global ranking system. ie, needing a level 50 to reach general was a big mistake. the new ranking system might aswell be a counting clock that never stops. yawn yawn yawn.
i got to the rank of lt.colonal and now it says i have reached the max rank even though i can see the armour for the rank of commander :/ it does not make sense to me can someone help please
lt.colonal grade 3 sorry
I am currently a LT. colnl grade three and th the end of my experience bar it says max rank why is this and will i be able to level up again?
yes that is just the max rank for this time.
Theres a level cap and it will probably be lifted a little past halloween probably, I heard somewhere that the xp u get now goes to the next level but I wouldn’t count on it
the cr you score does count. keep building them up and when the cap is released you will upgrade to the appropriate level. it says in the bungie update.
ah thanks i was wondering why i could not level up no more so all the credits i get before this update will count and antomatically put me up to the appropiate level?
Yes
okay thanks mate was worried when it said i could no longer level up lol
Thanks for the list. A lot of u have been sayin tht bungie will release a higher rank cap but does anyone actually know when they’re going to?
Well hopefully they give enough time for me to get lt colonel grade 3 first im captain grade 3 now then ill be caight up before every1 passes me again
I can’t help but wonder… what kind of armor we will get at ‘Forerunner’
When will the halo reach rank Commander be released for matchmaking ?
Every single credit you get counts towards higher ranks. Meaning, you can get over Lt. colonel grade 3, you just can’t see it yet.
So it doesn’t matter when they update it, you’ll just jump to the rank you’re supposed to be.
Every 1 here is pretty stupid for believing that post its a fact that Colonel is after Lt. Colonel then comander cuz u can see stuff that require Colonel when u become a captain then when u reach Lt. Colonel (which i have) u can see stuff for comander such as carters and emiles helmet and the pilot helmet ( aka the one u can eventually get the happy halloween thing)
dude its been aproved by bungie that commander is after colonel so shut up dumbass
Jeremy is a dumbass man.
oh and i almost forgot… bungie will not be adding all those ranks- colonel, comander, general and inheritor for sure most likely a few more like brigadier porbly and 1 or 2 new ones. Also there is no way in hell that it will take 20 million creds to reach max rank. It will be no more than 5 mill and even that is pushing it
