Since its launch, players have been flying up the Halo: Reach ranks, earning credits by the thousands. But for those of you who feel like they are making a serious dent in their earnings, I have bad news for you. Posted on the Halo Wiki, is a complete list of every rank gamers can attain along with the associated symbol and credit amount required.

Surprisingly, Halo: Reach borrows much of its ranking system from the Army, even though the infamous Master Chief is a Navy enlisted rank. After the standard Army ranks are grades created specifically for the Halo universe. Prepare yourself gamers, because you are going to be in for a long haul if you want to make the rank of Inheritor. We know this won't discourage true Halo addicts, who are a hearty and dedicated folk.

I am sure that the higher ranks seem a bit intimidating, but hopefully, as Bungie keeps the daily challenges coming, there will be plenty of ways to continuously rank up. Both the daily and weekly challenges have been a great way for Reach players to partake in all of the robust play experiences the game has to offer. If Bungie notices that gamers have been neglecting a certain game mode, the challenges also allow them to entice players away from the more popular modes.

Like most gamers who love ranking up, learning that it is going to be a long trek to the top is a bit disappointing. Sure, the incentives to rank up are purely cosmetic changes to one’s own Noble Team member, but no matter what carrot you dangle in front of my face I am going to want all of it. Inheritor, here I come.

So Ranters, what rank are you currently at and which one do you have your sights set on?

Halo: Reach is available now exclusively for the Xbox 360.
