The Hushed Casket was founded in 2002 shortly after the launch of the XBOX console. Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

You guys are all new to this

You guys are all new to this game or something, because as someone put before, commander isn't the top rank. There are four grades of Colonel, then Brigadier, then General. If you don't belief me it's on bungie.net and I doubt they got it wrong. Second you people seem to have trouble seperating rank from trueskill rating... Theres a big difference.

Your rank, sargent for example, is determined from experience and has nothing to do with your skill. It's like an rpg game, the more people you kill the more levels ( or in this case ranks ) you go up.

Trueskill goes up and down according to you skill in relation to the other players you play with. If you do great and completely own in a game, youll probably be moved up higher in the trueskill rank so youll encounter people with skills similar to your own. If you do crappy, you get lower.

Ranking and trueskills have nothing to do with each other. There could be a Grade 4 General with skills equivalent to someone who just started playing. How? Because trueskill and rank have absolutely nothing to do with each other. Rank shows your time spent, trueskill shows your amount of skill SHOWN IN that time spend. I worded all that as simply as possible. See you in the field n00bz >=)
