*'''Global ranks''' are the sum total of the player's EXP awarded from all playlists, and additionally require the player to hit certain skill rank thresholds in any playlist (the highest available value is used) to unlock. Global ranks are displayed on the player's service record in-game and on [[Bungie.net]]. As such, a player can have 5,000 EXP overall but may not be awarded the rank of General unless they also have 50EXP in at least one playlist. If a player's EXP and skill values are right, players are able to "skip" global ranks; this may occur due to a player having the necessary EXP to level up, but not having the skill requirement.

*'''Playlist ranks''' are a system introduced in [[Halo 3 Title Updates|Title Update 2]], that allow for players to track their individual progression within a playlist. Playlist ranks are the sum total of the EXP awarded to the player in a given playlist, and are unique to that playlist. As such, a player can be a Sergeant in one playlist and a General in another; playlist ratings do not have any skill requirements, and are available for both social and ranked playlists.{{Ref/Site|Id=TU2|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=14994|SiteName=Bungie.net|PageName=Bungie Weekly Update: 8/01/08|Detail=Title Update 2 and Playlist Ratings explained}}

The EXP ranks are military ranks awarded to players as they hit new EXP thresholds. There are thirteen ranks total, each divided into 1-4 "Grades" - with all ranks after Gunnery Sergeant having 4 grades. Each rank's fourth grade has a unique name. For global ratings, EXP ranks are divided into two classes; Enlisted and Officer. Enlisted ranks do not have any skill threshold required to achieve them, while Officer (starting with Lieutenant) require a player to have skill and the necessary EXP value to achieve; as such, the Enlisted and Officer difference does not have any practical bearing on playlist ratings.{{Ref/Site|Id=ServiceRecord|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/Stats/Halo3/RankHistory.aspx?player=Fluffball%20Gato|SiteName=Bungie.net|PageName=Halo 3 Rank History|Detail=Fluffball Gato's service record}}
