A '''clan''' is an organized group of players that band together for various reasons. Some battle other focused clans in an all-out clan war ("[[clanmatch]]" in [[matchmaking]]) in team games and for practice. Other clans consist of members who share a common interest, such as [[machinima]] production or [[Forging]].
'''Clans''' are formalized and organized (although some only very loosely) groups that players can join for purposes of battling other focused clans in an all out clan war (clanmatch in [[matchmaking]]) in team games and for practice. Clans exist in all three of the ''Halo'' games, but are becoming less prevalent in the older ones, especially ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', in which they are somewhat hard to find. ''[[Halo 2]]'' is the only ''Halo'' game which allows actual clans that appear as a list, or built in option.


==Overview==
''Halo 2'' has a clan system that allows you to hold up to 100 people. In ''Halo 2'', any given gamertag may only belong to one clan at a time.
Clans are primarily social structures and as such, they exist in all three of the ''Halo'' [[first-person shooter]]s. They are becoming less prevalent in the older games, particularly ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. In [[Halo Custom Edition]], however, clans are still easy to find; they host multiple dedicated servers in an effort to provide places for people to play -- and, of course, to boost their "publicity".


''[[Halo 2]]'' is the only ''Halo'' game to explicitly support clans as a built-in option; its clan system allows a clan to hold up to 100 people. A [[multiplayer emblems|gamertag]] may only belong to one clan at a time.
There are no clans in ''[[Halo 3]]'' but people with the same emblem usually say they are in a clan. However, people often organize clans externally, via the use of websites and such, but these clans are usually the much larger communities consisting of four thousand members or more. Examples of these include KSI and LCU, the two largest ''Halo 3'' gaming communities in the world. These are often created for competitive reasons, and are highly devoted due to the amount of effort it takes to effectively organize one. This kind of close devotion includes keeping a close eye on where the members are and what they are doing, holding meetings with the members, raising money to fund the community and the websites, and constantly recruiting more and more members every day.  


There is no built-in clan ladder on ''[[Halo 3]]''. This has led to the development of numerous informal ways to identify with a clan; clan members often share the same [[emblem]] or service tag. Clans organize externally, coordinating and recruiting on websites and [[Bungie.net]]. The much larger communities of gamers are sometimes devoted to other games in addition to ''Halo''; they also tend to be more competitive. Examples include [[Major League Gaming]] and LCU, the two largest ''Halo 3'' gaming communities in the world. To survive, such clans tend to keep a close eye on their members' gaming activities; hold meetings; raise money to fund the community and the websites; and constantly recruit in an effort to maintain the clan's popularity and longevity.
Also some of the bigger communities, like LCU, have grown into businesses by selling clan merchandise, getting sponsors and distributing products of other retailers or large corporations such as Microsoft and Bungie Studios.


==In ''Halo 2''==
==Ranking System==
The ''Halo 2'' clan system has a ranking system that consists of the following:
