Ok, first, I would like to point out, not only am I lazy, but I am not going to read all of those posts because half of them are meaningless. Now that that has been said, I would like to point a few things out. Thus far, the UNSC ranking system of both the Marines and Navy has followed American ranking to the letter. The British Royal Marines might have a Sergeant, but do they also have a Staff Sergeant, Gunnery Sergeant, and Sergeant Major? The Royal Navy may have a Captain, but do they also Ensign, Commander, and Master Chief Petty Officer? Remember that both Microsoft and Bungie hail from America, as does Eric Nylund. I think it is safe to assume that they follow an American ranking structure. I am not saying to assume, just that it would be safe to do so. Next, I saw a tad bit of...I don't know what to call it...ignorance is probably a good word for it. The image of an American Sergeant by [[User:JohnSpartan117|JohnSpartan117]] is that of a American Marine Corps Sergeant. The other, by [[User:Climax Viod|Climax Viod]], is that of an American Army Sergeant. There is a difference. Finally, I believe the image on the page that we are debating about says "Insignia of a Sergeant in the Present Day USMC". What is the argument about? It says right there that it is '''not''' the rank that a Sergeant in Halo might wear, but rather than of an American Marine Corps Sergeant of 2006.--[[User:Rotaretilbo|Rotaretilbo]] 18:05, 05 December 2006

Could as easily be this British Sergeant Ranking Design

They used the British design!

There is just as much evidence that they used the British design as they used the American design. FANFICTION! -- Yamanba 22:48, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

There is no way this is wrong and you al know it!--Ryanngreenday 18:46, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
If it's so right then prove that they use the american design! Show me a picture, give me a quote ... Oh you have no evidence? That's what I thought. -- Yamanba 22:48, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Alright, I shall search! I will look all over the game, I will look all across the internet!--JohnSpartan117 23:16, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Please do and settle this debate -- Yamanba 11:12, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Look at the Characters many ranks with Sergeant in them the lossest being Sergeant its self sound fermiler doesn't it.--Ryanngreenday 09:47, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
lossest, fermiler? What are you saying??? That Sergeant is the loosest rank? I don't know what being "loose" has anything to do with this but many military forces around the world use the rank Sergeant and if it's mentioned in the Halo Universe I have no problem with it. BUT alot of these ranks are just made up with no Halo cannon confirmation. My problem with this article in particular is the FANFICTION Sergeant badge. -- Yamanba 11:12, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • In the books the Naval Officers and Marine Officers wear the same rank Insignias just look at Captain Keyes's Medals on this site and in the first strike book the master chief see First Lieutenant Elias Haverson rank Insignia and salutes him--Ryanngreenday 10:01, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Well we aren't talking about Medals are we. And you mean to tell me that you could "see" what the rank patch looked like by reading the text in the book? Or was there a picture? If there was a picture please show us. -- Yamanba 11:12, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
I beleive he is referring to this picture I just put up. The two bars represent a "Captain" and those Two bars are used by U.S. Forces. Im not sure do other countries use the same thing?
The various ribbons of Keyes.
--JohnSpartan117 22:56, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Those aren't the shoulder ignsigna that are in dispute in this article and yes other countries use those bars and the title "Captain" for that matter -- Yamanba 01:43, 26 October 2006 (UTC)



Let Climax Finnish this, this is the American Sergeant insignia looks the same because it basicly is inlike the German one, the Yanks goes up the Limies goes down. Leave it as it is because we British Rule --Climax Viod 11:29, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

God you people can't even get your stories straight about what is what in the American ranking system! THIS is exactly why we should erase all the ranks until Bungie releases a ranking system. So now we have two American badges: -- Yamanba 11:44, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

For Gods Sake, DO it how you like then, your like a bunch of Crying Babies some one from a different country will see it and think no that’s not right our rank looks like this. Just stick a insignia on it and be done --Climax Viod 11:56, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Halopedia IS NOT a place for guess work! We don't just say, "Oh this is pretty, this image is the new face for Master Chief!" We find a source, have evidence and then post it. -- Yamanba 22:31, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey Yamanba your the wrong person to try and get these deleted because you know nothing both of these Insignia are american Sergeants there are alot of ranks with Sergeant in the name most of witch are called Sergeant because its quicker to say.--Ryanngreenday 18:58, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

I know nothing about the Insignias of the UNSCDF, YOU know nothing about the UNSCDF ranks or insignias, only Bungie knows. Which is why the ranks that aren't mentioned in the Halo Universe should be deleted. It's like User:Dragonclaws says, "just because a user edits a page to say something, it doesn't mean that's the truth." Just because you add your FanFantasy to a page doesn't mean it's true. -- Yamanba 22:31, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • The symbol to the left is the United States Marine Corps sergeant rank. The symbol to the right is the United States Army sergeant rank. They are not the same, and the UMSC symbol is the more likely candidate. -ED 19:15, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Exactly, what I would of said, had I been here before ED. Well said ED. --JohnSpartan117 22:53, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Exactly as ED said, Halopedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information about the American Military
Exactly as Dragonclaws said, "In any case, just because a user edits a page to say something, it doesn't mean that's the truth"! A statement on Halopedia must have proof. WHERE is the picture of the shoulder patchs that confirm your FanFantasy Image of the Sergeant Stripes? -- Yamanba 01:43, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
