People still hold the objective to boost their kill to death ratios. People play Infection to bring that number up. There's plenty of stuff that goes on. The solution isn't to hide ranks, either in game or hiding it away on some obscure part of your stat tracking website, you need to design your system so that it is as resilient to metagaming as it possibly can be. I can't imagine that in the four years since Halo 3 that there hasn't been any innovations with ranking systems which could help prevent nefarious cheating.
