This morning while playing Halo Reach my rank was reduced Field Marshal to Recruit! Even Bungie.net still has me as General Grade 4! If this is the kind of service you can expect from 343 then I will not purchase Halo 4!!!
The Halo: Reach servers are down. Everybody is at recruit. The servers will be back up soon and you will have your rank back.

Everyone is being shown as a recruit. Simply looking at a few topics on this forum will show you that you are not the only one with these issues. Your rank and credits and armory are safe. The servers seem to be temporarily down for maintenance. Check back in a couple hours and your rank will be restored, and you can continue matchmaking.
EDIT: Aparently i am a minute late.
One more thing, bungie.net has stopped updating halo stats since 3-31-12. That’s why you’re a grade 4 on there.
looks like is time to play campaign again 
Wow. One network problem and you turn on 343 like they ruined your life. This happens from time to time. I would guess that every online service suffers down time at some point.
Just found this on another section… Down time is due to routine maintainence

This would explain why there’s nothing on the xbox live status page
Just FYI:
If you are RESET, you will show up as a “Recruit”, but you’re COMMENDATION % will stay the same as it was before.
THUS, if you are showing as a RECRUIT, and your COMMENDATION is 0% then it is a SERVER ISSUE.
