    I didnt think it was really rank but more job title.

    Metro cops (Public Safety Police) or whatever they are called
    Combine Infantry Including specialised snipers
    Combine Special Operations, the guys in white

    stunstick = human volunteer (like barney)
    smg = general combine police
    pulse rifle = general infantry
    white suit combine = elite infantry /special ops
    shotgun = squad support

    thats what i think the ranks are

    I think you're overanalzying.

    Stunstick combine = Combine to harrass you until you pick up a pistol.
    Pistol combine = Combine to harrass you after you pick up a pistol, but before you get an SMG.
    SMG Combine = Combine to give you SMG ammo. ;D
    Shotgun Combine = Combine to give you ammo since you're running low from zombiefest in Ravenholm
    Pulse Rifle Combine = Combine to give you the pulse rifle...

    I'm sure you caught the pattern here. :P

    I think "crap enemy that shouldn't be in the game" is closer to the truth.

    Well, you dont want to fight Metro Cops in the Citidel, now do you? So they have to have harder enemies..

    Metrocops=human volunteers, they get pistols or stunsticks and in some cases SMGs.
    Combine Soldier=Cybernetically altered(as seen on the...people, in Nova Prospekt. Those aren't victims.), and have tougher armour, usually grey. They get SMGs, shotguns, and the AR2.
    Elite Solder=The best of the combine soldiers, with additional armour(though the vader-gun doesn't care). Always have AR2, but also gets some secondary fire ammo.
