In the lower right corner of some of the rooms there's a red icon that says Ranked. Games played in rooms with this icon will affect your score, while games play in the unranked rooms (no icon) will not.

Player List
Beneath the room name is a Player List with three tabs.

Room
This tab shows all the players present in your current room.

Buddy
The Buddy tab shows a list of players you’ve personally selected as your buddies. It's useful for quickly finding your friends online. Each player is limited to eight buddies.

The Order tab shows all the other players online who are in your Order. Similar to the buddy list, it is useful for quickly finding members of your Order. For more information on forming or joining an Order, visit the bungie.net web site at http://www.bungie.net.
