I did, and im close to thinking it was for absolutely nothing, i did a few big team battle games and the guy on my team cheated when he grabbed the flag, but i told everybody to feedback him for cheating because we could have scored it legitimately, because i had a sniper rifle and i dont miss twice. but an angry mob called the blue team feedbacked EVERYONE on my team for cheating. if someone cheats and uses standby, then just send feedback on that one player, you'll know who it is, because they will have scored for that round.

Good. Most likely because you were doing one of the following: Cheating, network-exploiting, cursing, swearing, threatening or abusing other players. The points below cover most of the stuff Xbox Live will ban or suspend people for and frankly, you know who you are. If you've been suspended temporarily, with any luck, you might think twice about cheating again.


Today, we are dropping the ban hammer on a significant number of cheaters. That number is thousands, not dozens or hundreds. Some of them will receive a short suspension of their service; others will be advised of more serious measures. In every instance, the Xbox Live team has gone to great lengths to prove, where possible, severe terms of use violations. If you have been banned, you have not been banned for anything minor, like flag bouncing, or glitch-grabbing an object. If you've been banned or suspended, there's a very good chance you know what you were doing was wrong and that you did it multiple times.

I got banned as well and the funny thing is three of my buddies did too. Not only did we not cheat, swear, curse, yell or anything else but we get cheated on a regular basis. There was a player in our party who dummied but we didnt do it, tell him to do it, or anything along those lines and nothing happened to him! Im not gamers mommy and i cant control if they cheat so bungie stop punishing your paying customers that play fair for fun. I dont want cheaters either and u probably get it right most the time but please find a way to get it right everytime.

They don't care what you do in custom games.

i DID gfet suspended from xbox live then, but it wasnt for something that I MYSELF did, it was for something that a random player i was stuck with in big team battle, so DONT blame me for being good, and wanting to take my place because, YOU the designer of the "greatest" game of all time released it with HUGE bugs in it. so dont blame me for your problems, Mr. O'Conner, you made the defective product, and now there are 2x as many unsatisfied customers, ESPECIALLY when you didnt have everything that we were expecting from the E3 demo. back on more important matters: I MYSELF never cheat, i have a modem incapable of standby (speedstream5100 from SBC) and ALL of my characters are spartans so it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to dummy glitch. now then, i havew cheated ONLY once, my team mate used standby after i gave him the green light when the enemy team was using the dummy glitch, and whats more is that you ban the entire team that the cheater is with, not the cheater himself, even if they arent in the same party, so dont act like your the hammer of justice. and i bet you if i were to post up another forum about innocent people being banned from live when cheaters, standbyers, and glitchers get by, i can almost guarantee you that for every cheater you DO ban, 3 innocents go with him or her. As for the other reasons as to why i could be banned from live, i say the truth when i say this: i only yell curse and swear at CHEATERS.
