-blam!- YOU SHISKA YOU PRICK!

Wow clever use of words.....way to endear the Bungie staff to your cause. Bottom line, don't cheat and you won't incur the wrath of the banhammer.


Some people just don't take getting banned well.

Or this person knew Shishka in elementry school and is still mad about Shishka beating him up and taking his pudding in 3rd grade.

The ban isn't about de-ranking. It's about habitual quitting and harming others MM experience. When you quit that much, other people suffer, especially in team games.
Meh, I'm not hindering there ability to play and very few people take Objective seriously.
I guess I'll stop playing the game then if that's what they want, no need to argue or flame. What's done is done.

You're family settings on your xbox are on. Go into your dashboard, adjust your settings, and you will be good to go.

Well nobody will believe me but i got banned because the banhammer thought i was boosting or whatever. I was sittign there playing with some guests and i say to them "ok guys, this is matchmaking, don't mess around." which instantly makes them get up and start fighting each other for the ENTIRE flipping game...next game i say "you guys gunna play or what?" they go "yeah sorry" and then start fighting again when we get into it. This carried on for about 5 games...now the Banhammer must think i had inactive controllers because i got XP banned and so did my friend in the party with me.

As i said, nobody will believe me but oh well, people should be more trusting...

I don't really care about the XP that i have lost (potential XP, that is)...i'm just upset that i now can't get Recon later this year and it's all because of my retarded friends. Let's just say i'm never playing Halo with THEM again.

Oh and if Shiska or anyone in their holy forgivfulness could just make it so that i can get Recon with ODST later this year then i would be forever grateful. Don't think that's gunna work but was worth a try :(

Just a quick question, me and my friend have both been EXP banned, yes, we were boosting acheivements on our other tags. Here is the thing, it has been over two weeks, he is unbanned but I am not. Why is this?

You were playing with inactive guests, boosting in a range of games.....take a look:

Oddball Boosting
Boosting in King of the Hill
Braaaaaaaaaains
Juggernaut
Save One Bullet

You went in with inactive guests, quitted out of some matches, as there are more I haven't listed and generally broke the TOS.

The ban is well and truly deserved on this one as you had inactive guests and seeing as you are responsible for your Gamertag and account then it only confirms that the ban is 100% accurate.

Ok, so no trying to get Two for One or anything like that? Gotcha. But, in Team doubles, is it cheating for your teammates help getting Alas Poor Yorick? Cuz they are on your side...?

  • 04.28.2009 4:00 AM PDT

I think you should message that user if you want to talk to them, halo3hobo.

If it means not getting the skull through legit methods in anyway, shape or form of play then yes.

Your ban might have been for a longer duration or had a different start date. Only people that know are Bungie

According to your stats you have accumulated -29 EXP penalties over a course of a fairly longish period. I can suggest that the quitting was the cause. I found about 4 or 5 where you had DNF, perhaps might be worth checking your connection, if its not that then I suggest not quitting (if that is the cause)

Quitting

if i remember correctly, i backed out because my friend that i was playing with got disconnected and there's no point sittign in a match with guests that aren't even playing otherwise people accuse you of exp boosting or whatever.

Ok that can possibly account for 1 of the iffy games I have found, but what about the boosting in the other matches? All the players remained to the end so they clearly didn't disconnect....

Can i ask; did you actually read what i posted?

I explained that my guests SAID they were going to play then the moment we got into a game they would sod off. I guess they thought it was funny to annoy me and, eventually, get me exp banned and Recon banned. There wasn't much i could do about them sodding off at the start of a game except quit which would've led peopel to believe i was quitting to exp boost or whatever so i just stayed in the game and did all that i oculd do which was kill my guests.

If your story is even true, it doesn't matter. Boosting is boosting. You should have stopped playing with them if they truly weren't playing.

Well what was i supposed to do, just sit there and do nothing? I did try to refrain from killing my guests but when you've only got 2 people playing against you it tends to get a bit boring. Oh and yes i DID get the Zombie achievements when my guests weren't playing but i was trying to kill time.

It was wrong. You got your achievements. Just don't do it again. Lesson learned!

I know I learned from your mistake. Thanks to you, I will never have retarded friends who all of a sudden stop playing a video game to play footise or whatever lmao.

No, lesson NOT learned because i now can't get Recon with Halo 3:ODST. It's not fair that i should suffer because my friends are harsh. But anyway, time for someone else to get flamed for telling the truth.

I don't believe Bungie has said weather or not people who've gotten EXP bans would be able to get Recon through the Vidmasters. Personally to me it wouldn't make a lot of sense to deny people who get all the Vidmasters.

  • 04.28.2009 10:56 AM PDT

the rules about not getting recon only aplied when bungie was the only one that could hand it out. if you get all the vidmasters then you WILL be able to still get recon

I don't know how vaild it is (I just did a Bungie.net Search):

What gets you BANNED from Recon:

- Being caught using any of the standard methods of cheating.
- Getting a voice ban in matchmaking.
- Getting an upload ban for hosting inappropriate content in your file share.
- Being caught in your filthy lies like the shell of a human being you (hypothetically) are.



Being caught using any of the standard methods of cheating

I don't know if that still holds, but good luck my friend.

You have a twisted sense of flaming. It's perfectly fair that you get banned from Recon (if that is the case). You broke rules, trying to pass blame on your so called friends is not a valid excuse. It is your gamertag and your responsiblity. You should have stopped playing with your friends if they obviously had no interest playing anymore. If you weren't confident that they were going to play put them in a custom game.

EDIT: Oh Akatsuki good find! I've been looking for that link!
