I've been EXP banned from my own wrongdoing but I was wondering: if I'm banned does it negate me being able to play certain maps/gametypes? Logic would tell me no as I've still been playing on Assembly (WAY too much btw) and Sandbox but I'm trying to get the Post Mortem achievement and every time Orbital comes up in Slayer it immediately switches to a different map before the veto countdown even begins, this has happened at least the last 10 times Orbital has come up. I get it in Rumble Pit for infection but I'm the Zombie all 3 rounds EVERY TIME. So again just wondering if this ban is messing with me playing certain Orbital gametypes.

People shouldn't get banned for exp boosting, it's harmless.
Focus on actual cheating.

How is exp boosting harmless and what is the other forms of cheating?

  • 10.15.2009 3:47 PM PDT

You shouldn't boost cause you know you will get banned so why do you do it .Plus take your time recon ain't going anywhere

i was wondering,a message says i got banned from getting exp for two weeks, but it keeps popping up over and over, does that mean that the banning keeps going on and on? or is it just reminding me that i got banned?

- All EXP bans given out so far are considered "first offense" bans. Two weeks is the duration for a first offense. The degree and duration of ban increases if you're caught cheating again.

I have a negative exp account and I want to play on it, it's already had it's " first offense ", when it gets unbanned, am I aloud to play on it like a regular account and not risk being banned?

Just out of curiosity? for what reason can someone be banned for quitting out of multiple games? if Bungie did not want this to happen maybe the option to :leave game: should be removed. The reason I ask is that me and a friend were recently banned for quitting out of about 15 straight games of doubles, I understand deranking and boosters but who is this hurting? the other team gets a win and we get a loss nothing wrong with that. The last thing I want to say is that we all purchased the game, we purchased the maps, we all love the game, souldnt we be able to play it the way we want to? I'm perfectly ok with the 2 week exp ban i'm only looking for answers, thanks for a great game Bungie <3

  • 10.27.2009 12:17 AM PDT

how can you ban someone for taking a full party into a playlist because they are recieving medals, kills and achievment? if you don't want this to happen DON'T MAKE ie SOCIAL SLAYER HAVE A MAX PARTY OF 10!!!! how stupid can you be for banning someone because they did that?[your answer goes here]..so i guess the next time i have a halo party i shouldnt take me and 9 other of friends into a social slayer game which is allowed by Bungie or i might get banned. Stupid!

Hey Ive been banned for one month from playing matchmaking from this account and on my console. Every site Ive been to has said that this happens for being caught modding. Now I have never modded In my life, and the last thing memorable I did before the ban was get 20 wins on my 50 in swat, with a commander who I think rapes. His account is not a booster and is legit. I have not boosted on any account In at least a year and I repeat -- never have modded--

If you've been EXP banned, and you believe yourself to be innocent, post here. But first, let's get some nonsense out of the way:

- If you're cheating to get Achievements, you're still cheating. The banhammer is aimed at the behavior, not the intent. "I was just trying to get Yorick" won't get you out of the EXP ban.
- No, people aren't getting banned just because they play a lot with their friends. There's a difference between boosting and actually playing with friends, and we can tell the difference.
- If you haven't been banned, you won't see a message that says you have. Be careful that you did not confuse what we call the "nag message" that we introduced after TU2 with a ban message. Don't try to stir people up by claiming to be unjustly banned when you are not.
- All EXP bans given out so far are considered "first offense" bans. Two weeks is the duration for a first offense. The degree and duration of ban increases if you're caught cheating again.
- As is said on http://www.bungie.net/ban, it is not our problem if it is your brother, cousin, best friend, mom, dad, girlfriend, boyfriend, or kitten that got your console banned. If it turns out that your gamertag is suffering from their wrongdoing, that is an issue you'll have to take up with them.
- If you are "not sure" if you've been banned, then you haven't been. People who get banned are notified very clearly.

That should cover it. Post away! Keep it civil. People who get belligerent about their ban, especially when it's justified, are just going to get themselves in more trouble.

[Edit] One other thing: This is now the ONLY thread for discussion on EXP bans. Any new threads created to argue a ban will get locked.

Oh, and i think the main reason for everyone that has been banned for seemingly little to no reason:
Bungie is like a police department in a small city
(not bagging against police officers, as i have MANY in my family)
But when you have a small, crime-less city,
Police get bored.
Simply bored.
So they pull you over for the LITTLEST things.
Cite you for the STUPIDEST things.

Bungie?
The group that can get really bored and decides to take it out on us.
Weeeee!!


(i've never been banned. Just speaking my mind)

Hey, I've recently been banned for quitting out of games, which is fair but I was wondering...
Can you get banned for quitting out of rumble pit as you quitting does not affect anyone else and you don't lose exp so you can't boost.
