Thanks for the replies everyone.

Cookie- how do I put H3 on my HD? Also, what are the pros and cons of this? Reading back on this thread it looked like multiple people discouraged this...

The cons first, it's been stated by bungie that putting h3 on your HD will make the maps load longer, and this will make the matchmaking lobby last longer while you load the map. The pro's is, like I have used it, it will save cerrupted files from scratches and damages done to your disc.

To put the game on your hard drive ( I recommend only using as a last resort).

Put Halo 3 in.
Go to Dashobard.
Go to my games (the first screen, which displays masterchief)
Press Y.
Then click "install to hard-drive.

The people that aid the boosters are mainly guests, or other people, everyone in the party (and game if nessecary) will most likely be banned.

Sorry if I do this wrong. My gamertag is Smunkey 665 I am on my boyfriend's name now. My account has been banned. I get that message thingy when I try to play halo 3. I know that he got banned for running his cousin through campain on legendary. My question is why did my account get banned from gaining exp also. Once again my name is Smunkey 665. Thank you.
Also so I know, I keep seeing people with 0 exp and a true skill of 25 - 50. Are these people boosters. My boyfriend seems to think that they are and is not surprised when they quit.

The banhammer will strike, its not a matter of timing, its a matter of how hard.

So since I'm almost positive this ban won't be lifted or shortened or anything like that I was wondering, if I changed the GT of the account that was banned to something (Doesn't matter what I guess, I'll never use it again) can I change the name of the new account I make to the same GT? Or will that somehow confuse the system to think my ban was lifted somehow and reban the new account?

Because I changed my GT literally a day before I recieved the ban, and I like the new tag I have, so thanks for an answer.

As long as if I supply feedback saying my the account was banned when I changed the GT that it would be unbanned haha. Because I'm also on GB and if I change my tag I have to wait 12hours before I can play another match.
And one other question, someone posted in my thread that a permanent MM ban is a system ban, even though I got a message saying my xbox was only banned for a week..So, will I be able to play MM again on my Xbox on another account after the week is up?

I say play how you want, boosting doesnt affect anyone else so its fine, just dont cheat to give yourself an advantage over other people. Those who disagree with me can go -blam!- themselves up the -blam!- ass with a mother-blam!- wooden spoon!

Sacrifice for the greater good.

HA to all those who have been banned! ROFL HARD

ive been banned for boosting but i deserved it and ill admit it

Hold on, I asked about this a before the rocket race weekend and was told that as long as everyone is actually playing they would not get banned. They were "playing" even if they were helping each other. Good thing all the rocket racers played by two's just to be on the safe side because we never got a specific answer and it looks like we were right. If you are playing a singles game in a party play it as a singles game. Doubles by doubles... etc.

Getting unbanned, no, never. As for your GB team, you play clan games over customs, so it wont hurt.

As for your question, if u recieved a message saying;

Exp ban- 2 week period.
MM ban- month/perm.

I'm sorry I'm still confused, I recieve two messges when I sign in on my banned account one says "This xbox has been banned from Matchmaking for one week" and the other stating that my account is permanently banned.
So..after a week I should be able to play MM on my xbox again right? Not on the banned account of course, but on another?

You should be able to play on you "xbox" after 2 weeks.
You should be able to play MM on a different account, personally im not sure (Since ive never experianced any bans)
