Poor sportsmanship is not a bannable offence, sure these people are anoying as hell, but its still not a bannable offence.

Both Gamertags were used to be boosted. You got banned. The system works, and your proof it does.

So looseing games over and over again for the sake of boosting is not a bannable offence. If I get a team of 5 people together and go in to social slayer and allow my self to be a free kill to the other four members of my team it is not boosting? I would think that it is exp boosting. And that is what I come across alot of. When a kid playing Grifball who is on my team tells me "Bungie blamed up and put me on the wrong team so now I have to make sure that you loose" That is just poor sportsman ship. People have still found a way to exp boost. And Bungie has done nothing about it. Loosing games over and over again for the sake of boosting is a bannable offence and the people who are doing this need to be banned!

Boosting is bannable, what you and your friends did in the games, was boosting, a perfect example.

Yes it is boosting, allowing yourslef to be killed and not fighting back is "One" way of Exp Boosting.

Yes, this is poor sportsmanship, one of the reasons I dislike griffball.

People have found many ways to Exp boost, and bungie are doing something, they are doing everything, notice your ban... bungie did something.. notice all the other posts in this thread... because bungie did something...

As long as people continue to boost, bungie will continue to ban people.

As long as people continue to boost, bungie will continue to ban people.

So who is it to decide what is poor sportsmanship and exp boosting. I do it and I get banned. A general grade 2 does it and it is just poor sportsmanship. Bungie needs to redraw there line.

i agree with Rhyvos. i have had many games to where i get that one guy on my team that says he's just helping his other 4 teammates out on the other team. it has gone on for far to long and something needs to be done about the cheating.

not to sound like a butt, but i waited 9 months in Afghanistan to play this game and my patience is not what it use to be. i hate cheating. if i knew that i was cheating i wouldn't of done it, but there is a fine line in your system and a lot of my battle buddies think so too. to tell you the truth we all are thinking about not playing anymore. i don't want to sound like a pie hole about it, but that's the way we feel.

BOosting is whatever bungie decides on. There is a loose set of guidelines. YOu can check them out at www.bungie.net/ban. But a lot of what they say is not boosting has a fine line to what is boosting.

Do you know about time travel?

i belive that i have been unfairly banned. i was playing rumble pit with my friends we hadd guests so we did not have to play with people that use inapproiate words. then one friend wanted to just win a lot so i just started watching t.v and let him kill me. i then start playing and killing him and i then get a message saying "you have been banned from getting experince for 2 weeks." so i think that it is unfair that i got banned and my so called friend dident.

You waited nine months in Afghanistan just to play Halo 3? Come on, I'm sure there's more to life than a video game.

You can't honestly tell me that you didn't think there was anything wrong with this, this, or this. Use your common sense. You don't think that it's against the rules to go into matchmaking games with a full party of empty controllers for the sole purpose of getting experience points?

Why are you thinking of not playing anymore? Is it because you were punished?

Listen to yourself. I'm guessing that you're a grown man, but is that how grown men should be talking? You got a two week EXPERIENCE ban. You can still play matchmaking with your friends; you can still rank up in level.

Also, Bungie can't just ban everyone who betrays in a game. I understand your frustration; I've had a few games where somebody on my team just helps out the other side. I hate to say this, but you just have to deal with it and play on.

yes i'm a grown man. i'm a sgt in the u.s. army. if you put youself in my shows for one minute you would understand what little i had to look forward to you little -blam!-. you get blown up a couple of times and sit in a bed for a while then make your comments.

and the reason we don't want to play anymore is because of the people that betray for the other team. i have enough people to do the same thing they do, but i know how bad it sucks, so we don't do it.

as far as exp boosting i wasn't trying to boost i don't need to exp boost, i have enough exp to become a general when i hit level 50. we were just trying to have some fun. isn't that what this game is all about?

on an other note, i love this game when it's clean. i avoid people that do all this dumb crap, but for some reason i end up playing with the same people again and again. maybe that should be one of the things bungie should work on.

and one more thing. i can care less about getting exp banned. i've earned my skill the hard way. what i'm pissed about is that nothing is being done to the people that get a 5 man party going on double the exp weekends, just so that they can have the one person betray the other team a cause them to loose. now see this is where i and a lot of other people don't understand bungie's fine line of boosting and bad sportsmanship. this is another thing bungie should work on. i mean why even have the avoid player or file a complaint when it doesn't even matter. think on that bungie. thanks for your time.

I agree with Darthruler 86. I think that social and double exp team games should have a party size restriction on them like the ranked playlists. If I get hit for cheating then so should all of these little kids who thinks it's fun to betray me so thier other party members can win and gain the exp. More than once I have encountered this. And according to Bungie "Losing games over and over again as long as this is not for the purpose of boosting. " But isn't that what these kids are doing. Loosing games over and over again so that thier teammates can get exp. BUngie has done nothing about this. I feel that they should do something to prevent this.

I'm not one of those kids that gets on here and clearly knows why he is banned, as i am clueless. I'll describe my account and you all can check the games in my profile. I have 1052 games played and 1042 exp. As of now i have 5 50's in MLG, Team Doubles, Team Slayer, Objective, Team Snipers and a 48 in LW. The only reason I can think of is that people obviously think I cheat based off of the time it took to get 5 50's. I rank up really fast on this account, as my TS only took 54 games. Honestly if I knew why I was banned I would not be typing this reply. This is really disappointing, spending that much time and doing as good as I've done on this account to have it thrown away. I'm not pleeing to be unbanned (although i received no code of conduct warning for innapropriate profile content, if that were the reason) however I only want to know the reason for banning. Maybe it is due to the fact that in almost every Team Objective game a player has quit out on the other team. However, if you look at my partner, XbL Ultra, we win every game and go very positive, therefore making the games not close and due to frustration the other team quits out. Yes, I'm very aware how many of these you get daily from the cheaters that still run matchmaking games and cheat regardless of the updated banning system. However that is not me or my playing style. Please check my games, kill to death, medals, anything. This is very urgent.

Also if it is for talking trash, i talk trash less than any of the people on my list. Xbox Live offers "trash talking your opponents" as a reason to update your silver membership to a gold.

I called 18004myxbox and realized it is a Halo 3 Matchmaking ban only, which the reason obviously resulted from actions in Matchmaking. This does not make any sense what so ever, i deranked in Objective even when a kid talked about host booting, resulting in me having my internet shut off for two hours. I get rewarded with a ban...

Not once in my initial post did I try to start any confrontation to you.
Also, calling other people "little **** " on a internet forum is not conduct I would expect from an Army Sergeant.

You have to understand how silly it sounds for you to be putting up such a fierce argument over a 2 week EXP suspension.

You also deny that you were EXP boosting. How is it fun to start a matchmaking game with 2 people and a bunch of dormant guest accounts? But if that's your idea of fun, you can still do that in custom games; so I don't see why you're upset.

As for Bungie punishing betrayers-- I know it sucks to join a game just to have one of your matchmade teammates betray you and commit suicide over and over again. No matter what game you play, there will always be bad sports. The best solution to this would be to join team games with a full party.

Like I said before-- You got caught for EXP boosting, whether it was intentional or not. Regardless, the first punishment is very lax and you can still play all aspects of Halo 3. Learn from the lesson and go from there; there's no reason to fight it. Bungie won't take back the punishment.

i don't want them to take back the punishment. you're not even listening to what i'm arguing. many people agree with what rhyvos is saying. i know of many people that i play with or have played with that doesn't like the ruling on betraying. i agree it sucks and that's probably the only thing that you got through your little peon brain of yours, but when someone does it on double the exp weekend shouldn't it be known as boosting? and this is why i say this. cookieofchoas which is a bungie employee says,"if you run up to the other team to let them kill you it is boosting," which she also said in a previous statement that it was unsportsman like conduct. so as you see the rules were contradicting themselves. it's the same as if someone let's say in griftball betrays the team so that the only team may score. now isn't that helping people gain exp? i know that i'm right on this. it's people like you that have to much pride to admit that the system is flawed. or if you'd like we can start up a survey and let the people decide. i'm pretty sure i'll win. now get lost.

First off, Cookie of Chaos is not a Bungie employee. I don't know what got you to think that. Cookie is just another user to this website with his own opinion, just like you and me.
And what gives you the idea that I have too much pride to admit the system is flawed? I never stated that it was perfect.

Also, is it a coincidence that you and Rhyvos were boosting together? It seems that the only reason you're in this thread is to back up your friend.

And what is this about my peon brain? Judging by your syntax and grammar, I would bet money that I have a higher level of education than you do.

just because someone has a higher level of education than someone doesn't mean that they are smarter. i got my E-5 rank in 2 1/2 years and that's just off a g.e.d. a guy in my platoon has 4 years of college and has been in for 5 years and he's an E-4. my LT. ask me for advise on how to do things. i lead a squad of soldiers. i make a crap ton of money to do so. so don't talk to me about education levels. let me guess you got out of college making maybe 30,000 a year if that and you think you're an amazing salesman that has to put his 2 cents on anything and everything.

know one ask you for your 2 cents kweeb and i don't know why you even bother saying anything and don't give me this free speech thing. it's one of those deals where some people should just shut it and move on with they're life. have a great night.
