Dear Bungie,

Today when I woke up I played one MLG game and then had to leave for school. When I came back, I suddenly was banned from halo 3. A message popped up when I logged on, saying: This Xbox 360 console has been banned from Matchmaking for one week. Then another message popped up saying this account has been banned from matchmaking for one week. I got no clue why, I tried to look back into some videos and messages where I could have done something wrong, but I didn't find any.

To let it out of the bag, I didn't:
- EXP boost
- mod or cheat in anyway
- impersonating anybody
- modding my 360

I went to http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?link=H3Bans and I have done NONE of those. Is there anyway I can specifically find out why I was banned? My Gamertag is t0mt0m53

Yours sincerely,

Tom

*THIS IS NOT A BUNGIE SLAM: IT IS MY OPINION ON MY EXP. BAN DONT TAKE THIS PERSONALLY, BECUASE THIS ISNT A HATE MESSAGE

first off, it would be nice if there was an in-game warning that we would get exp. banned if we kept on doing it. of course i deserved to be banned, but i wouldnt of in the first place if i would've gotten a warning first.
second, i dont think its fair that you only ban people with a [1] or [2] player, because 4 people did it, but only me and my friend got banned because we had [1] players, you should make it for everyonbe in the party, bacause they were just as bad as us.
please take these into consideration


First off, theres been plenty of warning in-game and on bungie.net
Second, a single game wont get you banned, but continuos boosting will, this fits your case.

My mate got Banned from matchmaking, he doesn't have a computer so he conned me into asking about his ban. He Boosted people in matchmaking to 50, actually did a pretty good job of it if you ask me...but he got caught the first time and got banned for 2 weeks. Now he was stupid enough to do it again and the ban said it was a week but...its been close to 2 months now and he still cant play matchmaking. Has he been I.P Banned or just his Xbox 360 Console been permantly banned? He insists me on playing customs and it is really annoying.

2nd offense is anything from 1 month ban to perm.

Ask your friend if he remember's what his message said when he recieved it (About the ban)

So you're suggesting he hosted booted his entire team and gave the other team the win? Even if that were true, you're suggesting that this host booter can't even cheat his way to a 50. Now while I've never met some one so stupid to suggest it, I guess it is possible for that kind of idiocy to exist. But when you suggest that Bungie bans a host booter for only a week, that is when I question your ability to function without a visiting nurse and a bike helmet.

If you've seen the posts in this thread, then you'd see why your post is void.

If you havnt, i'll fill you in.
I've seen all ranks boost, from first leitenants, staff captains, grade 2's,3's of all ranks. Boosting and cheating doesnt mean your "going for 50".
People boot the host, regardless of whom's team they are on.
Just because the person is banned, doesnt mean they were banned for network manipulation, the system might have registered it as exp boosting, thus an exp ban.

Hi cookie,

I can't even see what's wrong with those links you gave. Those are just a bunch of matches where everyone stays stuck on the starting game screen, and then when it starts everyone is gone and it's game over. My friend has this also..

Greetings,

Tom

Looking at those games I would almost bet toms problem is just a bad connection. Its not like hes playing with the same people every game and often in the ones you showed above he got a DNF as well. Either hes been banned for the connection or he was host booting and just wasn't very good and kept disconnecting himself. If you look at his exp penalties he has 130+ now i don't have near as many games as him but still in several hundred games Ive only got I think 3 and 2 of those were for betrayal boots. If I'm not mistaken you can be banned for continually dropping games.

Those are really just matches I get lagged out, but yeah, I guess there is no way to proof that.
I do have a question, if these lag outs are getting me banned is there any help for me? I don't want to get banned for it again..

There are possible solutions first go to this site http://www.speedtest.net/
click the server closest to you then tell me what speeds you are running.

Check all of your router settings and make sure your NAT is open if this is set to strict or even moderate you can have problems with your connection and will drop a lot of games.

If you have a router that will not permit you to use an open NAT you may be better off to get a new router. If the first issue bandwidth availability is your issue you should get a new Internet service provider.

so that you have an idea of what a decent connection will give you my speed test consistently shows around 7000 Kb/s download and 3000 Kb/s upload and have not laged out of one game in almost 300 played

The thing is, with 90% of the games I posted. Everyone else had been "Lagged out" as you put it, while you were still in the game. This happened 1/10 of all your games on pages 1-5.

What makes my curoisty go even more, is the squad battle game, 11 people "Lagged out" while you were left? Seems rather questionable to me.

Depends on the ban.

If its an account ban, then no.

On the other hands, if its an xbox ban, then yes.
