What's the most important part of a joke?
I am a brigadier, and i developed the game Halo 3 with only a sledgehammer and a science kit i got for my birthday. I love snapple, its delicious and nutritious, and i am able to play shotty snipers while simultaneously hippin and hoppin and pippin and poppin and goin and flowin to the motion of the ocean.


Timing

-S

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.
dude i havent been banned badly but thats harsh if you cheat and boost you are digracing the good names that are halo's 1,2,and 3 that also includes bungie

i have one for ya.

im banned from gaining xp when i was very close to a brigadier.

i got a message saying i was banned from getting xp.

1st of all, i didn't manipulate the netowork, i dont own modded 360 hardware, i dont pretend to b a bungie member ( wish i was)

and lastly, i never heared of boosting and i think i know what it means. it think its when you have a high level and a lower level in a ranked playlist. you keep winning and the lower level will be like a 35 with5 xp.

tell me if im correct.



I THINK I WAS INJUSTLY BANNED

You aren't correct, however you are "IN-justly" banned. I'll let others have fun going through your game history. Oh, you are a "bungie member" since you are on this site.

Really has anyone ever been able to prove that they were wrongly banned?


2nd question: Why do people keep coming on here saying they don't know why they were banned, knowing full well that they do know why they got banned and that we can just go into their game history and know why too?

People seem to think that ignorance is an excuse.

Not quite what this thread is based towards but rest assured if this guy is cheating in any way he will be banned. FYI you aren't supposed to single players out via forums in case you weren't aware.

If the only reason you play halo is for the arbitrary numbers, yes.

  • 04.05.2009 11:24 AM PDT

1337

Thats a negative good sir. If you play matchmaking for fun and the way its supposed to be played without the "OMG IM SO CLOSE TO A 50!!!" Just play, play well you will rank up over time. PLAY FOR FUN :)

My freind Emmet (Gamertag BLAK BANE) was banned from earning XP for 2 weeks due to apparent "Boosting" we believe this is what he was banned for because of a misconception and that none of the other listed rules have been violated.

the definition of "Boosting" is cheating the system to raise your XP, we have done no such thing.

I will admit that we were doing could easily be viewed as boosting, but what we were doing was not.

he, myself and several others using Team Mythic to attempt to unlock Achievements, which yes, i will admit is frowned upon but it did require a level of co-operation from those involved and we had no malicious intent.

I am speaking on his behalf and wish to make the following points clear. earning achievements is not "Boosting". Working together to earn achievements is in fact encouraged in halo 3, this made obvious by the "Annual" achievement.

The need for achievements has been made ever more obvious as with the recurring glitches that often prevent players from unlocking certain armour permutations.

Emmet has asked me to add that he is sorry for what he has done and will not attempt it again, also that had he known this was a bannable offence, he would not have attempted it in the first place.

i would like to add that this 2 week ban was not nessescary, this is a simple misunderstanding. a simple warning would have sufficed.

I am not questioning your automated system but i am merely asking that in this instance the ban be removed from Emmet, if this is possible. I understand the need for banning to mantain the fairness of the halo 3 multiplayer society but i think this instance was misinterpreted by the automated system as "Boosting" and a simple explanation is needed on my part.

we understand that this method of achievement earning is not quite how the developers of the game intended but as stated earlier, we understand the risks of these ways and will not attempt it again.

thank you for listening and i hope that This 2 week ban can be removed from Emmet, or if not, at least this information can be used to prevent the future ban of innnocent players.

that's probably because the people in the game seriously overeacted, gave you a load of negative feedback and sent messages to their freinds telling them to do the same.

stop whining dude. the same thing happens to everyone else who does that. it is called achievement boosting and im currently on a 2 week ban for the same thing. and neither of us (me or your bud) are "innocent". its boosting, just in a different way. (and i apologize bungie, you guys are awesome)
