I was banned and I just played with my friends over XBOX live party and to guests on my Xbox and I don't see the point of my 2 wqeeks exp ban...

Anyways has everyone got a bungie.net pro data-sharing? I got it for free is it a trial for gamers to show bungie.netpro?

its only exp, u can still play games online.

why put achievements on social? were you guys expecting "ah no one will do it." u know that they will.
i think now with the realise of mythic Map Pack, 20% of halo gamers would get EXP Banned just after buying the thing for 800 points. lol


76.5% of statistics are made up. Putting achievements in a logical move to increase players abilities to get achievements. Instead of just being able to do FFA you now have the full compliment of playlists to achieve in.

"Did you recieve a message saying you were banned?"

Yes everytime I go on Halo I see a message saying "You are permanently banned from halo 3 matchmaking and fileshare". I don't know why.... If you guys tell me why I will not do it anymore if you unban me. It was kind of unfair to go straight to a permanent ban and not give me a two week warning. Besides I didn't do anything wrong to my knowledge. I've read the Code of Conduct and I've done nothing wrong to get me banned from either of these.

So you don't know what a shnoon is?

I was "exp" banned for playing 5 games with some friends trying to get achievements. My question is, why even make the achievements available in social if you don't want friends to play together and get them? Ive read these 4 reasons why you would get banned:
Manipulating network conditions to give yourself an advantage, or to the detriment of the experience for other players.
Modifying your Xbox 360 hardware or Halo 3 software in any way.
Skill or XP Boosting, deleveling, cheating or any other type of unsociable and unsportsmanlike behavior.
Impersonating a Bungie employee on Xbox LIVE with intent to defraud or cause harm to other players.

and my situation doesn't fall under any of them. Honestly, there was absolutely no boosting involved, considering I only won 2 of the 5 games(woot, 2 exp). Also, many other games have similar achievements in multiplayer, and they don't ban people for working together to get them. If they were so worried about that, they'd make them for RANKED ONLY.

- 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.


*sigh*

I was banned for trying to get a medal for my medal chest, not an achievement, so I believe whoever banned me was confused at what I was doing..?

  • 04.10.2009 9:03 AM PDT

There are many powers in the world, for good or for evil. Some are greater than I am. Against some I have not yet been measured. But my time is coming.

I think you are confused as to what constitutes "boosting."

1. How is it cheating? They made the achievements available in social, and in social you can bring friends in and play together. Keep in mind that I only played 5 games and got 2 exp out of it.
2. Why was this not posted in the official rules? It doesn't make sense to me that there is an official rules list and then a thread with different ones.

It's not a problem if you are actually playing. Do you really need it spelled out that you are expected to play the games the way they are intended to get achievments? Have you ever heard of integrity?

1. Just because it's social, doesnt mean you should go cheat to get them. I've played with my friends and I got stuck on the opposite team, they asked if they could get the "kill joy medal" on me, I replied try it.

2. This thread was posted, to stop the forum being filled with complaints, and people questionning why they were banned.

Do you realize we can see your game history? Did you have fun boosting in Team Mythic?

  • 04.10.2009 10:02 AM PDT

You know what i Hate? those n00bs who play 24/7

Heres what i believe the achievments don't mean much and many don't really even care because no one really even takes the chance to look so don't try to boost be fair and dont cheat your ruiing the game for everyone!!!

Hey Shishka I know this has nothing to do with the thread but I wanted to know why I did not get my Spartan Officer achievement I'm already a 45 and have about 150 exp. I'm looking to get all my achievements of Halo 3 and i was just checking my achievements to see what I had left and I saw i did not have the Spartan Officer achievement why is that?

I guess i'm in the same boat as 100,000 other people....I didnt even know what i was doing was wrong by trying to get the achievements in social. It was totally stupid that they put them in social. This ban is bull crap.

How's the mythic medal boosting, achievement boosting, kill boosting, exp boosting.

Sit back in that corner please.

You must feel pretty -blam!- cool putting all these people in their place. Maybe you should sit the -blam!- down because nobody wants to hear you. You're not connected with bungie, let them talk.
