I've been EXP banned today for 2 weeks. (I think i'm innocent, ill explain why if needed later). It said my XBOX 360 had been EXP banned, not my XboxLIVE account.

My question: is it still possible for me to get RECON armour? I achieved all achievable Halo3 achievements (without boosting) .. it's a pain if i cant :(.

Hmm. I would think so, unless some of the achievements that come out with Halo 3: ODST are based on exp. Either way, it's gonna be a lot more than two weeks until it comes out.

You might try and figure out why you where banned in the first place so you can avoid it in the future.

Yes well in the case of I suppose its called "cheating" to get achievements? It was never told to me and was never in any code of conduct and I don't know what constitutes cheating to get achievements but I got a 2 week exp ban because of it ANYWAYS im not upset in fact I laughed when I saw it but regardless if I known I was gonna get a exp ban I would have stopped before it came down to this. Also I did a few more games after I got the notification of the ban they were social rumble pit games were I was trying to get achievements should I have to worry at all sense its during the ban period?????? The only reason why I continued was because I made a promise to a friend not using this as a excuse but should I worry at all? By the way Im looking for a bungie employee or bungie.net moderator for a answer on this...................

I know it might seem stupid to admit to doing something bad on this type of thread after I was notified of being banned but admitting the truth is better than nothing it was 2 or three games do I have anything to worry about ???

and just to clarify after those 2 games I don't plain on doing any of this anymore I was just trying to help my friend and myself get the harder achievements now that I gotten them I don't have a reason to do this anymore so no worries about me "cheating" anymore.


Odds of an employee answering are slim to none. Mods are just members like you and I with blacklisting power. In short, this is probably the only response you will get. I would be worried if I were you but don't be surprised if nothing happens since you have stopped.

Okay, thanks. :)

Was a little worried that I did get banned or something. I guess I'll go get a new disc or just try to get it cleaned.

All accounts on my xbox got banned from match making for quitting out of games?, I did not play with anyone or boost anyone. I'm not sure if this is the right thread to post in but, shouldn't I only be banned for cheating? I understand that people can get banned for cheating as in boosting with someone else but I never attempted to win a game on the new account I made, I simply made it for fun and only for customs, I thought having a bad looking account and beating people in customs would be funny.

- "also wouldn't it make more sense to give someone an exp ban for quitting which is a personal choice? then a mm ban?"

-52 EXP on a new account? Could you be more obvious?

In most cases excessive quitting is cheating. You should still be able to play customs.

sorry for the double post but had one more thing to say.
- Before I got mm banned someone sent me a message saying banned.
This user was also -exp, so it only seems fair his name be up here as well.

It's amazing how people will not take responsibility for their actions. They always say what about that guy. Man up to your own crimes mo.

Hello.

I admit, I cheated for the 49 old achievements.
I asked people before the round started what I could do and they said yes.
Whoever can EXP ban me. You deserve to do it.

EDIT: "I cheated for the 49 old achievements" i meant the lone wolves ones.

uhm this is probably the wrong place to ask this but what is boosting

  • 04.23.2009 5:49 PM PDT

well at least give us a warning message, cops will sometimes do that and since your way cooler than any cop ever you should be able to give us a warning right? maybe like 1 or 2 but then that's it. and do we HAVE to get baned or why not just suspended if our record is clean?

ok well it is a very good idea in my opinion here that this thread was made. I would have but you beat me too it

  • 04.23.2009 7:06 PM PDT

In my opinion, people who cheat should be banned but i think it would be cool if when you got banned a Bungie Employee invited the "Banned" player to a match with like 16 other Bungie guys and one of them had a HUGE gravity hammer and hit you with it and dropped you right out of Matchmaking... Im just saying, that would be cool.

  • 04.23.2009 7:15 PM PDT

I think its like when you are playing with a Teammate who has Negative EXP and that way you will rank up twice as fast in ranked playlists...

Common sense can tell you if what you are doing is not right. Boosting isn't something the average player happens to do unknowingly. Excessive quitting isn't something somebody does unintentionally. Plainly, playing the game with a 0% risk of being banned is not hard and truly those seeking to cheat run the risk knowing that they are doing something wrong or dishonest. Ignorance as you are suggesting is not a problem nor an excuse.

Police officers have something called discretion. In a video game "justice system" discretion doesn't have a place, so no warnings. Banned is the same thing as a suspension just a different word for the same thing.
