I got banned from matchmaking for one week. It did not tell me why. I am in the air force, i don't get a lot of time off and it is the fourth of july weekend. all i want is to play halo. i wasn't boosting or cheating. i did get booted quite a bit which i can see why the system would think i quite a lo t on purpose


You got booted so many times. Yes, you can get banned for that.

it does not say anything about getting booted to many times in the code of conduct. only quitting to many times i saw was in there. and at least on that technicality could i at least get a freebee just this once. i know now that i will get banned. but i have a 4 day weekend this weekend because i am in the military. please just let me play halo.

Do you think that the halo community are a bunch of idiots, anyone can just check your carnage and see that you betrayed your teammate in team swat. 1 week banned is being nice already.

no i am saying that i apparently was an idiot and didn't know there was a code of conduct that gets you banned for innocently stupid. how was i supposed to know if you get booted too many times, you get banned? it does not say that anywhere in the game. why would someone have to go online to see the rules from a video game on a console? and that last one where it says 16 betrayals, those players were afk.

Well you still killed them. Some people go afk wanting you to betray them so they can boot you, especially in swat where its easier to win with less people.

And you are in the U.S military, i hope you don't shoot you fellow military men for standing still. I think there is a rules against that to, you might want to check that out before it's to late.

Is there a way to tell if you've been EXP banned, other than winning a game and not getting EXP?

I have been EXP banned once, was getting the achievables, sorry Bungie, if you have the message is very clear.

It pops up, over and over again:
"this account has been experience banned for two weeks"
The worst part is it has a tendancy to continue to come up every time you log on to halo...

why are you harping me so much? it's like you think i personally attacked you by asking for my account back? and that last comment was a little uncalled for. this is a video game. something that is supposed to have tolerance for quite a bit of stupidity.

Sorry, maybe i went a bit overboard, i just hate betrayer, Here is a tip. If your 360 console is not banned, then just go and buy yourself a new membership, you'll get to play again. but only if your console is not banned.

Before you but anything make new gamertag on it, you get so many with 1 month free so try that first.

Ok I have been banned for NO reason
and I repeat, NO REASON.


Look at my stats, I don't cheat or I wouldn't have lost 2 out of 14 games.


What have I done to get banned, my friend sold me this xbox (who used to betray)
and I play for 2 whole days and I end up banned.


WTF Bungie

video games are for your amusement pleasure. I am not in any league, i am not sponsored, no one can tell you how you should be able to play a VIDEO GAME. people's lives aren't at stake here. sure team killers are annoying, but that is part of the experience you'd expect from a first person shooter. the funny thing is you'd expect your numbered rank to go down from getting booted so many times right? however for some reason, the number started out at 6 and ended up at 10 when i was finished...and one more thing, they need to have a social swat mode

no one can tell me that when they bought this game that they were buying a game that would ban your xbox console for anything other than cheating, hacking, or tampering with the game itself. but not buy how you play the game. if they don't want people betraying why don't they just take it out of the game. it should have been something that was in there from the start. Master Chief is so good any way he could never betray any one. not even on accident, right? but it's a video game. They just took away the one thing a video game has to offer. CHOICE. that's like saying "Oh you are starving? here is some food, but if you eat it, you will be banned from eating for one week." take the ban off of the social playlists, that way it won't ruin the game for people who truly care about their rank.

Im not ranting or anything id just like it if you would answer some of the questions i have.. me, my cousin, and my friend all had enough guests to have 8 people and we were playing action sack one day.. we were just doing this to get medals we had never had before.. NOT to get acheivments.. in the middle of one game me and my cousin got a notice saying our Xbox 360 console has been banned from earning exp for 2 weeks.. Im just wondering why my friend didnt get the same ban if he was with us the whole time and also why we got banned from earning exp when we were in action sack meaning we cant gain any exp? o.o

Thanks

It looks like exp boosting, and anyway you shouldn't cheat to get medals, that's along the same line. If your going to play with a bunch of friends over then stay out of matchmaking and play customs if you want to be safe.

Bungie hates me anyway. They ban me for apparently boosting yet they don't ban some people I have seen who have quite blatantly boosted. They banned one of my friends for lagging out a match. Unfair.

Hope you are happy with yourselves Bungie. Banning some people for getting lagged out and taking the p*** by not banning proper boosters.

  • 07.09.2009 9:55 AM PDT

Me and my friends pluged in our guest and were playing on "Action sack" No exp possible so i dont think i should get in trouble. Plus everytime i log in i get the Exp ban message twice in a row ( just in case u banned me 2 times for on offence)

we were killing each other too
