Ok, cool, I love the banhammer thing... But why the hell am I not gaining experience? I played several games in Ranked Doubles and never got one EXP point. I started getting them if I would back out but thats not every time, so what are you doing to improve that?

The Bungie cards format is not compatible with forums that don't allow dynamic images. Why not use a more common file type like '.jpeg' instead of this '.ashx'? Will this be fixed or just left go?

Same thing happened to me. I failed to gain EXP in 3 team snipers games that I won over the weekend so I just quit playing that playlist. I was gaining EXP in other playlists so I thought things were working in those playlists. I won a bunch of games and then noticed I was not going up so I checked and my EXP in that playlist was 2 which is what it was at the start of the day. I had several games last week also fail to give me EXP for my wins. Kinda takes the fun out of it. I wish you guys would fix this soon!!!

It's such dedication like this that make me wish other games had stuff all that cool stuff.

Rebellion in small things to let the world know I haven't surrendered.

Hey guys, good work on getting the cheating handled. One thing though, no mention of doing something about the absolutely disgusting language and verbal abuse (not the sporting kind, but the racist and bigoted kind) that is a constant in Multiplayer. I know that I can mute, but I'd like to be able to communicate during the matches. I know that I can block the matching to an offensive player, but why should this behavior be tolerated at all? I'm not a prude and I utilize "George Carlin's 7 words you can never say on Television" when the situation dictates, but the HATE speech and absolute no concern for other's HALO experience is very disturbing. At least start announcing that you are concerned with the negative phenomenon on a consistant basis to get the 'word out'. Perhaps the language will begin to curb. Thanks. I think that if nothing is done or the problem ignored, this issue will come back to bite HALO Live in the future...

Personally, I think the word "-blam!-" should be -blam!-ed(that is, it should be censored). That's really offensive, and would be even if I didn't know someone who was actually raped. And totally uneccessary. Say "destroyed" or "owned" or "got the crap beat out of us" etc. I decided to begin reporting anyone who uses that word.
EDIT: haha, ok, so it appears that that word in it's present tense is in fact censored. But as you can clearly see, it isn't censored in all forms. Since people are most likely to use it in past tense, that should be censored too.

Just Another Grunt...

Matchmaking still sucks then eh? Guess I'm waiting for whatever the mythic maps are.

Can't wait for the new file share to come out, very cool bungie. .

I think most agree with me when i say Team snipes should def be a permanent playlist ( get rid of sniper hill, i didn't play with one player this weekend that enjoyed that horrible excuse for a game).

A little scared of that pic at the end(gave me chills)

"Lamh Laidir An Uachtar"

Wow, a Halo-movie to WMV function! That's so awesome! What will you guys at Bungie think of next, a "Tattoo this screenshot on your body" function?

...Don't answer that question, you guys could probably do it, somehow...

So, this is for Bungie Pro only, right? Not just a regular 6-slot fileshare?

What are you, stupid? ~ Asuka Langley Soryu

So lets say the party leader starts a game while your pooping, or starts a mp game after being in a custom or campaign game, or you have to answer the door and leave the house suddenly, or you fall asleep and the party leader keeps starting new games, will that count against you? Are you adding a auto kick or no start for AFC gamers like you do for the party leader when they are not there? I don't want to get banned or have a friend I'm playing with get banned for a silly mishap.

Personally I know girl gamer (not going to name names) who got up to go to the bathroom and came back with McDonalds a half an hour later. We kept playing with that person in the lobby. We knew she would come back, eventually, and we didn't really care weather we won or lost because she was gone.

I can understand banning modders and and people who try to manipulate the system, but life happens sometimes outside of the xbox community and xboxs get left on, I'm not trying to troll or anything and i know you can give me that whole "well just be more careful or responsible" spiel. i was just cirious what would happen and should I need to worry.

well one thing we have to realize is the entire game and system just got updated, so there are bound to be bugs. Dont worry im sure they'll get things back in order.

Granted I haven't played a game at all in some time, so Bungie doesn't view me as the target audience, but I am getting more annoyed that people are banned for quitting.

I get frustrated if it becomes clear, through my teammates, being outclassed, or my own ineptitude, that I am not going to do well in a game. And no amount of penalizing is going to make me sit in a game I'm hating. If you want to ban me for quitting an unenjoyable game, I don't want to be forced not to enjoy my xbox by you, and good riddance.

hey guys I just got the 7 0n 7 achivement and its 11:00 here in FL(still the 10/6). All I did was win one game and i got it. I thought you had to get 7 exp on the 7th to get it. I guess as long as you have 7 exp since the new update you get the achivement with on win.

wow im not sure why i got banned but if the mythic map pack doesnt come out before gears then ill hve to wait because i want to beat gears 2 on insane when it comes out.

IM NOT TAT MUCH OF A GEARS FAN.
I trully dont like gears but it is a godd game "FOR CAMPAIGN"
I like to get the games beat on hardest diff as fast as i can and yes im getting gears 2 because of the campaign and online "ACHIEVEMETNS" LOL

NO JK:
gears is a good game

HALO IS BETTER:
ive played halo since halo 1 everyday.

halo is soo good but the banhammer hit me when i dont cheat or do anything because it makes halo suck when you cheat or boost.

I PREFER TO GET MY THINGS LEGIT:
but as long as im not banned when gears 2 comes out BUNGIE ill still be playing halo.

I TRULY WANT TO DIE PLAYING HALO 7

BECAUSE 7 IS BUNGIES NUMBER SO MAYBE THEY WILL GO TO SEVEN.

THIS IS NOT LIKELY TO HAPPEN.

"Our Arrows will Blot out the sun." "Then we will fight in the shade"
This is my favorite line from 300 THAT MOVIE RULEZ ALL

I would just like to make it clear that yes I was one of the people that got experience banned for two weeks but for the people that have been messaging me saying I boosted to get my 50's shut up already...I didnt cheat in any way shape or form to get my lvl the only thing i did which actually irks me even more is I played griffball and a few of the other dbl exp play list with a FULL PARTY of my friends to get some extra exp.......considering that once I got my first 50 I was at about 900 exp so 4100 is quite a long ways to go....I dont know I dont really care about experience anymore no one does since title update 2 came out...but actually I didn't really even care about it for a while before then....anyways my point is I did boost for EXP but I did not boost for my levels and if any of you still want to say that I did msg me in about 2 weeks when I get my new XBOX and i will play you......1v1 any day of the week BLAM THAT MOTHER BLAMMERS

What about lag? It said something about quitters for a bannable offense, but what about those who lag out? I know that I've had to drop games because I literally couldn't play. I would die and not respawn for minutes at a time...Go to Connection screens. Will Players be banned if they get lagged out enough times?

butube sounds sick. But the only thing that made me mad about this, is that 3 ball is at the end of the month!!! Come on, thats what about 60% of people need now for the oddball achievement! But then again, the heavier weighting on oddball on legendary sort of helps.

All this talk of banning, i love you Bungie but this should not become a nazzi camp :)

"5. Quitting: Only in moderation
There are plenty of totally valid reasons to quit. For example, if you're on fire. Or, if your mother is on fire. Or, even if your dog is setting your mother on fire. However, these things come with statutes of limitations. For quitting, if you do it so often that we recognize it as bad behavior, you're risking the wrath of the Banhammer."

Made me laugh so hard. :D
