To the 4 above posts: yes, being banned for 2 weeks does disqualify you, according to Bungie. They keep lists.

Yeah, we shouldnt have to suffer because of other people on our Xbox, only they should get the swift Recon BanIronwood


unfortunately, I dont think this is up for debate

well what if it was hacked and when you got it back that it said you were banned? what happens then? am i still good or is there still no need to try since the person who hacked my account got me banned from exp for 2 weeks?

What if my profile was hacked and the person who hacked it got banned?

and what if it was an exp banned? dose that count as the banned you are talking about?

and dose that kind of banned keep you from getting recon later down the line?


If your account was stolen, we have records. You aren't disqualified because some jerk stole your gamertag.

If you were EXP banned, you shouldn't participate.

Whether or not your ban will ultimately prevent you from ever receiving Recon hasn't been determined yet, as far as I know. If I were to guess, I'd think it would probably depend on the severity of your ban, but don't quote me.

My eyes are blue.

Chocolate over vanilla, but both are pretty tasty.


how could you (bungie) tell if someone stole your account and got it perma banned if they just changed ur pass, you figured it out, and took your account back?....just a question

and can i plz get a message from somone who acctually works at bungie and has a for sure anwser for me? instead of some random kid just posting and thinking they know what they are talking about? lol

OK so I've tried to ask this question before but had no answer so here goes nothing. Me and my brother share an xbox. He had made an account and got caught boosting which I warned him would happen as it has happened to my friends. He then got caught and therefor got all of our accounts banned from Exp. Now is my account, not his account he was boosting on, elgible to receive this Recon?

  • 05.16.2009 2:37 PM PDT

This is bull honkey... I already did the Vidmaster Annual along time ago so I don't feel like doing it again and even if I did, my Live ran out.. This sucks.

The way i got my account back was that i called the xbox help line nd they have like this whole department thing that takes care of it. so im guessing either bungie gets alerted that it happens or theres a list or somthing that xbox has posted for them to see.

idk im just saying.

but im for sure that xbox help me get my profile back after it was hacked.

If I do this contest and I already have recon, can my team still win?


Posted by: urk
If you have Recon and choose to participate, you'll only be along for the ride to help your team.

Yes, you have to complete the level.

If you've been banned from matchmaking, you know it, and you can't win.

You can be on as many teams as you like, but since you can only submit one fileshare, you can really only enter once for the team you choose to submit your screenshot with. All other teams you play on won't end up being able to have all four players submit screens (since at least one will have already one so).


RUL FTW!

people dont always call xbox when accounts get taken, sometimes they just remember they have an alternate e-mail on the account or something and get their account back...just a thought

in the full story it says if someone has been banned EVER. does that mean a full ban? For example, i got banned :( not long ago for boosting apparently (i have no idea why). I was banned for only two weeks just from getting exp. does this affect the contest for me?

What types of screenshots are you looking for. do you want all players in the ghost or do you want a cool explosion.

i tried the alterante email ting and it didnt work for me so thats why i called bungie. im thinking the ppl that hacked mine changed all that stuff before i had a chnce to do that. and thats why it didnt work for me. but i know what your saying.

im basically wanting to know that if since when the hacker had mine and got banned if that will hkeep me from the recon weekend thing.

Hey I've got a question: Me and a group of friends got this achievement a while back but I saved the film. Can I take a screenshot from that film and still enter the contest with it? Or do I seriously have to do that entire mission again to enter?
