Is is possible to be banned from halo CE like you would be banned from xbox live? I have a strange problem with my game in which all of the multiplayer buttons besides Create/Join a LAN game have been greyed out. I cannot create or join an online game. I had an issue with a guy that tried to kill me so i betrayed him until i was autobanned from a single server, but other than this i have nothing to really deserve a ban. Please post here or send me a PM if you know anything about this.

You have the maps required to play the server?
You have the 1.07 patch?
You have firewalls and such disabled or set to allow Halo?
You're not using a cracked or keygen-ed version of Halo? No fixed-exe?

When did this happen, and what happened before it started?

greyed out as in you cannot click them? I'd run a full system scan with my anti-virus software, and I'd do it NOW!

Well the really wierd thing is that I had just left a game that I had joined when the game was working fine and then when I brought up the multiplayer page to join another one, I couldn't. So I was able to play before that. It just took a big dump on me all of a sudden. Also, this problem is Halo CE specific. Halo PC runs absolutley fine. And as for the system scan, I'm doing it right now.
