You obviously did something to warrant a ban.

I'm guessing it was nothing serious, like host booting or DDoS'ing your opponents, because the Banhammer is notoriously ineffective at actually punishing those people who deserve it.

You probably did something pretty innocuous, like quitting out of too many games, triggering a suicide penalty auto-ban, deranking, being idle, or boosting in any number of manners, either intentionally or unintentionally.

You'll get over it.
That's the thing, Ive actually never done of this. On my old account I boosted achievements in lone wolves, but in this account I wanted everything to be 100% legit. Hence why I don't have all of the lone wolves achievements yet.


If you boosted achievements in LW in that is probably the reason you got a consule ban. It doesnt matter if you are trying to play legit on the other account they just ban the entire xbox so you cant go making other acccounts and bypassing the ban. Enjoy your time off.

OK, first off, stop being a jerkwad. According to his profile, this man has done nothing wrong and was banned for it.

To OP: If you really did nothing, that is truly sad on Microsofts part. And if Bungie doesn't listen to you (Shocker!) then theres nothing I can say my lad, other than buy a PS3.


So he admitted to boosting and im the jerkwad? He did something wrong and admitted it, he needs to take his ban and live with it.

dude same thing happened to me today too. the thing i don't get is i haven't played halo for 2 months and then i create a new account, play 20 games, then i get banned for a month. i dont really care cause bungie does punish ppl who don't deserve it cause there service is not up to par but ive just decided to play gears 2 until reach comes out.

I personally don't care that much cause I only play video games like 4 hours out of the week but if i am banned from Halo:Reach right when it comes out then i will have to complain about bungies service.

Anyway dude sorry it has happened to you me and my roommate but life goes on, right man?

See you guys at MLG RALEIGH?
