I believe the answer to everyones prayers has come in the form of a Perma-ban that is now in effect on all EU Bungie servers. The ban has been in force for about a week as far as we can tell. I myself was banned by accident over two weeks ago and I still cannot access the server I was banned from.
Anyhoo, there you go peeps, ur prayers have been answered :)

We know this. The fact is, negating the autoban is too much hassle to sort out, it involves changing game code, which in turn means a whole headache of licensing issues with MS, Bungie & Gearbox.
As patching the game or the servers go, MS, Bungie & Gearbox have washed their hands of Halo PC. Im sorry too, but thats life.
The simplest method was to activate perma-ban on the EU servers. At least that way if people are making trouble they cannot return if banned.

Hiring someone to admin the servers costs money, money they do not want to spend, period. Its just too much trouble for a game that is past its time.
Bungie, MS & Gearbox have lots of new and exciting projects to be working on, as a result im afraid Halo PC will be left to fade into obscurity. Unfortunate thought that is, such is life im afraid.

I'll volunteer to be one of those admins for free. Go to my clan website, and you'll find a list of some of the most noctorious TKer's i have seen on the bungie-ctf servers.

well, this is the answer to our question: instead of banning TKers, EU Bungie servers have decided to ban everyone else. I seriously doubt people will be complaining about TeamKilling anymore in this forum; they won't even know its still going on because they can't play.

If this is true, it's the last straw in a bale of hay that's been building for a long time. Sad to say, Bungie and MS games have lost all appeal for me now and earned a place in my "Do Not Waste Money On" list of game makers to avoid.

I'll finish my video and pop into the forum now and again until it just gets too boring; answer questions or lend a supportive ear. but I guess, if this proves true, that this is my goodbye.

Sorry to be a two month flash in the pan; I just got DSL too late.

Until when

Play Fair and Good Gaming

Actually, BF2's vote-kick system is pretty hard to use succesfully. Nobody seems to vote "yes" if they're not affected or just don't care. I find it helps to tell everyone why the -blam!- you're starting the vote in the first place. I haven't seen "abuse" of the vote-kick system yet, so I don't see why bungie's so worried that it will be abused. Please, add something to halo pc or you will lose another player.
