Subject: Host Banned ???

Hello people I was just wondering if anyone out there actually knows what Bungie ban when the ban you from having host in a game..

Is it I.P, Xbox 360, Xbox 360 and all Gamer tags that where on at the time of the ban or just the actual gamer tag itself.

I ask this because I believe I was host banned awhile back when playing double with my partner on new mess around accounts not long before Halo 3 started to die we made a lot of kids quit and soon after that less than a week in face we were banned from playing together and since then I have been unable to pull host in any game.

Now I am on an new Xbox, New I.P as I moved house and a Diffferent Tag to the one I was one when we made loads of kids quit.

This is really annoying as me and my partner can no longer play together and haven't been able to do for a long time now.

We can search on Reach together but not Halo 3 so not sure why we are allowed to search on Reach but not Halo 3..

Any help towards this issue will be gratefully accepted ..

Pretty sure it's the tied to the Xbox's serial number or something along those lines, could be wrong though?

If the console you're on is hostbanned, then yes. If you want to make sure you're hostbanned search splitscreen in doubles. If you get a game you're not host banned.

Probably just need to get your host record back, so play in Social Slayer etc with a bunch of people who live close to you with good connections and slowly work it back.

If all else fails and your host is as good as you think it is, get someone to force bridge you host and then only play in a full party with people who don't mind playing on your host. Must be MatchMaking though

I can't search with my doubles partner we believe we are both hostbanned so pretty sure 100%... I am on the girlfriends Xbox at present which never played Halo 3 really so not sure why the house ban would be on hers...

If I buy a new xbox which I need to anyway as mine is old and the disk drive is broke will that give me a new hosting record >>

Well I run around 58 Down and 2.5 to 3 Up on about 0.6/7 ping so I think that is pretty decent which Is why I don't think I should have been banned just cos people where quitting ...

  • gamertag: [none]

If you live in the US or UK then get the f *ck over it you whiney little b *tch. Playing off host isn't something to cry about when you are still greenbar.
