Riverside23: For all the women of the group, if you've got a real man at least let him have his big piece of chicken.

WhtButterflyLiz: lol. Bring home bigger chikkinz, then, real man!!!

Of course these bans are avoidable. DON'T COMMIT THE OFFENSE! Lol. Geez, I've never once had the thought cross my mind, "I wanna do this one thing in Halo, but it could get me banned. I'm so mad." Just play the game you damn fools.

The AFK ban can target you for just having a few lousy matches. The quit ban can target you through game errors and poor physics. The mute ban is OBVIOUSLY easily abused and PROVEN to be easily abused. SO WHY IS IT STILL IN THIS F.UCKING GAME?! And Bungie is too cowardly to even address it! You are a stupid idiot for blindly sucking Bungie's dick! Fanboy!


Nobody is THAT bad to get AFK banned for having "just a few lousy matches". I've had my fair share of game errors (disc read failures booting me to dashboard) and I've never had a quit ban. I run my mouth just as much as the next guy and I haven't been mute banned. You REALLY need to be asking for it to recieve any of these punishments.

Lol! These comments make me laugh. Tells me plenty about what you're packing between the ears.

There was a member that was AFK banned in EIGHT TOTAL games. The mute ban was proven to be easily abused in the beta and the quit ban is just common sense. You can not regulate human behavior. Period. These bans do more harm than good.

AND BUNGIE CAUSED THE AFKING! LOL!!! They really caused all the problems with their outdated matchmaking, but that's for a future argument.


You cannot regulate human behavior?! HAHAHAHAHA! You try that argument out when you get arrested. Or when you get refused service at a business. Or when you get reprimanded at work. Or, I guess more relevant to you, taken to the principal's office. Hysterical.

Bungie caused people to go AFK? Urk showed up at their door, knocked them unconscious, then forced them to stay in games while they're knocked out? Well that's just tragic. You're very funny.

Arresting people for smoking pot will not stop people from smoking. People will not play games they do not want to play, nor should they have to. Period. If you try and force them to stay, they will ruin the game for you, which harms us all. Period.


Hahahaha what? I have no clue what tangent you just went off on. Don't want to play a game? Then don't. Duh. Nobody is forcing you to. If you're talking about not being allowed to quit games, you're wrong on so many levels. You're allowed a certain amount of quits. If you're quitting out of enough games to get banned from quitting, then stop getting in the games! Duh! Find a different playlist, find a different game. Nobody is forcing you to get in games.

You're so funny.

Oh, your bio is about bans too?! LOL! Plot twist.

Do you realize how wrong you are? No one is forcing me into games? THE GOD DAMN MATCHMAKING LOCKS ME IN THE GAME BEFORE I EVEN SEE IT! So how am I not forced in?! Are you really THIS stupid?!


LOL! You know when you press the A button to 'Start Matchmaking'? Yeah, you make that election. Crazy concept.

"I CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR MY ACTIONS!!" LOL! Give yourself some credit. You have a lot of control over your circumstances.

So, your solution to avoiding crappy games is to not play the game?

Sorry, I care to progress in the world. Time to leave the tard logic behind. Give me control over what game and map I play, give me team mates on my level, give me fully customizable controls and give me vehicles that don't have such piss poor physics!


Play within the rules of the system you want to use, or find a different system. Custom games would give you everything that you're wanting, assuming you have the friends or community to do that. If you don't have the resources to do something you want, you gotta learn to play within the rules defined by someone that does. Care to progress in the world? Learn how markets function.

Custom matchmaking would have made this game awesome. However, I'd rather make the game better for everyone, so I'll continue to push these superior solutions. Why are you against them, again? Blind fanboyish faith to Bungie or you just can't admit when you're wrong?


Lol! So you don't like the owner of the game's solutions, but you'd just as soon support your own and force them upon everyone? Hahahaha, somebody thinks highly of themselves.

Why do you think this is a right or wrong situation? The system is in place. I don't have to like it to live with it, and neither do you. Neither side is right wrong. I know that its easier for you to classify this as one or the other, but its not a black and white situation. Again, you say you want to progress? Time to take the steps.

If your behavior puts you in position to fall victim to these measures, you might want to try a little introspection. I don't know anyone who has had a problem with these bans. Helps that I associate with an older and wiser class of person.

I love how anything in opposition to a position here is "blind fanboyish faith to Bungie". Go fish.

If my solutions are superior ones, yes.

Let's see. In one system you get locked in with random players to play a random match. In mine you play exactly what you want, how you want and with competent players. Which sounds better?

No one harmed by the bans? Have you seen the population? The truskill? The horrible team mates? Oh...you must be one of them...No wonder you're so naive. The mute ban was proven to be easily abused in the beta and now full release. The AFK was proven to go off kills alone and could ban players that had a few bad games and the quit ban is bound to happen eventually due to all the poor networking, physics and piss poor betrayal system. It also forces me to stay in unfair and unfun games that everyone would much rather me quit out of.

It is when you're defending a far inferior product to defend a company's incompetence...

Haha. Too easy. Didn't even need my bong hit.


Hahahaha, I bet a lot of people put you in charge of making very important decisions. You have super logic and superior decisions! I mean, look, your solution will always give you exactly what you want against competent players! And I'm sure its super cost effective and efficient. How has Bungie, or any other game developer, not offered you buckets of money?!

I'm not saying anyone isn't harmed by bans. But don't step on train tracks if you're worried about the train hitting you. I don't know anyone that has been mute banned. If it is so inaccurate and abusable, wouldn't one of them have been hit with it? I'm subject to the same networking you all are, and have had my issues with disc failure, how have I not been quit banned?

Really, quit acting so defenseless. You have plenty of control over your circumstances. Bungie isn't some ruthless dictator randomly swinging its authority around. I'm not defending anything. I'm saying I'd rather have folks try a little introspection before they start pointing to the institution as the source of their problems. I'm all about personal responsibility.

But you go ahead and hit your bong and get pissed about The Man trying to keep you down.

Funny, Call of Duty has no problem with quitting or AFKing, and they didn't need a ban to achieve this. You basically proved my point for me even further.

You don't seem to understand. We both want the same thing. We don't want quitters, we don't want people to AFK, we can stop this WITHOUT BANS! No one has to be innocently banned! The population doesn't have to be plummeted! The game can be so much better!

How can anyone honestly be against this without being a blind fanboy?!


You can't compare apples to oranges. Halo and Call of Duty have different systems in place because they have different styles of play and different target markets/appeals. Simply saying, "Call of Duty does X, why can't Halo?!" is lazy.

Halo shouldn't adopt a superior feature? How about they get with the times like every other major release and start updating the game? I see you're running out of arguments. This is just getting sad. Just walk away with some dignity.


Again, its not a superior feature. Quit trying to simplify things.

Anyway, why would Bungie want to "get with the times" and "update the game" when every attempt to do so is met with the vitriol that every new feature does? That bong must have some awfully silly affects on your memory.

How is giving people more control over their gaming experience and keeping matches fair not superior? You really have no argument. You've lost.


Hahahaha, you sure you haven't hit that bong? You are all over the place. You have plenty of control over your experience, and a quit ban prevents a player from subjecting another group to their quitting tendencies.

And stop with the, "YOU LOST!!!" stuff. Its silly. I assume you're not a child. No need to act like one.

Halo: Reach is the beginning of a new age for gaming.
It proves that developers can get away with punishing their players instead of fixing their game....and yet the fanboys will still sing praises to them.

-blam!- all of you fanboys!

For those of you too stupid to figure it out on your own.


You are playing with random people over the internet.

People have different perferences.
Some feel very strongly about what they feel like wasting time on.

As the guy said.

Halo's MM system locks a person into a room before they have any information on that room.

The only control they have over that...is to choose 1 stupid playlist out of many...and hope that the majority of idiots don't vote for the stupid gametype.

Take me for instance...
BTB is the only playlist that contains what I want to play....

BUT WHAT I WANT TO PLAY IS BURIED BY MANY MANY MANY OTHER GAMETYPES THAT I DON"T LIKE!

This is why quitting is an issue.
You are forcing people to play stupid -blam!- that they don't like....CONSTANTLY! Because of the lame playlists/voting system.

How many times must a person suck it up and play what YOU voted for before they are finally given a pass and the freedom to quit from it every time it comes up?

People say quitting because of map/gametype is selfish?

You don't have the first -blam!- clue what selfish is.

Here's selfish for you:

Forcing people day in and day out to play amongst stupid people who play stupid gametypes because of a stupid voting system..and if they don't like it you ban them.

I'll say it again..if CoD has enough brains to add the ability to replace a dropped player because they realize you're playing with random people over the interent who have different views on what they find enjoyable...WTF is this franchises excuse?!?

Oh and look at that...Does CoD make stupid playlist that bury different gametypes into a single playlist with each other??? NO!

They are actually smart enough to seperate playlist by gametype...instead of some lame ass theme that you came up with...

Action Sack....WHAT A -blam!- JOKE OF A PLAYLIST!
Same for BTB...its insulting the way Bungie treats their online community

I can tell you right now...at least 50% or more of the population of any FPS game will default to playing the most basic TEAM SLAYER gametype.

Look at my gaming history... 90% of my games..are team slayer gametypes. Not the Multi-Flag CTF game that "I" wanted to play.

Thank you for letting the majority tell me what I should be playing. And trying to ban me for using the only tool left to me to influence my time spent online.
