So you read on here where people are banned and come back to Bungie screaming and crying, "U GUYZ R SEW WRONG I R GONZ HIT ALL OF BUNGEI OFF LIEN." That is not this type of post. My account has 13 total games played of matchmaking, and got a one week ban for my whole console.
As you can see, we face one group of the same derankers who quit out before the game starts Here, here, and here.
We then face another group of derankers who do the same thing here, here, here, here, here, here, and finally here.
After all of these annoying boosters, my friend got on another account in hopes that we could avoid finding derankers, and get a legit game... We had no such luck. We got matched up with a guy who host booted us here and here. Brenker not only host booted us, but also sent us messages confirming it.
You say to yourself, "Zekrom, that's not thirteen games? You must have gotten banned for doing something shady the other three!" You are perceptive, but mislead. We got three legit games, two of which we won here and here. One of which we lost, here.
So riddle me this, Bungie, 343, or whoever out there is actually listening, is this not a directly accurate portrayal of the Halo you have let hang to die? Where host booters and -1000 derankers have every say in how the game is run, but the true fans who love the game are left alone to be mere pawns in their game. Any true Halo fan will know exactly what I mean, and as for you Bungie, I just hope you read this and realize what you have let this pulse of your community come to. Thanks for reading. -Zekrom

i have to admit, 10/13 games with derankers is very odd...

just play another playlist?

Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood.
-George S. Patton

Interesting...

It's because we were so low level. And we thought about changing playlists, but we had no friends online, and I'd prefer the derankers on the other team quitting than on my team killing me.

This is how we know if Bungie or 343 has given up on halo 3 - If they are enforcing rules and the banhammer on Reach but not Halo 3. If they are enforcing only on Reach, that pretty clearly indicates to me that they are trying to kill Halo 3.

Why in the hell would they be putting any effort into it? The game is four years old, not to mention they pretty much have nothing to do with support for Reach. Banning AFKs, yeah, but other than that they're focused on their new IP. Either play Reach to keep up with the times or stop playing altogether.

I disagree with you there, chubz. I think that yes, their priority may be Reach, but they aren't trying to get people to only play Reach. If they wanted that, they would just.. I don't know.. shut off the servers?

I'm out.

U Mirin?

Why don't you do any work on your chest or legs or something? You look like a cartoon character.

More proof bungie is retarded. There are more people deranking in this game than there are people playing legitimately.

Ban derankers, bungie. Any account with negative EXP should be automatically banned, any account that has absurd loss ratios or goes immensely negative game after game should be banned, and any account that quits out of games constantly should be banned.

Except they don't have the time/resources to devote to maintaining a game with, let's face it, a MINIMAL population. I'm sure they'd love to to do it, but if they could we'd still see H2 online.

Chubz, I think you didn't catch what I was saying. I was saying if they didn't have the time/resources to devote to H3, they would just shut down the servers. I think they still recognize it as being played by many people, but have left it out to die.

"A hero need not speak,for when he is gone the world will speak for him."

Actually the only reason H2 went offline is becasue Microsoft shut down ALL xbox original online support.

SkankFlick, in no way did I ask for Bungie to undo my ban. And whether you think they are "tryna dead" H3 or not, it's irrelevant to the post. If you are such a Reach fan, there is a whole other section of game forums for you to troll. Thanks for reading :)

Don't expect much from anyone, nobody maintains this game anymore. I love Halo 3, but it's full of hackers and derankers these days.
