Unfortunately, as many know, the ban hammer is seriously flawed. But, what really pisses me off is the fact my friend got banned for simply playing doubles with me. Over a course of 20 something doubles games the other team quit the majority of the time,leaving Bungie's banhammer to believe we were host booting them. But rather, they were quitting out to create boosters, and yet they're not the ones being punished. Although, I understand Halo 3 is a shell of its former self, I know for a fact this issue has to be facing others when they're searching for a game. Leaving in the end, the cheaters to cheat, and the players, well to be banned.

tl;dr bungie bans legit players and leaves the cheaters to ruin Halo

Link to my stats: http://www.bungie.net/stats/playerstatshalo3.aspx?player=Hall ucination

Just click on some of my last games and you will notice two players in particular quitting out every game.

I'm listeni- Oh wait I don't give a -blam!- what you have to say.

How dumb do you think Bnet users are? ( Incredibly dumb but still ). Quitting out of games won't make a good booster, in fact it has no effect on it at all.

Clearly you actually were cheating. There are plenty of dorks just like you who break the rules because they don't want to lose in their precious little videogame, then get banned for it, and decide to come to Bnet and deny it to a bunch of people who don't give a crap anyway.

Shut up and enjoy your ban

LOL, what? This is funny because you're the actual idiot here. First of all if you took a second to read my thread, it says my "friend" was banned not me. Second of all, I don't need to cheat on Halo 3, never less low level doubles on an old game. Lastly, we were not the ones quitting out of games (as evidenced by my example link) the other team of boosters kept quitting out to derank.

Nice try, come again, but next time take a second to read the thread before posting ignorant garbage.

Did you not understand my post? Quitting does not, in any way, help make your account into a booster.

You're not the first person to come to these forums and try and cry his innocence so he gets his ban lifted. People do it all the time, but the one thing you all have in common is that you all actually did cheat, and now you're whining because you have to do something other than play Halo all day.

As for your 'friend' being banned, well you can pass the message onto this 'friend'. Although I'm quite sure that he already knows, since you're reading my post. Understandy??

Not much of an argument here, it's hard to have an argument with one that has no clue what he is talking about. And the only purpose of this thread is to point out how cheaters are getting legit players banned.

Take a step back with me and enjoy a taste of the bittersweet that is our current generation.

I enjoy Battlefield and Call of Duty, and Gears of War.

I love anything political.

This is incorrect. Quitting out against a party as a party guarantees a loss in trueskill and turns an account into a fortified booster. It seems you are actually the one lacking knowledge on the subject.

As for the OP, it looks like circle boosting to me, although from what I've heard it is no longer a bannable offense.

But I never said it didn't affect your rank. It just won't count as a loss on your record. Otherwise you would never match derankers searching 2's in doubles who actually let you win ( which I have many times ).

Good day chap!

Except we were not circle boosting, those were literally the only people we kept getting matched up with.

Why do you think people quit? It's because they're getting smacked. Seems like a common trend now in H3 since no one cares.

I definitely believe every wildly inflated claim ITT.

Weow kid, do you even lift?


Skype: au-simon

It happened to me too..

Me and a mate were playing doubles and we both got banned for a week because apparently we were "idle boosting". Achronos explained to me that idle boosting is where one player gets 0 kills and the other gets 25, so the person getting 0 kills is getting their rank illegitimately,.

I find it funny how we BOTH got banned for that, yet still came first every game? :S

Bungie RuNz improper bans!
