Subject: I actually didnt cheat but got banned for 1 week!

Im not a regular on here but im guessing alot of people probably post topics about how they where unfairly banned and they didnt cheat swear on their mothers grave blah blah blah! Im doing just that!! I DID NOT CHEAT!! haha

I dont play alot of halo or xbox at all for that matter but had the urge lately to jump on while the girlfriend is at work (its the only time I can without whinging in my ear!) and play some Halo 3 with an old mate.

Well anyway I was playing a couple nights ago in team doubles and we kept getting paired up with two or three different teams who would either quit out while in lobby waiting for the game to load, or somehow lag us out. Either way we gained no levels from it and checking our exp we didnt seem to get any aswel. Every now and then though we would get a different team and would play a game, during one of the games i got a message saying my console had been banned for one week.

Like i said before I DID NOT CHEAT!! im guessing though I was banned somehow because of the teams who kept quiting before the game even started. Now is there anyway to get un-banned? Or is it just best to wait out the week? My only concern is that if something like this happens again I get banned for longer or permanently. Is their some way to clear my name?

cheers guys!

Have a good day. ;)

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

Dude... you're an idiot. I looked through the first page your game history, and I'll explain to you why you were banned:

You language boosted doubles with two players called 'Doubles Only' and 'Doubles OnIy'. You matched them for 3 or 4 games, then you searched legit for one game in hope of resetting the skill system, then language boosted with them for another 3 or 4 games. Rinsed and repeated.

I don't even think this works but still, your ban was rightfully recieved and complaining about it isn't going to make a difference. You'll just have to wait it out, and don't be a cheating f.aggot next time.

Cheers man just go ahead and swear at me calling me a cheater. Im not admitting to it because I DID NOT CHEAT. Yeah thats exactly who we kept getting matched up with, another team aswel who kept quitting. But I dont know them and did not on purpose try to match up with them. I dont even know how you do that and not sure what you mean by language boosting. We would get matched up with them and then while on lobby they would just disappear, the game would start and end strait away so we searched again. How hard is it to believe that we kept getting matched with the same people? This happens to me ALL THE TIME. Maybe because i live in Australia it limits me to certain people that I can connect to??

  • 07.24.2011 5:36 AM PDT

Mate if I was circle boosting and got banned I would not even bother coming on here to complain. I did not cheat so Im not going to admit to it. We where matched up time and time again legit. This happens all the time when im playing, doesnt matter what play list. How hard is it to believe that someone out there can get matched up with the same team a few times in a row and get banned when they wernt doing anything wrong??

Isnt there some way bungie can check that I have never had these people on my friends list or been in a loby with them ever??

you boosted, end of conversation
you are the reason i barely go on these forums, they're full of whiney little kids saying they didn't boost when really the evidence is right there, boosting also shows you must have very low skill level as you can't do anything legit, enjoy the ban.

  • 07.24.2011 6:16 AM PDT

Nah man not end of conversation. See if cheated id cop the punishment on the chin. But im innocent and have a problem with no one even considering the possibility of it and lying down taking the ban when it is not deserved.

I don't even hardly play my xbox at all mate. In the past year I prob havnt even racked up 30 games. Fair enough if I cant get the account unbanned, but I am innocent and would appreciate if people at least admitted that I could of been banned unfairly and that you can be matched up with same team several times in a row.

Im unclear how alot of the cheating in halo works, is there some benefit to the team who keeps quitting out? Oh Im 23 mate btw, not to sure what age you consider people to still be kids :/

Looked over my stats and yeah at first it does actually seem sus. But has anyone actually looked at the games for the guys that keep quitting out??

They have almost -500exp!! They have been playing games and quitting out non stop for days! They where quitting out of games right before we first got paired up with them and then constantly quitting out again strait after I played my last game and there was no break!! Surely if I had made some sort of deal with these guys to circle boost there would be some sort of break longer then a minute between games! It looks like they have some sort of setup where they automatically quit out, either that or they have no life....

  • 07.24.2011 7:11 AM PDT

its obvious you cheated kid. do you honestly think you were banned for no reason?

  • 07.24.2011 7:57 AM PDT

Go away man, id like some reply's from some people who have actually read my post's especially the one right before yours.

Probably older then you ya little pimple faced twat, so everyone could stop using the word kid please? cheers :)

Look dude, out of the 17 dubs games on your first page, you got paired up with the same people 10 times. I'm Aussie and that has never happened to me.

It doesn't matter if you cheated or not, those stats are right there for everyone to see, and it is VERY unlikely that your ban will be lifted. Just wait it out, a week isn't that long.

  • 07.24.2011 8:22 AM PDT

Yeah im going to wait it out. But if the ban wont be lifted, would be nice if people would at least admit that its possible that we could not have been cheating. Its quite easy to see we weren't cheating just by looking at how many games consecutively the other guys where quitting out of.

Well they may have been language boosting for others as well. Not saying you did cheat, tbh I don't care, but with stats like that it's no wonder you got banned. Sh.it happens.
