Hi. This is my first post at the Maw. I've had Halo for about two years now, but it hasn't worked on my laptop for about 6 months until I reinstalled windows. Anyway...to my point.

It really bugs me to try to find a game on xfire. I was playing with my brother the other day and I went to 3 different severs, all marked with something to the effect to join the game. I went into each game and immediately got banned! It's very frustrating. I look forward to hopefully playing with some of you guys, since I've been lurking the maw for awhile and everyone seems pretty cool. Later.

Could be you had extremely high ping, which ruins game play for others. Do you use dial-up to connect?

Nope, I'm on a T3 connection. Some people just don't like me I guess. I mean that I join, and then I'm banned 2 seconds later. It's not like we're playing and then they ban for lag.

If only everyone were as skilled as you, we wouldn’t need to dedicate so many resources as we do to stopping cheaters. Players that can sense when their opponent is reaching for the standby button and can then kill them to dust is the wave of the future.

when you joined did it go black and close the game or closed it like the samething but after like 2 mins or something like that because that is happening to me I thought that it was because I was pressing T as soon as I joined the game to talk to people. but then it didnt kick me right away and I was about to send a message but then read it and desided not to.

" Why do I get kicked out everytime I press T "
not the smartest message because I pressed T twice :)

what is your name because maybe they are banning us because of our name
EA doesnt like my name so now I cant play xbox live on any EA games. they should put a warnning when you sign up for xbox live that says " WARNING: EA will ban you from ever playing any of their games because of a inapproprate gamertag "

I still have 8 months left and cant play my EA games.....Stupid EA you cant even type the word pizza in burnout revenge

It would take longer then 2 seconds to type in the command to ban someone so I don't think it's the admins. Do you have a legal copy of Halo? Thats the only reason I can think that you would be banned right away.

A T3? How is that possible?

I'm on a college campus, that's how :). (Or maybe it was T1....the tech guys here contradict each other.) We're cool like that. No, my name is NinjaJosh when playing. It's not a problem on every server, just people apparently wanting a private room but who are too stupid to change the name of the room. By two seconds, I don't mean literally, I mean that I can walk a few paces and then get banned. Message: The operator has banned you from this server or some such. I just need good servers to play on. Topic is more of a conversation starter than I though. And yes, I have a completely legal copy.
