Subject: Console temporarily banned?

I got a message that my console was temporarily banned for trying to get the new halo reach achievements? My friend and I plugged in our controllers (4) so we can get this achievements. I'm not gettings this achievments legitly for two reasons. 1) I'm an achievment whore and I have to have 1000 on every game. 2) I play multiplayer to have fun, not to try and go for achievments.

Halo bans you from earning credits if you boost with AFK guests. Full party boosting is heavily frowned upon in the banhammer's eyes and will result in credit bans, and maybe more.

I don't care about my multiplayer rank or credits or any of that -blam!-. I am a strong believer that games should not have multiplayer achievements. The only reason I'm asking about how long i'm banned is that I like unlocking new outfits for my spartan and I can't do that when i'm credit blocked. Who gives a -blam!- about ranks anyways? It doesn't mean your better it just means you spent wayyy too much time playing. How are you seriously going to ban be for going for achievements?

I guess you guys didn't understand. I boosted the achievements so I don't have to go after them in real matches. THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY ONLINE ACHIEVEMENTS!!! It affects online multiplayer too much. Right now go anniversary or primum battle and random people are yelling out to pick a certain gametype or map to get achievements. I ran into 3 people playing tonight that were asking players on the other team to help them with certain achievments. ARE YOU SERIOUS? I get banned by boosting the achievements with a friend by ourselves, not bothering anybody. And I had 3 guys ask me to join their parties and help them get the armor lock achievement? Why don't they get banned? They are affecting online gameplay and ruining online matches. I purposely boosted them by myself so I wouldn't affect anyone else's games.

I see where Bungie and now 343i are going with this but it doesn't work. It's easier for them to just ban everybody that looks like their boosting instead of going through every game to look if they were boosting or not. I don't blame them or anyone else I just wish there was a different banning system involved or they get rid of the online achievements all together.

I will enjoy my two week ban. I now have all the achievements in Halo Anniversary and only two more in Halo reach. Then I have Skyrim and Battfield 3 waiting for me. Once I get the next two achievements I don't plan on picking Reach up again unless friends want to play. Gawd... I miss the old Halo 2 & 3 community.

Here's the thing. The banhammer doesn't know you're boosting achievements, all it see's is you w/ 6 afk guests boosting which is a bannable offense.

BTW this quoted from the Microsoft code of conduct

Don't intentionally play with someone who is using unauthorized software or methods to help inflate your game rank or gamerscore.

So be happy that 343i banned you and not microsoft banning your GT from xbox live completely.

I guess I will be thankful, but what are your thoughts on online achievements?

  • 11.18.2011 10:03 PM PDT

Checked this morning and i'm still cR banned. So I guess it's longer than a day.

You and your friend both had three AFK Guests, the Banhammer detected this, therfore you recieved a ban. Maybe you will learn your lesson. If you are going to do something like this in the future, make sure to get your Guests a kill or two.

  • 11.19.2011 11:20 AM PDT

ya but did you read my arguments though? My friend and I did this with guests by ourselves so we wouldn't affect matchmaking games by purposely going for them.

It does not matter. The Banhammer is an automatic system, you broke the rules and you got a ban. Sorry, nothing can be done.

How are you affecting matchmaking by going for the achievements? That's why the achievements are there.. for you to go for them.

  • 11.19.2011 11:30 AM PDT

They affect matchmaking by people asking the other team to help out with achievements and the other team actually helps. That's how it affects matchmaking. It also is affected by me either choosing, help team get kills/plan bomb or fly around with a jetpack the whole match attempting to get the jetpack achievement? It affects the game by people going for achievements and not playing to win.

  • 11.19.2011 11:37 AM PDT

So every time you ask the other team to help out they're going to do it? Nope.

You're making excuses for why you boosted, the achievement are there for people TO GO FOR THEM.. They want you to go for the "jetpack achievement" you don't have to negatively effect MM while going for the achievements, you're just making it out to be like that.

Anniversary: Perform a Beat Down on an enemy player while using the Jetpack during a matchmade game.

Wouldn't you be helping out your team getting a kill while doing that?

Anniversary: Stick and kill the flag carrier with a Plasma Grenade in a matchmade game.

Wouldn't you be helping out your team by saving a flag cap by the other team?

Yeah again stop making excuses why you boosted them, you're just not good enough to get them in MM legit so you had to boost them.

Good luck? There is no option to delete your threads. Go ask a Forum Ninja to lock it if you want this thread to be closed so much?

PS: He is not a troll? He is just trying to explain to you what the truth of the matter is, and he is losing his patients because you do not seem to get it.

Come on I thought you were going to come back with another excuse.

Don't call me a troll because I pointed out the truth, you're just mad someone actually came up with a valid argument to you and now you don't know how to respond to it.

  • 11.19.2011 12:10 PM PDT

No troll. I have better things to do than arguing. Let me ask you this, why boost in the first place? Higher rank doesn't = higher skill? It's not halo2/3 where rank actually means something. I don't care what rank I am, I've beaten inheritors 1v1 before and that proves rank doesn't mean anything in this game. It doesn't mean anything in call of duty, gears of war (used to mean something), and now halo (used to mean something also). I'm tired of babies whining and complaining they can't get to the highest level because they suck. AND i'm tired of game companies rolling over and producing games that please the masses instead of the REAL gamer.

Why are you asking me this? You're the one who's boosting... And when did rank ever come into the conversation, we were talking about achievements.

Now your trying to change the conversation to something else lol
