Subject: C'mon Bungie... Chat Ban Really???

Them Damn Quest Wun Boyz!

Ok Bungie I'm hoping to get an explanation here.. I apparently have been chat banned by Bungie as Microsoft tells me they didn't do it. I have been banned for over a month now and cannot hear nor talk in match making unless in a private chat. Bungie has given me no message nor an explanation of how long this ban will remain or what needs to be done to have it removed. This makes me really sour with future support of Bungie or 343 Industries. The main reason I own a 360 is for HALO from Combat Evolved to Reach by looking at my gamer profile it's obvious we support the Halo franchise. All I'm asking Bungie is an explanation and when the ban can be lifted. Thanks!!! An angry consumer... Quest Wun

Profain?? Ya that's possible, we all have had our moments with someone at some point, but... There should be a warning given, I pay for the game, I pay for the service of live...I play in the " underground" all of that is irrelevant though, it's a game and EVERYONE talks smack. That's just competitive fun gaming.

I do not talk smack. I do not like profanity.

  • 12.22.2011 7:46 AM PDT

Mute ban is crap. Hope it will be gone in the next one.

Your presence here is quite unneeded. Begone you!!!

Well do the following that won't result in you being muted:

1)Fix your mic
2)Quit playing s*** on your mic to annoy others
3)Quit talking crap and then your voice won't be wiped from the face of gaming

I can't believe how stupid microsoft is... THEY (343i aka microsoft) are running Halo now and they still tell people to come here to complain about stuff even though Bungie has nothing to do with Halo anything. Bungie can't do anything for you, 343i forums is where you need to go for this, but they wont do anything about it.

You can only blame the kids playing Reach who don't know about the audio settings and decide to mute the other team instead.

I dont understand the game chat muting. I can mute annoying squeakers and racist -blam!- talkers my self. Beyond that, the only communication complaints worth filing.are unsolicited text and voice communications asking microsoft points, and from people that are angry they lost, or sore winners.

Make sure your settings aren't muted, do you actually see people with mics? Or do you just never hear them talk.

If you are actually mute banned, either yourself, or your mic is at fault. There is a weighting system in place, so people who mute a-lot do not count very much towards a mute ban. That means that enough individual players (who don't have a tendency to mute very often) muted you. Keep in mind, it wouldn't just be a few games this happened in, it would be if you are doing something almost every time you played for a length of time. Or maybe arena or mlg, I hear everyone mutes people with mics in those.

The most common causes are you being annoyingly loud and obnoxious, being a screaming 'squeaker', playing music through the mic, or trash-talking. Or, it could be your mic if you are using a kinect mic (which echos and sounds like you are in a fish tank), or it causes buzzing or screeching noises.


While Bungie may have created the system, no one at Microsoft should have told you to take it up with them, as they do not run Halo any more. A subsidiary of Microsoft's gaming division (343 Industries) is in control of that, it is them you would have to have rescind any type of ban.

Gotta agree on that

I curse like a sailor, and I'm not mute banned. Unless you are doing it in every single pre-game and post-game lobby, I can't see just cursing causing you to get mute banned.

I'm curious how you haven't heard the news that Bungie has no control over any of Halo. To quote the top of your reply screen:

Bungie is no longer managing the Halo Universe. While our Halo-related forums and stats remain available, be advised that "official" answers and support about the Halo Universe (past, present, or future) are not.

Sounds like you should check your audio settings.


The mute ban will simply mute you towards other people, it won't prevent you from hearing them.




If that isn't the case I may know what it is (sorta).

It only lasts around a month. Chill.

  • 12.22.2011 10:33 AM PDT

Two makes there more than speakers.

People are too lazy to mute others themselves so Bungie has to cater to them.

Hello! I'm a male!

Bungie has no control over it anymore. Go ask 343 Industries (Microsoft's Halo branch) to remove mute bans from Halo: Reach and fix it.

  • 12.22.2011 10:40 AM PDT

The Mute ban is retarded. What was Bungie thinking?
