Subject: Why is there a mute ban?

Look I'm just being honest. You had to do SOMETHING. That's like cheaters getting on the forums and screaming about why they got banned for nothing.

Go play MLG for a day and then tell me that you only get warranted mute bans.

That's stupid. In MLG, everyone mutes the other team in lobby. So I go from MLG, to default playlists, and no-one can hear me.

Whoever designed that system is an idiot in my books.

Bungie, dropped the ball as far as intelligence was concerned when they designed Reach.


Because you're game developer and you know better right?

Bungie decided there weren't enough retarded bans in place.
Coming soon: the ban ban. If you get banned more than 3 times you get banned. If you get banned for being banned too much then you will get a fifth ban. Once you get banned 5 times, you get banned permanently.

Wonder what bungie thought when Microsoft came and banned them from making further halo titles ... must have been a mix of sweet excitement of a ban and disappointment of now being unemployed.


I'm sorry? lolwut, Bungie was tired of Microsoft's pushy money hungerness. MS din't ban Bungie, Bungie could have renewed their contract, but because they had plenty of money, compared to when they started they didn't need MS any more.

MS kepts trying to rush them to release the games, and thats why there was so much deleted content that was either left in the game or scraped entirely.

ODST and reach where games Bungie had to make, they had to make 6 games, and they did. They're contract was over and now they're free to do what ever they want.

Don't just assume that because someone else is taking over Halo that it was because of Bungie, they left because MS were greedy dicks.

Also, I find that the people that are muted, generally deserve it, other people can unmute you if they want, like I do. I did that to a few people last night, and all they did were sing or talk like the 8-12 year olds they are. Bans are in there for a reason.

It does it on MLG you have to mute all of the other team so they can't hear you, it's stupid.

Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

Gun, meet Bad Guy.
Bad Guy, this is Gun.

The annoying part about the mute ban for me is that, I find that when I unmute the player they are perfectly fine and what not, yet at the same time I could have someone playing music down the mic, screaming at me or others in their kiddy voice or simply replaying what I already know such as "Flag taken".

My friends all use a separate account for the MLG playlists and as do I because of that mute ban. They usually just mute the other team and we don't want our main accounts to be perma muted so we have a second account we don't care about.

This argument is very flawed for reasons I wont delve into in this thread.

I think mute bans are fine, since it does get most of the annoying players.

But, if people are blaming the MLG playlist for unnecessary mute bans...wouldn't most of them realize what they're causing by now?

'Team and party' in the voice comm. options. I know because it is the same for every playlist in Competitive, which MLG is a part of.

Actually it's in community.

What's a mute ban? Occasionally, when a match is found, there are a few players who are automatically muted and I have to unmute them individually. Are these mute ban?

  • 02.07.2012 1:35 AM PDT

I think the problem was Bungie had some faith in the intelligence of their fan-base. How wrong they were.. :(

Yes.

I m just OK with the mute ban. For me, it works as a warning: when I/we (my team) see muted ppl, chances are that its MLG-Hardcore-Annoying players that come to Team Slayer only to get on normal (aka: not that skilled, like me) players.
No offense.

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

Everyone in MLG mutes the other team so they can't hear them. Going into that playlist, you should be prepared to be muted. But if you were mute banned outside of MLG, then you deserve it for probably being annoying.

What does being a game developer have to do with intelligence?

The mute ban is there to remove thrash talkers. It works fairly well. Never have been mute banned, but so many people are/have.
