Last week my daughter and I where banned from earning credits. We were only playing with friends and only half of us were banned. We suspect a sore loser in our group for getting us banned. Why should we be banned at all if we were amongst friends, all playing the same together?? Why should we be banned so long when it's our first time ever to be banned?

Someone in your group wasn't getting kills so the banhammer thought you were boosting.

You'd only get banned if you guys weren't all playing. In other words, if some of you guys were AFK, you'd get banned.

  • 02.28.2012 8:53 AM PDT

We were all playing all the time.
Thanks though for the information.

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

If you were playing with a little girl and only friends, why not do a Custom Game?

  • 02.28.2012 10:04 AM PDT

My daughter is a teenager, not a "little girl" and all eight of us agreed to do matchmaking together but in party mode. We are not really into custom games.

I'm guessing the banhammer thought you were boosting. I don't really know though.


I hope other users don't hit on your daughter. Immaturity is everywhere here.

Forget it man, and get with the countdown. Shake this square world and blast off for Kicksville.

Reach host ranking algorithm: (a*quit_percentage + b*isMexican + c*(1/KDR) + d*hasGuest) * 100

Halo: Reach is the beginning of a new age for gaming.
It proves that developers can get away with punishing their players instead of fixing their game....and yet the fanboys will still sing praises to them.

-blam!- all of you fanboys!

Yeah, because being a -blam!- and assuming someone is guilty based off a -blam!--hole banning system is just so productive to the well being of the industry as a whole.

Siblings do exist.
Poor players do exist.
The likely hood of introducing someones to Halo multiplayer through matchmaking instead of a boring as 1v1 custom game...does exist.

So, stfu with yourselves.

I hope she is under-age, so you can all get a call from Chris Hansen.

Been here longer than you..

And have seen more than enough -blam!-s such as yourself always assuming someone is lieing when a topic such as this presents itself.

And, your stupid enough to assume that this banning system is making the right choice everytime.


Tell you what, Since you put so much faith into Bungies banning system. Let's put it in control of a real life justice system.

Innocent until "PROVEN" guilty. Ever heard of it?

0 kills =/= guilty
But that's all it takes for Bungies system to assume it.
And for you to promote it's decisions.


What happens if I join a game, and my entire team leaves me, they spawn camp me with a tank, and I don't manage to get a single kill in that game because of it.

Am I guilty? Of What? Not quitting?

Posted by: MR E0SOkay all great and mighty (idiot) of Bnet, how do you expect a system to tell if someone is AFK? The game doesn't track shots fired or movement (those can be easily countered by a rubber band fyi)

You are retarded.
Ow my sides.

I was gonna inb4 you, but oh well.

You need to pull multiple 0 kills, so where are you getting this from?

And as far as real life justice system is concerned, it's a VIDEO GAME. And their game none the less, not the US government's. So, their product, their rules. The great part of America.

Why do I care about if a system can tell an AFK player.

I can tell better than any system EVER could.

I don't need some behind the scenes math trying to handle a situation such as an AFK player for me.

Cause you know what I do when my team is full of AFK players? nothing. Unless it's working against me, then I quit.


You know what most other REAL FPS games do about AFK players?
Boot them after a certain amount of inactivity?

You know how many other REAL FPS games have people rubberbanding their controllers to avoid looking AFK?
NONE!...why is that?


For the same reason most people choose to play MM over customs. Because of stupid ass credit system.

Tell you what. If you would just let these people boost themselves to max credits, they'd finish up with their -blam!-ness and would no longer be affecting the rest of the population.

But instead you create these systems to insure that the losers spend as much time with us as possible.


No really, if these AFK boosters were to hit max credits. What then? A few things, they either move on to a new game. or actually start playing the game for once. Cause who the -blam!- is going to AFK for credits when there are no more credits to gain?

But no, lets go with the system that resets them, which in turn makes them spend a longer amount of time in the game.

Then, all you need to avoid looking AFK is to get 1 kill.

How long till they increase the filter to 1 kill?
How long till you get people coming into forums complaining about being banned because they only managed 1 kill?

At some point, the mods will realize I'm WAY past the amount of lols I'm allowed to say at you.

No one rubber bands in games like CoD because it's easier to run around shoot -blam!- and most exp is from kills and challenges (because you don't get much otherwise).

I actually did that in MW2 and BO because I wanted to stay in the party with my friends, but wasn't playing at the time. But I didn't use a rubber band.

And I remember my friends would do it often, as well.

Well to me it looks like your little griffball session that started with this game and ended 16 games later is a little suspicious. Each game was less than 3 minutes long, no one had more than 10 kills, at least one person went kill less in each game, and they were alternating 3-0 wins and losses.

You won't get banned for getting no kills in the occasional game, just alot of games in a shortish period of time.

Long story short.

You can't really introduce a new player to Halo Multiplayer by playing a 1v1 custom game.

It's nowhere near the same experience.

You could play a hundred 1v1 customs with that person and I think the likely hood of that person going 0 kills in multiple matches is still VERY LIKELY!

What this basically comes down to is a bunch of -blam!- elitest trying to say that only they are priviledged enough to be playing this game online. Because new players who suck ruin the game for them. So they do everything they can to chase new players away.

IF it was up to -blam!-s like you, anyone with a K/D less than 2.0 would be getting banned from matchmaking.
You doubt me?
