Subject: Banhammered - Bungie or 343i?

just got a console ban - I've been abusing Grunts on Firefight for the last few days because of the 5x bonus so I guess that's the cause. But who wields the banhammer at the moment? If 343i are changing the rules, but Bungie aren't updating the autobot, it puts us in an awkward position.

Are Bungie/343i able to sort this out, or will I have to live with 2 weeks of no cR until 343i take over at the end of the month?

lolnope.

343 wields the ban hammer now. Bungie no longer has control over Halo. Go here...

Bungie doesn't have anything to do with Halo anymore. Anything that happens is in 343's hand.

Anyone who claims the AR takes skill ought to shoot himself in the head. Preferably with the AR because they'll most likely miss with any other weapon.

I've been abusing Grunts on Firefight for the last few days because of the 5x bonus so I guess that's the cause.


There was a 5x bonus?!

"abusing grunts" does not sound like a bannable offense to me...

The banhammer belongs to Bungie. It may even be copyrighted. 343i has control over everything Halo. A console ban comes from Microsoft.

2 week cr ban is AFKing. I think.

there's no such thing as unearned credits in firefight as long as you haven't been exploiting/etc. ...really?

Wait, what..?

I have over 700,000 kills in firefight, a lot of them grunts and I have never been banned. Sounds like you did some afking/challenge resetting or something else.
