Subject: Is it against the rules to hide?

I've been hiding on Halo Reach since I've had it. I took a break from playing it and started to play it again about 2 months ago. Now within this past month I have been credit ban twice already and I do not understand why.. Was there a recent change where it made hiding against the rules? Also is there a way to see why exactly I was banned or to appeal it

And so God called Moses to come forth but he came fifth and was therefore disqualified.

You were banned because the game saw you as AFK.

  • 03.18.2012 10:08 PM PDT

in these games did you have any kills

  • 03.18.2012 10:08 PM PDT

Yeah, usually when I hide me and my friend we get the lead by 1-2 kills and when I hide I usually spin around, scope in and out, etc.. would the game still consider me to be afk?

  • 03.18.2012 10:10 PM PDT

imnot sure what could have caused it then

  • 03.18.2012 10:14 PM PDT

Is there anyone that I could contact to ask about the ban or appeal it

You deserve the ban for playing like a f.aggot

Whats the difference between playing for kills or hiding for fun..? Either way its for the entertainment of playing the game. I just enjoy hiding more.

Ignore him. He is either really tired or just got ran over.

Meh, I wont judge, it would frustrate me , but its fun at the same time, after all who doesnt like a challenge.

I have no idea on the ban, how long is it, if its short just wait it out, if its a decent time buy battlefield 1943 for teh lolz. If you somehow managed a permaban for that try contacting 343 or something...whoever runs the servers/customer support.

No one is going to lift the ban.

No ban has ever been lifted ever in the entire history of matchmaking bans.

While I was playing I got a message saying something like " You are temporarily ban from earning credits." The last ban I had was 24 hours I think.. so I think thats how long this one will last. I just dont want to keep getting ban, like I said this is the second ban this month.

  • 03.18.2012 10:31 PM PDT

Why do I deserve the ban? I did nothing wrong

  • 03.18.2012 10:33 PM PDT

If 343 has forums for halo or something similar I would ask over there.

You're ruining people's games. What's so hard to understand about that?

The homophobia in this thread disgusts me

OT: No idea, but next time try getting a couple kills before hiding.

  • 03.19.2012 10:22 AM PDT

I am open to friend requests

If your in trouble its fair enough to run, hiding is just noobish and cowardly

You can appeal your ban in the official thread located here.

Just a heads up: when you "hide" in a game, the game thinks that you're AFKing - or not playing the game as intended. Since you did this continuously for an extended period of time you're banned for it. You're ruining the matchmaking experience for others when you do this.

I am not the person to take this up with you, you can argue your side in the thread I linked above on the Halo Waypoint forums.

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.
