Just got this message and wondering what it's for? I have been quitting quite a few games today, would that be the reason?

Also, how long will it last for?

You might be better off asking this over at 343i forums. Without the stats updating here no one can look at you recent games. Plus you gt is not linked here so we could not guess as to way the reason is.

Getting 0 kills in matches will get you banned, 1st time ban is 24h.

You were banned for a reason, unknown to us. You'll have to take it up with the 343i in their forums at halo.xbox.com

Credit bans are the worst idea for a ban ever. Only barbie lovers will get mad over a credit ban.

I very rarely play Firefight. The only thing I can think is that I have quit a lot of games today.

Quitting games will only get you a MM "Timeout" not a credit ban.

I know! It will be my guest, he didn't get a kill.

Think of me, as the brother to caboose, i may sound like him, but i was able to pass kindergarten before quitting school

i find it rather funny that one could get banned for not getting any kills. AFK or not, what if... they sucked that bad, developers: "because you suck so bad and cannot get even 1 kill you shall be credit banned, thats right banned for sucking"

Players that cannot get 1kill in 4games deserve to banned. They're dragging their team down and giving the other team an easy game.

1. Stop caring about credits. They don't mean anything. You can still play the game.

2. Bungie has zero (0) control over Halo now. Go cry to 343.

Of course XBOX Live passed it off, because they have nothing to do with it. If you looked at the box, you should've figured that one out.

And Ill answer your question with a question. Did you AFK in anything? DId you have a guest that got zero kills?

If you answered yes to either of these, then you answered your own question.
