Subject: Settings Reset, Banned for no reason, and other Bungie Classics.

To the [Mythical] Complaint Department:

So I was playing Reach yesterday and made quite a few ridiculous TK's. Every one of them I was booted on the first offense despite me killing enemies in the same shot. I threw grenades up in the air onto a wraith killing the guy getting into it, but the wraith blew up killing the team mate after him. That kinda BS. So I was banned for 15 minutes for "leaving too many games". I went to bed.

I got home from work today and started playing and noticed all my settings were reset. I had to change my controller settings back, I had to change my armor settings, etc. Irritating. I started playing and didn't get any team kills today. I started up a game just a few minutes ago and the map loaded and went into the game. I waited forever for it to start despite everyone being green bar. The game popped on for half a second and then went back to a black screen saying "Starting Game". After 5 more minutes, the game cut back to the main menu and low and behold... I'm banned for another 15 minutes.

So I wanted to take my time to come whine with all the other 12yo scrubs because I'm just tired of this jazz. I seriously hope they find a better alternative for this in Halo 4 as the current ban system is super potato. Now that I have wasted 15 minutes typing this I am going to try to play again.

No point, this is lol Reach a game that doesn't know what good host is.

You know why the complaint department is mythical?

Its because youre in the wrong place. HERPADERP!

Seriously though, maybe you should blame you and your XBOX before pointing the finger at someone else? Controller schemes arent saved on any server.

I got booted for getting a collateral on a teamate and enemy, pissed me off so much.

Well. first of all... Wrong place? This is the Reach forums. Can you explain to me where this should be posted?

Second of all. Tested connection. It works fine. Speedtest.net confirms this. All settings automatically set by DHCP via the router and there is no IP conflict. Ports are open, NAT is open.

As for the controller schemes, it isn't stored on the servers. Good job on figuring that out. But how could I, without touching the said Xbox lose settings for my armor and my controller scheme? Hmm. Maybe faulty coding??

Yea. I'll continue pointing fingers. You go ahead and keep under that bridge. Maybe the Billy Goats Gruff will be around soon.

Alright kid, you aren't going to like what you're going to read, and I'm probably falling your troll bait, but hell, I'm down for a bit of fun.

Halo Waypoint. Or did you miss it?
Bungie is no longer managing the Halo Universe. While our Halo-related forums and stats remain available, be advised that "official" answers and support about the Halo Universe (past, present, or future) are not.

OK, next point

Or maybe it's because there was a load error with your files? Or maybe you didnt sign into XBOX Live right away? Password protected sign-ins can sometimes cause bad load on configs. But, OK, carry on.

Just remember, one finger at one person is 4 fingers back at you.

Digging Foxholes by Profession
Accept No Substitutes

Yeah, I'll agree, it's not perfect.

I was playing Invasion at my friend's the other day, and a banshee came down and splattered two of my team and one of the driver's team in the same roll. I then HEARD his character die as I saw he was booted from the game. I jetpacked up on top of the building and his banshee became my banshee.

But it was still stupid. I dislike it when people kick at the first attempt.

Anonym0us. He plays Bungie games and doesn't afraid of anything.

90s FTW!

Wow that sounds like a trip. Sorry man, hope you have better luck in the future.

Remember though, they can fix the system, but they can't fix stupid.

I hate the booting system. My advice to you... quit Reach and play Halo 3 instead.

Most of us are aware of the positions of teammates. I would suggest holding your fire/ explosives when a teammate is near then. Most people can go ages without a single betrayal. If you're getting quit banned, you're betraying and therefore being booted a LOT. Stop doing that and you'll never have the issue.
