23 April, A.D. 2016 -
At 3:00 PM central standard time, I was placed on a 10 minute suspension from Arena matchmaking. When I searched my Halo Waypoint game history for basis of the online ban, I was perplexed to reason why the ban-hammer struck at only Arena matchmaking and not Warzone matchmaking for this week. Below I have provided all of the matches I left prematurely during the month of April thus far:
In the last 24 hours (DNFs) -

In the month of April alone, I have accumulated two custom game DNFs, eight Arena DNFs, and eighteen Warzone DNFs for a grand total of twenty-eight DNFs. I have been banned from Arena matchmaking thrice; and I have yet to be suspended from Warzone matchmaking. In Halo 5, are there not two separate systems to monitor, and dispense punishment for Arena and Warzone matchmaking player infractions? If this is the case, then do the two systems deal sentences on different scales, instead of an universal judgment? I would like these questions to be answered by the proper authorities for this matter.
