Can I get banned if I play matchmaking with my little sister? I am positive she won’t get a single kill and will likely just commit suicide multiple times. I am the max rank though so it can’t be considered boosting. So will I get banned?
No, only if she was sitting at idle over and over, or betrays over and over.
Nah, 90% of my teammates are only good at dying anyways so I don’t think it’s bannable.

Well when I play custom games she tends to through her grenades, shoot and look up as she walks into a wall.

At least she throws grenades.

If that were a bannable offense, nearly all of my teammates would be banned by now.
In Reach, a community member did tests and found that the game considers you AFK if you get zero kills during a match, with a few other unknown factors coming into play during objective matches. AFKing was punished with credit bans back then.
I don’t know enough to say whether this has changed for Halo 4, and I also don’t know what sort of ban might be applied to deter AFKing now that credits are gone. Better safe than sorry… Perhaps you could swap controllers with your sister halfway through the match, so that each player (main and guest) spends at least some time doing well and getting kills?

This. Well explained Sir David.

I’ve seen players post on here about getting XP banned after idling through a bunch of games. OP, since you’re SR-130, I don’t think an XP ban would be a big deal
