Hi I was playing a game of Halo: Reach with a few of my friends on forge building a new map when suddenly I left the game. A message on the screen appeared and said “You have been banned from Halo: Reach online forever.” I have zero clue what I did and I really want to play this game online again.
have you modded on halo reach?
Sucks to suck. You probably deserved the ban. The banhammer is rarely wrong. If you’re actually innocent, pop 343 a message. If you were modding, don’t waste their time.
Good afternoon
Looking through your game history, I noticed that you play Grifball alot. I’ve also taken notice that there are some Grifball games where you have no kills, so either you were banned for repeated AFC/AFKing by the game’s automated system standards (Zero Kills by the game standards equals AFC/AFK), or the game’s systems banned you for cR boosting (Earning too many credits in a short amount of time).
Since this seems like an automated ban, did you have credit bans before? Also keep in mind that this is not reversible. If you use another account to play Halo: Reach Grifball, a tip of advice: If the opposing team is AFK, get at least one kill before scoring. Also try to switch up to other game types or taking a break if you earned a large amount of cR in a short amount of time.
Hope this helps and have a nice day.

There’s no such thing as “cR boosting”. They don’t punish you for playing the game.
What on the off chance he’s just a terrible player and can’t get any kills?
There’s bound to be someone out there in that position, (Not saying its this guy) and it must really suck to be them.
I think the only excuse for a ban like that would be: “I suck at the game because I’m a terrible player”

Actually, there is a system in place for cR Boosting. If you recieve too many cR in a day, you’re capped, and if this keeps happening within a short amount of time, you start recieving temporary cR bans. If you keep getting these you can be permabanned from Reach. Alot of people who are trying to reach the Inheritor rank fast use grifball due to the bonus cR you recieve if your team wins. Combine that with a teammate intentionally holding the ball while three of your teammates spawn kill every game=cR boosting. In the case above, I did not see kill boosting, but he has played a lot of games of Grifball, which does reward alot of cR in a short amount of time, especially if you hit the cR jackpot added on.
Another method is to sign in a guest so your odds of being betrayed are lowered, but once again in the case stated above, this doesn’t appear to be the case. A third method is for two people to sign in three guests and play grifball. Those two people just keep killing the guests for cR, which is also boosting, but again, not seen in the case above. cR Boosting does indeed exist and people have been banned for it.
Bungie and 343i caught on to the cR boosting methods stated above, and you can be cR banned or even permabanned for doing any of the methods stated above. It ruins gameplay experience for people trying to play grifball for the sake of having fun when you and your team are being spawn killed because the other team is holding the ball and spawn killing you. Also, it isn;t fair to the people who may have legitimately earned their rank to see somebody else boost it by signing in guests and killing them for cR.

As much as I hate to say this, Bungie created the automated system that detects what it’s program to see as AFK/AFC. To the program, player skill doesn’t matter. If the automated program sees 0 kills, it sees AFK/AFC and if it sees repeated instances, it will ‘swing the banhammer’. And there have been people who have been wrongfully banned this way. I’ve seen cases reported where a father and son play and the son can’t get any kills due to lack of skill, and next thing you know one or both accounts are banned.
Please don’t tell me you modded

As I stated above, looking through the Original Poster’s game history, I noticed that he played Grifball alot. I also took notice that there are some Grifball games where he had no kills, so either he was banned for repeated AFC/AFKing by the game’s automated system standards (Zero Kills by the game standards equals AFC/AFK), or the game’s systems banned him for cR boosting (Earning too many credits in a short amount of time).
maybe it was something you have done before
GET REKD M8!
Don’t boost!
Don’t mod!
Don’t cheat!
Grifball boosting is such a pathetic thing to do anyway. Get a real K/D ratio by actually being good instead of going 230-0 every game by spawn-trapping AFK guests.

As I stated, cR Boosting does indeed exist, but I think I answered in proper detail why the original poster was banned from Reach.

The cap exists, yes, but they definitely don’t ban you for hitting it. I hit it multiple times. You only get banned for playing Grif ball if the other team doesn’t get any kills since this would flag them as AFK and cause the banhammer to rain down justice on your account.
