Hey guys I played halo 4 for the first time last night with my boyfriend and I was actually having fun for once and when I went on this mourning it says I have been banned from earning xp but I can still play matches. I am only rank 13 and I played all the same matches as my boyfriend did last night I just died a lot more lol.
I have no idea why I would be banned nothing has come up in my email nor do I have any msges here I just wunna be able to play so I can unlock one of the visors with the purple color and now I cant even do that!
Why do I even get into these games or buy xbox live in the first place if I cant even use the service when I havnt done anything!!!
Please help me!?!?!

It’s called an XP ban, we have all gone through it. 343 doesn’t want you to rank up too fast, or else the community will be divided. It’s nothing personal, it goes away in less than a day.
But I’m a flight attendant and today is my only day off where I can play… This is effed!
Actually, she implied she was playing with her bf. and SR13? Im assuming you had a few matches where you had 0 kills. The banhammer sees that as AFK’ing for some reason, and you’ll get a 24-hour XP ban. Gotta make sure to get at least 1 or 2 kills a game.
I don’t understand the point of this. If you rank up so many levels you get banned? Why did this not happen to me then?

Read my above post, please.
This makes no sense… So because I’m a girl who is brand new to fps on console and am not uber pro getting kills left right and center then I get banned like seriously double ewe tee eff! How is anyone supposed to get good and develop their skills? I was trying to get kills I even got 2 head shots one math which I was very very impressed with myself about. When they unban me I’m not going to be uber pro all of a sudden getting kills every match so they will just keep banning me how am I supposed to level and gain xp? Mega Sadface!
There are way too many games where you got zero points, which leads me to believe that you set down your controller and were not playing.
That messes with other peoples enjoyment of the game and results in a credit ban. It has nothing to do with being good, rather actually playing a game you join.

Please use this thread. Thanks!
If you really need kills and aren’t very good at shooters yet, I’d have to say-
Equip an automatic
Make sure to stay with your team, or camp
DON’T RUSH MIDDLE
Use your motion tracker
Wait for enemies to get close, then spray-n-pray
If they get REALLY close, spam melee
try to remember to use your AA/grenades if needed
Once you get better at aiming, move up to the DMR
Maybe try to get your BF to play some Custom Games with you for practice?
You probably made the system believe you were boosting.
