Hi, there’s a player who I may or may not be allowed to name who has launched a DDoS attack against me after making a threat to do so. This player is part of the game’s small playerbase on a consistent basis. After reporting the hell out of everything she’s done and sent with no result, is there anything more that can be done?
There is, for the record, not a shadow of doubt that it was a DDoS.

Distributed denial of service. Basically, they flood your internet by making a bunch of requests to your machines, which will cause your internet to stop working for awhile. It just brings you offline for a few minutes, but it’s still against Xbox terms of service (and illegal). It is often used to boot winning players from games.
Anyone with the right tools and your IP address can launch a DDoS, and anyone in the same game of Halo Reach (and other old Halo games) can dig up your IP address because of the way the game connects players.
Make sure to report any players you suspect of doing this to Xbox Live Support and the -Yoink!- team will look into it

Thanks, I guess I’m just being impatient.
