Excessive Banning

I am literally returning this game back to the store. It was the biggest waste of money. First day playing the game I quit one match because the connection was so poor I couldn’t even play. I restarted my router and went to play again and I was banned. Ok. Whatever. But then two days later I walked away between matches to use the bathroom and get a drink came back…guess what, I was booted and BANNED again. Alright at this point I’m getting a little frustrated. So I have been very careful not to get thirsty or have to used the bathroom while playing but inevitably life happens and I received an important call while playing and again was booted and BANNED this time for 5 hours!!! I have never quit because I was losing, I have never betrayed someone, I have never killed someone for their weapon…on average I have successfully completed 71 matches because of 2 idles and 1 quit I’m banned from playing a game I payed for!? I’ve completed 12 hours of gameplay with no issues…but because of those 3 issues I’m banned from playing all day. I would much rather spend my money on call of duty I’ve had no issues., and actually been getting a lot playing time since 434 doesn’t allow me to play Halo 5.

Ummm…you have over 10 dnf’s in the last 2 days and I didn’t go any farther than that. Also, there is a stickied “why was I banned thread” Might want to check that out.

He does have a point, I have completed almost 1000 matches and quit out of maybe 10 of those due to connection or lag. I have completed many matches after those and I got banned last night for being d/c once, check my dnf if you don’t believe me.

Yes, but he said he quit “one” match…and he didn’t.

You have seven dnfs on the first three pages of your game history.

Hi OP, please refer to the ban thread in the Halo 5 forums for further help.

To add something here though - if you’re going to leave the game between matches to grab a drink or whatever, back out to the lobby rather than sitting AFK. It’s your choice to idle in games, therefore it’s on you if you get kicked out due to inactivity.
