Good job 343i. Your terrible servers got me banned

So I was disconnected twice and this caused me to be banned. I have no issue playing games like Hearthstone, World of Warcraft, Counter Strike, Call of Duty, Final Fantasy XIV, etc, and because of these so called ‘dedicated’ servers, this trash of a ‘feature’ that was supposed to evolve online gaming, has punished me.

But then again, seeing how Halo 4, Halo: TMMC, have been treated, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised for such terrible online stability from this company. But I guess implementing microtransactions is more important than keeping your game and services working. No, it’s not my connection. No I didn’t quit out. No, it’s not my fault.

I’m so glad I bought the Halo 5 LCE and console to experience such a superior shooter /sarcasm

As anyone rightfully should be for being punished for the company’s incompetence. Excuse me for not wanting to be disconnected and restricted from playing.

I agree. The dedicated servers are bad. I always get such a terrible experience while playing.

I got disconnected twice, and didn’t get banned. Probably because I’m not a quitter, and the system recognises that. Seems to work well for me!

I think I’ve been disconnected from a total of 3 games with over 5 days of arena play logged. In other words, I’m having no issues…

I live in the US - 50 down 10 up.

Bro it’s got to a point where I don’t think things like this will ever be resolved, loads of people have been complaining about the same thing. I think ur better off moving onto something better, remember that DOOM is coming out in May hopefully it doesn’t have as many issues and has way more content.

You don’t have issues because the rediculous majority of severs are US based…
the rest of the world however are suffering in silence we are being drowned out with Americans stating they can’t relate to our issue.

You don’t need great download/upload speed with dedicated server gaming to have good connection. (if it works the way it is designed to work)
I have fiber internet, 300 down, 160 up, between 3 (good day) and 12 (bad day) ping, in Australia, and I’ve been banned for multiple server side disconnects.

Wasn’t trying to start a war, just wanted to state my info to try to help.

I play with a guy from Switzerland. He absolutely wrecks and never lags. Best of luck, Spartans.

Just like 343 the servers are also bad. Incompetence I guess

I’ll ask him. I’ve actually entered a handful or Warzone games and noticed my REQs won’t load in-game. Is this what you’re referring to?

You know you messed up when your servers are worse than EAs. Lol

What counts towards a ban?
Generally, players are banned for repeated demonstrations of offensive behavior, cheating, or unfair play.
Examples of unacceptable behavior include:

  • Violating the Xbox Live Terms of Use - Violating the Xbox Live Code of Conduct - Cheating or “griefing” (intentionally ruining the fun of the game for other players) - Manipulating network performance to improve your online performance or degrade another player’s - Skill, EXP, or credit boosting, habitual quitting, sitting idle in games, and other unsociable and unsportsmanlike behavior - Impersonating a 343 Industries or Microsoft employee on Xbox Live - Playing on a hacked or modified console or profile
    Seee nowhere does it say you get banned for their -Yoink- ups, or even if players do quit.

I don’t get disconnected and I’m in Australia…

however I cant seem to get a game in pretty much the majority of arena playlists.

@Scion,
Read the blurb when you are selecting a game type, i.e Arena: Slayer and others, also Warzone and Warzone assault,
States as follows “Matchmaking ban rules in effect for repeated quitting, betrayals, innactivity or other misconduct”

This is a warning to all who want to play, their game they make the rules. Simple

It is their game but its also down to the user base if they think its ok for 343 to treat them this way.

One reason Halo 5 is not as popular
