I have been banned for over 48 hours without explanation

Hi. This is a vent to 343. I play a lot of Halo Infinite. My Halo tracker stats put me around 200 hours. That’s, in all likelihood, in the top 2% of play time. I am not excellent but I can hang in there with good players and typically do well against lower ranks. I have spent money in the store. I genuinely enjoy the game, even with all the bugs, cheating, crashes, etc.

I play the game respectfully. I do not quit out of games unless my team has dropped a player. I do not intentionally betray, unless I am in a game with friends and the outcome has already been decided. Sometimes I will stay in a game that is 3v4 and just mess around, throwing grenades high in the sky and running to the middle of the map firing my weapon to be killed easily. I have been playing Halo since C.E., and as a dedicated fan and player. But without an explanation on this ban, I really see no reason why I will continue playing after it ends.

I created a support ticket after 12 hours. No response. I have considered creating an alt so I can hop back into ranked games, but something doesn’t feel right about that. All I would like is for someone at 343 to acknowledge this ban, how long it will last, and why it was implemented to begin with. Like I said, a ticket has been submitted. I would expect an automated response at the very least, but just crickets. The ban system is clearly flawed to begin with, but without someone contacting me I will just go play other games, and yes, I will threaten to be one that doesn’t come back, or at least not nearly as often.

That could be the problem. A high number of betrayals within a number of times could get you banned. It doesn’t matter of the victim of that betrayal agreed with it or not.

This could also be the problem. People could have reported you for this, since deliberately throwing the game is also not allowed.

Update: seemingly in response to this post, the game updated with a 1 GB download and a notice popped up that I am banned until March 8th. Lmao, bye 343, you are the most incompetent developer in the world.

but the steps for reporting ppl in Inf are unbelievably complicated no one would go through the trouble just for that

Because you had a legit critique and they can’t handle it…just like everything else they are trying to do… like customization…remeber when they said that was going to be free?..

I’ve heard some mixed reviews about elden ring, is it good?

It’s a joyous experience my friend. It’s sitting on a 97 on Metacritic currently.
