I originally posted this over at B.net in the hopes of getting an employee to look into it. So far no one has.
The last few days myself (“jakbutt”), “save it bro”, “LJKoetje”, and a “guest” (my friend Ryan) have been playing MM everyday after work (here in Iraq).
We have been mostly playing Multiteam, Living Dead, Rumble Pit, Team Objective. and a little bit of Team Snipers over the last 4 days totaling about 60 plus games.
Since we have 4 people on one console our playlists are limited, and we have been bouncing back and forth between those ones.
I am assuming we caught the eye of the “banhammer” due to Ryan’s (our guest) poor performance and assumed we were “idling”. He’s not very good at FPS, but enjoys playing them with us. While he never gets too many kills he does do fairly well at holding the Oddball, getting “hill time”, and collecting skulls in “Headhunter”. He’s usually on our team, so we are the only ones who suffer for his poor performance, but that’s fine with us because he’s our friend.
I know people use this excuse all the time in the forums, and I understand if you think this is BS, but I have gone the “extra mile” to prove that we were doing nothing wrong. We were not “idling”, “AFKing”, “boosting”, or anything of the sort. We were simply four friends trying to have some fun in MM and forget about our surroundings for a little while.
Apparently no one here on B.net could possibly fathom that not everyone is as good at Halo as them. They have all called me a liar and said that it is impossible for someone to be that “bad”. Well I take being called a liar personally so I went through my “recent game history” and saved every game with him playing in it that I could. There were still a total of 19. I recorded, uploaded, and rendered the first 1 to 2 minutes of those 19 games to prove that Ryan (my guest) was indeed playing, just not very well.
The first 19 non arena games in my history were all played with my guest.
Basically those are the last 19 games that Ryan played before we got banned. In them you can easily see that he is new to FPS, but playing.
I appreciate you taking the time look at this.
