It's Been Over 6 Months, Fix the Banhammer.

Back in December I quit playing Halo 5 due to a well reported but not well handled glitch that pretty much ruins the entire Arena experience.
Before all the comments start of “hurrdurr don’t quit matches”, I didn’t, there seems to be a problem with the Arena servers which leads to things like this (which is why I quit last December):

  1. Decide to leave mid-game due to being invited by a friend
  2. Finish that game
  3. Randomly get banned despite having finished game
  4. Wait until unbanned
  5. Get banned after 2 games but for double X amount of time you were banned for first time
  6. Get stuck in infinite loop of only being able to play 2 games until the ban wears off then getting banned again after those two games

I’m at a 48 hour ban, and I did not quit a game once today.
Quite frankly, I’m pissed off at this point and am at my wit’s end.
It may not affect everyone, 343, but I know this affects more than just me and your player base for Halo 5 is dropping fast so you need to do for once somethings that the fans want.

Fix. The. Banhammer. Glitch.

Sincerly,
A halo fan from Halo CE who has watched you destroy his favourite game series.

It’s dangerous to go alone, take this.

Read it like two dozen times over my time playing Halo 5, if you’re not offering a fix

Sod off and don’t be a -Yoink- :^)

clears throat Don’t quit matches.

Seriously, 6 quits in your last 20 matches pretty much removes your ability to be upset by this.

hurrdurr don’t quit matches

and honestly I think the ban hammer is perfectly fine

Your history says you quit an assault game today and you also quit ctf the day before along with a warzone

Don’t get your hopes up for game fixes from 343. We’ve been waiting on MCC to get fixed for about a year and a half now.

It’s where you’re supposed to go. You try to help some people. And the banhammer is working just fine.

glitch/ɡlɪtʃ/

noun
a sudden, usually temporary malfunction or fault of equipment.

Doesn’t really apply when at the start of your post you admit to quitting midgame.

I needed my “MCC is still broken” bingo spot for the day, thanks!

It’s working fine for me and OP has quit 6 times in 20 matches which shows he’s probably not the victim here, but whatevs. 343suxlol.

Please use the ban thread.

Yea totally agree. I quit 2 times this month once on the 17th and once about 10 minutes ago and I got banned to 4 hours. Pretty damn rediculous I’m probably gonna put the game down for a while now myself… again

You have 4 DNF’s in the last 24 hours alone. We can see your history, dude.

Bull$#!+ I do. I just looked at it myself I have one today and that’s it.

Looks like a few of those are custom games, which don’t count towards bans.

That is possible, I just counted the DNFs.

Simplest fix for getting banned I’ve found after loads of research and much time spent looking for a solution is are you ready for it? you sure? Here goes…

Stop leaving games

Okay, guys. Regardless of how many matches he quit… Let’s get stupid; let’s say he quit thirty in a row.

48 hour ban is unacceptable. You don’t tell a player ‘You are not allowed to play this game for two days’ for a reason like quitting games. That’s a horrible idea.
You know why? They’ll say, ‘-Yoink- this malarkey, I’m going to go play Call of Duty/Fallout 4/Gears of War/etc’ and they’re probably going to stay gone for a while because of how justifiably upset they are at a two day ban.

It doesn’t matter a damn how many matches he quit. Two days is inexcusable.

You had to quit a whole lot to get to a 48 hour ban. Which therefore means you have ruined the experience of a whole mess of people. If you leave at that point than all I have to say is, “So long, Farewell…”

It isn’t broken in my opinion. Tells me that its working seeing these threads all the time. I quit games all the time id say up to one a day and sometimes more then one a day and yet i dont get banned because I dont quit a certain percent of my games. If your waiting for a fix your gonna die waiting.
