The system records your DNF (did not finish) as quitting. Regardless of whether you got disconnected. Since July 4 you’ve had at least 8 DNFs. This is probably a contributing factor to your ban.

Voice banning…you’re being not exactly diplomatic in your voice communications and got called on it.

play the game, don’t quit. Just a suggestion if you want to be able to play with your friends.

YMMV

If you are actually disconnecting that much then maybe you should look for the problem on your end, server disconnects don’t show up. Look at my warzone game history last night, I had a true server disconnect where all of the AI froze but the spartans could still move around and it kicked us back to the lobby. Do you see a Dnf?

23 DNFS in your last 100 games. That is more than 1 in 5.

> 2535422715747879;2086:
> I was just banned for leaving one match due to important reasons and twice because of being disconnected then i was banned wtf i only got the game and im already banned for no good reason why this is ridiculous

You have 8 DNFs with less than 60 matches. Honestly what did you expect?

Hope everything works better now.

I was banned for being idle after the game ended. WTH

More than likely that was just when the banhammer caught up to you, takes it a bit.

This ban hammer clearly needs some adjustments. This is simply outrageous.

I think it’s ridiculous that players are essentially being punished for the internet they are using at home. What if someone wants to play Halo but can’t afford to get more reliable internet service? They are supposed to just live with being banned for something that’s out of people’s control? The banning system needs to be improved so it can differentiate between deliberate game-ditching and dropping out due to a server/internet disconnect. Honestly… This makes me glad to not have Halo 5, an XB1, or subscription fees.

Honestly… This makes me glad to not have Halo 5, an XB1, or subscription fees. Most of the time it is just a few settings that need to be tweaked in your router, but people would rather blame the servers.

Whether people quit or drop out due to their internet, they are still impacting the enjoyment of others. Tos for xbox live clearly states that you will maintain a good internet connection.

I am almost always banned if I leave a game, and I didn’t purposefully leave. The usual ā€œlost connection to serverā€ error comes up and boots me from the game. Although the ban is very short and temporary, it still is annoying because I know that the ban has nothing to do with my internet connection.

This problem should be fixed because it is not our fault the the Halo 5 servers are unreliable.

Seriously I got banned for a day because server never loaded after match. WHAT?

So like I’m not banned or anything but like Warzone firefight is broken. 30 seconds left (Final Round) Mythic Warden is barely alive. 5 seconds later he regen’d 1/4 of his health. PLEASE FIX THIS

Please use the support forum and the ban thread for their respective purposes; there is an official Warzone FF feedback thread where you can post your opinions about WZFF.

So I was playing Halo 5 arena 2v2, and my teammate wasn’t doing too well so he just left the game. And obviously that didn’t make me very happy, in fact it made my score plummet. And a couple deaths later- BOOM! I was banned because my teammate left the game. Why did I get banned for another player’s misconduct? Another time, I was playing 4v4 and all the sudden a screen popped up, I had lost the connection. So I thought to myself, ā€œIts okay I can just join another match,ā€ but I couldn’t, because I was banned! I’ve never actually killed another player, but I have been killed numerous times by other players, and before you ask, yes I did report them, but instead of them getting in trouble, I did, and guess what? You’re right, I was banned. I’ve been ran over by speeding warthogs, shot by tanks and banshees, but yet I am the one getting banned. I haven’t even had the game for more than a week. But I’ve been banned numerous times for other player’s mistakes. 343 needs to fix their banning system, like now. This is unacceptable, 343 you need to get rid of the ability to harm teammates, and don’t tell me its hard, or it affects the game, because it needs to happen. And if this message doesn’t reach 343, well then I guess we’re all dead. THIS GAME IS BROKEN, PLEASE FIX IT!

But im not losing connection during the match its at the end when the scores come up,i hope disabling the UPnP cures it but i have to wait 6 days to find out.
