The official Halo 5 "Why was I banned?" thread

I GET A SERVER DISCONNECTED MESSAGE AFTER THE GAME IS COMPLETELY OVER AND AFTER I PLAY A FEW GAMES I GET A BAN EVEN THOUGH I FINISH ALL THE GAMES IT JUST DISCONNECTS AFTER THE GAME. HALO SERVERS ARE GARABAGE. PLAY BETTER GAMES HALO 5 SUCKS

… Uh, No. Players do get banned for being betrayed. What you say is the correct way, as it should work. But sadly it’s not the case…

Being disconnected due to (garbage) servers and connections failing is what I said. My personal connection is fine…

Why is it ever Warzone match I my team is always missing two people it’s getting -Yoinking!- ridiculous and games of been out for like a month still has this problem and why the hell does anybody in the enemy so I keep running towards the other enemy side bass what the -Yoink- is that fix that -Yoink-

Why does 343 not look at the ranking system and matchmaking that too often leads to entirely lopsided games?! The bans are bs to those that would never quit a game except for uneven blowout matches OR those where 2 or more fire team members leave. Fix these and/or adjust the policies and you have my support for virtually any other ban you have. However, banning someone for leaving a bunk or blown out game fitting the aforementioned criteria… no whey!

I log in and grab a couple when I can and when they end up like that I’ll go hide to avoid giving kills away but I’m hating the game every second and thinking…why am I wasting my f’in time? Yes, to those posing this as a dichotomy between this and the old system: I would rather a wrecked system like halo 2 multiplayer was before this ban hammer tells me and other good players I need a cooldown for leaving crap matched games.

You’re going nuclear and it will kill this thing long before the old abused system. This f’in sucks.

i get banned for quitting a swat against someone whos ranked champion while im ranked plat 1 and i think its ridiculous that i have to deal with that

Yo have two DNFs in the last 20games,and an swat game DNF is 4 days ago,I think something else triggered your ban.

This dont even make sense,why should they punish someone whos already punished with betraying teammates?

You’re incorrect. You do not get banned for being betrayed. You can be banned for a lot of things. Failing to finish matches, griefing, idling among others. Being betrayed is not on the list. I’m sorry you’re merely confused.

Regardless of how you view your personal connection there are steps you can take which a simple search will help you find. You can either investigate and find those steps and possibly disconnect with less frequency or you can continue as you have been. Nothing changes if nothing changes.

The disconnected from server message immediately proceeds the ban hammer message. It is not the reason you were banned it is the ban being implemented. 3 out of your last 20 have been DNFS. If I had to guess that might have something to do with your ban. You can turn caps lock off. I will say I was pleasantly surprised your account wasn’t a sock account.

This doesn’t seem relevant to the ban thread.

The rules were set out prior to the games release. You can either choose to follow them or deal with the consequence of not following them. Making excuses as to the reason you habitually quit matches is a bit pointless.

I’ve yet to hear about a ban of this length. Are you certain that is the correct length of time? You can refer to the description in the first post in this thread to be certain.

Funny how you try to point out the mechanics as they are supposed to be working.
It seems like you don’t (want to) understand that although it’s not on ‘the list’ it still happens.

So; yes, you shouldn’t get a ban. But people still do.
And this time, try to accept reality, instead of arguing with people over their experiences.

Thank you

When your ‘experience’ runs in a completely opposing direction to the way the ban hammer is set up, everything that is known about the ban system, the experiences of the insanely large number of people that have been betrayed over the last year (including myself), and you provide no evidence whatsoever to support a frankly near absurd claim I don’t think I’m the one with a problem ‘accepting reality.’ I’m telling you right now you were not banned for being betrayed. The hammer swings in the manner it was intended to.

Now let’s hypothesize for a moment. I see two possibilities as to why you might mistakenly think that. 1: You were betrayed and decided to retaliate and then got booted for that. 2: You are making a post hoc, ergo proptor hoc error. Your ban happened to be implemented after a match in which you were betrayed and you assumed falsely that the was the reason.

You are psycologist/teacher?

Can i get a break? I’m currently overseas deployed, and my internet has been -Yoink- becasue they are FINALLY setting it up. It was up/down for a while because they had an issue and now I cant play for 48 hours after I paid and ordered this game and had to wait three weeks for it to arrive to my base? I can provide proof if needed.
