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

> [Edit!] NVM, It was my first time and the ban has been lifted] I bought Halo 5 today and was playing online (I had the game pass prior but didn’t do any social online modes other than customs) and got banned for “committing suicide” too many times, but I didn’t know the map I was playing on and got banned … can someone help?

Just be careful, quitting/betrayals/idle/suicides can get you banned.

Anything network related can be found on the xbox support page or can be found easily with a search. Your network is your responsibility.

So I got permanently banned from being able to upload to the fileshare system.All I did was delete a file as it was being uploaded, which might have caused the ban. I’m so angry and sad, could I please get unbanned because I swear I was unjustly banned!!

This is a thread for Halo 5 bans. There is a thread for reach related bans in the Halo reach section. I doubt that was the reason for your ban.

  • I was banned for no clear reason, I was in a swat match my 10th one and after the match i got a message saying I was banned until 8/23. Why?

and now I’M unbanned???

That’s not how this works.
There’s only so much the devs can do to accommodate people on their servers. It is your responsibility to set things correctly on your end. Besides, there are plenty Google search hits that tell you how to set your home network up properly.

Most likely an real weired bug.
I havnt seen any DNFs in the part of your gamehistory that I have checked,so its most likely an bug.

Thank you.

Okay, I got banned again within my first week of actually playing online. Can you get banned for leaving crappy custom games that are poorly set up because i think that’s why it may’ve happened. If so, can 343 add an option to explain why you’re leaving a game?

Yes, quitting/betrayals/AFK all get you banned. It can be a pain to have to endure a crappy game, but when you quit, your team has to deal with an even harder time. When it happens to me, I try to make the best of it. Have been in the 1v4 several times, and take the Reach approach, fight to the bitter end!

No. You can’t be banned for quitting customs. watching your last match I"m guessing your ban was for greifing from excessive suicides.

People would just lie.

Quitting customs doesn’t count, mate.

I didn’t know that map, and didn’t try to suicide so much

Hello
When I was kid I had accidentally put a modded pic into my file share and as a result of me doing it I had I was banned from playing any and all custom game modes with friends of myself. it’s been 10 years since that had happened and I’m still banned from custom games in halo 5. I learned my lesson the hard way, and I was wondering if I could be forgiven and have this banned uplifted from me? My gamer tag is Nobel961 I’ve been a fan of Halo ever since I was a kid.

That sounds like a console or GT Ban. You might go through microsoft enforcement for that. This is specifically about bans from H5 matchmaking.

how long is a ban for leaving a match?

> how long is a ban for leaving a match?

> **How can I tell how long I was banned for?**Ban duration will be shown on the red ban screen as the ban hammer strikes. First offences are generally low and last only a few minutes, but will increase in duration incrementally with each subsequent ban. The ban timer itself displays times as follows -
> Days : Hours : Minutes : Seconds

I’m currently console banned with no ban message, no time/date given until the ban expires. This is shown in this game dvr clip i recorded: http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/RyTy/video/34946796 I’ve been banned for 2 days now and am unaware of why.
