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

> 2533274868048238;5027:
> I had started a game but had to walk away to help a neighbor. My wife took over my game in my absence and i came back to find I had been banned. I have never quit a game. Any suicides have been accidental and infrequent and if I hit any of my teammates during game play it was also accidental. Its not my fault when a play runs around a corner into a particle beam!
> The fact that I was arbitrarily banned is ridiculous!

It appears you were idling. That is the reason you were banned. If need be I’ll happily post the video.

> I was in a game and on accident I feel out of the map twice and got banned.Yet I didn’t do it on purpose.

It’s an automated system. It can’t read your mind, so it doesn’t care if your suicides were intentional or not. If you had enough (usually 3) suicides within a short amount of time you can be booted and banned for that. Excessives suicides was used as a method of griefing in the past.

Dumb question to ask I know but still I am curious. Are people able to get banned due to anything done in Custom Games using Custom Maps and Custom Game Modes?

My gamer tag is ebeezy6547, I was having the best game of my career and I accidentally step off a ledge a few times and I get banned? Are you in the business of mind reading? I want to be reinstated right now.

This is unacceptable, I didn’t pay money for this product to be banned, I’m still learning the maps ffs. Unban my account, like now, or I will never buy another Halo product again.

Please don’t post multiple times in a row. You can edit your posts to add information and respond to multiple people in a single post.

You aren’t going to get unbanned. Excessive suicides have been used as a method of griefing in the past and the system can’t read your mind to no that you were just a bit clumsy as opposed to trying to tank the match for your team., so enough suicides in a short period of time will cause the automated system to give you a time out. You agreed to follow the rules of matchmaking and violating them (even unintentionally) has consequences.

The H5 ban system doesn’t cover custom games. You can still receive xble type bans for significant misbehavior though.

-Yoink- halo took a -Yoink- for 10 min an got banned for 24 hrs tf is this?

You have several DNF’s on your record. Quitting, suicides, afk, griefing, are the things the system watches, then doles out the bans accordingly!

Did you go take a crap while you were in matchmaking? If so, then you got booted and banned for idling. Maybe next time quit the game or back out of matchmaking before you step away from the console. Or go to the bathroom faster.

It’s “doles out”. The word you want is “doles”.

Ok. I had to ask because I have been playing in Custom Games rather exclusively lately on custom maps. I recently figured out I was constantly getting kicked from my own custom games because people were reporting me constantly but I am only using what had been added to the custom map from the person I bookmarked it from and only slightly edited it to make it work better. I do find it a hassle that anytime someone reports you for them being butt hurt (after many times verbally attacking me, Yes they were reported through the xbox 1 messaging reporting for their words to be) but for them reporting it immediately kicks you out of your game but leaves everyone else in it and leaves it running without you.

The reporting system doesn’t work like that.The only person who can boot is the host and even then only between matches. It sounds more like you’re lagging out.

Interesting. Because it has been happening every single day and I mean every single time I am playing a custom game. My internet is perfect, my NAT is Open and everything reads as having no issues but it always boots me from the game (typically after someone has started harassing me in messages) and even then my internet is running fine for the game and it suddenly just freezes the entire game (Except myself) to the point where noone on my screen is moving, all sounds have stopped aside from my own walking and shooting etc. And then it kicks me and says there was a problem with the Dedicated Server but when I look in the custom game browser my custom game is still running fine.

That is a server problem. When I play custom games and a new player joins or a player leaves it always freezes for a few seconds, usually for everyone in the game. Try setting up the game so that others can’t join.

Bans are -Yoink-. Kicked out of one -Yoinking!- game in 4 days for not moving and boom, banned. One damn DNF in 4 days was all it took. I play at least 10 games a day. Stupid! I’m done buying Halo games with this bs!

I got banned because my game crashes whenever I play a certain map/maps if youre going to ban me for your maps crashing my game atleast let me play another multiplayer mode

You have several DNF’s on a few different maps and playlists on your record. Quitting, suicides, afk, griefing, are the things the system watches, then doles out the bans accordingly.

can you stop banning people for leaving a match well if you gave better match making and I wouldn’t leave oh yeah platinum player going up against onyxes or when I do get people my rank I get players who are crap and go 0-18. or atleast give a damn mercy number where people can leave at you think people want to waste 10 minutes or so with a super bad team I think not fix this game. cause your previous games were actually good unlike this game.

Out of your last 12 games (which is all I looked at) you haven’t matched anyone higher than a diamond 3. However, I saw several times where you quit because you were going negative against golds and platinum players. If you are just rage quitting or quitting to protect your k/d then you need to accept the consequences.

You haven’t faced a single onyx player in over 30 matches. Yes, I counted.

Your game history is public you know, try not to blatantly lie before you’re caught red-handed.
