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

Just was playing doubles match with my buddy and got banned for committing suicide too many times. It was a new map and I was having an off game, all times were totally accidental, what the frig 343?

Many suicides are seen as a form of grefing. Once in a while is understandable. So you must be careful while playing.

The leaving games ban is terrible because if you leave 1 game and then 1 two games later you get banned and I only leave games when there is too much server lag

Good afternoon. Can anyone tell me when it fits the halo 5 guardians? The servers will not allow me to enter any of the 15 consoles I have and all accounts are prohibited. Let me play the custom browser. I would like to save when they fix the game.

This is un-Fing-believable!!! I let my son play some non ranked games for a few days and he quits some games and probably idled as he’s learning the way of the whole online gaming world and no I have a ban for 12 plus days? Are you kidding me? What a crock of sheeot! WTF?

It looks like your account and consoles are associated with an account that was manipulating the matchmaking and/or ranking for easier matches. This will get you banned.

I would suggest finding who did this given you have 15 consoles, and make sure they don’t do it again because it will result in a longer ban.

Gonna punish me for playing not my ranks if you guys would have fixed the system then none of this would happened. Take the ranking system off because all that is doing is making more low ranks plays and all the good kids leave because good kids leave because of the system and for those who’ve stay can’t find games because all the low rank players enjoy staying at there rank because they can find games. Gonna punish me and my friend for just wanting to play games we didn’t care about fricken rank we were wanting to actually play a game but yah be sure to ban every champ that has low rank friends with them. See how many people stick around. Your making people not want to touch halo 5 your making high ranks hate on low ranks. Can’t be friends with low ranks because if you are and play with them just gonna get banned for it. You taught us that you can only be friends with your rank. Low ranks have asked me to teach them and I have all I ever done is been nice to people help those who want it and punish me for trying to find a match.The least you guys could do is un ban me and my friend because we didn’t know that if you play with low ranks that we get punished with it. I never got 1 hate for it all I ever gotten was low ranks inviting me to play so what you want me to do? Be the bad guy and say no I cant play with you hahah you suck. I try to be a nice person I don’t judge people by there skill. Only reason I play with low ranks because they invite me then think I am a cool person. I learned my lesson and my friend learned his lesson. So least you guys could do is un ban us so we know not to play with anyone not are rank.thank you. Once you get champ you never get matches I felt bad for the low ranks so we went back on high ranks searched for hour and couldn’t find anything we just wanted to play games. Nothing wrong with that.

My whole squad got a 2 week ban, first offense. Ruining the fun for other players?! No description of what i did wrong. Game history shows, my team barely winning most matches. Any excuse for this? I think it’s riot worthy, but maybe it’s just because I need a new game to play.

You have manipulated the matching system. This is obvious when you consult your history. Personally I love this system.

Have a read through this thread.

I’ve been puzzled for days why it wouldn’t let me see or join multiplayer games. I thought it was a network or update error… I’m not sure what I would have done to deserve getting banned, if that is what happened. I have a new born, and sometimes have had to leave a game. Perhaps I left it on and it kept joining matches? Can someone look at my account, and cut me a little slack if that is what is going on?

Thank you in advance

This account you are posting on has no history with H5. So either it’s an alternate account, or your privacy settings prevent people from looking at your game history.

As for your other point: it’s entirely possible that you got a ban for leaving games. The game doesn’t know what reason you leave games for; it only knows that you leave. You can say that you left games to tend to your newborn, which is what any good parent should do, but you can’t prove that to the game. For fairness’ sake, the game must treat all DNFs the same; otherwise, everyone would just claim noble reasons for leaving the game in order to avoid bans.

To be honest, even if it is noble, it’s still ruining the game for 7 to 23 other players. The ban isn’t just to punish bad actors, it’s also to prevent players from playing when they shouldn’t be playing. This includes reasons that aren’t really the players’ faults themselves, like networking issues.

If they are ruining the game for that many people, they need to fix whatever is causing the DNFs before coming back.

I’ve been there with the newborns.

How can i check how long or why have I’ve been banned

You can see the ban timer when the ban notification first pops up. After that, you won’t see the timer again.

You can try closing and restarting the app to see if it shows the ban message again.

My ridiculous 14 day ban (first ban ever btw) is almost up. Still not sure why I was banned in the first place. My son played social games quit a few and idled but I’m still shocked that would be the reason. Any real answers would be helpful.
