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

I do actually love this game/series, but you’re making it increasingly difficult to enjoy playing, especially during this lockdown in my area

but i died 5 times total. this is silly and dumb af. sorry. its qp ctf fiesta. and we are expected not to make risky plays? the whole game is gambling blind. wtf are you talking about. im palying qp fiesta. theres no reason a person should be banned for that. straight up. im playing a -Yoink- GAME. literally a fictional alien space super soldier game. this arguement is basically you bakcing up 343s decision to say. because we said so. no. that dumb af. im 30 years old. im not some uninformed inexperienced child. 343. ur ban system is making palyers not want to play ur game. its a real issue. i have another video where im banned from my own teamate walking straight into my grenades twice. completely unintentional. and i got baanned for 15 mins. i lost it. its not cool. ujr ban system is like the opposite of overwatch and its overbearing and ruining our experience. jsut need adjusting man. its not rocket science.

> You don’t get banned for leaving a match if your entire team leaves… right? Because thats kind of -Yoink- if thats the case…

aymen. user experience should always be number 1. the game should easily detect who disconnected first and seconds and SHOULD not punish 3rd and 4rth player for leaving. ALSO lt enemy players leave to even it out and let them off without punishment. BUT if you are strict enough about banning leavers. this wont exist as a problem. but should always do these things. so no one hates 10 minutes of their life for things out of their control.

It’s not gambling blind…there can be one sided matches but a lot of the fun / strategy of the game type is do the best with the weapons you get dealt and take the other teams’ good weapons. A base needler can easily take out a Gavel with the right approach. They’ve had ranked super fiesta run several times hah.

Also, fiesta is the most popular non-ranked playlist — they can see how many people stop playing because of frustration from bans, if it were an issue they would adjust it.

I got a 36 day ban for xp idling in MWFF by just driving around in a Scout Warthog/Mongoose for all rounds.

Don’t do this people.

Yes

I dont mean to come off toxic here but, Halowaypoint mods are a joke. Thread, which talking about how Communities are misunderstanding the difference between Evolving/modernizing mechanics vs shooters having X,Y,and Z and putting it Halo. I brought up movement and features and how those could be evolved and improved from their debut games.

Long story short the mod Comedic Hermit wants me to discuss this in a thread that is talking about Halo 5 bans. I dont see how these even correlate because I was talking about Halo infinite under Halo Infinite’s category.

If anyone can make sense of this please do.

Personally if feels like I was silenced, because no one else had a topic on this.

What a trash game, helping my team, good k/d ratio, sniped an explosive container to kill an enemy and right then two teammates ran by and it got them too. I was booted from the game and banned for 10 minutes. What a stupid trash game to punish someone for regular game play. I didn’t do anything else to cause it. This was natthe2kgoat account, not the one I’m making this post from, but you got to do better than that Halo. Seriously booting and banning someone from the game for simultaneous betrayals that weren’t the players fault is ridiculous. I was sniping from a distance and my teammates were running that direction but there was a wall before they got there and I had already fired the shot before they were even visible on screen because of the wall. So wrong to punish someone for that, come on.

It’s just that one mod, others here are great. I reported him, that’s what you need to do. But you’re right, that mod is a complete failure of a mod.

Yeah he suspended me for asking how these threads are similar in the links he told me to go to so I reported him as well. Thx for the help and I hope to have positive experiences with other mods in the future.

The booting was likely a player option because of multiple betrayals. The ban is because you have 7(!) DNFs in your last 20 games, not just because of the instance of betraying.

^ Also, two folks above — y’all are in the wrong thread. He was linking you to the Sprint discussion, there are numerous links in that signature.

First game I played in more than a month on that account, and the two simultaneous betrayals were the only betrayals I had in the game. It was technically like a triple kill because I killed one enemy and two teammates. Like I said there was no way I could have known the teammates were going to end up in the killzone. Absolutely should not be a way for someone to get booted for that and the ban shouldn’t have happened either because I didn’t do anything to deserve to be booted from the game so I still say Halo sucks for that.

Yes, you betrayed 2 people even though it was an accident. I’ve accidentally thrown a grenade on spawn for a triple betrayal and someone immediately booted me instantly hah.

Even if you haven’t played in a while, 7 out of your last 20 games were DNFs. It was only a 10min ban…the purpose is to make you aware that the DNFs do matter.

Speaking of throwing grenades on spawn, that happens a TON to me too from other teammates doing it when the match first begins. I don’t usually get killed from it, but I’ll be damaged and then immediately have to fight an enemy and of course die. Super annoying. Why does that happen so much, do you know?

It happens to me extremely rarely — my guess is people suddenly pick up the their controllers as the game starts and accidentally hit the trigger.

ragazzi sono stato bannato 99 giorni ho inviato 4 tichet ma non ho ricevuto risposta. È possibile che l’assistenza di Halo Waypoint sia così pigra da non darti una risposta? Sono sicuro di non aver violato uno e solo codice di condotta e mio figlio quando gioca non ha le stesse abilità degli altri giocatori ma questo non giustifica un ban di 99 giorni contando che lo faccio giocare in modalità warzone in 8 coop . Ho pensato che nell’inclusività di tutti i giocatori più e meno qualificati basti essere rispettosi del codice di condotta. sai come mi devo comportare e cosa posso fare se non inviare ticket dove non sono preso in considerazione? e dove posso vedere cosa sbaglio? ci saranno delle statistiche vero? ps: ho usato un traduttore spero sia comprensibile quello che scrivo.

Hai diversi casi di inattività in Warzone, ecco perché sei stato bandito. E non lo invertono.

I sistemi di ban sono pessimi e sono severissimi contro l’inattività e il gioco da scarsi come può essere l’attività di un bambino per loro è ritenuto “gioco tossico”, non sei l unico a cui è successo.
Mi hanno bannato dal [09/21/2020] al [11/14/2020]. Per " idling" , entravo nelle lobby e non svolgevo azioni, non facevo kill o nessun altra attività , come finito il ban ho giocato seriamente e con attenzione. Vogliono i commenti in inglese se no rischi bannino anche il commento.

Maybe don’t match regular players against -Yoinking!- Champ level players day after -Yoinking!- day; people may actually enjoy the -Yoinking!- game…
