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

Alright… So I don’t know if somebody at 343 has a personal vendetta against me. But I have received another ban AGAIN today. For recap, I was banned for DC’ing at the end of a game on the 29th of april for a duration of around 8 hours. On May 1st I was banned for the same reason for 23 hours and today (may second), I was banned from arena for joining a lobby queue from warzone to arena. I WASNT EVEN PLAYING ARENA. FOR 2d 23:54:18?! I have all the incidents recorded and screenshotted and despite the sheer volume of bans I seem to be receiving, I have had no contact with anyone who can help me.

Aeon Regalia is my GT-

Please, someone at least glance at my post (and previous posts) to try and help me out, thanks. -ar

You would be hard pressed to get a reply from someone who can actually help, I have had 3 legitimate claims and I have a total 0 responses. I guess all we can do is wait… until the ban timer runs out because there is a very small likely hood that someone will reach you before the ban runs out. My current ban is for 3 days and if i don’t get some form of assistance I am out.

Kinda the same for me. ???

was thrown out of a match an banned for two minutes at litteraly the end of a match for leaving the match before but the fact is that I was in a fireteam. an my fireteam wanted to play superfiesta so we did. so our little fireteam of 2 goes on in an were getting ready for a match when suddenly my freind is placed in the stupid waiting que in even though he was there for pregame matchmaking etc. I didn’t invite my freind to my team so he could listen to me have a good time. so I left. this summarizes the majority of my ALL of my game leavings. my freinds were randomly removed or weren’t able to join. could we PLEASE fix this problem? I really don’t ever wanna tell my freind “oh sorry dude I would leave back out but 343 might smash my face in for daring to leave this poor helpless team or innocent randoms so stick your thumb up your butt an stick around for awhile because this games in for the long haul!” this mainly happened in arena but a long while ago it happened in WZ

Stop Banning for friendly fire in griff ball. People are going to get friendly kills in griff ball it’s just inevitable.

Day #158: 343 has yet to fix it’s ridiculous banning system as the Ban thread reaches over 53 pages.

They’re never going to fix this are they?

I’m currently qualifying slayer. On my 6th game going positive every game have an 8.0 kda and i get booted out ofbthe game were about to win for no reason and then all of a sudden im banned for quitting.

2 things here… Now my qualifier is messes up and not going to be accurate. And im banned.

Why 343… Why

So I keep dropping games and returning to the home screen. The reason for this is because “Your fire team has changed” even though no one is in my fire team. This happens in warzone and arena and honestly I don’t even play because most times I get kicked. I tried playing my placement matches today and it happened again but this time I was banned for 40 minutes. My internet is one of the fastest you can purchase in America and my Xbox is plugged directly in. I’m currently in the process of moving Halo 5 onto a different hard drive to play off of. Please fix this soon so I can continue to play this game them at I paid money to play.

This question might have been answer already but here goes: I just finished my playlist rank for the May 2016 season. As I finished my tenth game I got a banned message for about 3 mins. So my question is will I still be qualified for the May Season playlist?

Justb got banned when I clicked to report a guy who started team killing. It said my firefight team had changed (I wasn’t teamed up with anybody and wasn’t having lag issues) and only gave me a 10 minute ban. But it seems these are happening to other people recently, is it from reporting mid match? I was in breakout when it happened, I wasn’t even able to play and didnt quit the game or anything. Is there a glitch with reporting or what else could cause it?

I got banned for three hours after quitting out of one match that was 32-8 and was no longer any fun but it was still only the one match. Any reason for this or was I just screwed by an error?

yeah, i’ve been banned for…i dont know, my connection to the SERVER broke, it stands the “SERVER” (no not my connetction) and i have glassfaser, so its impossible that its my fault, and i got banned, so for now 2 times on 2 following days, so the HALO servers are maybe to busy, and I get banned for this? Super, really really good ban system inside… And sorry for my english, its not my language :wink:

I haven’t played Halo 5 in a while due to the Diviosn and Gears Beta. I get on today play a couple of games including Griffball. I betrayed someone, because honestly who doesn’t betray someone by mistake playing Griffball. A few minutes later I get banned until June 20. WTF?!?!? I’ve never been banned including my Xbox 360 years and then I get banned for almost 2 months without even a reason? Then I post here and all I get is this crappy thread that answers nothing. Anyone got any ideas?

The bugie guys suck little balls, I was banned because I lost connection with your server. I checked with my guys and its on the college -Yoinks!- that run your servers. get it right. bungie did not have this problem. you should not.

“You were doing something wrong” man I was doing something right. I just got a kilimanjaro in grifball and accidentally hit my teammate and he kicked me. Every time I play grifball I get kicked and a plethora of others have had the same issue. This makes me put down your game and play fallout. Thanks.

Every time I’m in a game and I accept an invite from a friend I get banned for like 30 minutes.

I should not be expected to play in a game when I know we are going to lose. I see my K/D substantially higher than that of my teammates (save maybe a few) and we’re still losing by a lot. Specifically I’m talking about Warzone, because it just happened. I was fighting tooth and nail to hold the fortress, only in vain. I ended up getting swarmed and we eventually lost the game. But that’s not the point. The point is, if my team is getting destroyed, I decide it’s not worth it, and I want to quit, there should be no consequences for that. It’s not fair to expect a good player to wait while his worthless team literally throw themselves at the enemy. I got banned for quitting 2 matches in a row because 1 was a bad team, and the second was my friend wanted to play, so I backed out. 2 matches and I get banned? Sounds like someone is a little power hungry 343. I was planning to come work for you, but seeing how the rules are over there, I may not be a good fit for your company.

Get off your high horses, knock of the BS. I left 2 matches and they weren’t even ranked.
