I was in que for a match still able to play but I left to join a friends fireteam before the next match started and the banhammer popped me. Is that irrelevant?

In your recent history you have a few DNFs. I am not saying it again
Hi, i played through 3 matches of grifball and sure, i had a few betrayals per match, but thatâs to be expected of grifball, and the next thing i know, i get banned for âgriefing team mates ban expires 20:05â or something like that, the ban system in Halo 5 is screwed up, i dont deserve to get banned for what usually happens in grifball, it is very unfair.
343 needs to fix their faulty ban system, especially if someone gets banned for going through grifball and getting a few betrayals spread out over the course of 2-4+ matches.

Why you getting mad I asked a simple question? I left 1 match today and before that was 2 days ago so in a couple days time 1 DNF means 9 hour ban. I just wanted some info for future reference.
So Iâve quit 2 games in the last 50 or so Iâve played and I get the bannhammer? I quit the last one because I had people on my team just standing around, not fighting, and giving kills to the other team. Fix this already! Give people a set amount before the hammer for circumstances like this, not just banning them. What happened to the warning before? Come on guys, everyone paid for the game and service. Yes, I know dropping can mess with the quality of play for others. So can the people who spawn and just stand around giving kills.
Itâs beyond time for a revamp of the Bannhammer.
Finished the match with a victory, as soon as it showed the victory screen I got banned?!
-Yoink- YOU 343 AND YOUR -Yoink- BANHAMMER! No one quit at all. FIX YOUR -Yoink- BANHAMMER!

> 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 weâre still losing by a lot. Specifically Iâm 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 thatâs not the point. The point is, if my team is getting destroyed, I decide itâs not worth it, and I want to quit, there should be no consequences for that. Itâs 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 werenât even ranked.
You are the reason the rest of us are suffering from the ban hammer. Your stats are not amazing to be quitting games⌠just because. The ârealâ fight is why we are being banned from the crazy amount of disconnects via the TERRIBLE 343 servers⌠because your bans for quitting are justified.
What was mine and how long
What was mine and how long
I was banned for an hour for leaving 1 GAME!!! I left because my friend and I were going to play team arena instead of Fiesta but when I left I got banned for leaving ONE MATCH COME ON 343! itâs starting to get ridiculous, Ivâe been banned for leaving matches before, because it was too laggy or I had to get off the game and help out around the house, or I was going to throw my controller though my TV because of -Yoink- hole players or I just wanted to play something else. I mean getting banned for leaving one game is just f***ing stupid, and Ivâe only been banned twice not including today. so why the harsh punishments for leaving games. also ivâe been banned for leaving a game playing another one and when I finish that game I got banned for leaving too many games even though I only left two games, and I played another game all the way though before I was banned so really tone the bans for leaving games down.
I played Halo 5 yesterday and today this week. I received a 3:00 ban for quitting too many games. I quit (and please feel free to check my Service Record) a grand total of 1 game. One. And the elapsed time between that quit and the next most-recent one was at least two or three weeks, if not longer, of regular play. This is the second time that this has happened to me. I have never been banned from anything before I started playing Halo 5, and my Halo career alone goes back to about 2009.
I do not even understand why or how I was banned because I quit from the match (losing badly and already a man down) and then played another to completion. THEN I was kicked from the server and told I was banned for quitting. I simply do not understand what mechanic or criteria is being used to ban people. I consider myself to be a good and respectful gamer of integrity. I donât wear a mic, simply so I wonât say anything I regret to anyone else. I donât T-bag, I donât cheat, I donât use a lag switch or anything else, I donât betray my teammates and I donât quit my matches except in the most extreme of cases. Why am I being punished?
343 needs to adjust the banhammer. I have never had such bad feelings about a Halo game. Iâve been pushed back to Reach more than once since Halo 5 came out, because Reach simply works and is fun.
Please fix this. I donât expect any replies or even acknowledgement of this post, and I am well aware that it took longer for me to type this out than for my ban to expire, but on principle, I cannot just let this go. I am personally offended by Halo 5âs banhammer and implore upon 343 to do something.
End rant, say what you will, if anything.
Was just banned for service disconnection at the last second of a grifball match. I left a match earlier but was not banned this time though I lost connection and was banned. Seriously why would I quit while the dude says defeat?

The banhammer is sometimes delayed, that can be the cause.
I swear there better be a falcon in âthe memories of reachâ does anyone have any news about it?
Boo hoo i quit 1 match and got banned. There u go snickerdoodle⌠like anyone who maters actually looks at this. Same thing with another post that never got resolved that i posted Here. Real problems donât get answered unles the majority is effected. I had to do research on different sites for that one, so you can only obtain a company comendation once no mater how many other companies you join. Info they donât tell you.
So the moral of the story is⌠leave this site because real 343i employees donât look or use this site very often. REDDIT.
2 in 20 games DNF spread over three days.
Of those two gamesâŚOne being late for dinner, second one - getting absolutely ruined in fiesta slayer.
The second one was followed by an break where I left the xbox to go and do a few things. Come back and finish another game (lost). Next thing I know, defeat screen kicks me back to menu and I am banned.
Banned. For 8 hours.
Get. STUFFED.
Fix this crap, 343.
Surely the âOffical Threadâ on a Halo Guardians forum should be read by 343i. Or at least someone with influence should be reading it to try and affect real change. Iâve been banned for 9:00:00 now after 3 quits in 3 days. I usually quit when itâs 2v4 (as its NOT FUN) and if a team mate keeps spam grenadine and killing me. It usually shows as a kill to the guy Iâve just killed, but the green damage give away is a tell tale sign of poor players. My last quit was a newby who actually stood next to me, looked at the colour of the armour and started to kill me. I messaged him afterwards to vent my frustration and his answer was âIâm newâ. Again, this isnât FUN. I paid ÂŁ60 for a game and ÂŁ40 for a subscription, stop acting like you own the Internet and let me enjoy the game in the way I want and not the way you see in your utopian society. I will not be purchasing a 343i game again and even though I have stuck with Master Chief through thick and thin (I even had exchange tours with ODST, Reach and halo wars), I think itâs time to leave the core. Back to COD for me, as I am left to my own devices to enjoy the game.
My original post got taken down in a different thread, even though, it was of a different topic - to constructively improve the system, rather than simply complain on a forum âwhy I was bannedâ - but let me âfollow the rulesâ and move my post to here, even though, there is no written rule as to what I broke [still waiting on a reply from the one who took down my post :)] - I feel like they just want my post buried honestly:
In my opinion, the banning system is so freaking broken in this game itâs pathetic. It was actually okay at first, and now itâs gone way too far! I got banned in GRIFBALL - for team killing, I legit killed roughly 2-3 teammates - but guess what? Thatâs what happens in grifball when youâre swinging hammers when a guy is about to score and you just spawned WITH YOUR HAMMER OUT.Having a banning system is great, truly, it is. It forces people to actually finish games regardless of whether or not they are losing, it prevents excessive team killing (which by the way should definitely be adjusted in Grifball; itâs pretty obvious to know if someone kills intentionally in grifball NUMEROUS times [7+ times or so]). But the saddest part of all? It claims to boot people for inactivity - cool, awesome, glad Halo 5 has that down. Oh wait, it doesnât. Know why? Because people have been doing this since the beginning of Halo - especially in Halo: Reach - thereâs this marvelous invention called tape, or even a rubber band, in which your controller registers you moving even though you really arenât controlling your player - even better than that, you can just leave your controller upside-down on your couch. People canât get banned for inactivity if the system is that flawed sadly, based on ONLY movement - youâd have an even better chance at the entire team voting to kick the person, and then, if the person does not hit the randomized button that pops up on their screen within 30 seconds, they get kicked.But letâs not groan and moan about how about the simple things - after all, people do get kicked and banned for legitimate reasons. There certainly are people that rage quit 500 games, but letâs be honest, kicking them and banning them most likely is not going to deter people from rage quitting. If it did, it wouldâve worked in about ten other games that are trying to implement the same system. You canât change peopleâs gaming habits (for the most part) simply by saying âthereâs punishment if you do itâ - people do exactly what they want whenever they want, which is why simply punishing people has roughly a 25% success rate without some other form of reinforcement, such as a strong bond to the individual enforcing the punishment, or some other aspect that makes the punishment seem justified, or actually removes something good (i.e, if you leave 5 matches, you get no xp for your next 5 matches). If my teammates are good, great, and if theyâre bad, oh well - itâs a video game, I donât really care.
However, What I DO care about is actually being able to play my game. The banning system acts like a 5 year oldâs babysitter - âyou done goofed, so, you no play game no more.â - Whatâs worse than that is the fact that your punishment (at least according to the 343 forums and other sources) increases with each offense that you get. So, for example, you get banned once, you get 10 minutes, the next ban may be any amount of time past 10 minutes now. Whether or not itâs true, I donât know, but supposedly some people have been banned for 24+ hours - bit ridiculous huh?
Now, for all the people who are going to go against me, bare with me, I am not saying remove the system, I am saying improve it. Here are the following reasons why this needs to be improved:
This system really does need to be addressed. Iâve only been banned once in this game and that was because of a glitch in the servers. I have less than a 0.6% quit rate, so Iâm a very tolerant player. I had quit one match, then about a week later I get banned right after completing a match. Had not quit at all after the last 7 days(which before that was over a month. Over 200 or more games in between each quit.), yet I received my first ban being 4 minutes. Nothing too bad, but it was absurd enough for me to post on here. I was removed from a completed game with a message saying something like "Banned for: Reason: " it didnât even give me a reason because it was a total fluke. The system had no idea why it issued me a ban. Iâm sure this doesnât happen often, but the fact that it does happen just goes to show that the system needs to be tweaked a bit.
^ Perfect example - I reviewed his service record for several pages, and only saw ONE DNF - LOL
For all those moderators out there who claim âtheyâve never seen a legitimate caseâ - please take a look at his, hmm?
