> Hi. I’m writing this because I’ve been banned for 9 hours for quitting a SWAT match where the other team was spawn killing, it’s not the fist time I’ve been banned. This chain of bans started on Friday, at my friends house, (I was there mainly to download Halo 5, which I bought a few days prior to Friday, because my internet was slow and it wouldn’t download at my house. So that was the first time I played the game) there I left 3 times due to the fact that every time we started playing they wanted to do something else or we wanted to eat, etc, that got me banned for 19:50’ish minutes. After that I got banned again on Sunday for 3 hours for just leaving one game (I’ll admit it, I raged quit) and then on Monday (yesterday) for 5 hours because of something urgent I had to do. Now, like I mentioned before, I’m banned for 9 hours because I didn’t want to stay in that crappy lobby. Is there any way I can get my ban lifted?
>
> PS: Please, 343, stop trying to get everyone to be “MLG” on Halo 5, it just takes the fun out of it.

one you admitted to quitting and two i counted 9 DNFs already for someone who just got the game. in under 70 games. whether the time you are banned for is reasonable or not the ban is next time dont quit

> 2533274797708135;1203:
> SO my issue is with the match making server. Upon completing an arena match (doesn’t matter what type) I get kicked from the lobby ( it says you have been disconnected from the server) after the winner is showed on screen and it treats it as a quit and my ban time is continuing to grow. Ive already contacted xbox and what not. My connection , latency , download and upload speed and NAT are all good. This is becoming a ridiculous issue for me. Is there any freakin way to stop getting punished for a Halo 5 server issue.

that message does not count as that game being a DNF once the game says game over its over. you are being kicked out of the lobby to serve a ban from a previous match you quit. easiest solution. stop quitting. once again once game says “game over” its over. game counts and everything. you are being banned for a match prior that you quit. the ban hammer has a slgiht delay on when it actually kicks in

I just got banned for 2 hours playing Grifball due to accidentally betraying teammates when they’re close to enemies and they end up kicking me when I do it too many times, it was an honest accident and its happened to me 3 times today, and Im losing hope for Halo the more this happens.
They should know betraying multiple times is bound to happen in a gamemode where you have gravity hammers and there is one ball, you’re bound to have some splash damage.
Either they need to get rid of betrayals or up the limit of them because this is ruining the game for me.

I feel like betrayals from Griffball should be forgiven, because I have been banned for the stupidest reasons in a matchtype with so much accidental grav hammer betrayals
 this sucks

> >
> > If 343i’s Halo servers were working correctly, no one could claim they were banned from connection loss or randomly getting the “Left fireteam” (WHEN PLAYING SOLO!!) error. Yes, I quit matches; when I’m getting my -Yoink- handed to me in Slayer with 24 deaths and 3 kills. As is my prerogative to quit. Thankfully, that does not happen often. Usually, when I’m down 10, 15 kills I don’t quit. I don’t like quitting. If you were to look at my matches, though, it looks like I’m a bona fide 12 year old kid who quits as soon as I had a bad start, or was down two kills or whatever. I have a bucket-load of “DNF” matches, however, if you look at a lot of them, I “quit” when I have positive KDA (sometimes VERY positive KDA). Who does that?! Better yet, who does that SYSTEMATICALLY only to get another “DNF” match where everything is 0 just minutes after?! I have a lot of matches where I was not doing good and I got “DNF” on those too, If they were really bad, I might even have actually quit them. A lot of them, however, was not my fault. Most of you will probably not believe me, there is just one problem here.

> i agree the servers connection is the issue, but if you have that many DNFs, in a hypothetical world, whats to say its not your end causing you to lose connection. just for thought also are you state side or over seas?

Of course, that is a reasonable aspect to rule out. In short there are three things that might cause connection loss between my XBONE and the Halo 5 servers:

  1. If I had a really low internet connection subscription with my ISP. I have 24 MBPS, so it’s not high, but it’s not low either. At certain hours it works for me to play Halo 5 without getting “connection lost”, while I play music with Spotify and my girlfriend streams movies from Netflix. Deducted from this, I’m pretty sure 24 MBPS connection should be enough
xD
    The fact that the game works even when I obviously allocate a lot of my broadband connection on other taxing services, while it sometimes does not work even if my girlfriend is not using Netflix and I’m not using Spotify further helps me rule out this possibility.

  2. Communication between me and my ISP is unsteady and therefore causes my XBONE to lose the connection to the Halo 5 servers.
    To clarify; Worst case of 2) means the communication between the Halo 5 servers and my ISP is flawless, but the communication between me and my ISP is not.
    This can be ruled out due to the fact that whenever the “Connection Lost”-error displays, I have not had any pause in the Spotify music, nor has my girlfriend had any problems with Netflix during those times. Hell, my XBONE has not even been logged out of Xbox Live when it happens xD

  3. Which leads me to the third possible cause:
    Communication between my ISP and the Halo 5 servers is unsteady, causing my “Connection Lost”-error.
    The fact that I get the error at certain times (most likely when there is a lot of traffic on the server connections) leads me to the conclusion that their servers are under-dimensioned for the amount of data they actually need to process when the usage are at it’s peak. (as in, a peak in the number of players)

So in regards to the possible causes and the ramifications they should bring, I can only surmise that 3) is the most likely cause, meaning this is a problem with 343i’s under-performing, and most likely, under-dimensioned servers.

I live in Europe, but that’s beside the point. The game is sold in Europe, ergo it is supposed to work in Europe.

FIX YOUR SERVERS!!!

 this sucksI

I haven’t said it in a few pages
 Booting your teammates in Grifball is counter-productive to winning the game. It gives your opponent a power play (4 vs 3).

If the opponent is about to score
I’m swinging the hammer/sword in hopes of stopping/delaying him/her from scoring. Or if our team is getting spawn killed and I try to kill that opponent and suddenly a friendly spawns in the game or Spartan charges in front of me as I’m swinging
all result in betrayals.

Racked up three more betrayal boots/bans because of the current Grifball betrayal boot policy. It’s the ONLY game type that has resulted in me being “banned”.

Please 343 consider your kill maps and see if betrayals in these areas are high.

Thanks

I’m going to have to call bs on this system, I quit 1 game of FFA today cause I was getting pooped on, start up a new one, finish 2nd place, finish looking through the stats, press b “you have been banned for 48mins” this happens to me all the time, one time I got a 2 day ban for finishing a game of ffa. Can this be explained??

343i, can you please fix the Banhammer.
I quit 1 or 2 games a week, so every once in a while, I leave a game to join friends and all of a sudden, I can’t play for 2 hours.
Could you release an update so that your offences are cleared either weekly or bi-weekly? please?
My friend plays Halo 3 times a month and sure enough, he leaves one game last night and BANNED!

Fix this please! -J

Normally the ban kicks in because of quitting the match PREVIOUS to the one that was just completed. In my rare experience that has been the case.

Hi everyone !
I’m French so sorry for the mistakes

I don’t know what happens with my game since a few days. When i’m in a game I’m kicked from the server and a message appears at my screen “no more fireteam” / “plus d’équipe” in french and i’m automatically ban from the servers. Yesterday i was banned for 3 hours and i don’t even know why
 I hope someone will find a solution for this issues.
Thanks for your answers. Millesime1995

is Halo as serious as a firearm? If I paid for the game, I can quit, it’s really as easy as that. All you angels who talk about how many DNFs I have, argue with that logic. Think about buying a watch from Rolex
and you take it off at your desk every day, is Rolex going to come and ban you from wearing it for 2 days because of your early quitting? Nope. You will argue and say that I am infringing on your online experience, but
is your online experience PLAYING A VIDEO GAME important enough to snub a consumer who paid for a product, to then pay for an online service, and then who paid for the game itself? No -Yoink-. It’s not. Face it
you playing Halo is not that important

I got banned for "fire team change " makes me leave the game halfway thru every freakin game
 got banned for 45mins. Only had the game 3 days.

A couple of things.

1)I understand all the licensing and what not. This technicality is wasted on me. I’m not talking about modding an XBOX, I’m talking about playing the game a certain way that is in no way dishonest.

2)“You don’t get to tell anyone how they should spend their time when you know not a single thing about them.” Uhhh yeah thats my whole point to 343. I value my time, so why should I waste 12 minutes a game when it’s lagging out or all my teammates have quit?

3)I never said “important” I said “serious”. What I meant by that, is that this isn’t life and death. I shouldn’t be chained to a laggy game for fear of punishment
also, if I’m 2 and 24 why on Earth is it vital for me to finish?

Also when I posted this message i was upset for a simple reason as well. See you lumped me in with a group of “habitual quitters” but I was banned with less than a 4% DNF in my last 75 games. (I believe I had 3 DNFs all due to lag) Maybe you misunderstood my message as saying I quit alot. That’t not the case
if that were the case I wouldn’t be so upset. In fact I finish most games i suck during, because I don’t care that much. But when its ridiculous or the lag is unplayable
wasting 12 minutes of my life is unacceptable.

Also consider this scenario:

People have found a loop hole in the idling thing. They will be active and shoot up at the sky, completely screwing you over in the process. So they wont be banned for ruining my game, because the automatic “ruler of all” doesn’t see them quit, betray, or stand idle. SO me
the person who isn’t being dishonest has to lose
be 3 on 4, etc because he found a loophole and I don’t want to be banned?

First off, before commenting get your facts straight, I have 7 “DNF” in Arena, 3 of which where when I was at my friend’s house and I wouldn’t count those as intentional, so that means I technically have 4 quits in 5 days: second, people just need help on this thread, not your bull -Yoink-.

> First off, before commenting get your facts straight, I have 7 “DNF” in Arena, 3 of which where when I was at my friend’s house and I wouldn’t count those as intentional, so that means I technically have 4 quits in 5 days: second, people just need help on this thread, not your bull -Yoink-.

Warzone also counts for arena band no matter how much you think it doesn’t. I did get my facts straight. Also intentional or not it’s still a quit so technically you still have 9. You just need to accept the facts your a quitter and can’t complaint in truth. Like how are you going to use “I was at a friends house so those i don’t count” well I’ve had friends come over and play and we don’t quit lol

Also unless I’m getting dates mixed up you have quit three more times since you got banned so still

enjoy your ban I was trying to help I even said the time might not be reasonable but your ban was.

I have literally never quit a game, or broken ANY of the rules and I’m banned. Saying that the system knows I was doing something wrong is absolute garbage. That is simply 100% inaccurate. I’m very frustrated with this. I’m banned for 40 minutes because the system disconnected me?! The fact that I have no one I can call about this is also ridiculous.

It banned me for quitting too many games, after completing my THIRD game of Arena. Bugs and a sloppy UI I’m assuming. The ban only lasted 43 minutes, and 11 seconds. Thanks o_o

I completely understand! I have had similar situations just like this. And they seem to be happening more frequently too.
