Ive been banned for getting disconnected several times! Like 5 minutes into a game I get disconnected, especially on Infection! WTF I cant even play forge without getting disconnected now. Fix your -Yoink- 343, stop banning me because you cant keep a server stable for longer than 5 minutes.
This isnt a me problem, this is happening to all my friends!

Hi. The system is crap. Thanks for nothing.
I.GOT BANNED.FOR. 23 HOURS!?? XXStorkpoizonXx
23:54 Saturday the whatever.
I cannot be held responsible for your blatant poor quality servers. I have served all of my sentences for quitting as I.deserved them but this. I am just ashamed
Banned for being automatically disconnected by console

I was idle for one game due to life⌠I played the next game and after the game it said i was banned. I donât understand. check my gamer tag. raspingyeti. 343 plz explain.
Iâm posting more out of curiosity as I personally understand and respect the bans. To all of the people complaining about the servers, how old is your router, and how much bandwidth do you have? Iâve got an ac1900 router and a 150mbps connection, and I NEVER get disconnected. But, thatâs not why Iâm here. I was just wondering, as Iâm sure many have noticed, that the Ban Hammer is entirely too strict specifically in Grifball, and was wondering if anyone knows if there have been any help with that or if there will be any upcoming. Itâs next to impossible to not get a betrayals in that game type, which means a ban a night if you donât have a full team of friends. So, any news?
Dear 343 and moderators,
It has become and issue where every day that I play I get banned from halo 5. The alert states that I âhave quit too many games.â Truth be told, I havenât quit a single game, I have been disconnected from my FireTeam twice in a row. I am in no way pressing the quit option. It is becoming an issue that needs to be fixed. I have always been a good player since halo 3 and I hardly ever quit. Why are you guys doing this to me? Please respond. It is evident that there is a lot of tweaks and modifications that need to be done to your ban mechanics.

I find this thread really disgusting. I dont remember being banned yet but one of my friends was banned for 7 hours because your servers are a joke.
I see plenty of content being released but Ive never seen any notification you are running any type of server maintainence to check how the match-making is running. Simply put⌠The match-making is awful. Every other game im in a team mate leaves, gets kicked, or the match is laggy.
Cant say its my connection when Im not the one getting kicked or lagging. Ive never witnessed this type of neglect with any other game. The only game that has these issues is Call of Duty⌠but they dont use dedicated servers.
Which makes me believe we are being lied to. These dont play like other dedicated servers. When I play Battlefield 4⌠I RARELY get kicked or see someone teleport across the screen.
Maybe you need to set your priorities straight, 343.
Before releasing content⌠Fix your match-making.
SEARCH PREFERENCE DOES NOT FIX YOUR SERVER PROBLEM.
Thanks.

I only volunteer to help keep the forums clean, I donât work with 343 or have anything to do with the actual game or its matchmaking systems
Okay, I have to do my very best not to absolutely go crazy on you guys from 6 months of frustration with this so Iâm going to lay this out calmly:
Halo 5âs Banning system was designed by an idiot, the system can see patterns regarding disconnections when there are none and doesnât make contextual decisions based on what is going (eg, disconnection AFTER a game is complete counts as a ban worthy offense).
It also bans me for partying up with others when Iâm in a lobby. Thatâs not quitting or âUnsociableâ,itâs the complete opposite. It shouldnât be a problem.
At the moment, my Internet is pretty terrible and will disconnect for about a single second every now and then. There isno pattern and is more frustrating for me than anyone else. I get that no one is to blame for this but your Algorithms should be smart enough to understand that there IS NO PATTERN.
Iâm also sick of the 2 banworthy offense rules, it should be 3 like every other game as if I quit once, I will get banned at the end ofthe next game for âdisconnectingâ even though I have a good score, have finished the match and would only miss out on my final scores and REQ points. With 3 strikes, this would happen less and people would enjoy the game more.
Another problem is that the game bans you for FAR TOO LONG. I went from a 45 minute ban to an 8 HOUR ban for quitting once and then trying to join a friendâs game in progress. This is frankly unacceptable and each ban period should be 15 minutes to half an hour maximum as this allows people with bad Internet to rejoin sooner and not be penalised so harshly. This is fine for other players who betray, insult others or quit all the time as itâs likely that 30 minutes is enough to deter them.
Iâll be honest, Iâll quit only if I see that either I havw a laggy connectionwhich results in many missed headshots or if the team Iâm facing is woefully out of my league. Sometimes I get both. The latter wouldnât happen if two things were changed:
A) Stop teaming people of different ranks up with lower or higher ranked players in ranked playlists.
B) Use a better Algorithm to find more suitable player skill matches consistently.
At the moment, this is a HUGE problem for me and only causes me to resent the game I once loved more and more. Everytime I get banned from Arena, I take to Twitter, say what happened (often angrily written but I donât curse on Twitter) and add the hashtag â#Halohatesfeedbackâ. This may seem a bit juvenile but this is keeping in mind that I am literally at my witâs end with the banning system (and more so at the man or woman that implemented it) having tweeted to Halo, sent numerous requests for this problem to be fixed in almost all of my monthly Surveys and even Youtube Comments sections in their videos.
Finally I have come to the source trying to soet this problem out once and for all. I will continue to spread #Halohatesfeedback for as long as 343I ignore me and only when they do contact me about this issue will I stop as until they do, Halo really does hate Feedback and walks all over the individual players trying to help them to build the bezt game possible.
The best way to beat the unfair ban is to not play. I play halo 5 for a short while then I leave to go play uncharted 4 on ps4. I probably would enjoy halo better if they stopped unfair banning.
the ban is unfair: if they really cannot detect if you quit or got disconnected. âWhat a sad way of conductâ
Im actually glad to see more people getting unfairly banned, because you will probably end up like me and refuse to play much of halo5 for this reason; and this will force them to stop the unfair regulations. The more unhappy gamers we have the closer we get to overturn this absurd âBanhammerâ, hopefully; lets ban the Banhammer.
iâm one of the first few that has been disturbed by the unfair bans. I complained here and was met with disrespect and ultimately no answer from 343. soon they will have hardly anyone playing this game server because theyâre too busy banning everyone.
This banning system must have been created by someone who thinks with discriminating motives imo; this person must be stopped. i will stop feeding that person my money.
I keep getting booted out of games with âThe fire team has changedâ and it left me with a ban, anyways to fix this whole fire team thing even though im not in a fireteam?
I only left once and I was banned for 9 hrs. This banning system sucks. Why canât it be like halo reach. Banning here is hurting the community you 343 are lucky to have and if u ban us for playing youâre game well you wonât get that far
Oh my whining babies. This isnât a case of 343âs servers. This is a case of your ISP not being up to snuff. I rarely drop a connection but it does happen. I have never been banned. If you are being frequently banned, you need to learn about either DMZ, port forwarding, your ISP or your router. Stop the aching whining. We have a guy on our team who frequently lets his dog out and or stops playing randomly and he has been banned a couple times for a few minutes. If youâre being banned for hours, the issue isnât the servers. Itâs your setup. Grow the hell up and stop complaining. I think there should be stricter bans. Iâm tired of playing 2 on 4 or 3 on 4 or even the other way around and looking up the quitters gamer cards to see that theyâre playing another game of arena or they are playing the campaign. Finish the game and then move on to whatever else youâre going to play. You wouldnât take your ball and leave if you were playing in public so stop being such huge, gigantic babies and play the game out or fix your connection.
Agent September, you absolutely explain away your own argument. âAt the moment, my Internet is pretty terrible and will disconnect for about a single second every now and then. There isno pattern and is more frustrating for me than anyone else. I get that no one is to blame for this but your Algorithms should be smart enough to understand that there IS NO PATTERN.â
That is the pattern bro. If youâre not responsible enough to take care of your connection, why should everyone else suffer? Maintaining a working environment is just as important as other types of quitting. If you get kicked because of your connection, again, your fault. You absolutely admit fault in this but then whine about it being unfair.
This is a you think, not a 343 thing.

Since the internet is not up to snuff as you say. well, I must give Uncharted 4 At Theifâs End some serious extra credit. Im playing that game on the ps4 now with absolutely no internet connectivity issues. not only do they provide a great game but they also managed to fix my internet too⌠Thanks Naughty dogg. but unfortunately they did not fix it for halo5 to work flawlessly though. Bummer, I wonder whoâs fault this is? I know, lets blame Naughty dogg for haloâs disconnecting issues; because we wouldnât dare blame this on 343i now would we.

You cannot be banned for 9 hours for quitting one game. The ban system operates in a progressively, so each time you get banned extends from the last. To reach 9 hours means you must have been banned quite a few times already
Suicide is a stupid reason to get banned. I mean who is dumb enough to intentionally kill themselves in a game? Itâs maps like Tyrant that are easy to fall off of and kys and youâre going to ban me? Being idle for a minute is to short a time to start banning players. You know what Iâm doing in that time: Getting a glass of water, taking out the trash, answering the phone or the door, reading and responding to a text, taking a piss, getting a snack, all these take a minute to do give or take. If people are getting banned for being gone for 1 minute, ONE -Yoink- minute you really need to work on the ban hammerâŚlikeâŚnow.
Iâm repeatedly receiving the âFireteam Has Changedâ error mid game which is forcing me out of my gamesâŚThis is causing me to be banned over and over for something Iâm not causingâŚIâve been banned twice today for 40 mins and an hourâŚI just want to play Halo and Iâm randomly being kicked and bannedâŚ
