I am not sure if this relates to topic .As I was playing team slayer the other day, some idiots decided it would be funny to start killing each other instead of the opponent team. So we were getting slaughtered by our own teammates and the other team. This lead one other guy to quit; I quit a few minutes later into the match. Then it banned me for 30 minutes, it’s ridiculous.
I dont mind being banned for 5 minutes, i really dont. What i mind is that i was playing a game and the majority of my team quits. When that happens, my quitting shouldnt be counted or should only count as like half of an actual quit or something. I have a family and a couple kids, so i dont get much free time at all and i shouldnt be forced to get hammered for 6 minutes by a team that is already better than my team. Now that 2 or 3 guys have quit, they also vastly outnumber us too. How is it fair that i get temp banned because i didnt want to sit through 5-6 minutes of getting flat out destroyed, my K/D ratio takes a huge hit, and I most certainly am going to get a loss added to my W/L counter. I know you cant keep people from quitting but i shouldnt be penalized for trying to save some time for myself by forfeiting a match i know im going to lose and moving on to the next one. Im sure this complaint has been said 10,000 times before but im saying it again because i have 5 minutes to kill while i wait for my ban to go away that im apparently so deserving of and added back into matchmaking. I love you 343, so why dont you just cook me dinner after a rough day. What do ya say.
Can you explain why I still am getting banned for 9 hour periods after playing almost 50 games a day or more without quitting. Getting banned from social infection for 9 hours when it hurts nobody and I paid so much for the game is a bit ridiculous.
I payed allot of -Yoinking!- money to get this -Yoinking!- game. If I’m playing a social playlist like infection, and am clearly not going to win, I can damn well quit whenever the -Yoink- I feel like it, BECAUSE ITS MY -Yoinking!- GAME AND I CANPLAY HOW THE -Yoink- I WANT!!! I work full time, barely have time to play 2 games sometimes. I don’t have time to finish a match that I’m clearly getting stomped on. I understand if it was an arena game, BUT LET ME PLAY SOCIAL GAMETYPES HOW THE -Yoink- I WANT TO PLAY THEM.

Legally speaking, you bought a license to play a game owned by 343i. Which means they legally are able to dictate how and if you are able to play. They clearly indicate the kinds of activities that can lead to disciplinary action such as bans, and quitting is included in this. So while you can choose to quit, you are also choosing to expose yourself to potential disciplinary action (banning). To a certain degree, you can play how you want. To that same degree, 343i can restrict you how they want.

Also on that note it being social you should not care if you win or lose, plus the odds are against you on winning so your are prov quitting it a lot just by the sounds of the defense you are using
So, I got hit with the banhammer. It said 974 left or something, so I’m assuming that’s a ten minute ban,
Would love some insight.
For what its worth, the quit was unintentional. Got invite spammed by a ‘friend’, went to pull up the guide to block them and accidentally accepted instead. Lost a Legendary RP Boost on it too.
I’m assuming that I got the hammer for quitting that one game, but if there’s another reason, I’d appreciate knowing.
Thanks.

> if someone purposely kills you and you killed them back one time for pay back, you wont get booted for that. but if you kept killing them then that is on you. you are kinda allowed 2 kills before your teammates get the boot option. but then think about this, what if that guy is just a troll purposely killing you for you to retaliate and kill him so he can boot you…who wins in the situation? he does cause he gets to boot you and now you are banned. but you and the other teammates are at loss. point being just be aware of how many times you killed that guy if you really think you have to justify getting revenge. (following him and tea baggin his dead body is enough revenge for me)

> i would be fine if you only get banned in ranked playlists. if it doesnt have a true rank next to it you should be able to play regardless of being banned or not. on that there are plenty of other things the ban hammer should do. like maybe you get banned for an hour at a time, but in the other game modes if you continue to quit or what not then you get rp and xp deducted. but if they are quitting they dont care about that stuff, which is debatable, or all the DNF players just need to play in the same lobby. that would be funny actually most games i bet wouldnt even get to the set kill/objective limit, or have the time run out before its over.
Believe me I know how trolls work. I’m also a battlefield player lol. My point… is simply… trolls are gonna troll. Some will gladly get banned by killing you. Leaving your team one man less or much more certain to lose.
-
I shouldn’t have to be obligated to play a 2 vs 4 arena match and or a 8 vs 12 Warzone match and literally wait to lose.(or joining a “enemy controls all bases. Defend our core, Spartan” bullspit match >:l )
-
lag outs and connection loss for some reason cause my most recent ban so idk how to explain that since I hadn’t purposely left a game that day.
-
I think I speak for thousands of us by saying that only 1 game mode should be affected by the ban and not the whole entire game mode. For example only being banned from team slayer and NOT ALL OF ARENA. Or being banned from Warzone by not Warzone Assault.
-
That structure alone will keep hundreds n maybe thousands of Halo players around and not discourage them from playing. Read the other posts that say “oh I got banned blah blah blah and can’t play so I’m gonna play a different game” on a NEUTRAL note… Halo would become even more popular and keep players AROUND by only affecting one tiny game mode and not an entire game mode.
-
This is just a waste because 343 moderators don’t really care enough to respond to all of us woth inpirtant topic points so consider all of our posts including yours and myselfs a waste of venting time. Reality.
Bad enough the banhammer is -Yoinked!- up… you could quit 1 out of 20 matches and it says you’ve quit too many matches. I could understand quitting 2 or 3 in a short amount of time… but -Yoink- you 343. Too bad they couldn’t care less about this thread.
Banned I got a 20 min ban so I went to play warzone and quit because I needed to reset box and game cause connection was acting up and I reloaded and got a 2 hr ban how is this fair, been playing halo since the beginning and this whole ban situation is giving me a distaste for the game.
Im disappointed. I’ve been playing this game since I was 7 and I’m 17 now, this has been my favorite game for 10 years. My connection is fine, I have been playing games without any problems, I don’t lag, but lately I will be taken out of a match halfway through when I’m playing by my self and it said “your fire team has changed” I wasn’t even in a fire team? As a result of this problem I have been banned 3 times in a row! Each time longer than the last, this is actually comical. I’m not the type of person to quit a game when I’m getting my but kicked, I never leave. But when it’s a game problem that snatched me out of the game and then get punished for it when this stunned ban hammar can’t tell the difference between a quit and a disconnect problem? It’s un believe able. I’ve been with halo for so long and now you guys are losing me. It hurts and it sucks. I wouldn’t make a statement about this game if I didn’t like it so much. But now I’m not sure. This needs to be fixed or a lot of players will stop playing halo and that’s something I don’t want to see but it’s true if the ban system can’t be upgraded enough to tell the difference between quits and disconnect problems. I’m getting punished for your Server problems? …that’s harsh
i explain my bann then forum gets locked? WTF ARE YA DOING!!??
y
2 hour ban!!! What in the actual -Yoink-?? This is a video game… and how is it I completed a match and then get banned I payed to play this game and this is completely overdoing it!!!

yeah this is the same thing affecting me too it hasnt happened today for me so far but my 2 bans came only from this i aint that guy that quits if im losing or something i just laugh and go on to the next match the banhammer isnt right here this better be fixed in the next update or im gone from this game if i get banned again from this
why was i banned if i´ve never commited one of the ban-actions …
i need to solve this problem, after i finished a game, i received an in-game message saying i have been banned but i had never commited some actions to be banned !!!
i lost money. this is injust… will someone inspect my ban?

I was banned for greifing my team-mates in free-for-all? This makes absolutely no sense. how can you greif teammates without teammates to begin with?
Can we, you know just not get banned from losing connection? even after completing the match but for some reason lose connection at the cinematic end scene. Yeah that’d be great 
But really why should I be banned for something I can’t control?

no in my videos, i believe this is after the update they started, but i have video of my most recent lag out, which if you check my game history the time the video was taken you cant find a DNF in there. DC now dont appear to give you a DNF, idk about that fire team message one though.
if you lose connection at the end cinematic scene like you xplain that means you had a DNF the game or two before and the system has a lag on which the ban hammer actually comes into affect

ok, I guess you weren’t paying attention. I have time to play maybe 2 games a day, then its off to work, come home real late, eat some food, pass out and do it all over again the next day. I couldn’t give a -Yoink- about my wins vs. Losses, I just want to be able to play at least one good game before I have to be at work. So if, halfway through a match, I’m getting stomped, I’m not going to waste my time finishing said match. -Yoink- all this noise about licensing blah blah blah. Back in the day, playing Mario or Zelda, I wasn’t -Yoinking!- penalized because I didn’t want to finish a level or a dungeon. You people are far too used to all powerful corporate overlords controlling what you do at your own house with your own game. That’s not how it used to work, and its not how it Should work. Making sure arena matches are kept fair by punishing quitters is one thing. But a social playlist that is also a free for all SHOULD BE PLAYED HOWEVER THE -Yoink- I WANT.
