Right but halo is a community. An more ppl don’t want quitters then there are ppl that want to be selfish. also it’s infection. If you are getting stomped it is more so on your end
and ability. I get you only have time for a couple games. But you still shouldn’t quit just cause you aren’t doing as good as you want. That’s one of the worse excuses ever. How are you going to get better if you don’t try against the odds? Also I don’t recall Zelda and Mario being online multiplayer back in the day. If you want games like that where you can quit whenever halo is the wrong game to be on. And yes you do care about winning and losing since you quit when you are getting stomped. That’s the definition of caring how you do. Quitting when the game isn’t going in your favor. If you literally didn’t care you would get stomped and say better luck next time

With the arrival of multiplayer online gaming, a need arose to manage online play so as to prevent cheaters, exploiters, and otherwise bad players from running rampant. Mario and Zelda were single-player, offline games, so they did not require the same level of supervision as multiplayer games. But even with those old games, cheating was frowned upon, and game companies discouraged use of things like Gameshark, saying that any corruption to the game caused by such devices would not be fixed by them.
Of course, quitting isn’t cheating by any means, but it is something that upsets the flow and quality of multiplayer games, especially in online shooters. You may think that social gametypes should be handled differently, but the fact is they aren’t. They are handled how 343i handles them. And, in all probability, no amount of typing in all caps or typing obscenities that get censored will change that. What you call “corporate overlords controlling what you do”, I call following the rules. Lo and behold, I’ve never been banned! A correlation, perhaps? So feel free to continue fighting for gamer rights, or whatever you want to call it, and quitting social games when you want. You’ll keep getting banned, but that is the risk you take.

Good thing correlation never means causation - as the famous example shows: drownings go up in the summer, and so does icecream consumption - but icecream consumption by no means causes people to drown.
Correlation or not, you should also be open to the possibility that people do get banned for illegitimate reasons - primarily poor servers, one of the biggest things any company should consider before initiating a system which not only bans you, but increases the severity of the ban each time. But we’ve already seen how this hasn’t been considered (i.e., look at the Master Chief Collection when it came out - it was so awful that 343 felt obligated to compensate early buyers)
People do get banned for legitimate reasons (quitting, teamkilling, and so forth) - but what about those who do not? No one gets banned for a single DNF (or disconnect, since this is a grouped category), but people certainly do have an influenced banned (if they get one) based on DCs, whether it be poor internet or simply bad servers.
I don’t advocate taking the system down, however, I do advocate at the very least fixing the problem of the servers. Certainly one could argue “a DNF could be a disconnect, or you rage quitting - no one will truly know.” - True enough, but if we implement some other systems such as imprints on leaving (please refer to my previous post - maybe on 50 or 60, I forget what page at this point - in short, the game tracks if you manually chose to leave, or if your internet really went out/disconneted from the server), at least we can improve it to an extent.
A banning “beta” or not, however you’d like to look at it, it’s flawed, and the game has been out long enough to at least make some progress regarding a core issue such as this.

DCs still count as DNFs - you can check my service record for Warzone… had a period of 3-4 days in which my internet company had issues across multiple states, another where it went back up and went back down (so that’s another DNF/DC), and another where my power ironically flickered and DCd me - a miserable week that was lol
I probably shouldn’t have been playing - but god knows I need my VGs <3
Even so though, assuming you read my last post before the 2 on this page, I have included video recordings (time stamped and all), as well as the service record, of an individual who had finished a game, won it, and then was banned specifically for that game since it technically counted as a DNF and not a victory after being kicked out. Previous matches weren’t the cause since it didn’t ban her for several games (I know there is a delay), but they certainly did have an influence on that one specific match banning her. Regardless, that one DC banned her. - DCs don’t always label as DNFs, but often times they do. Either way, it still counts as a mark on the robotic mechanism that bans you, official on service record or not.

if it was frontier internet wasnt even working period. but thats not the point, you warzone record only has a couple DNF in that time frame spread out over 7 days. you make it sounds like you were laggin out none stop, which if you had frontier and had the same issues you wouldnt even have been able to get onto the internet.
i also said since the update. im not the only player since the update to notice DC do not even count as a game played anymore. i have proof video with a time stamp and date, we only have your word

  1. wasn’t frontier, COX communications.
    See? http://money.cnn.com/2016/05/09/news/companies/time-warner-cable-cox-outages/index.html
    It wasn’t just businesses btw… it was across the entire North East. Never meant it was nonstop, but it happened a small handful of times. - Regardless, those are on my records no matter what, aren’t they? Which, in turn have an influence on other matches, should I DC (or quit, if that were to happen) again.
  2. “we only have your word” - well, no, you ignored my video posting with Nyancatsrainbow service record and video… Check back for it.
    Lastly, I never said that you were wrong, I merely said it’s inconsistent - which numerous of my posts have clarified (particularly those 2 videos that I just mentioned, which you didn’t look at - those are also time stamped, and “proof” as you say).
    Take care.

Yep, it was before said update. But that doesn’t change the fact that the DNFs in my Warzone are there, after the update, does it?
But here’s the videos, in case you wanted to see them.

2 videos since XBOX dvr only records 10-30 seconds, depending on the autodetect of “action” system in the device. - Also, before you attempt to make a comment on the “0” score at the end, you can see that the score on the bottom right wasn’t 0, and in her service record, despite it being marked as a win. Regardless, the system flawed in one way or another.

Off to play a game now; take care.

1452

ok i found the first video and this is where you are wrong, i watched it he was on truth and got kicked during the end came credits. BUT that exact thing shows he was banned for a game before. i am willing to bet if you go through his actual service record to that game you will see he is shown finishing the game on truth but the game or two before he has a DNF.
the system has a game or two lag between when you actually start serving your ban. once a game says game over it is over. it goes in your history as being complete. this is why i told you a week or so ago i dont need to see the video. he WAS NOT banned for a DC. he was banned for a prior DNF BEFORE that game.,

Too bad if you take your bet and shove your face into her service record WITH the time stamp you’ll see the match on her service record with the same exact people, the same exact score, and the same exact map. Not to mention, you ignored my point that I acknowledged the delay - and ALSO, the fact that it said disconnected from THAT match, and didn’t simply just get a ban for a different match with no Disconnect message. (edit: also, if what you say is true, she wouldn’t have received a disconnect message - simply just a banning message.)
BAZINGA! :slight_smile: you’re too high on your chair sir…
I gave you the videos, you can dig through her service record - or, dig through the forums and find the post again with the direct link.
EDIT: please don’t dig through her service record and look at other matches which are irrelevant to the one that actually influenced that specific ban - otherwise, that’s just back to square one where you started.

EDIT regarding your “just for you” message (daily limit):
Correct - but just for you, you even posted in a previous post saying that the delay occurs directly after the match ends - as a moderator of the forums also has posted I believe? Meaning, after that match ended, whether she DCd or actually quit, she would’ve been banned for it.

  1. You can call it the match that did it directly, meaning she should’ve been banned within 1-2 matches after that DNF (which is wrong)
  2. You can call it an influential match, a 1/3 strike more or less, in which the match which she DID disconnect from (with the disconnect message) is what banned her.
    Win win for me either way - the flaws are point blank.
    But it occurred long afterwards :confused: one way or another, something you said was wrong - you just have to choose what part friend. Until you do so, you can regard yourself as ignorant as I am. (Referring to the comment of you calling me ignorant; which, let me bounce back for a second, is almost as ignorant as you saying that a person’s amount of forum posts declares their knowledge of the game - and equally as ignorant as my joke retaliation where I said “you gots no gamerscore for the game, so you no know nothin bout dis game.”) Take care.
    PS - please stop saying “he” and “him” - it’s she and her, okay? Thanks for fixing it in 1 of the posts below :smiley: later

no lmao you are seriously so ignorant. anyone here will watch that video and tell you the same thing, anyone with half an understanding on how the ban works.

just for you i took the time to do this so you actually see you are way wrong about the DC
scroll to the bottom
you will notice the truth game gets a complete but the game before has a DNF… like i said the DNF from the match before got her the ban. generally you get to play one more game but once the game is complete, as in timer runs out or score is met and you make it into the end credits the system forces you out into the lobby to make you serve a ban from your prior DNF. idk how that is hard to understand. she was not DC for that game she got a complete on her record very very simple concept

@ CraZHoneyBadger what kihn x ju said is correct, the game that she got the “Connection Lost” screen was recorded as a win, and therefore not recorded as a DNF, this is in her service record.
If said game had not been recorded as a completed game i.e a “quit” then it would have been recorded as a DNF ( game in question 9/5/16 Free For All Slayer on Truth and placed 1st), this is not the game that got her the “cooling down period” that it stated at the end of the second DVR clip.
The game that most likely triggered the ban was the previous game that shows as a DNF (game in qustion 9/5/16 Free For All Slayer on Plaza 0 kills 3 deaths and 1 assist)
So what most likely happened was that from that DNF she then joined the game on Truth, and after winning that game and the servers recording that game as a win(also on her service record) the ban came into immediate effect and booted her to the selection screen, because the banhammer came into effect you get the “connection to server lost” screen.
So the game on Truth did not get her the ban and neither did the “Connection to server lost” i.e Dissconnect.
Also it seems that the banhammer seemed to be working quite fast as sometimes it kicks in after 2 or even 3 games after the DNF that triggered it in the fist place.

In short I will sum up: the game on truth did not cause the ban, the lost server connection did not cause the ban, the previous game on Plaza caused the ban.
Hope this adds a little clarity to the problem.

I got banned because of your servers back in halo 4. The worst thing is you don’t care.

ban hammer is ridiculous. We need more freedom. If someone wants to quit let him quit. Just add another player to the game

(edit: also, if what you say is true, she wouldn’t have received a disconnect message - simply just a banning message.)

> EDIT: please don’t dig through her service record and look at other matches which are irrelevant to the one that actually influenced that specific ban - otherwise, that’s just back to square one where you started.

> EDIT regarding your “just for you” message (daily limit):
> Correct - but just for you, you even posted in a previous post saying that the delay occurs directly after the match ends - as a moderator of the forums also has posted I believe? Meaning, after that match ended, whether she DCd or actually quit, she would’ve been banned for it.
> 1) You can call it the match that did it directly, meaning she should’ve been banned within 1-2 matches after that DNF (which is wrong)
> 2) You can call it an influential match, a 1/3 strike more or less, in which the match which she DID disconnect from (with the disconnect message) is what banned her.
> Win win for me either way - the flaws are point blank.
> But it occurred long afterwards :confused: one way or another, something you said was wrong - you just have to choose what part friend. Until you do so, you can regard yourself as ignorant as I am. (Referring to the comment of you calling me ignorant; which, let me bounce back for a second, is almost as ignorant as you saying that a person’s amount of forum posts declares their knowledge of the game - and equally as ignorant as my joke retaliation where I said “you gots no gamerscore for the game, so you no know nothin bout dis game.”) Take care.
> PS - please stop saying “he” and “him” - it’s she and her, okay? Thanks for fixing it in 1 of the posts below :smiley: later

Still confused I said there is a 1-2 game delay in ban. Which her record proved. So still lose lose for you. She quit on plaza then finished truth an was banned for plaza. Something known about the ban hammer. Very known a game or tensely that’s not a flaw. The flaw here is players like you an her not understanding how a simple system works
