Well I can play warzone so this isn’t the end of the world. But I can honestly say I haven’t played arena since my 7 hour ban, which was days ago. I just want to know when I log on to play in three days I won’t have a 4 day ban before even playing the game.

incorrect. Look at my game history, it will show I dont quit or leave games one game today was quit. The second game today that had no outcome was left due to loss of internet. If I quit regularly my ban time would not have been less than five minutes.

5/23=2 DNF in 10 games on page 1
4/8=1 DNF at this point only 18 games played
3/29=1 DNF only 30 games played
you see my point? i stopped looking after that. no matter the amount of time in between games all of your DNFs add up. eventually you get a ban. which you did. so no not incorrect. next time actually look at what i said. you had 3 DNF within less then 30 games.
So i have been being banned lately from completing a match (then is says victory or defeat and the screen goes back the lobby) and then i get a connection lost and this happened many times before and it just happened now and i dont now how to fix it or if there is even a fix. (also i didnt even lag during the game.

you have DNF in the game before you get that message ban hammer has a delay of 1-2 games before it happens. so if you quit game 1 you get to play game 2 then you will be banned for you quit in game 1

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.

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.

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.

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
> > > >

If I’m playing a game, and make a couple of rookie mistakes, getting infected super early, and its round three and I have less than half the score of.the guy in the lead, I am not going to waste my time finishing a game I know its physically impossible for me to win, when that might be the only game I get to play all day. If I’m playing a game, and made some awesome plays, and then got killed simply because someone was better than me, I’m ok with losing that game. Just getting a couple of good kills is enough for me. But again, not gonna waste my time if I got lurked on three times in a row and had no time to even get some good kills by the time its almost over. And where the hell is theCasual Gaming Space on halo? Not everybody wants to be ranked all the damn time, and worry about stupid rules. Social playlists are specifically the gametypes where you should be able to play casually, e.g. however the hell you want. And if you disagree, move along to another forum where you can talk about how much you love deep-throating 343. Thanks in advance.

> > > Lol I have been playing infection 90% of the time since it came out. But based off your response all I can say is have fun serving your bans for quitting then. Tried being nice but you are to entitled to think you deserve to quit cause you can’t win an infection game. You also said getting a few good kills is good enough for you. Yet again it’s infection unless you are LMS you really can’t do that. In all honesty. Either way I was understanding what you were saying you are just to entitled to actually comprehend that. But no hope for you. Keep quitting then and enjoy your upcoming bans. Lmao quitting cause he got infected early. Funny stuff

> >
> > Actually I get good kills pretty regularly, at least every other game. You think your better than me? Why don’t you add me and find out. I just checked your win %, its 53.with all my quits, mine is 49% . I’m liking those odds. After you get pwned, you can complain to your 343 mammy about how you got tea-bagged by an entitled a-hole.

> Lolol this is the funniest thing ive read in a while. I wasn’t aware you were so salty. So I assume due to your response you realize you are over reacting cause you aren’t allowed to quit infection. And all I simply stated was unless you are last man standing kills aren’t that good. But that’s ok. You quit games you are getting stomped in. So you never challenger yourself. Keep enjoying your bans. And never trying to win even though you think you don’t have a chance. Yours is also not what you say Did you forget I can check yours as well? I like how you don’t have time to finish a game yet you have time to come in here an lee responding and think you have time for a 1v1. Which in truth what does that solve? You would prob just quit that if you didn’t do as good as you wanted to do. You have repeatedly said that. So it is I have doesn’t have time for quitters.
Well put.Feeling is definitely mutual.
Over the past 2 weeks
I have left 4 games.
Over 2 weeks.
Of infection.
Which is social.
And I get a 9 hour ban?
Why?
Why does quitting a social gametype ban me in the first place? for 9 hours?

So days doesn’t matter. You quit those four games in less then 30 games played. Also every DNF adds up. So being banned for 9 hours you have quit in the past an been banned a few times. Being that every DNF you receive increases your chance of a ban and a longer one at that for now

But it’s a social gametype too.
With ranked? Sure, I understand.
Leaving anyone in a 3v4 is irritating.
But in social?
Really?
BTB, people can JIP.
Infection, people should be able to JIP (idk if they can right now, but they should be able to)
But still, no…
Banned for quitting social.

While I agree in JIP is optional you either shouldn’t be banned or the ban hammer be less strict for the social playlist but in sure they would have a harder time implementing some kinda code for social and ranked quits to be separate. Until then all you can really do is see the warnings given about quitting and try to avoid it as much as possible cause every playlist gives the same warning before going in
As what kihn x ju said, the warnings are there, it’s just that people do not pay attention to them, and if they do, they ignore the warning and come crying here and moan about getting banned.
Simple way to not get banned: If you don’t like the rules…don’t play the game…if you breake the rules expect the concequences!

But in any system, when people think that a certain rule, or law is wrong…and people voice that opinion…
Which many people have done, it gets changed.
I respect 343 for a lot of the changes they’ve made.
But regarding how strict they are towards bans? That’s something I don’t respect them for.
Sometimes it seems 343 are too stubborn to listen to what the community says.
But I guess in the mean time, the broken rule will stay which will either send Halo 5’s population lower…
Or won’t change it at all because of how easy people can just make new accounts and repeat the same “offenses”.
Bans being so strict isn’t fixing anything.
People can either come back and break the “rules” more…or the game’s population goes down…

i just think 343 does not have the man power at this moment to truly make adjustments to the ban hammer. i mean to rewrite code on telling the difference between social play list and non social, might be harder then it sounds? plus they could run into hic cups that would cause it be accidentally be stricter. maybe after their update schedule they will be able to spend more time dedicated to this, but yea until then just gotta head the warnings for now
So I was playing a ctf game on truth and the other team I think was lag spiking or somthing cause. The lag was the worst I’ve seen in a long time.
I took a couple videos to show (not sure of I can attach them here) anyway the game got tied 2.2 and went into over time then after a few seconds the game ended saying I changed fireteam and then Im in the main menu. So I record all that and I start a new game and Im banned for 11 mins. Wtf 343 this is mega bull…
I’m banned for… lemme count… 7 days? Zero warning? For manipulating what? Piss off. I’m like top 75 in play time. I’m on this game everyday. Ban your top players and you’ll lose your already diminishing fanbase. This game pulls less than 10k a day guaranteed and you may have lost a 10+ year player if I don’t get a better explanation.
I literally lagged out of one match and I was banned. All I see on this forum is people getting banned by the “banhammer” when they lag out, or get kicked because of lagging afk. I got banned from lagging out of one match… Really Banhammer is a joke 
getting banned for doing absolutely nothing wrong. I live in Iowa so I have a really bad ISP so every so often I lag out of a game. But when I come back to halo after a week and lag out ONCE, and get banned… Well anyways I got hit by the ban hammer for lagging out only 1 game. Thanks 343 for the banhammer.

EXPLANATION AS FOLLOWS: You have too many DNF’s in your record.
To get a 7 DAY ban means you wil have to have had numerious bans before, you do not get a 7 day ban straight away.
23/5/16: 4 games played 1 DNF(the one that got you banned)
22/5/16: 14 game played 1 DNF(Rage quit?)
21/5/16: 14 game played 6 DNF(4 dnf’s in a row)
20/5/16: 3 game played 1 DNF
Total 9 DNF’s out of 35 games is a 25% quit rate, also if i took the time to search a little further into your game history there will most likely be alot more DNF’s in your game history.
Simple way to not get banned: don’t quit.
So I see that moderators care more about a language barraier than providing help for banned players …

Most of the time community members respond to why someone was banned. No reason for a mod to repeat the same thing
edit. I noticed your previous post
you has 3 DNFs in less then 15 games before the fire team error. Had you not quit those games then the error would not have kicked you. By your record that ban was inevitably coming
