Don’t try editing it either, I quoted it in one of my posts. - you can’t say the DCs are separate and then say the bans are not - that’s literally 2 different ideas… After all, the DCs cause the bans, since after all, leaving is a violation of the code of conduct , i.e, misconduct (you know, that ā€œagreementā€ that you keep shoving in people’s faces?)… If the DCs are separate, so are the bans. Either A causes B, or A doesn’t cause B - you can’t say A is also C. If you honestly think that’s not true, then go read the banning regulations/requirements via the 1st post on this thread, or via snapshot of old description of misconduct on Halo 5 pre-update.
> Pick an argument and stick with it, and make it sound logical instead of thinking of a smart thing to say in the moment. The concept of causation is fairly clear in the banning system: if you leave too many times, you get banned - and in fact, you have made this clear in numerous of your posts, as has anyone in this thread.
> So, glad we got that agreed upon - but, since you want to say the DCs are separate, aka, the causal variable i.e., A, then the ban, B, is also separate.

In other words, a punishment - thus, the punishment is the ban for the deviance of leaving matches, team killing, etc.) and other forms of conceptology. In short, if you go against this (i.e., causation), you go against years of research and ideas… Please, please, PLEASE do not make that mistake.

TL DR- but my point still stands. You get the DNF in warzone for a DC cause it’s JIP but the arena games I have DC after the update don’t even show up in my game history. So yea the DC are different but you still get banned from arena no one gives a damn about warzone like that lol get over yourself. You are trying to hunt something that will never be. You are wrong plain an simple. Warzone DNF do count in arena bans. Just go through the forums. I know I even linked you to a guy who said that I just don’t feel I have to prove you wrong again. Either enjoy the game or enjoy you future bans but you coming back here is not going to solve anything. Your maturity level is quite clear

So I just got banned for like the 5th time and it’s up to 3 hours now and was wondering if the time you get banned for ever resets so I’m not stuck waiting hours or days to play.

The banning system in this game is to stupid it needs to be fixed.

At this point in time I have been cataloging how many times I utilize an ultra-rare or legendary req pack items or boost for an arena / warzone. There have been 90% of games in which I have utilized one of those two levels of req packs boosts that end in various disconnects and game play loss of connection. I get error messages such as the server is down your fire team has changed the Xbox entirely just shuts off or the game Halo 5 itself shuts down and closes. Every time I’ve attempted to speak to Microsoft I’ve been given the run-around or trapped in loops on their webpage when I try to connect to a contact service option it just requires me to sign in to my Xbox Live and Microsoft online account over and over and over again and never reach any destination for assistance. I’ve attempted to set up calls with Xbox support every time I do so they don’t call when they say they will and then suddenly when I go to try to request a callback again, the system is down. When you have to pay $500 for a console 60 to $100 on average for a game and $80 plus just on the online access for that console despite you paying for an internet service provider in order to utilize the online content and then any paid digital content such as req packs fail to function appropriately or the games are always disconnected or dropped basically rendering your expense for those that packs a waste of financial resources. I’m honestly believe in the game is rigged to deliberately increase the odds and intensity of gameplay or drop the player from the game in order to force them to require more monetary expenses for req pack boosts or upgrades. The second person who attended to assist me with this issue took all my information numerous times finally look up my account information said they would take 2 to 3 minutes to respond after they reference the account information. They never responded at all then magically the call back option was gone again. The only support I can never access is community volunteers because Microsoft apparently has no staff that is ever available to discuss any errors or issues with gameplay and content. I have taken my support of Microsoft and its gaming systems and thrown in the trash. I have filed a complaint with my bank ftc fcc and the Better Business Bureau along with CNN. My hope is maybe if other celebrities like snoop, and a great number of everyday Joes, complain about Microsoft’s apparent lack of empathy towards the failures of both their connectivity issues borderline extortion, and the aggravation and fraud they force on their customers forced their hand to finally rectify the issue. I purchased 3 memories of reach req packs, and 111,000 rep points in the short week of that event and after opening everything had 4 legendary arena 4 legendary war zone 5 ultra-rare Arena and 6 ultra-rare warZones boosts, I’ve used 3\4 of them, with 90% of the benefits of those boots being denied me because of Disconnect system failures and connectivity issues and Microsoft does not give a s*** I am now officially reporting then to my bank as I said for credit card fraud and failure to deliver digital content in which I have purchased.

I quit one game. one single game so I could include a friend in the game, and I’m banned for 12 hours?! you guys are out of your minds. nice job with mcc by the way. :confused:

So I was banned for a whole hour on a seprete account for no reason. I was playing a FFA game and (BTW this happens WAY too much) at the end of the game when they just showed the leaderboard it boots me out And it thinks I left the game so it temp bans me, WTF!! and before that it happens for 30 MINUTES I’m afraid that it will keep doing this and will perma ban me. If 343 don’t fix this I will quit halo entirely, I don’t want to do that since I played this since I was a kid. Pls help.

Yes it will keep on doing this and the times will get longer and will never re-set because you have either leave/quit/DNF/AFK/idle or betray in games
Also you must have had previous bans aswell, but as you have posted on this forum with an account specifically created (i think) to make this post, your game history can not be seen as you have not posted under the accoun that has been banned.
Sorry if the post sounds a bit harsh it’s because there are so many people that post on here and say ā€œI was banned for no reasonā€, and invariably after a quick look through the players game history numerous DNF’s are recorded.

I left one match of infection because the lag was extremely bad. This was the first match I had left. And I get banned for 20 minutes. Later that day I lose connection from a match and get 30 minutes banned. Can you explain this? It says we don’t get banned fr leaving just one match, but I did…

ā€œYour Fireteam Has Changedā€ error is the reason I’m banned EVERY time I’ve been banned, it happened two weeks ago during the weekend and I got up to a 3 hour ban…Today I’ve been kicked twice totalling 3 hours…The first game had a single kill left, we were winning and I was top of the leaderboard…I’ve yet to receive a reply on either Twitter or the forums…

You have 4 DNF’s out of 39 games played today. two of those DNF’s were one after the other.
It stated in each gametype and match making rules are in effect (which include quitting/dissconnect/idleing/AFK and betraying)
If you are experiencing a high volume of DC then troubleshoot your router, reset it, try a ping/packet loss test, also if you are in wifi this can affect the connection, also check the settings on your xbox to see if you have a moderate or strict NAT setting, this can also affect online play.
Sadly if all of the above is happening then then the time will continue to increase as you get banned, I would suggest troubleshooting your router before trying to play again, would be interested to know what the results are, also on a side not the reagion that you are from could and i stress could affect matchmaking, ie from half way across the worls(like i am eg UK).

> so idk how much connection issues you have you have 17 DNFs in less then 40 games. 6 are literally in a row. now if all of those happen to be connection you need to look into a new provider are getting better internet. even if half of them are connections issues thats still a lot you quit. point being with that many DNFs its hard to assume they are all DC issues. but yea i have never seen anyone have that many DNFs from a DC issues. maybe a few but not 6 in a row
>
> edit- 43 DNF in less then 140 games since the end of january. (jan 28) in that you had the 6 in a row, then another section with 4 in a row and then 7 in a row. so with all of that it makes it harder and harder to believe its solely connection based…

It actually turns out that I had a severe noise interruption in my internet line that would cause me to spike anywhere between .86 Mbps to 13.05 Mbps. So every game I tried to play, I lagged out of because of spotty connection, hence why I had so many DNF games in a row. I think I have the problem fixed now though.

ā€œYou are wrong plain and (not an) simpleā€
Your point can’t stand on 3 feet let alone the 1 foot that it has left - you have 2 ideas in your head that oppose one another. My maturity level is quite stable until I witness somebody be a hypocrite; secondly, I’ve never insulted your intelligence or put you down in any shape or form until you began doing so to me, numerous times. If anyone lacks maturity, it is you my friend. The way I see it, is you can’t deny everything that someone else says and then think everything you are saying is correct, especially while going against a basic concept that you have used I’m sure since elementary education. I’ve tried to ā€œplay niceā€ but unfortunately that doesn’t work with someone who always has to post a flaming comment at the end of every post (which I’ve taken the liberty to do now in return :slight_smile: )
The fact of the matter is, no one on this forum, not you, not I, not anyone, is 100% right - if anyone was, a forum wouldn’t be created in the first place.
Additionally, saying that no one gives a damn about warzone is a joke in itself - the biggest game mode, no one cares about it? The mode that 343i constantly improves with new add-ons (not just new maps to play on like arena) isn’t cared about? Gosh, I wonder why the company is investing in it then continuously - if the company really believed that they wouldn’t invest in it at all… In fact, it likely wouldn’t even get ā€œwarzone firefight.ā€ I’m glad that you dislike warzone, but not everyone does. I like arena just as much as warzone, so, sorry? But this is irrelevant to your flawed argument- bare in mind, primarily this part is flawed, not all of it.
My last post before this one was written not merely by my thoughts, but by evidence that applies to more than just this game or code of conduct alone. I suppose as my very last comment to acknowledge what you said though would be this: telling many of these people that you see get banned that ā€œyou deserve to be bannedā€ isn’t really solving the problem either, is it? Some people do deserve their bans, but everyone…? + Even if they do think they don’t deserve it, telling them ā€œwell you did deserve itā€ isn’t really going to change anything, especially their thoughts, is it?

My exact issue. Haven’t had issues for a few weeks, then today I ā€œleft my fireteamā€ when playing alone and I was banned for 20minutes due to ā€œquittingā€. Other games recognize the difference. It isn’t a difficult thing to code. Maybe 343 doesn’t have the most intelligent staff?

So I’m not the only one getting banned ridiculously. Good. I thought I broke something.
It keeps stating ā€œmy fireteam has changed, one or more players is bannedā€¦ā€ I’m playing solo…
And the newest version of this is, kicking me all the way to the dashboard whilst I’m searching, then when I load up halo again, I’m banned immediately for quitting a match. :unamused::unamused::unamused:

Have you ever done any coding before? I hate the banhammer but saying its so easy to code is very arrogant.

Thus ending the Halo 5 ban thread…?

> Thus ending the Halo 5 ban thread…?

Yea right. As long as their servers are yoink
There will always be a ban thread
And the most common issue now is getting dced with the message
Left Fireteam
Funny thing is im playing solo
So 343i
Claps slowly**

For the hundredth time the servers kick my off and as a bonus they also hit me with a ban hammer >:(
I can think of any other game EVER that bans you from playing the game you brought and paid for?
It can be a pain to play 3,2 or even 1 against 4 but it’s a bigger pain when you kicked off the game and the get told " Because we lost you we are going to ban you for THREE HOURS".343 will never get another penny off me this bloody ban hammer is the stupidest thing I’ve ever found in a game it’s about time we BAN the ban hammer!AND BEFORE SOMEONE CHECKS ME HISTORY … It only show DNF NOT why I DNF

I’M TIRED OF LOSING MY BOOSTS BECAUSE OF A CONNECTION LOST!!! 2X IN A ROW I LOSE LEGENDARY RP BOOSTS. ā€œYOINKā€, YOU 343 INDUSTRIES. SERIOYSLY… YOINK U.
