The official Halo 5 "Why was I banned?" thread

I wonder if every time you are in a game and you out for bad connection you consider the game as lost or as if he had abandoned ??

I want to see how well 343’s servers hold up to the flood. I mean, the flood of 80gbps. For twelve hours. Time is money, and a lot of fat nerds are ready to crack containment.

Are you suggesting that someone is planning to DDoS Halo 5?

i got banned for lagging like really?! And it said I was quiting too much! Create a better system. Disappointing. :expressionless:

So I don’t do anything wrong but yet I get a 3 hour ban? This is ridiculous. They need to calm down on the banhammer for a while, especially since there is a whole thread just for this issue.

I was banned 3 days right After i reported some gut, just for nothing. Just in the finish scene of the game my xbox “lost” the connection and this -Yoink- happens. Can you please explain this?

hi, how can I crash the game from the matchmaking arena and I always find myself banned?

If you accidentally disconnect a time or two, you won’t get banned. Instead the system looks for patterns that can’t happen accidentally. If the banhammer detects enough wrongdoing, you were doing wrong.

This remark on their behalf pure trash. I’ve been banned for lagging out in the past. Often when you’re in the POST GAME MENU!

And now, tonight, Infection has been laggy. I get kicked. FIRST KICK in over a month. First time, BAM!

This whole system is utter crotch rot. As if HALO didn’t have enough population issues, these doofuses have to pull this repellent crap.

I assume you were kicked after the game ended? During the post credits end sequence? (I might be wrong) but looking at your record what appears to happen was you have a DNF the game before and your next game you finished and received a DC error. That error is the system kicking you out to serve a ban once you complete a game. The system generally has a delay. If this is not close to what happened so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Is there even a point in posting in this thread? No one who can do anything about this is replying.

I just got banned (only 30min) because of connection lost. I’ve been losing connection all of the sudden for the past couple of days from about 1/5 of the games I play and on some days it feels like it is about 1/3. I admit I have quit a game here and there because of other players lag. (This was all happening on Infection, the rest of the games types seems pretty smooth.)

I’m getting pretty aggravated about the banhammer! I get connection drop about every 3 to 4 games (probably a bug in the update) but it bans me! I play through the whole game every time, I can’t help what the bug does, I would like the bug fixed and me unbanned

This is where xbox support sent me, which I know that this basically does nothing. Anyways, I will go ahead and post. I am frequently getting banned from arena because, well, the servers are crap. I win a game, it says Victory!, then as it goes to the carnage report, boom, “you were disconnected from the servers, blah blah blah.” Now, I have been banned for like 6 hours, I do not quit often, when I do quit, its for obvious reasons, teammates being dumb, not playing the first minute, etc. But then this crap?! I got banned again today because it “disconnected”. I did not quit when one of our teammates left the game, we won by 1 kill and it was 3v4, because the game before I quit out of because my teammates were terrible and we were getting destroyed. So i stayed in this game, battled it out, and we won. But then DISCONNECTED, banned for 45 minutes. That was it for me because that crap happens way to much. Needless to say, either 343i needs to fix their servers and stop with the “pattern” crap because it is banning me for your servers sucking, or it needs to be done with the ban stuff and just let it be halo, people quit, de-rank them and thats it. So if you could respond to this post that would be great. Tell me why this crap happens every day I play. Cause it’s making me not want to play halo anymore.

If you would take time to read other post this same thing is not a connection issue. You just said you quit the game before. That is why you were banned. Once in the carnage report/post game lobby the game is registered as finished and complete. Due to the system usually taking 1 game before it serves you your ban you generally get to play one more game. Once you have that game finished the system kicks you from the server to put you in timeout for the quit you had in your previous game. Once again you are not banned for disconnecting in the post game sequence you are banned for quitting. Which you admitted to doing the game before.

AHHH. YOu are right, i did not read that. I am still not happy with this, because with all the crap that goes on in Halo matches, (people leaving early, not playing, etc. etc.), to leave a game, ONE game, and then be banned for that time is just ridiculous in my opinion. Anyone in their right mind would not be happy with the “ban” system. Let alone I left a free for all to join up with a friend. HAHA

I was just banned for 24 hours for excessive quitting.

I quit 1 match, when my wife got home.

Can some one explain this to me?

Saw your other thread man. I feel your pain. The ban system needs some serious fixing. Last time I got banned was probably a couple months ago. I was in a game of strongholds, I hadn’t quit at all that day or in the 3 weeks prior. Won the match, as soon as the end game animation ended and switched to the post game report I got hit with a half hour ban. Good thing when you get banned in arena, you can still play warzone and vise versa, but that’s still bull.

It’s beyond frustrating. In a gaming world with so many options I am disheartened from even playing this game any more, and will probably never buy another Halo title, since they don’t even have online support who will respond to you at all, even if they can’t change anything.

because the servers are garbage halo 5 its toamazing game but servers fail same to master chief collection

Currently playing halo 5 and every so often I’ll keep getting banned after about 5 games. I’ve never left game, betrayed my team, or afk. anyways I’m currently banned for 1 day, 7 hours and 45 minutes😐
