So I got banned for halo 5 having bad servers. My connection works good in all my other games. I’ve quite 1 match the whole time I’ve been playing. And that was because the csr is a complete joke. My party was good players and we played a team of diamonds and onyx player twice in a row. That makes sense. Anyways my game kicks me out everytime a new person joins my party chat. So I get banned. I don’t know what 343 is doing but bungle was much better. Way more competent.
Every time I try to join my friends to make a complete fireteam (which is quite often) I get the ban hammer strikes screen from arena FOR NO REASON. I don’t quit out the match im not even in a game I’m in my menus when I join my team. This is starting to piss me off because I want to play arena with my friends but I can’t because I’m banned for hours at a time… Please fix this I literally have done nothing wrong I don’t quit matches I don’t betray my teammates at all. Nothing I have done should provoke this from the game please fix

They warn you not to quit in the middle of a matchmaking game. It is on the screen right before you start searching, so how much more clarification do you really need?
The disconnects are unfortunate, but the fact remains that you shouldn’t be surprised that you received a ban for “only” quitting ten percent of your games. That is still a lot. In contrast, I have now completed 1964 games since Halo 5 launch day and haven’t quit one yet. It’s no coincidence that I have never received a ban, either.

To be clear, the two out of 20 were both disconnects. Generally, I had 2 out of 70 active quits. This is not ten percent. Nether of these active quits were in my recent 20.
Warning not to quit is not notice of how the ban system works (it’s clear many people are complaining of a ban from disconnect after not playing for days), when and if it resets, and whatever else that would make notice fair.
It doesn’t change the absolutely relevant fact that I received two bans in twenty games, both for disconnects. It would be a better pill to swallow it any of this was intentional on my part, but as many people have said, it’s not. The fact that we are having this conversation shows how faulty the system can be. There could be at least a grace period between disconnects; I got one ban for lagging out one night, and another the next night because of this bogus fire team change message. I was playing alone, too.
Multiplayer games have survived for a long, long time without such a broken feature. It is unnecessary and there’s better ways to go about it.

now not trying to say you are wrong, but in my experience DC in arena do not show up as a DNF. and i know for a fact my internet is top notch, due to the plan and price i pay. so any DC i experience is from the 343 servers. the DC you have might be on your end which is why the DC counts as a DNF for you.

That may make sense, but my most recent Arena match was terminated early because of “a change in my fireteam” (I was playing alone so this was odd) but it still showed up as a DNF. Also, the 2nd DNF in my past 20 games was with my buddies, and we were all thrown from the room via disconnect. I know it wasn’t on my end, and I definitely did not quit. 343 did have something about the servers in the daily messages because a friend had an issue joining our fireteam.
I have open NAT, but the Wi-Fi, like anything that isn’t hardwired, has its moments of being shoddy. Most of the time I experience no issues with other multiplayer games, netflix, youtube, etc. This just strengthens the idea that 343 needs to rework the rules. As others have noted, I pay for xbox live and I paid for the game, and I pay for fairly good internet. It is clear, and also a shame, that the punishments are being unfairly escalated due to behavior that the system isn’t meant to penalize.
I get why people defend the system; having people who habitually quit sucks and they should be punished. But there is no dispute that people are on the chopping block who do not fit that bill. The ban system, as it is, is over inclusive, and thats a problem.

the fire team message i got one time, and never looked into it in my record to see what it did, but i use wi fi and am not wired in and have no lag issues. but enough of me, the fireteam message is odd and that seems like a bug on their end, in your defense. but if you were in a fireteam and the whole party got kicked, maybe your buddy was the leader? and his internet is shoddy which screwed you also, cause a few times in infection my whole fireteam has been kicked, but i was not the leader and neither time showed up as a DNF. one time was the leader rage quit from the game and 4 others got thrown at the same time. luckily though we didnt get anything against us. i do agree there needs to be a better determination between quits and DCs from 343 or user end. but overal the system benefits the guys that get annoyed at habitual quitters. but it does not need to punish those who receive the fire team changed message. specially since there is usually no fire team in the beginning to even change.

you were banned for quitting the match or two before. you do not get banned for finishing games. the system kicks you from the lobby to serve you the banned which you received earlier. it does not need to be changed at least you got to play one more game before you were banned. it checks to see if you DNF correlates with getting a ban

Thanks for the thoughtful response man. I’m just gonna grind out some more matches and hope I don’t get DC’ed. Definitely won’t quit from hereon out lol.
Does the punishment system sort of “reset” or, at least, de-escalate? I’ve heard/read conflicting statements regarding this, and it seems like there is no reset (at least, not for completing 20 or so matches).

if there is one it would need to be X amount of games played, and defiantly not 20. it for sure is not amount of days in between games cause some ppl wont play for a month then quit first game back and still be banned, but that doesnt change your quit %. i have been banned a few times, usually rage quits, or i left certain games to play in a fire team. so from my experience the longest i have ever been banned was like 9 minutes, which was the last one i got. it happened after i quit mythic shotty playlists. it was one quit after prob 100-200 games played. idk the exact amount but it was a lot and i got banned. so the time didnt increase, but even one quit can still get you a ban. in my experience i have more DC from warzone then arena, and arena seems to have received the update where DC on your end wont affect getting a ban.
TL: DR my experience bans wont increase if you go X amount of games (in the 100s) without a DNF, but depending on the situation i have not experienced a change in how many DNFs it takes to trigger a ban
Halo has kept banning me for hours at a time. It has been going on for the past week. I am just in a game playing honest (No team kills, quitting, etc.) and then all of a sudden I am returned to the main menu. It says “Your fireteam has changed” then I get the banhammer. I have been quietly looking at this forum for the past 3 days trying to find a solution. I have seen other people post my exact same problem. It seems the people on this forum skip RIGHT OVER this issue to go argue with someone who was actually quitting and team killing. This is a big problem. I could just be sitting at the title screen and it just comes out of the blue saying “Your fireteam has changed” I literally have done nothing wrong to deserve this ban and I would hope someone will reply to this thread with a solution. PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TELLING ME I WAS TEAM KILLING OR QUITTING BECAUSE I HAVE MULTIPLE RECORDED CLIPS ON MY XBOX SHOWING ME GETTING KICKED OUT AND BANNED FOR NO REASON!!!

if you have been reading the forums like you say then you will see ppl have said they dont have an answer for the fire team message. thats why you probably get skipped over. its a known issue that there is no solution for at this moment in time. how long have you been getting this message for? and when you first got the ban this week how long was the ban for?

It has been going on for like a week and a half. The first couple of times, it was 3 hours at a time. No biggie, I can go play other games for that while. Then 3 days ago, it bumped up to 9 hours. Then 2 days ago it turned to 24. Then yesterday, It kicked me out of my FIRST GAME AFTER THE 24 HOUR BAN AND BANNED ME FOR THREE DAYS! Sorry for the caps, just stressing my frustration with this issue.

Man that’s horrible. I’m afraid to even play again because this has been my experience; however I’ve only hit three hours. I’m studying for the bar this summer so my time to play is limited making these bans a real pain in the rear.

to start 14 DNFs in 110 games, before the week and a half you say the issues started up. i bring this up because even though the fire team message is not your fault the times could have been prevented if you didnt have as many DNFs, which you have already said they have only been going on for a little over a week, so i looked at the games before that. even though it is a shame players get punished for things out of their control, you would not be suffering as much if any if you didnt already have a track record built up on DNF for your GT. as of now there is no fix for the fire team message unfortunately, i can suggest running open NAT and going hard wired to try and prevent more DCs in the future, that seems to help a lot of ppl. in the mean time if you want to play arena, the xbox allows you to make free accounts so you could spend 2 minutes making one and play in the mean time. other then that for now there is not much that can be done

I guess I just have to wait until they have a solution or my 3 day ban is up. I already uninstalled it for the time being, so I won’t create another account. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP (no sarcasm, just showing honest gratitude), just finally glad I got some kind of response out of this.

Hard to see what happens when you post on an alternative account
Having just been banned for 10 minutes, I’m using that time to propose an update to the matchmaking service.
Problem
As it currently stands if you leave a game for any reason, you receive the largest reduction in rank possible for that game as well as a timed ban (if the occurrence is frequent). For players that actually quit this is a fair system. However for those of us that experience connection problems or an in game glitch, this is hardly fair. Now I’m not suggestion that you distinguish between a player quitting and a player lagging out, as some players would turn of their routers if they wished to quit.
Solution
What I am suggesting is that the game prompt a user with an option to rejoin their previous game, saving both their rank and the rest of their team. This is becoming a standard feature and can be seen in good use in games like Hearthstone and League of Legends to name a few. I myself have a fairly good internet service and rarely lose connection to the server, but it does happen. The more frustrating problem however is a glitch which claims I have left my fireteam or that my fireteam has changed, forcing me back in to the main menu.
I hope to see this feature included in a near future update.
Opinions from the forums?
My son has gotten my account banned from online play,does anyone know how long this lasts? He is younger and didn’t realize leaving matches in the middle of them was not allowed. I’ve explained to him why he can’t leave but there’s nothing on there that says how long the ban is going to last. Any help is appreciated.
