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

> I I keep getting ban Radomly I would be just done a game and at the lobby screen then it will say I’m banned or even at the mode select lobby I have left a few games cause of lag but it was a 15 min ban then it started happening and now it is at 8 hour ban can you please do something???

I was running with a team of 4 on my last game of Team Arena, we were up 2-0 on CTF Fathom, when 3 of us were disconnected from the “Deticated Server” and we got banned for 10mins. Im not upset I can’t play for 10mins but I don’t want this to affect me in the future… when do the resets happen? Every 24hrs, 7days, month?? Thanks 343.

First grudge: It sucks that we can’t play 2 player on one console anymore.

Second grudge: Due to first grudge, my friend and I are obliged to split up and go to separate houses to play Halo. All is well, and I begin to play a match while I wait for him to log on. I accept his invite when he logs on and NOW I’M BANNED FOR THIRTY MINUTES??? WHAT???

Granted, I dropped out of two matches yesterday to take phone calls (first matches I’ve dropped out of since purchasing Halo 5). Does this, and accepting an invite justify THIRTY MINUTES of wishing we were playing a previous version of Halo??

I was disconnected from the network right when the game finished and it still gave me a ban. The game before it I quit because my team had literally zero hope of winning and I was wanting to save the trouble (the score was like 15-32 or something like that). I only quit ONCE in the last 20+ matches, so I don’t see how I should get banned for this.

I was disconnected and also got banned it happened while I was playing doubles

I am banned for 3 days without doing anything! I am so pissed!

I know if it wasn’t banhammers in Halo5 the community would be a lot more positive

Played Doubles with a friend last night. Several matches, had a great time. Then in one match I lost connection to the game. When I re-entered matchmaking I got the banhammer for 9 hours and 36 mins. Had to call it a night… wtf??? I mean c’mon, ban the folks that are constantly quitting or have a pattern of breaking the rules, but a single disconnect gets you banned? That’s lame 343!!

That has happened to me many times! I lost connection to a game and the next moment I get banned for many hours/days! 343 should remove ban if you quit or fall out of a game one time caused by bad internet connection! It’s the same thing when (by accident) you kill a team mate and the you get banned for several hours! That is so retarded af!

You’ve quit 5 out of your last 10 matches. There is nothing random about your ban. It takes the system a match to catch-up.

There are no resets.

Leaving a match to join your mate is still considered quitting. Your DNFS stack.

It takes the system a match or two to catch up. Quitting is quitting regardless of your reason.

3 out of your last 10 DNFS.

5 out of your last 10 arena matches are DNF. You quit that is something.

Are you sure that wasn’t 9 minutes and 36 seconds? You aren’t banned for a single disconnection, it has to build up. I don’t see any DNFS in your recent history besides the one you mentioned.

Post above me in spoiler bubble

Bungie has nothing to do with halo anymore. I counted 11 DNFS in the last 7 days and I stopped before I got to the end of the 14th.

I did not quit no games, I was kicked out repeatedly while trying to start a game with the error "my fire team has change ", I was the only person on my fireteam. it’s not my fault i was kick off I should not be banned at all for the server mistakes.

kinda messed up

banned again for 7 -Yoinking!- minutes because of getting disconnected from ONE game. Bungie was NEVER this strict with their ban system.
