Today our game has crashed twice and I got temp banned from the matchmaking twice because of a crash I had no control over.
Crash 1 happened before the game started
Crash 2 happened during a Fiesta Match on Halo 3 Waterfall
If players crash because of the game failing to load a match or the map being too laggy (Waterfall appeared to drop my FPS during gameplay, I use Console) and they get temp banned from something they do not have control over, then it’s obvious the temp ban system needs to be fixed to where leaving too many games in a short span of time causes a temp ban rather than leaving ONE game and being banned for like 5 minutes.

Unfortunately they won’t change it since there’s no way to effectively tell who actually crashes from people who purposely crash their games in order to get out of them. It would just lead to abuse by people trying to skirt around bans in order to get what they want.
So sorry to say, they’re not going to change it at all.
This is why a ‘return to game’ option should be added so if a player crashes in game then they could get the choice to rejoin to help the team or if they refuse then they should face the punishment for quitting. Temp bans are needed to stop the frequent quitters and it’s not always going to be easy for them to make a system that can tell the difference between ‘quitter’ and ‘legit’ crash.
I feel your pain, I had my first crash in H4 ranked on Friday. It sucks, I had two on Friday, one was a power surge from a storm and another was a H4 ranked match. I also had another H4 ranked game drop/crash today.
It sucks to get banned for something that’s not your fault. 343 should have fixed the game crashing issues before adding even more skins and increasing the quit ban times. Hopefully the crashing issues get fixed, it’s also frustrating to see teammates give up and afk when the match begins to get out of reach.
Afking is also a problem, and with the ban system you are forced to stay in matches you probably wouldn’t want to stay in otherwise. Hopefully in time the game crashing issues can be addressed so that issue is removed from equation. It also would be good to have some type of afk detection system as well. Fixing both of those issues won’t solve everything but it would move the needle in the right direction.

Do you have them off already? I have seen quite a few players say turning them off has helped.

I still have the skins enabled because I like seeing how my weapon and other people’s are presented in multiplayer, and if it WAS the weapon skins then I don’t see why I’m crashing on Halo 2 Anniversary, and I haven’t crashed in a while.
I too have had this happen repeatedly. This is ridiculous. I’ve spent so much money on Halo over the years and this is how i get treated? Constantly temporarily banned because of their bad matchmaking system. Not to mention hackers in games that you have to sit through and deal with in fear of getting banned for leaving broken matches. Fix the game 343. I’ve been temp banned 3 times this week. Enough.
My Experiencec with crash causing console shutdown has been with skins . I have a xbox one S. I have turned them off halo 3 and halo ce Zero crash. I Have heard from some forums that crossplay can have effect. I think the skins have been modded in instead of being intergratd in properly. If any of you play Fallout 4 know that Mods if not done correctly can cause crashing including full console shutdown. You try messing with setting or see when it triggers take note as much info about the match as possible.
This is something that needs to be looked into. The Xbox One is crashing less but when it does after the second ban now it’s not worth waiting on. This is more annoying than people that quit. I would rather have an AFK player in poo spawn rather than have a ban system that can not tell the difference between a game crash, network drop, or player quit. This is punishing the small amount of active players MCC does have.
