I only get the chance to play Halo every few days due to my work schedule and life and such. I very seldom quit a game (which can only mean that the threshold for bans is extremely low), but it does happen every so often when I just cannot stand my team mates or I get into a completely imbalanced game (or I join a match in progress where the other team is pummeling the team I spawn in on). So yes, I admit to the occasional rage quit, I’m not perfect. The thing is, I just quit my first match of the day, and I got banned for it. I haven’t even had the chance to play Halo in 2 or 3 days, and the last time I played I also only quit one game. So can somebody PLEASE tell me what the threshold is for being banned and how long a quit stays on your record? Are you only allowed a certain number of quits in the entire lifetime of the game? A certain number per month? Week? Day? What is it? I figured after a few days of not even playing, quitting a game today wouldn’t even matter. Why isn’t there any info on the “ban” section of this website on what specifically triggers a ban?
Forever and ever and ever.
You need to finish more games to not be banned. I guess you could say it is like water. Add salt to it it starts tasting bad. Dilute the salt with more water then it becomes more tolerable.
It seems like people end up being permanently black listed and once that happens, they will get bans very easily and for longer duration. Best thing you can do is change your name, wear a disguise, move to Alaska and start a new XBL subscription.
I don’t even think the ban hammer ever resets lol.
This competitive nonsense goes too far sometimes. Reach had a good ban hammer I think. I don’t quit very often, but I understand that things happen, and I think Reach had a good balance of fair vs strict. It even gave you a warning when you were one quit away from a ban.

I’m not sure that’s how it works. I just checked my service record and the last time I quit a game was 4 days ago actually. Since then I have completed 41 games without quitting. I wouldn’t exactly call that “habitual” and worthy of a ban, but I guess they’re trying to be strict (even though it hasn’t worked well thus far because I see quitters nearly every game).

My hypothesis is it’s based on percentages. Though I’m certain once you’ve been banned you will be held to a higher standard.
Well im just assuming. Because I have quit a lot of times, whether it has been from connection or dissapointment, but ive yet ti be banned.

Exactly which is why my ban makes no sense. Based on my estimates just quickly looking over my game history, I’d say I’ve quit 3 games out of the last 100. In my opinion, that is not worthy of a ban.
