no i ignored his request because i am in a party of my own, shortly after i ignored the request he quit, no black screen once again, no randomness , the game continued and he just quit and his spartan died. when i tried to connect the matchmaking i was greeted by the ban msg

alright thanks, i will do that asap

:confused: It happened again. This time i was playing on Alpha Zombies. I was playing and it was 2 round. Then the game stops. Because its trying to find a new connection. and it happened for about 5 mins and then finished. and it said all the other players quit. and i went back to the countdown lobby. and i left that lobby. then i was banned. D: its gotta stop doing that

It is a problem on your end, you lagged out.

This game shows us as the only person who quit (DNF) on the results

So will i stayed banned? or will it let me play again?

> So will i stayed banned? or will it let me play again?

Considering it is a quit ban, it will last 10 minutes then you will be able to resume playing in Matchmaking.

how would i get in contact with a 343 employee because i have been cr banned but i dont no why

check this topic out Here, btw I don’t think 343 employees would get in contact with u they’re a lot busy in these time, check the link that I give u to get some info of your condiction

> how would i get in contact with a 343 employee because i have been cr banned but i dont no why

You were AFK in this game

First time offences tend to last 24-48 hours.

it says two week but i didnt do inything i was play FF then was logged out off it then was banned

> it says two week but i didnt do inything i was play FF then was logged out off it then was banned

That game clearly shows you as AFKing.

My Internet connection went off today when I got back on some of my challenges reset. I tryed to not get them but they were easy matchmaking ones like 10 headshots will I be banned or my rank reset for getting the challenges agian

> My Internet connection went off today when I got back on some of my challenges reset. I tryed to not get them but they were easy matchmaking ones like 10 headshots will I be banned or my rank reset for getting the challenges agian

It is doubtful that you will be banned for that. Especially if it wasn’t you doing it on purpose. Just don’t try to re-create that happening. And if it resets them again by itself. I wouldn’t get them. One time would be overlooked, more than that will catch the hammer’s attention

> My Internet connection went off today when I got back on some of my challenges reset. I tryed to not get them but they were easy matchmaking ones like 10 headshots will I be banned or my rank reset for getting the challenges agian

As said above, don’t worry about it if it happened once and has never happened in the past or won’t happen again in the future.

First credit ban is usually how long? A day, a week, etc.?

How do I know when it will be lifted?

First time bans tends to last 24-48 hours.

You will know your unbanned when the banned notification no longer shows up upon launching Reach.

Hello, I am aware that I am responsible for who signs into my account. My roomate recently decided to go on my account and do the ethernet cord credit glitching method. He is an -Yoink- and he threatens to do that often since I pride myself on never have had quit a match, or cheated in any way or form to recieve credits. I have recieved a 2 week ban which is fair since I should not be as trusting in the people around me (I suppose). He did it in a firefight custom game, and I wish instead of a 2 week ban I could have the credits rolled back from that game, and possibly removing the ban as I will make my account sign in password protected. Even if not removing / reducing my ban I would really appreciate my credits from that game rolled back. I do not play Halo Reach as often as I would like to. I wish I could devote more time since I really enjoy the game; though as I stated earlier I do pride myself on having a glitch free account.

Nothing will be rolled back, I don’t even know if they can do that, but you learned your lesson, your account is your responsibility, you are suffering the, although harsh, consequences for not protecting your account fully from those you don’t trust.

Thankyou for responding MOA, I just don’t know how I feel about playing Reach, not that it anyone other than my own’s fault. I am dissapointed in myself I really liked having an honest account since I know multiple people who use this glitch repetitively and recieve no punishment. Why is this glitch in the game still ? I just don’t understand why they would keep something around that produces purely negative outcomes.
