Make sure your child stays on one account she doesn’t share it with others. What to expect…
she will lose until she finds opponents of similar skill level
she will be credit banned often, wich she will hardly notice at age six
Credit ban is not a punishment rather the withholding of reward. No work/kills then no reward/credits. It does not mean she should stop playing.
To make sure your child finds her skill group I’m going to suggest something that makes some parents cringe… Don’t help your child. Think of halo in terms of school. Multiplayer matchmaking is a test, whereas campaign/firefight/custom games are homework. If you want to play with your child, help with their homework. Because if you muddle their test results the teacher/matchmaking program will put you child in a classroom filled with students she just won’t enjoy plaing against. And when she scores 0… She will be repeatedly banned. Let your child play on her own till the program figures out she needs less skilled opponents, she will be matched eventually with kids she can kill and will thusly stop being banned from earning credits.
However, she is six years old… It may take very long to hit rock bottom of the skills meter. A rated M for mature +17 years of age game might not be the wisest parenting move. My parents atleast waited till I was 11 to allow me to buy MGS… Even that was questionable.
thanks for the reply, sound advice for sure. She only goes on it once in a while so hopefully the credit ban happening frequently and barring the whole console shouldn’t be too much of an issue.But as you say it may be best to let her play on firefight against the AI instead of multiplayer though.
The only thing that confuses me is that i only let her use my wifes account and not mine, so i’m still not too sure as to why the whole console has been banned.
I do find it frustrating though as i am quite a “serious” gamer and it’s more an inconvenience than anything. I’m more worried how long the ban will last as no time limit has been given.
Anyways, thanks again for the good advice and it’s great to have help at hand, nice one!
There are dozens upon dozens of people sabotaging BTB, specifically tanks, which are the most important part of the battles. KILLING people who are trying to hinder your entire TEAM from losing due to having no heavy weaponry, is JUSTIFIED…
I should have a ban lifted, and anyone shot by a tank within a few feet of it should be pardoned unless the tank fires upon more than one or two people, but at least one person.
BTB is where all the -Yoinks!- are, and being a TEAM PLAYER is illegal! WHAT!? If someone is blocking your movement, you blast them after you can’t turn and go around them!

Umm no. All around no. Your ban is called a quit ban. You disconected/quit/lagged out/ gotBetrayalBooted way to many times. Don’t really care if you think a betrayal is justified. Play on a team with teammates you trust. If you go in a game searching for random teammates then you should expect…
being placed in a more social/ yoinkaround type match
all sorts of frustrating teammates
expect to be crushed by a full team of opponents while your team of Randoms quit leaving you and the rest of your team to fight while outnumbered.
Advice?
play only with teammates you do we’ll with or atleast get along with
stop leaving games before its over
And your ban only lasted 15 min… Not woth bringing it up when by the time anyone responds, your ban already ran its course.
No. Your a self righteous -Yoink-, an imbecile, or both.
Not everyone goes around with 20 million friends, and you can’t fill up all slots in BTB. What is your IQ, room temperature Celsius!?
You have to help your team, you clearly are a “useless non-team player!” That, or you haven’t ever played enough BTB and been forced to kill noob -Yoink- to know what I am talking about. You don’t know…

Not saying you have to, simply stating that if you don’t go in with friends you trust, expect shenanigans. I go in alone all the time. Hell, I even have video of me going into BTB alone and almost betraying a teammat because I am bad with laser. Click Herewhen I search alone, because as you say… Can’t always find 7 teammates I trust… I never trust my random teammates to have my back. So when I search alone, I make it my goal to let my teammates take vehicles and I neutralize many power weapons that put my teammate’s vehicles in danger. If I protect my teammates well enough, they normally stop messing around, follow my callouts and we destroy the other team.
And my IQ is 124, please excuse me if I come off as a -Yoink-. Anyway, I understand the urge to shoot FailMates. I shoot them too. I shoot them to the point it seems they will die then I continue to shoot NEAR them, melee the air NEAR them. Scare them to the point they betray me… Repeat and boot them. I didn’t betray, I didn’t get booted, and I didn’t get banned. This my friend is a more intelligent and elegant way of dealing with FailMates.Also if you do a quick comparison of our service record you will see I played about twice as many BTB matches than you. So yes, I played enough. I commend you on having a higher k/d than I do in BTB… But again if you look carefully enough it seems I am more a “team player” than you. Although you go out and get more kills than I do… I make certain my team wins
Your BTB stats: 1.33 k/d and win 49%
My BTB stats : 1.32 k/d and win 73%
I’m not flaming your stats bro, but seriously you have little room to say I don’t know what BTB is like.
I think that this system is not working well. Why is that? Because I always play with my boys to Halo CE on matchmarking. Today I was banned for second time, the first time was right we was learning to play and got 0 kills many times no complains about that ban.
But now I was banned the last friday. I was playing on tuesday with my son and a friend we got over 2 kills each one on every game we don’t do afk or anything like that onlye have lagg problem on connection. But the friday we got banned on the worst of that is “this xbox 360 console has been temporarily banned from earning credits” we are 4 people on my family account: Me, my two son and one account for friends. But the four of us are banned and can’t earn credits. Why? We don’t know that. My other son don’t play or connect his account but he can’t earn CR too. I’m pissed off because it I didn’t do anything wrong why where are banned?
I watched many bad things on game like players quit and let you alone agains four people, other do AFK for about 5 or more minute and another staff that is ver strange like hit directly to one players about 8 or more times and don’t get a kill but he fire one time and bang a dead to any player…some strange but this system doesn’t get a clue about it the same players are connected to the next day and the next I don’t see a ban for them.
I don’t have the option to ask for a review this ban or for complains. Is unfair that I pay for XLive connection only to play Halo series and then we can’t earn CR or anything because the banner system doesn’t does his job right…
Who answer now? Why we are banned? Why my son that DON’T play was banned to? The ban system must be corrected so can detect and ban only the accounts involved and not only for AFK maybe for the time on game with no move the position or anything like that…only that solution requires more work for programming is more easy ban anyone without the proper filter…
PD: There is plenty of tricks on youtube or anothers websites that many children use on his games so if I didn’t use tricks, don’t afk, don’t zero kills and did it right is very annoying get banned for nothing and nobody has responsability…

I’m sorry… But if your not earning kills then you are not earning cr. your console was banned because users on this console earn cr bans habitually. This ban is to prevent you from creating other accounts and using them. This is a important part of the system because it makes it more difficult to boost. Also, if your sons don’t play, why do you care if they temporarily can’t earn cr?

Dear friend did yo read the message? I tell that we all was killing and earning CR and I tell that this is my second ban NOT habitually. I explain that my first ban was right I didn’t now so much about bans but now I don’t understand this ban. And I explain that one son of mine didn’t play THAT day so why he is banned to? And I explain that if anyone with one account commit anything to deserve ban is right but is unfair ban all the accounts on the console because they are different accounts and if you don’t know ANY account has different stats and more important has a separate payment…so I pay 4 accounts on xlive to play Halo and in one strange and unexplained ban all our accounts are banned? Is not right…

I think you misunderstand.
not saying you deserve to be banned because of cheating
telling you only why the ban was triggered
You have been habitually scoring very very low. Please practice in custom before entering matchmaking. Or expect to be repeatedly credit banned, after the first ban repeat offenses can result in the ban being expanded to entire console. Credits are rewards. By habitually scoring so low (check your service record and click on game history) you are causing your teammates to suffer. You can still play matchmaking, but don’t expect rewards like cr/armor/rank.
Dear TeamZaRob,
Firsst thank for your help and I understand your point view but maybe I had times with scoring very very low but many times I play with another gamers with very bad scoring and well is not so bad sometimes you teach somethings and all was fine.
Maybe is right not combine expert players with newbies or bad players but that must be a filter on Halo or exist a dedicated server for that. In non place tell about matchmarking is a competitive server only for experts so anyone could enter. I knowed many people who start to play and play matchmarking too because is funny not because wants to go to championship or anything like that. I’m a father and I play for fun. I understand that many are competitive and want play to earn more and more points maybe the solution is separate servers but meanwhile CR is a request for any player that want an special armor and matchmarking is the way to get it BOTH expert and newbies had right to play together.
But AFK, cheats or another staff must be punished on any server but I don’t see that happens I played many months and saw many things and I can asevere that. Another thing, one system is working bad if couldn’t discriminate between accounts. If one account deserve ban the ban must be apply only that account now the ban is for any account on one console and this is a bad policy because now I had one son that is punished when he wasn’t playing and he cant earn CR neither so why is that only bad policy and not refining on programming…
Maybe we got ban because scoring very low but another people do AFK and another staff and don’t get punish that sucks every player must consider that we pay for xlive accounts and we must pay for the game and the online services is not free so this policies are bad for us
put the time duration for a ban into the pop up msg or send a email with the reason and duration, for what im paying each month for xbox live if i didnt get something like costumer support or service?
question: how long will i got the temporary ban for xp?
Just come out of a credit ban on the whole console, which i can probably put down to zero scoring from my 6 year old daughter with no experience in these kind of games. But just to let you know, those of you who have had, or are currently serving a similar ban, it only lasted a week and now it’s business as usual.
I too have several accounts on my xbox for the kids, so i’m still not totally in agreement with the whole console ban thing when something triggers a ban on only one of the accounts. But, it is what it is and there’s obviously good reasons for it to be this way. So i would say that the only way to “keep clean” is to not put yourself in a situation where you know you could possibly earn yourself a ban of some sort.
Anyway, in the immortal words of Bricktop, " put the kettle on Errol!"
About 7 days ago i was temporarily banned from earning credits. So then i was confused because I know i did nothing. So I did some research and i was playing with two friends as a guest so maybe they thought i was boosting? but really there was no reason for me to boost and they aren’t that good so i could screen peek and kill them a lot obviously but they did no worse than anyone else. so i want to know how they made that mistake and when that ban can be lifted, i don’t have halo yet so this is my game to play and there is no point if i can’t level up… Help me please!
Pitiful no support no answer from 343 nothing if you are banned you must accept is right or not you must accept. With this terms the game experience and the company reputation are affected but for halo developers maybe this is not important…
I’m thinking and thinking about people that deserve ban but don’t receive it and people that play honestly and had fun with it receiving fun and we cannot complain about it…bad service and only improve us to search another game with more respect to our user.
I had 35 years old, I BUY Xlive accounts only for me and my family to play halo (Not only one. I buy 4 accounts) if I received this second ban and continue being banned like this I will close Xlive and they will lose four customers or I will search another game that respect me like gamer. Both options are bad for them like sellers…

It’s not right to match skilled players with newbies? Yes… But please understand by sharing accounts, you confuse the system. You play as an adult, then when you give your account to a child, did you expect the system to tell the difference? Matches are already bad, but you make it worse by sharing accounts
A father that plays for fun? Then stop worrying about credits, credits indicate timeXwork… A temporary ban for your multiple offenses is not unreasonable nor is it a severe punishment. Also it banned your whole console because when it banned just your account behavior from accounts on your Xbox didn’t change.
You don’t see cheaters and AFK people being punished? How could you? It’s a credit ban, you would never “see” their punishment. It’s also a very hard ban to earn. I made two videos where I tried my hardest to get 0 kills… But if your shooting, the enemy always seems to find a way of dying. If any1 ever earns 0 kills, then they are not earning credits. Simple as that. You seem to focus only on the negative you are receiving from your ban but try considering how much of a negative experience you given your teammates that had to bear with your poor performance. You might be playing for fun but if they are playing to win… Imagine how they feel being stuck with a teammate who died 5 or more times and earned 0 kills. I’ve tried to intentionally earn this ban, and I can’t.
This ban doesn’t stop you from playing, this ban just telling you “you will not be rewarded with rank promotions are new armor for being a bad teammate”

343 has nothing to do with you ban my good sir. Please keep in mind these bans are designed with adults and teenagers in mind. This game is rated M for mature. That’s 17+ in US and 16+ in UK. I am really sorry that these policies seem unfair to parents but their children are playing a game that is simply not designed for them.
