If you do not own it and have not played it with a friend on another Xbox, this would explain your ban, as you played in a modded lobby, allowing you to access DLC maps without owning the DLC on your Xbox (In this case, Battle Canyon), which would clearly violate LIVE Code of Conduct.

Good morning.

I was asking about the map pack as it seems very odd that you only played one matckmaking game on it. Had it been any other DLC, it would not have been questionable, but the Anniversary map pack is the most common of the Reach DLC and played more in matchmaking.

So if you didn’t mod or use network manipulation, does anybody else have access to your account or do you have your Xbox Profile on more than one Xbox?

Hello I would like to know why I was excluded from earning credits in halo reach, and I would also like to know what I did and that I should not do again, but I want to be allowed to continue winning earning credits as soon as possible, I would appreciate them a lot . Please help me ;(

Twice today I have been removed or lagged out of a game then banned for quitting. How can I fix that? I’m not quitting or leaving by choice but I still get banned

most likely it was because of your grifball games. you can get banned apparently for “boosting” usually if the game sees you earning loads of credits with out kills or anyone scoring.

So I have received a credit Ban on Halo Reach, it does say temporary so does anyone know how long they last for?

About 24 to 48 hours. It depends.

I am just wondering if the stacking offences ever reset or is it going to stack Idefinaty?

Ok. So I was playing elite slayer and my friend got off this ghost, and I took it. Then he started shooting at me and I decided to splatter him. Then, our team started to turn on each other, and my friend, (not saying names) banned me. Is this okay?

sounds like your team has a case of “butthurts and misunderstandings”

So you were essentially banned for being booted from matchmaking via betrayal from your friend choosing the boot option or your friend modded to give you a ban? If your friend modded the banhammer to ban you, or modded to give you a manual ban, that is wrong, and we need to have a further discussion via PM. If you were banned as a result of being booted, then likely you did previous things that the banhammer kept track of and being booted was probably the trigger for the banhammer to issue a ban.

Stacking ban offenses do not reset. The more you recieve bans, the longer the ban duration and in extreme cases, a permaban can be issued.

Will I get credit banned if I hit the credit cap too much because I’ve been playing a lot recently and I enjoy the game?

This thread is for discussing in-game bans, not for asking to have stuff unlocked. At that, no, nobody is going to unlock something just because you asked for it

okay so i was banned about 3 days ago for the first time i know what i did it was griffball that playlist is almost useless you cant play without boosters and if you try to actually play you get betrayed or spawn killed over and over yet these people dont get in trouble the problem i have with this is there’s no time frame given to me directly and its my first offense and it wasn’t a 24hr ban like its supposed to be ive been told the time is random and can be up to 3 months i would just like to know cuz if its gonna be that long ill just stop paying for xbl in the meantime

also can someone tell me why it decides to tell me i have a temp ban every game in the middle of a fight so i die it happens every game without fail i get it i did something wrong but this is bs

Could anyone tell me why my accout is permanently banned from halo reach online multiplayer. I would really love to play again and i dont know why i was banned. Also is there any way to get the bungie blue flames again?

Good evening.
I looked around your Halo: Reach game History and stats, and I may have found the reason why. When I go to look at your game stats in detail here (Click meh!), despite all the games you played, you have no Halo: Reach Achievements unlocked. So either you tried to mod them, in which the banhammer caught this, struck and relocked your achievements, or you played in a modded lobby back in 2011 (Which is the last time you played matchmaking according to your stats), in which the banhammer caught this, struck and relocked your achievements.

So in your case, signs seem to be pointing toward modded achievements. You didn’t have a partial or complete Gamerscore reset previously occur, did you?

Edit: Also, the Eternal Armor effect is no longer obtainable.
