Can you please improve the banhammer for firefight? I’m sick of playing with people who get only a little amount of kills and go afk the rest of the game. I believe that should greatly be improved.

I think that it counts as AFK when you don’t move so he will probably get banned later

This and aside from killhogs, I stick to Score Attack. All the kills you want and no other hassle. Sadly, enemies max out around 120 and there’s only 5 waves and 10 lives and limited ammo…but it’s better than AFK’ers.
Double FF is decent too since it cuts the goober factor in half and is great for credits on any ArcadeFight - Unlimited Ammo/Lives, 15 Minutes and an entire Set with bonus round (if you make it).

Though, in Score Attack you don’t have the 5.000 game complete cR…

I just added a benefit that the MM Firefight has…
Ah much clearer. Wasn’t sure if I was just missing out on some sort of Completion thing.
Well…I’m not the best at FF. For some reason, I’m a sticky grenade magnet. The bane of my existence.
Doubles Firefight pays of lovely for credits though. I average about 6k per game as well as build the hell out of commendations.

Yeah indeed. I prefer Arcade, i don’t bump into AFKers so often. 8-10k per game! commendations too!! But now the only thing i think about is CEA Co-Op Campaign!!!
i just wanna know why i get banned from geting cp .my gt is sparten nynja .can i do something to get out of this?
> i just wanna know why i get banned from geting cp .my gt is sparten nynja .can i do something to get out of this?
The same reason you were banned before, Ranked Idle Boosting.

Excited as I am, I’m still deep into Reach. I’d like to kill off the one commendation I’ve been truly grinding to Onyx (Rear Admiral) but I also promised myself I’d only do Gears3 campaign above anything else. I lied to myself horribly hahaha.
OT - From speculation, there seems to be WAY too many people who are “unaware” of things they have done. This puzzles me.

I am really frustrated in the whole Commendation thing because it’s really hard to do some of them…for example 10.000 automatic weapon kills or something…this is too hard…and i haven’t heard 343 saying that the Campaign commendations will be the same for CEA…i mean come on!! I can’t complete Reach’s Campaign maps 540 times!

I just can’t do it without dying XXX amount of times. However, I’ve done well over 100 missions already. I enjoy a few of 'em to that much degree.
I’m totally with you on the automatic weapons one. It’s definitely my weakest. I enjoyed the way they did commendations though except that Maxing one out isn’t worth credits. That’s kind of lame but even so, if you line a few up say in the Silver to Gold or Gold to Onyx ranks, you get a sweet payoff.
But then again, I like 'em so much b/c they correspond with challenges to. It’s like one hand washing the other.

In fact, when you have it onyx, the game counts it as maxed. I figured it out because i saw a guy with 100% Commendation Progress and it had all the Commendations onyxed but not maxed! So when it’s onyx it counts as finished and that’s why you are not given cR when you max it. Though please 343 let the commendations be tha same for CEA!!!

Hmm. Seems like a waste of a gauge bar then. Doesn’t bother me much though. As said, there’s only ONE commendation I’m truly gunning for and once I get it, I’ll probably not grind as hard for any more but let them come naturally. I don’t plan on putting Reach away for a L-O-N-G time. Gears has surprisingly robbed me of too much time off this glorious gem.
> > > > My gamertag is SoldierDruid, My wifes is Precious418, my son’s is AvatarNut. We only have one XBOX in the house so we are always on the same console. I’m a noob. I didn’t know you could get banned for afking or anything for that matter. I didn’t sign him out due to the fact that we were on the same team also I didn’t know that you could leave a match when playing on the same console.
> > >
> > > Well i didn’t say to sign him out immediately, but in the next game. You won’t get banned for AFKing 1 time. Anyways, the Gamertag Precious418 has done a lot of AFKing and he is banned. Also the other Gamertags you mentioned are banned, because if one is banned, the rest of the Gamertags playing in the same console are also banned in order to discourage people from swapping gamertags and “overtake” the ban.

I don’t agree. I have played some rounds where I get some kills and then I have had some rounds where I don’t get any especially doing Sniper matches. She’s running around and shooting just not always getting kills, depending on the match type she gets kills or she doesn’t.

If you don’t agree and you believe that you don’t deserve the ban then pm Total Sellout, or wait for him to answer here. But he won’t surely answer.
To whom it may concern:
Recently, I was temporarily banned from Halo Reach matchmaking for supposedly quitting too many times. The ban was dissolved moments later, but I am extremely frustrated as to how this happened. Just a few days ago, I experienced consecutive load failures which I associated with either my internet or the disc itself. I reset my internet connection and things seemed to improve. Since then, I have been able to play just fine. A couple days later, I came across a few matches in which they loaded very slowly, which is not unfamiliar to Halo Reach. Knowing I could not quit, I waited each and every one out. My fellow players, however, did not always do the same. The last match, which got me banned, was the result of a slow load. All of my fellow players abandoned me. I still did not quit. The game loaded and just said “game over” since there was no match to be played. Seconds later, I notice I am banned.
According to Bungie’s terms of use/code of conduct…
“The following things will not result in a visit from the Banhammer:Lag (poor or intermittent network performance).Occasional disconnects due to inconsistent network conditions.”
I, therefore, should not have been penalized. Also, excluded from that list are disc errors. They are no fault of my own nor do they suggest I intentionally quit a game. My fellow players quitting should also not decide my fate.
With that said, I ask that this ban be erased from my record. I do not wish to see this associated with my gamertag nor do I ever want to encounter this problem again.
Sincerely,
karebear109
As a bit of a disclaimer, I contacted Microsoft about this first. I was informed to contact Bungie, but Bungie requests I contact Microsoft. Finally, I was told to post here. Don’t we all love the ol’ round about? I don’t know what good it will do, but any help would be appreciated. I don’t want to hear “you should have stopped trying to play if you kept getting load failures.” I was playing with friends at the time. I didn’t want to let them down. Any one of you would have done the same. I also think I solved the problem. I recently installed the game to my HD and haven’t had any problems since for those of you searching for a solution. Look, I just know I didn’t do anything “naughty” and if I did, I would accept the consequences. I know I’m not alone here and you may or may not agree with me, but this ban was absolutely unjust even for as short-lived as it was. Halo Reach and I have a love/hate relationship. I just don’t want to see it end.

Unfortunately i can’t help you with this, i will only mention that :
- The fellow players didn’t abandon you. After 3 load failures, it throws you out from the game and in your screen looks that everyone else left the game while you are the one who left. That counts as a quit.
- I think that load failure hasn’t to do with your disc. You can realize that if you have a custom game loaded. Does it load fine or is it stuck at one point? It’s probably your connection but i am definitely not true. You could also try pm Total Sellout if Microsoft told you to refer here.
