> > this is a credit/console ban issue. i was playing reach with my friends, both xbl members and we had 4 guest all together but they were being played. we started playing some team objective and during the sixth game one of my friends and i received msgs saying we’ve been banned!! for what? there was no intention of credit harvesting, k-d fixing or any of the boosting bs that ppl do, but what was funny is that is what just two of us out of 4 xbl members that were banned and they also had friends playing as guest. so whats the deal? is the ban hammer a general thing? if so that means if someone wants to play a matchmaking game with just people they know as guest to on their accounts they can’t since it may be a bannable offence. so how does the ban hammer work in this case? and i got the ban on 01/01/2012 2pm MT, check my game history, ill send video of all the games too if that will help because this just unfair, heck i just need the credit to level i bought everything, i play for fun not show off. thank you for your time hope you guys can fix this problem with in the ban hammer program.

> Ok, seriously, you got banned for boosting Cr or medals or whatever. The one guy didn’t get banned because he got kills on his guest account on the 3rd game. You and the other guy didnt.
> This game here is how everyone would know it wasn’t an actual guest<mark>.This game</mark>
> All of the sudden your main account gets 0 kills and your one guest gets 10? After 5 consecutive games before getting 0 kills?
If you are having that many guests/buddys then why go in to matchmaking when there is customs, witch is way better when getting that many guest friends to play with. Or this is just me?
Anyway 0 kills will get a player banned even if it’s just guests getting 0 kills.
hello,
that´s my problem: my mate and me were playing swat and grifball and in swat sometimes he didn´t made any kill so i got banned.
but i didn´t boost at all.
sorry, if my engish is bad, but the support i phoned here said that posting here is the only way.

First time ban is 24h long, 2nd time is 2 weeks and 3rd time 1 month long. Good luck in the future when playing with that guest again.
OK seriously there was NO boosting going of any kind got it, ive been playing this game longer than most of you have been out of high school and quite frankly this is a load bull poop. i cant help if the ppl i play with are halo limited and i have to step in to show them how its done and to fool my friends we played against. you need to hand this game back to the original creators already, messing with armour lock and invis but not the others cause no one can use the those abilities the right way, your screwing the halo future with random “cant play with sucky guest that want to enjoy the game too bans” in that kiddy ban hammer program among other things, and yes i am b|tching here since there are so many ppl that are lying about what they were doing to get banned i think its bull that you guys generalize everyone, and yes you ive read the post. no reply it would be pointless of any of you 343 halo ruiners, thanks for nothing have a nice day. :^)
p.s. try playing the game through out the day and listen to your ppl not on this site more than 60% of the ppl that play this dont have computers or access to one.

Guy, nobody that responded to you works for 343, 99.8% of the time you will NOT get a response from any 343 employee. Just from the games that you played, There were 7 with AFK guests, thats why you got banned. And magically after the last game at 2:04pm, you played another game at 2:23pm, and not only were your guests gone, but the people that were in your party that also had AFK guest lost their guests as well? So it was just coincidence that everybody in your party had guests over and they all decided to leave at the exact same time? I don’t think so.
Also complaining about the games mechanics in a ban thread is going to go nowhere, nobody is in this thread to discuss armor lock, or any AAs. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what you were doing, otherwise you would have just done custom games with your guests and not got banned, but wait custom games don’t give any credits compared to online matchmaking.
I imagined the reason why alot of people dont do customes is from a couple reasons. 1) No creadits (well pennies for credits) and 2) lack of people. with only up to 4 people on a console, Its impossible to play BTB matches, and on some maps 4 still feels too little. So, 343 needs like a custom social matchmaking gametype that has 3 settings. 1) ffa 2) Team slayers and 3) BTB. Make it so it doesnt help the kills/death, commendations, or credits. and it would probably solve a some of these ban issues.
I NEED TO REMOVE A CREDDIT BAN BECAUSE I WAS PLAYING WITH MY COUSIN AND HE ISNT GOOD AND DIED ALOT AND ONLY GOT 2 KILLS THE WHOLE TIME WE PLAYED AND COMITTED SUICIDE ALOT. I AM ASKING FOR YOU TO REMOVE THE CREDIT BAN ON MY ACCOUNT.
So let me get this straight, if you play and are unable to make any kills because the people you are playing with are really good, you get banned. If this is so, I don’t think I will even try playing Bungie games anymore. I just started playing games since Christmas and am not very good. This is the second time I have had this happen in two weeks. Trying to talk to someone from Bungie is next to impossible on the phone. I like Halo Reach, but I’m not going to put up with this much longer. This haphazzard banning takes the enjoyment out of playing for sure. I guess if your stink at playing games, don’t attempt to play Halo. Too bad as well, I was enjoying it. If the ban isn’t lifted by tomorrow, I will discontinue play any more Bungie games.

It’s more because you have too many games in a row that have 0 kills and 0 assists. Bungie no longer runs the franchise so they won’t help you anyhow. But really until you get a better feel for the game try going into firefight or play customs with friends. Just keep in mind even though yours may not be totally legit, for every one person that gets banned unjustly there are 10 that get banned and deserve it. Eventually you’ll play in a game where your trying to win and you’ll see a guy on your team not moving or anything. Also remember to back out to the main menu if you go to eat or something, you were getting kills for most of your games then at the end for like 7 games there were no kills and no assists.
> My xbox was displaying a message about credits being temporarily banned, can you tell me why, please?
Is there someone else that has an account on your xbox? I looked through your games and there is no constant games with no kills. And I did not see any with an AFK guest logged in. If one GT on a consol gets banned then all GTs on that same consol arebanned as well.

It looks more like you got banned for 4 co-op campaign games that you got 0 kills in. Thats clearly an AFK ban. You can’t stay in a lobby and game and get 0 kills, that will get you banned. And nobody will lift it, if its the first one it’ll be over in 24hrs.
Thanks for previous reply Masaker13666, I appreciate you looking.
My Dad is also on this console, his GT is Hunterdeal, we were teamed together playing. Based on my reading of the posts in this thread (since I posted my original post) I’m guessing his bad play (multiple games with no kills, but he was trying not just standing there) is what caused the ban. How can I check?

You can go to Bungie.net and enter his gt in the search (top right ) if he has more than 3 or 4 games with 0 kills that’s why.
Thank you for your reply. My son is working on his multiplayer skills but was totally bummed that he might have gotten us credit-banned. His guest wasn’t very good it seems, but I think it’s unfortunate that they can’t have as much fun playing right now. It seems like the credit ban should apply per gamertag rather than per xbox. I know this is meant to stop cheaters, but maybe there could be a happy-medium. You have no idea how sad we all are.
Can you please tell me why my son was banned from earning credits? His gamer name is Mattx90. He said the only thing he could think of was his sister had called him cause she needed help with something and he thought he logged out, but it hadn’t. But it would have only left him idle for one game.
I have been banned for three days now. We did nothing wrong. My son turned off the tv after playing and not the Xbox. We do not have a history of this. Please review my account and gamer history and fix this please.
