Did you know you can be banned from voice chat for 1 week.


"You have been banned from voice chat for 1 week."
Really, 343i? I don't even HAVE a headset to talk into, c'mon now. I have Kinect but have it always set on "MUTE". Epic fail, way to ruin this game. Banning like this after launch isn't a great way to 'promote' your game. So yes, I'm a perfect example of the voice ban system being faux. I have played other games with kids, who yell into their mics, and I beat them, and they tea bag me constantly. Then a few games later I get: "Banned from voice chat". LOL... they probably all just filed complaints on me because I beat them, and I don't even have a headset to talk smack, on top of that I'm 28 years old and don't feel the need to talk trash.

I do have a mic but never use it tho yet i got banned from voice chat for 1 week. :054:... Meh, whatever.

Did you know you can be XP banned



Wondering why I received an XP ban? I was not receiving any XP on the morning of 11/09/12, however later on in the day I was able to gain it again. However, tonight, I received an XP ban notification and have no idea where this came from? I had purchased plenty of cases of mountain dew to use the double XP codes. Is this why? If so, why would a company ban someone from obtaining a gift they are marketing?

Glad i don't care much about XP tho.

It seems if you quit too much you get banned,


You can get banned for quitting? You guys implement the disgusting join in progress feature and now expect us to stay in matches we joined mid game when the team is horrible? Well aren't you guys just the smartest people ever.

I was playing halo 4 today and experienced a lot lag in most mid games. I switched to Grifball after quiting 2 or 3 laggy mid games.
I lagged out several times when playing Grifball, then got this sweet message "This player is 1 hour banned and cannot play matchmaking on Xbox LIVE" :031: ... <_< dafuq? lol

The automated system


our automated system builds up a digital case of wrongdoing before any ban is enacted. If you accidentally disconnect a time or two, you won't get banned. Instead the system looks for patterns that can't happen accidentally. If the banhammer detects enough wrongdoing, you were doing wrong. Case closed

It's been this way since Reach...it's not 343's fault. It's Bungie that done that. Halo 4 is just Reach with some re-skinned shit. Same engine. Same crap. Nothing has changed. I'm a liar you say? Why don't you look at the Blam engine (Halo's engine) and the encryption.

Yeah. Automated bans tend to have errors no matter which game you play. This isn't 343's fault per se, but there's nothing stopping them from relaxing the methods the auto hammer uses to find its victims. I'd say 343 is half to blame, but still definitely a solid half. Laziness on their part (not fixing a broken second hand system).

So is it the general consensus that 343 screwed up Halo? I see hate in a lot of places for Halo 4. I can't really say much because I was already disappointed with Reach.

Halo took a nose dive after the first. When you can get a game online it's like a bloody flea circus

Halo 3 was the last good one in my opinion, though I do love Reach's firefight. That said, Halo 4 just feels like Reach's multiplayer (which I didn't like compared to Halo 3) without the firefight (which was the only thing I liked about Reach). It's definitely worth a few plays if you're already a fan of Halo. Otherwise, your best bet would be to find a nice single-player game and enjoy a the experience of a nice and thick plot (Halo 4's plot is ridiculous). I'd say Halo 4 is probably still the best current FPS for the multiplayer, but it isn't the best Halo game.

I don't think 343i screwed up Halo really. To say that they "screwed it up" would imply that it's drastically worse than when Bungie had it. In their defense, 343i has gotten a bit better at level design since Reach's DLC maps, and all the new content (to say nothing of the HUGE forge map that you can download for free) is really nice. In some respects, I think 343i is actually doing better with the franchise than Bungie did, though there are a lot of areas they could improve on (their auto-bans for starters).

So is Halo 4 "screwed up"? I wouldn't go that far, but I'd be hard-pressed to hear anybody say that it's their favorite. Personally, I've kinda been getting tired of the same essential Halo experience, sort of like how I feel about CoD. Playing Halo 4, I feel like I'm getting to that point.

The real fail here is that you're still playing Halo 4.

Well, despite the disappointment I still play it with my friends. I'm not sure I can blame total failure on 343 because it feels like it's just continuing on the path Reach started.

Halo 4 can still be fun with friends. I think many of us who started with the first have felt for a while the series just wasn't staying as strong as it was.
