There should be an automatic ban on a player that CONSTANTLY tk's players.Happens all the time in Customer Games with no option to boot...so annoying....

When I accidently betray, I always try to say sorry in chat... but I'll get banned for 15-30 minutes whenever it happens. This is in social playlists, not ranked. And while I'm banned I can't join any custom games either.

I feel the only workaround to this is to apologize at the start of the match, saying something like "I'm sorry in advance if I accidentally betray you" in team chat or something.

Another 15 minute ban, in social playlist. What a joke. 343 has zero support now, waypoint forum is gone....

The betrayal system works off of damage dealt to your teammates. The more you hit them, the more likely a betrayal will give the prompt to kick. Might be time to lay off the nades around your teammates if it's happening enough where you're getting booted this often.

343 is to busy making rainbow nameplates and banning "transphobes" from their game because they didn't use their pronouns, rather than actually doing their job and making their game better.

Yeah I have like almost 2000 hours now and barely any betrayals. I play everything from socials to comp mainly, only Halo 2 or 3.. I just dont kill my teammates.

What I have noticed lately though is a lot of purposeful team killers. Bunch of very depressed and angry teens/adults doing it on purpose.

For the record, there's a hidden counter that keeps track of how much damage you do to other players, including non-lethal damage. If you betray someone (accidentally or not) the game checks your damage-to-allies counter, and if it's above a certain amount the game goes "oh, this person regularly harms their teammates, so this betrayal was probably deliberate" and boots you. I don't recall if the hidden counter resets itself completely after a certain amount of time or if it constantly decreases towards zero over time.

I do recall that the sequential ban timer reset after 16 hours, although that might have changed. As in, you could quit 1 match and have the minimum penalty, and then 16 hours later you can do quit again and only face the minimum penalty. Any quitting within a 16 hour period would restart the 16 hour timer and increase the sequential ban by 1 stage.

I feel like banning people from Social period; is the biggest reason that most of the player-base left Halo. It's social, who gives a crap if 1 out of 100 games somebody is betraying or just quit(the latter still happens ALL the time). Banning did NOTHING to stop these problems. We used to have millions, or at-least 100's of 1,000's. Now we struggle to hit 10,000. It's like the text book definition of "The mighty have fallen".

And before anybody brings up "over time", CoD still brings in those numbers year after year; or at-least 10's of 1,000's in some of the older games, despite zero server maintenance and Activision trying to kill some of them off.

What you dont like being banned for just PLAYING the game that you PAID for? Well thats why halo MCC is dead in the water.

INB4 sweaty ban simps who never go outside or spend any time in the real world come in and defend bans cause their experience is being "ruined"

Automatic moderation is a pipedream, lines of code cannot tell right from wrong.

Uhhh, my guy, Bungie started banning people back in the days of H2, and some of those bans were permanent. A short timed ban is nothing compared to that.

From a legal perspective, we paid for the Campaigns, and the Multiplayer is a courtesy offered by Microsoft. They could shut down the servers tomorrow and we'd have no legal recourse, because there's nothing in the purchase/use agreement that obligates Microsoft to freely host servers. On top of that, part of the use agreement is that we users promised to play nice and follow the rules, so it's kind of ironic that you're complaining about being temporarily denied a service for not following rules you agreed to follow.

Also, it's highly ironic that you complain that your experience is being ruined by people who claim their experience is being ruined. Who are we supposed to believe, the guy named "wipe my ass simulator" or the company that has clearly defined and generally accepted rules about what is and isn't allowed? Might as well complain about speed limits being enforced because you feel like you should be able to drive as fast as you want. Like, I speed, especially when crossing the country, but if I get caught then that's on me. I'm not going to get mad at the State Trooper just for doing his job.

Telling a Halo player not to spam grenades is like telling a person not to breathe

Way to blame gay people for the dev team being lazy. What kinda argument is this? Do you have any idea how silly you sound?

This thread was quite old before the recent posts, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
