Good afternoon,
We have executed a round of Credit Resets with a temporary Credit Ban for accounts which have habitually exhibited idling or "AFK" behavior while playing in Firefight Matchmaking. We'll be keeping a close eye on all of the accounts which we have taken action against. Further action will be taken if necessary, up to or including a temporary or permanent Matchmaking Ban.
When you idle or "AFK" frequently you're causing a negative impact on the enjoyment and integrity of the game for other players. Anytime you are in a Matchmaking session of Halo: Reach you are expected to be actively playing the game, we award you Credits in good faith and trust that you are earning them. Violating that trust by earning Credits that you don't deserve and negatively impacting the experience of other players will result in the removal of Credits.
Furthermore, using network manipulation to splinter a matchmaking session so you can benefit from games intended for groups of players is not acceptable. When you do this you deprive the other players in your session of a teammate and you degrade their online experience. We have provided a single player Firefight playlist called Score Attack which you can use if you wish to play alone.
[b]Regarding Disputes[/b]
A separate thread will be created and monitored for as long as we believe necessary. If you believe your ban was a false positive, you can post a request for investigation. Only use this thread and request an investigation if you are absolutely sure that your ban was a false positive, if we take the time to investigate your account and find that you do have idling or "AFK" behavior, we will place an extended Credit Ban on your account.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Well, now I know why there are so many people wondering why they have been reset. P.S. Could you tell us how many secrets have yet to be discovered? All I ask for is a number. I don't need hints or locations, just incentive. Thanks and I believe many people feel the same XD [Edited on 05.24.2011 3:07 PM PDT]

Thank you.
-
Good...

Interesting o-o Also thank you for looking into this issue Jeremiah, but not some may have issues if certain people weren't/won't be banned despite evidence. Edit: Nevermind XD Everything seems to be in accordance to despute what I thought may have been wrong [Edited on 05.24.2011 3:09 PM PDT]

Yay! Something done at long last!

Thank you.

Bungie powers Activate, form of a banhammer! [Edited on 05.24.2011 3:07 PM PDT]

Jeremiah, do these resets include people who get only like 5 kills, and don't play the rest of the game? I see that more often than people not playing at all. I always see people play for like one minute, get a few kills, and then AFK the rest of the game to avoid looking like they are AFK.
-
well done... now import the Halo reach demo to mexican users please (I want to see how different it is)
-
I think larger action should be undertaken, as something like not being able to play firefight for 30 days. [Edited on 05.24.2011 3:08 PM PDT]

Aww, My AFKig friend didn't get reset? Can you guys not catch players who AFK after they play for 1 minutes, Jerimah?
-
Glad to see that some people's faith that you're still around and actively supporting this game until your last moments has been well worth it.
