Ever been banned for kicking too much ass?

[RuralGamer]

Rainbow Six Vegas 2: I've been banned simply for going into people's games (I'm a level 17ish Elite; there are a lot of players who hate Elites) and I've been banned plenty of times for "not dying" in Terrorist Hunt; I take it slow and methodical and when the host gets himself killed in the first minute, its apparently unbearable, even though he's still getting points and I can win the round (got kicked on Villa with only one terrorist left and I was going to get him). I once got kicked for teamkilling the host right after he teamkilled me and laughed about it with his friends.

Other than that, I've only been banned from BF2 servers by punkbuster for... no idea. Often it was ping-related, but sometimes it wouldn't give me a reason.

My friend on the otherhand gets banned or accused of hacking practically every time he picks up a Battlefield or Call of Duty game and plays them online; he has very good eyesight, a very large screen and a powerful graphics card; all of this is coupled with an excellent internet connection, allowing him to snipe people at ridiculous distances (did I mention he is also a very good judge of distance making bullet drop a moot point). Watching him slaughter a team with an SVD on Battelfield 3's Metro is hilarious, especially when he's using a red-dot sight at the ranges other people are using the x7 scope.

Back when Heroes of Newerth was still in early Beta, I got banned from several hosts for 'denying' and 'playing too well as a beginner'. There wasn't a matchmaking system back then so games were largely imbalanced in terms of skill. And since HoN was pretty much an exact clone of DotA, a game I'd played for approximately 5 years, I was pretty much dominating every game I played. Needless to say, people weren't very happy to have me in their games, and I moved on to a different game.

Edit: I should probably mention that these servers were custom games and labelled as 'PROS ONLY'. I deliberately avoided the other servers for a challenge.

A few years back, a couple of Skulltag servers kicked/banned me for winning. They accused me of using wallhacks and aimbots, when I was only really using... a rocket launcher.

This wouldn't have bothered me so much if there were other PvP servers that weren't all Capture The fucking Flag or some shitty mod with all the balance of a one-legged donkey, but as usual nobody wanted to play a vanilla-style Deathmatch. Or even co-op. They were too wrapped up in playing the latest shitty edition of whatever gimmick was 'flavour of the month'.

RAGE OCCURRED.

Snip

I know how you feel brother! *Man hugs.

In Half Life Deathmatch, I topped the scoreboard, ahead of the 2nd place player by about 15 kills. I was kicked and then banned with this notice:

Spoiler

oh my god that is the only awesome you have been kicked message ever

more to the point once when i was playing age of empires 3 right after i got obsessed with it (only for about 2 months) i started to figure out tactics that i was better at using and i was playing against someguys with no idea what they were doing (2 V. 2) and even my teamate thought i was cheating so they kicked me

Last night I forced 5 rage quits and topped the leader board on TF2. With Vanilla equipment.

 

[Borntolose]

Well, in a way. I once went with my friend to some Fighting Game tournament. I myself didn't participate, because I haven't a clue how to play Dragon Ball Z well, but there was another PS2 off to the side running another version of the game for non-participants. I got in line and when my turn to play came, I beat everyone who came against me. Finally, someone who actually knew how to play arrived to try and put me in my place. I beat him as well. Then everyone else in line agreed that it wasn't fair that I was always winning and decided to give this guy another chance against me. The second time I lost...

When you said "Stuck in their spawn", I lost all sympathy. It's unwritten rule numero uno on the servers I used to frequent that if the opposing team can't even get to the battle field, the teamstack is too high, and the Admin will start throwing punishments.

 

[JochemDude]

Yep, whiny admins approach is if you don't suck you must be hacking.
I love our clan server, whine=kick, spam=ban, being a dick=ban.

 

[SuperSamio64]

Got kicked for shooting through walls in Resistance: Retribution. Except I had the Auger. Shooting through walls is what it does. ¬¬

 

[pegi989]

yes that did happen i was kicking ass with tf2 and i got kicked and i cannot get back in to that server even to this day

 

[coldfrog]

Amazingly, yes. Way back in the days of good ole Counter-strike, I was on a server playing cs_italy. I was a counter-terrorist and I was having a great game. I think they were already annoyed at me for kicking their asses, but in any case, I got down to a 1 on 1. The enemy was nowhere to be seen, and I had all the hostages. I'm walking back from the main courtyard and I still have my regular grenade. A popular hiding place was of course, behind the boxes, so I threw the grenade back there. Well, it blew him up, and he decided I was wall-hacking and I got booted. I was amused, though I never went back to that server.

 

[Pearwood]

Best one I've received that I can remember: "You were spamming combos".

That's a good one, not heard that before. What exactly did they expect you to do, spam normal attacks? Give them a tea break between each combo?

I'm usually not that good to earn a ban but when I do do really well I'm a good winner, just don't laugh at them, don't give patronising advice and don't start trolling and they'll stick to it.

 

[megajon]

I've been kicked from a game soldier front for being too good they all complained i was wall hacking and could see, shoot through wall and had an aimbott on but all i really did was listen for for there foot steps or them jumping then quick scope them, they didn't quite understand how i could do so well in close range with my sniper against there machine guns then when they sniped couldn't figure out why i was better.

 

[Lug100]

Yes.
COD4
PunkBuster kicked me because it thought I was hacking...
I wasn't hacking...it just thought I was because I was doing so well it was considered inhuman(Godly).
25-0 kill streak in under 30 seconds. Nearly every shot was a head shot.(hit, not fired)
P90 was my weapon of choice, with which I unloaded a magazine and then swithed to the Desert Eagle.
It was glorious...that is until I was kicked...then it turned into a completely different glorious moment.

punkbuster detects script alterations, not godly kill streaks. you woulda had something running in the background for it to kick you like you say. either that or the admin kicked you claiming to be punk buster somehow.

Nope punkbuster can kick for lots of reasons, ive personaly been banned from MW1 for thinks like clicking the mouse to quickly with semi-auto's (No i was NOT using an auto-clicker, im just damn fast) and for things like above when i was doing too good, like getting an 89 kill streak... Also i didnt in all cases have anything in the background apart from basic OS functions, as i like to have all my computer resources behind me when i game...

 

[hazabaza1]

Joined a CoD4 server, saw 3 three people standing in a row, killed them all, and the rest of the server was all "OMG BAN THAT NOOB OMG".
Then I got kicked.

 

[Reveras]

More times than I can count in CS and CS:Source and CoD4:MW. It gets sickening after a while and I just start to ask myself what kind of stupid hacks get admin on servers.

 

[mrF00bar]

Yes, more than once and mostly in Counter Strike Source although I was so good with the sniper rifle in the first UT I always got accused of aimbotting.

Anyway, the most memorable ban was on the =USA= (United States of Albania) server. Oddly enough it was located in the UK . It was an cs_office 24/7 server and one of my favorites until one day I HS the server owner himself at the beginning of the round in mid run, perma-banned from the server and forums. He was such an asshole.

 

[AngloDoom]

I got banned and shouted at for knifing more than people thought was appropriate in a Gun Game in Nuketown, in Modern Warfare. It was a tight map with lots of people hiding around corners and such, and my immediate reaction was "AHH! KNIFEKNIFEKNIFE!"

Eventually I got kicked because I made it to top of the table because I knifed so often that everyone was still trying to get a better shotgun and I had just moved onto machine-guns, about a minute after the match had started.

Lots of angry messages...

 

[hawkeye52]

I've been banned from one of the only remaning decent cod4 servers which was a sad day for me
