In Halo 3 there were double exp weekends, I found this to be so much fun and offered such a great time. As did having infection not being a permanent playlist.
This in essence made events in Halo, times that were very popular and made for many memorable events. It was also something you could always look forward to.
I would really like to see these return, perhaps modified a bit, but return none the less. What about you guys? Would you like to see these things return?
Double EXP weekends were fun. Each weekend you got a different playlist which always made you anticipate the double EXP weekend. Even Infection and Grifball felt a lot more fun when you didn’t get to play them all the time. If there is one thing I want back from Halo 3, it’s double EXP weekends, they were simply so much fun.
I know that I recall every so often when infection would pop up my friends and I would get together over at my place, we’d buy a bunch of pop and chips, buy some pizza, and we’d just play all night. But now, infection is infection it holds no special place to us any more. It’s just a slayer variant really, rather than a amazing rare special occasion.
Double EXP should be standard for BTB. H3 BTB games were just so long and there was no guarantee you’d get anything (as you might lose), double EXP would help make that investment of time worthwhile.
