Would anyone else like to see the return of double xp weekend playlists?
I honestly don’t care what the average playlists are as they are usually similar between games. I do however want to see the return of double xp weekends. These are the games I’d like to see for DXP weekend.
Rumble Armory - FFA where everyone starts with the same starting weapon. Things like FFA Needlers, FFA BR’s, FFA, Shotties etc…
Living Dead - I know this playlist is loved but it loses it’s value when it’s always available. It needs to be double xp so people stop using it to help their K/D basically turning it into a snooze fest. When it’s double xp people actually try to enjoy it a little more.
Action Sack - I love this playlist but I wouldn’t mind seeing it everyone once in a while as double xp rather than on a constant basis.
CTF - This one is self explanitory. All CTF all weekend long.
King - Just as CTF this one would be all king of the hill all the time. CTF and KOTH aren’t played as much as they could be. Weekend playlists could get people into these gametypes.
Grifball - Same as living dead. It’s really popular and whatnot but it is extra fun when on a weekend.
Race - Mongoose racing on user created tracks.
Rocket Race/Rocket Hog Race - Either way it’s a fun weekend playlist.
Team Fiesta - 4v4 Team Slayer Random weapon starts. Random weapons on the map. Random.
3 ball - multi-team oddball with 3 balls.
And anything else that is different and fun that doesn’t really have a permanent place in matchmaking. What would you guys and gals like to see in a double xp weekend playlist?
Right now, this is at the top of my “Most Wanted” list, honestly. I always loved Team Fiesta.
Double XP weekends were the best, they were something to look forward to at the end of the week.
You know, it wasn’t so much the credits I preferred, more seeing a cool little playlist to try out every week.
Ditto to that, evilut1on. I loved DoubleXP weekends, knowing that everyone was going to be in there, and the playlists would almost always be fun.
And you still had to work hard and play effectively, and you only got it if you won.
None of this maybe-I’ll-get-it-maybe-I-won’t crap.
Here’s hoping for double XP in Halo 4. No jackpots.
I liked these weekends it made playlists like grifball and living dead special and made you look forward to these weekends, as a posed to having there own playlists 24/7.
I also have to say that rocket race needs to be limited to these weekends because it’s annoying to constantly play them in multi team.
The best part about Doub XP weekends was that there was always a weekend playlist to go with them. This kept the MM environment unique each week instead of just getting people to go into playlists that were already there like Reach does.
I think there should be some kind of monthly cycle (yuk) when it comes weekend playlists (or more preferably weekly playlists) b/c the live-span of most games are so short these days that some of these popular weekend playlists should come around more often.
If we take an average of 5 weeks per every month, that mean 5 unique playlist per month. 3 of those 5 should be popular things like Grifball, Race, and Infection while leaving the final 2 slots open for unique new playlists to appear. Such as:
- Flagstravaganza (CTF-only)
- Grab Bag (Community Action Sack)
- various new Classic playlists (a few will be permanent, but not many)
- etc.
However, some playlists are too popular to keep held to only one week (or weekend) each month like Infection and may eventually become permanent playlists.
A race playlist for weekend events would be awesome. I can never get a good custom game going for race.
Double exp much better loved it on halo 3.

Same. It would just be nice to be able to have them on some weekends. 
Don’t forget FFA Fiesta its much better then Team Fiesta
My god, you have no idea what I would do for a race playlist. I also prefer the Double XP weekends to the Super Jackpot weekends, but maybe that’s nostalgia talking. I do hope they bring them back in Halo 4…
I concur! Double XP weekends are so awesome!
I made a thread about this a while back Double xp weekends and, the playlists were part of why halo 3 had such a population-- I called in sick to work play Ranked zombies for 2 days
I would love to see a nice mix of Ranked and social playlists for this
I loved the Rankes one and social Team Flag …
343i can I haz
In my mind one of the thinks that made double xp weekends so great was the EXP PER PLAYLISTS
Thats what kept me coming back was going for my general in that playlist or a higher Rank then befor …
Halo 4 needs exp per playlists and Double xp weekends 343i
> Don’t forget FFA Fiesta its much better then Team Fiesta
Yes it was so much fun in H3.
I loved coming home from school and being ready to play all weekend and being so excited haha. I also remember having loads of fun in grifball, 3 ball, living dead, Team Flag, Rocket Race, and FFA Fiesta. Having double exp weekends would keep me on H4 much longer.
Ahh… I remember the time when me and my friends gathered together at weekends just to play some Halo 3 Living dead all day long. I want that time back.
Also VIP was very rare in H3 MM. If it’s in H4 343 should make VIP double exp weekend playlist. Anyone remember ODST playlist from H3? It had that game type where one player was the engineer and ODSTs had to drive around the Sandtrap with elephant while protecting the engineer from the other team. It was so much fun.
I think it would be a great idea to see Double XP or Jackpot Weekends to be in Halo 4
Oh how I long for team fiesta.
Team Flag & Rankes zombies
Ranked-- Big Team Battle also was double xp for Two months in, a, row great times
Legendary Brawl was always a favorite of mine back in Halo 3. It was a huge free-for-all with 16 people. If you got in the top 8 you “won” and got the double XP.
Very fun.
