Thought I’d see if this could get some support. I’d recently noticed that 343 is giving Recon armor to everyone. This is fantastic news to me, even though I’ve had the armor for quite some time, simply because I am happy to know 343 has remembered Halo 3 and not ditched it like Bungie did.
So, now I’m asking of something.
Many of us who still play Halo 3 have been ranking up for a long time and would like our stars and bars. It’d be nice to have some double exp playlists to ease gaining 5000 EXP and also help gravitate players towards the same locations.
Here’s what I propose:
*A Team Slayer double EXP playlist, all DLC, Slayer BRs/Slayer gametypes
*A Slayer double EXP playlist, all DLC, Slayer BRs/Slayer/Swords/KOTH/Oddball (the typical rumble fare) gametypes
*A Team Objective double EXP playlist, all DLC, Flag variants/Assault variants/Territories variants
There’s a low possibility something like this would happen, but if it did, I and many other players I know would greatly appreciate it.
Instead of perm 7th on the 7th give us permanent double exp! That will bring all the players to the same playlist instead of removing all the other cool playlists like bungie has done!
Part of the point of ranks and EXP is to show how good you are, etc. Always have double EXP would mean the ranks would basically just be half of what they are, so people would have 5000 EXP but would literally only have earned 2500. Therefore, they have done have the work but have earned General Grade 5.

This is a valid point, literally having a recurring Double EXP playlist every weekend, it would be a lot better than a permanent one.
I don’t like that idea. We might as well just make everyone a general 5 star. It’s like saying double cR playlists in Reach. It’s a bit unfair to the inheritors that got there without boosting.

That’s implying that 343i could do such a thing.
I would be fine if they were able to place some sort of permanent timer with a list of different but familiar Double EXP Weekend playlists to release every weekend in the system. This way, 343i would be able to officially no longer support Halo 3, permanently, yet still have a system in place that released different playlists automatically.
However, seeing as how 343i is turning off the “Road to Recon”, which was an automatic system in the servers, I can’t see that happening. That’s why I personally think that all playlists should be made double experience, considering the game is outdated and will soon, in a couple days, have any support for it come to an end.
I can’t agree on having a permanent dexp playlist but what I would like to see is them bring back the Four most popular dexp playlists and just rotate through them each weekend. While we are on the topic of dexp what ever happened to the super epic final dexp weekend?
I disagree, i still play halo 3 all the time but having slayer/objective gametypes alone for double exp would be lame IMO. Now, bringing back the original double exp playlists like grifball, 3-ball, living dead etc would be a lot of fun. But have the playlist be thurs-sun like the original as well
343, seriously bring back double EXP. The whole updating the playlist thing could be done with some sort of cycle? For example, every 3 months there are about 12 weekends. 12 different double EXP playlists in all of those weekends. The cycle then restarts for the next 3 months, and the next 3 months. It’s just a cycle that restarts pretty much every 3 months.
Please make this happen.
Also, to those who say “lets just make everyone 5 star general,” you must be limited because you actually need to be good to get the 50 first. Double EXP isn’t just about ranking up. All of those playlists were actually fun. Grifball, 3 ball, living dead, team melee, mythic brawl… all of those playlists weren’t just for ranking up. Bring the playlists back… H3 needs some love.
i agree i think if they took 7 on 7 off and replaced it with double exp weekend not only would that be a awesome idea but it encourage alot more players to get on halo 3 and repopulate the servers.

Most people I play are 5 stars anyway, the game has been out for years, a few more would make no difference, I could do with getting my 10k exp anyway.
