i was looking forward to a long day of Halo today, but that didn’t happen due to “Xbox live issues”, which in reality were 343 issues. Everything else on XBL worked just fine.
Because of this lost day for a lot of us, when are we getting a double exp or req point weekend? COD, which I loathe, is doing this as we speak, btw. They do it “just because”, and they do it fairly often. 343 has yet to do this.
I know 343 wants to farm us for every dollar they can through the req machine. How bout giving back to the community and giving us a chance to make up for lost play time from their error?
That’s right!!! Double XP weekend and have them every once in a while
Or, you know, AT ALL.
Weren’t we supposed to have those every weekend or something? The heck happened?
Worried people were going to burn through all their REQs I bet.

What? What makes you think it was 343’s fault? Microsoft owns the servers for Xbox live. And 343 has given a ton back to the community when it is there fault for the issue. MCC is a great example for it. Halo 4(though some people did not like the gameplay) had a ton of backing behind it.
If we got double req points no one would buy packs. But I can see them doing double xp.
I want double XP. Trust me today I was expecting a full day grinding on Warzone to hit 400k reqpoints, but never happened. But later today once it was over I hit 385k!

To be honest, 343 hasn’t been really giving us want. They have been just basically throwing more REQs at us so they can get more money for this so called “60 dollar game.” As for Grifball, infection, and firefight goes, they should of been in the game since day one. Truthfully I noticed the lack of content that Halo 5 had at launch and I wasn’t going to pay 60 dollars for half -Yoink- game, so I did the smart thing and got it for 30. Plus even still this game has online issues/bugs that haven’t even been touched and still not worth the 60 bucks, so yeah it’s 343’s fault for not having their -Yoink- in tack and they like to shed the blame on Microsoft for it sometimes as well. Altogether though it’s both Microsoft and 343’s fault.
Entitled bastages get over it
It was down on my last chance to play before my xbox live ran out
You should take this up with xbl. While they are not going to provide you with XP or RP, it never hurts to ask them for compensation due to the outage. "The squeaky wheel gets the grease. " This forum is not the place to do it.
Next weekend please… Double RP is something I think there should be more of ( since there has been none so far).
Its the internet, problems and disconnects happen all the time, get over it

To be fair, he pays for the service. Therfore he is entitled for them to provide a reasonable online experience.
I want this, many games do this, even when it’s not for compensation, just as a fun community event. But no, 343 does not want us earning extra RP as this will take potential Req Pack money out their pockets. Or so they think.
Now you all see why many of us were against such a Microtransaction system, it’s just too much. When literally all items, except Achilles, are locked behind a grind/pay wall, they will not give us a weekend or day to earn double RP. Because they know that players, like myself, would play during this time 24/7 and get as much RP as possible, and not pay for packs instead, even though many players already have and still will do so.
I really hope Halo 6 ditches this system, or Atleast makes it that warzone only has REQs, customisations and such are unlocked the proper way like in Reach or 3, even halo 4 with (some) commendations.
Even Battlefront is doing a double earn weekend.

Yes, the whole internet went bad. Great analysis.
we are paying for a service, when a provider does not give their customer the service they offer properly, they often compensate their customers out of good will.
customer service 101.

You got to give better examples, Dice/EA, The CoD series to even Diablo 3 offer double points of some sort on a regular basis. Also, for XBL going down as much as it has been, if you are willing to just accept double points, well that is great and cheap for MSFT. PSN offered its fans some cheap -Yoink- game when its services went out for a bit, but it is better then double points, which is ultimately up to the Devs for replay value.
You guys know “Featured playlist” offers double xp right? They have literally had double xp every weekend since launch. Warzone Turbo was an amazing way to rank up. I was getting 8k-13k experience per game. So if you play multi-team right now you can get more xp.
