Weekend Playlists should make a return

I don’t know about you guys, but I really miss the old Halo 3 Double XP weekends… It wasn’t about the XP for me, it was about there being a little variety every weekend. Something to look forward to, that mixes it up a bit. This idea really hasn’t been implemented in Reach, and I’m guessing that’s because having a double cR weekend would turn into a credit earning fiesta, with people ranking up multiple times. The super jackpots have been a great idea to get players to play low-population playlists, but having a weekend only playlist would add variety.

Some possible playlists:

Race
Rocket Race
FFA Fiesta
Grifball (I heard that it won’t be a playlist?)
Maption Sack
BTB Maption Sack
Team Melee
Team Flag
DLC Brawl
Rockets
V-Day Massacre
Team Control
Something Firefight related (Similar to Prepare to Drop)

Obviously we only have a vague idea on how the ranking system is going to work with the final product, but this could be implemented pretty easily. This is one of the things that Reach has really been missing.

Yes please. Double XP weekends in Halo 3 were so fun, and they gave you something different to enjoy every once in a while. Also, make infection a weekend gametype, don’t leave it in as a permanent playlist.

Has 343 confirmed where infection will be playlist-wise? I know grifball was talked about in one of the recent bulletins, but I have heard nothing about infection.

Agreed, OP. Weekend playlists were wonderful. It wasn’t about the XP for me either, it was a nice incentive to get the playlists populated, though. Hopefully we’ll see the return of better playlist variety. I miss having a populated rocket race playlist. I really hope the mongoose drives better in this game. :stuck_out_tongue:

FFA Fiesta was one of my favorites and the others were great too so I hope the double xp weekends return.

Infection will probably be dxp playlist too on the weekend.

It’s a must for sure, weekend playlists are exciting instead of a squillion playlists that are permanent with a low amount of players.

I loved the weekend playlsts in Halo 3, but I think the 2x xp thing all depends on how ranking works. I think a different gametype every weekend would be fun regardless of rhe xp it gives us, I believe thats one thing that made the Halo 3 community so much stronger just getting on friday night and playing grifball or infection with your friends.

Yea, I loved double XP weekends.

Double XP weekends were what made Halo 3 such an amazing game. A new, whacky, and fun palylist every weekend was amazing. I hope we see its return in Halo 4

Infection should be a Double Exp event again.

Double exp weekends were much better than the super jackpot weekends. And the gametypes were crazy and awesome!!
