weekend playlists?

Games Other Halo

I don’t know about you guys (and girls), but I 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 wouldn’t work very well. 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
Team Melee
Team Flag
DLC Brawl
Rockets
V-Day Massacre
Team Control
Something FF related

There could be many different ways to implement this, from super jackpots, to 1.5 cR weekends, to having no bonus cR.

I don’t know, just some extra fun would be nice.

i have actually wondered something like that myself for a while now. i dont care even if its more credits, bu a special playlist for just the weekend would be awesome! although lately I just play team slayer cuz its fun.

I miss these, it was a great thing in Halo 3.

I loved Fiesta.

They should bring them back for Halo Reach or at least Halo 4.

I would love to see them return, they were a blast, Team Fiesta was a personal favourite of mine.

Double cR wouldn’t work right now because of the stupid cR cap. Basically you could play about 10 games a day on the weekend and then you’re capped out.

> Team Melee

Please don’t tell me that is what I think it is

Team Fiesta was awesome! It was always so much fun that my friends and I made a slight variation on that gametype for ourselves lol.

THAT sounds like great fun for me. I never got to play H3 online. Ive gone back now but obviously the pop isn’t what it was. If this happened i would be glued to my 360 ALL weekend.

I would do anything to play Maption Sack again. That one was the best.

I remember I posted something like this on the Bungie forums but was immediately bashed down for already being bigger jackpots on the weekend and such but who really wants that.
A game type for the weekends would be great with some extra credit incentives and maybe even chances to win other stuff such as in game and real prizes like in the days of halo 3 with the screenshot contests Bungie would host.

I’ve been saying this for ages, can even use the gametypes to experiment and find out better balance tweaks. But most people aren’t for it and would prefer making every playlist DMR only.
