This weekend warzone assault! I am not a big fan of the game type but I will be playing it some this weekend. Been getting around 10k in XP with a rare XP boost per game. Shortest being like six minutes longest being 16 minutes… Good payouts though.
Played some earlier, even though I got destroyed by one of the usual top teams it was still a blast. I miss the days when Assault was a permanent playlist.
Im glad it’s back. It’s one of my favorite playlists. I will definitely be playing a lot this weekend. Maybe I will finally bring myself to finish the last push through 150

That’s not double exp. Increase’s exp…maybe but nowhere near what payouts I can get when a double exp event is around. They always announce double exp weekends/weeks, they haven’t done one in a while.
Edit: Anyway it would be useful for exp if the population didn’t seem dead in this playlist at the moment.

It’s right from 343 that they are awarding double XP for the playlist. Remember the double XP applies to what the playlist pays out then the boost is applied. Unfortunately it doesn’t double the boost.

Yeh, just noticed the link via Twitter. Rather odd since I’m sure I’ve seen double exp give a lot more exp than what I’m getting plus what’s even more strange is that a double exp playlist seems dead at the moment. Actually the boost should be doubled since I’ve been in playlists before that would give me up to 50k per match, without it I would get 25k without the boost. When I was meaning lack of mention…I was referring to the blogs since I usually read the blogs when they announce them.

The playlist is probably low population right now because most here in America are headed to work. It will pick up later. I had no trouble finding games yesterday afternoon and last night

Maybe right but not in USA, I have settings to extended. Oddly was fine this morning till a few hours later it just seemed dead. I watched a few programs while searching and found nothing oddly. Makes the grind to 152 exhausting…only need 500k, guess I’ll have to try again later.
Yea Double XP can be misleading since it isn’t truly double. It only seems to double the Category ‘Player Rank’ in the post game breakdown. Would be nice if the boost doubled but it’s not the case lol
That’s cool. Side note OP, you seem to be one of the only people I consistently run into on these forums. I can’t help but find your name and the technician helmet you wear memorable.

Cool, I think I recall seeing your name in a couple games but Spartan is used quite a bit in gamertags. I like running into fellow waypointers in games.
It’s nice to have double exp but I wish they’d pick a better mode since Warzone Assault is an unbalanced mess and is known for people cheating by spawn camping, is generally infuriating to play.

Got to look at the positive side of it … I don’t mind just having to hit x a couple of times and the game ends in like 5 minutes and then I collect like 8000ish XP…
I seem to lose any req weapon really fast in this game mode. Any one else have this problem?

Tried to but some days it’s impossible to do this. Other day I got a lot of exp, it became so unplayable that I literally wanted to rage at the game. I don’t mind a game ending quick…but what’s not fun is when a team is spawn trapping in assault, then lets the team capture at the last minute then continues to do this ‘trick’ to get more spawn trapping so end up with 15 minutes of not being able to do anything, that is where I draw the line and end up having to turn off the game.

I haven’t experienced that but if a team was doing that I would just quit out. You see you can quit games and not get banned as long as you don’t quit regularly.

Yes but the games are generally unpredictable, it’s common problem with online. It’s like I’ve just been in game where people were cheating by spawn trapping my entire team with wasps so nobody could do anything on Prospect, it was unplayable. Just checked, it was related to clans but this type of behaviour shouldn’t even existed, if the teams are allowed to this easily then what’s the point in playing?, these issues have never been fixed and makes exp farming infuriating.

I think you are being a bit unrealistic when it comes to online games. Spawn trapping has been a thing in Halo since the beginning. It happens with well organized teams and heck sometimes a team of random can do it. Gotta take those bad games with the good ones. I have played quite a bit of assault over the last couple of days and can say the spawn trapped games were very few, maybe two or three games. Over all it’s been fun even though I hate one sided objective games.

Have to disagree because it’s more common with Assault due to clans, how easier it is to do and it’s enough to put me off playing. Plus from past experience in Halo games there’s usually a way to try get away while H5 someone as I spawn I’m instantly killed with no way to do anything…I remember in classic in maps like Blood Gultch where spawn trapping would rarely happen due unbalanced teams, I would be able to hide in numerous places but with H5 there is nowhere to run before getting camped, there is literally nothing I can but wait till my spawn happens before being instant killed.

I hear yeah but the spawn trapping in assault doesn’t happen so often it makes the playlist unplayable or anything. In my experience it might be one out of ten maybe even twenty games or so.
