Subject: Weekend Playlists Ideas?

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
Maption Sack
BTB Maption Sack
Team Melee
Team Flag
DLC Brawl
Rockets
V-Day Massacre
Team Control
Something Firefight 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 miss them as well. 343 should really bring weekend playlists back instead of just a jackpot. CR means absolutely nothing.

Exactly. cR mean nothing to me. I just want variety.

Wont happen. Pointless in Reach.

Why pointless? I don't see any problems with it.

Relax. I'd rather not piss this thing off.

Well from my understanding, it would bring some players back into reach, something you should post on 343i forums as a suggestion. I do miss how bungie would make Weekend playlist.

Will do, I prefer to post here first to get some initial feedback, then post to 343i.

Perhaps they could use it to test out gametypes instead of just putting them in *cough* Team Hotshot *cough* (Don't get me wrong. It's a neat idea, but did that have any playtesting outside of 343?). Or community maps ( bit of a longshot since we won't be able to access files except for the browser in game...)

Yeah, that would be another potential avenue for them to take.
