The Absolute FASTEST WAY TO GAIN EXPERIENCE In Halo 4

So there's a lot of bullshit out right now about how to level fast in Halo 4.  Some if it involves cheating with extra controllers logged into your xbox during multiplayer, some if it involves stupid tactics like playing Kind of the Hill games and just letting someone win quickly and farming the match bonus, and some involve just AFKing during matches after getting a kill.


It's all dogshit.  The most I've ever gotten from ANY matchmaking game was 4100, and that was when I went on a rampage with a banshee in a big team battle and racked up over 40 kills.  In a row.

If you want to level quickly, and you are playing ANY MATCHMAKING GAME WHAT SO EVER, you are doing it wrong and leveling slower then you could be.

You need to be playing spartan ops - NOT WITH FRIENDS, but through the solo "Find Game" option in the spartan ops interface. (UPDATE - This will work on ANY mission, as long as you get 11 or more kills, and the mission duration is longer than 8 minutes and 30 seconds).

You need to be active and actually play to get the max bonus, which is a whopping 5950 experience. You need more than 30 kills (which is very easy to do if you are half decent at Halo) in order to get that bonus, otherwise you'll get somewhere around 5k.

*NOTE:  Spartan Ops is miserably laggy, you can experience up to a full second delay.  Stick with it, you'll adjust to the lag and be just fine after the first few kills.

If you're terrible and somehow manage to kill less than 10 enemies, you'll get around 3k, which is still SIGNIFICANTLY more than you're probably getting in any matchmaking game, unless you're awesome and getting 30+ kills a match.

If you AFK, you get nothing, something like 700xp for completing the match.  Report people that do this - it will get them banned and everyone will be better off for it.

So again, Spartan Ops, Matchmaking, 11 or more kills, 8 minute 30 second duration = 5950xp

Absolutely nothing else is faster.  If someone tells you they found something better, demand a screen shot before you go waste your time, because they're wrong.

No go level to 50 and unlock those specs!

    3. Double xp only applies to war games. Spartan Ops is not included in war games.

    4. Matchmaking spartan ops is considered war games

    5. CORRECT, that's an important distinction. If you form a party, or go solo, and do Spartan Ops you are NOT in the matchmaking system, and will get garbage for XP. Follow the article's advice - I won't steer you wrong.

  2. Hey great blog man, I love you are covering Halo and I love how you are keeping the community informed. Would you drop me an email sometime at n3ac3y@gmail.com? I'm trying to build up a video series doing commentaries and I'd love to link up with you in webspace and network some of our ideas.

  3. Hey Balance!
    Just wondering, will you still be able to play 2:5 when the newest episode comes out, and does the double xp work on spartan ops?
    Also, hit me up, my e-mail is leet-shadow@hotmail.com
    I'd like to reward you for teaching me this :)

    1. So, the first answer is yes - but you'll only be able to play it with a party, and party's have a very hard time getting the 5950 max XP.

      Unfortunately, the find game option in Spartan Ops only works for the latest episode. Have no fear though, just because Gagarin isn't available, doesn't mean there won't be an equally easy and appropriate-length mission available! I'll email the details to you now :)

    2. Oh, and yes, double XP does work on spartan ops but ONLY through the find game option, NOT in parties.

      Delete
  4. Yes, you can use your double xp token if you search spartan ops matchmaking, but now private.

  5. Well actually you can get 5950 exp if you successfully finish a spartan ops mission trust me i just got to SR40 yesterday and within 30 minutes i only need 5920 exp to finish the rank

    1. Not quite - just finishing a mission won't do it. I'm not listing specifics here because I don't want to encourage AFK'ers fulfilling the criteria and leaving the rest of their party do the work.

  6. Hey, what current mission should I play, since we can't play that one anymore? Thanks for your help.

    1. Any mission that lasts more than 8:30 will provide a max bonus, assuming you get 11 or more kills as well.
