For those of you still stuck on that floating ring in space, know that your time spent trying to escape from its parasitic residents in Halo 3 this weekend will earn you double the experience points. That's right, it's another Double XP weekend, and Bungie has dropped word that this weekend's playlist will be Rocket Race and it's open for one and all starting right ... wait for it ... now!
More than just a favorite of the Joystiq staff, Rocket Race is a custom playlist that tasks teams of 2 to ride through a series of checkpoints for, uh, points. One person is the driver, and the other has infinite rockets and must try to keep the opposing teams away from the checkpoints.

I wish they brought Rocket Race back permanently.

Sorry about the newb comment, but isn't there a way to save rocket race in your custom file?
