So one thing that a huge majority of call of duty players want to do is reach master presteige. I have never been able to do this in any previous COD to date and this is my goal for AW. So I did some research and found out that besides skill game mode is one of the most important things if you want to rank up fast. I consider myself a decent player so I figured I need to find the game mode that gives the most xp. When I went to find out which game mode would award the most xp I found three different game modes that were supposed to give the most xp, hardpoint, search and destroy, and domination. So I decided to do some of my own testing. I played 5 matches of each game mode using the same class set up. I used the BAL-27 with the quickdraw grip, foregrip, and stock, frag grenade, exo stim, toughness, blast suppressor, cold blooded, UAV with support module and threat detection, and system hack. Theese were my results,
Domination:
Game 1: 12,260
Game 2: 10,255
Game 3: 23,300
Game 4: 22,580
Game 5: 9,400
Total: 77,795
Average: 15,559
Hardpoint:
Game 1: 8,590
Game 2: 18,640
Game 3: 14,250
Game 4: 6,670
Game 5: 3,150
Total: 51,300
Average: 10,260
Search and Destroy:
Game 1: 15,500
Game 2: 8,500
Game 3: 31,500
Game 4: 22,100
Game 5: 11,000
Total: 88,600
Average:17,720
So from what I found Search and Destroy awards the most xp with Domination right behind it, and hardpoint in last but not too far behind. This obvisouly varies depending on things such as if there's double xp or if you complete any operations, but from what I have found Search and Destroy will award you the most xp. Hope this helps
