Red has a consistent 50% bonus to xp, and then in parties its +50% per member that joins the team (but you're splitting the xp with them when they join).

As I understand it (and maybe I'm wrong) it goes like this:

Players : XP Value : Gained XP
1 : 600 : 600 * 1.5 = 900
2 : 300 : 300 * 2 = 600
3 : 200 : 200 * 2.5 = 500
4 : 150 : 150 * 3 = 450
5 : 120 : 120 * 3.5 = 420
6 : 100 : 100 * 4 = 400

Assuming a 6 person group or a solo person kill at the same rate, a solo person would come out ahead by almost 2x the gain. However, if 6 people can kill at least 3 times as fast, there's no question which is most efficient.

On blue the xp would require (even with a paltry 10% bonus at the end) that the group kill about 6 times as fast as a soloer (tough when comparing vs a quader or a nec).
