Eagle-eyed forum member Amblix caught something neat while watching G4's exclusive preview of the upcoming Dark Corners DLC/All Fronts collection. At exactly 2:49 in the following video, the camera pans by a row of TV's, the one on the right showing someone playing Horde. It catches him right at the start of a new wave, with the achievement progression bar popping up in the lower right, notifying the gain of experience from the previous wave.
So while this isn't exaclty confirmation, it does appear the next title update (that will add in code for the Dark Corners DLC) will give the ability to earn experience while playing Horde mode. The only thing we need to know now, is how terrible the conversion will be. Currently the worst mode to play is Annex at a mere 26% - I can only image Horde will be lower than this, even on Insane. Time will tell if this rumor is even true, and if so, if it will speed up the long haul to level 100.

I can only pray that should this become a reality, it could work in Private sessions and not just in Public sessions. I'd rather turn my eye in a clear moment and see intelligent teammates shooting down Grinders and Boomers than having to turn my head and see 3 guys get taken down in 2-second spans.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
