The Glade 4.0

Decoy is by far the best ability in the game. It's ridiculously overpowered and broken. So, f humans.

I don't know. The Quarian using turrets upgraded with rockets has been giving me some of the highest scores I've ever gotten in MP. I'm running around using the M-77 Paladin I pistol, which is almost like cheating. That thing's like a **** sniper rifle. Though, I started using the Quarian and the pistol at the same time, so my newfound awesome scores (like, 50k+ games) could be attributed to either, or both. *Shrug*

Edit - and I'm amazed that you're getting so much play out of the multiplayer I feel like I'm playing a ton and you're still four characters ahead of me.

Operation RAPTOR SUCCESS!
From: Admiral Steven Hackett, Citadel Allied Command

Re: Operation RAPTOR

Confidentiality classification: XA-PRIME

Distribution: N7 Forces Only

Soldiers of the Milky Way,

I am pleased at the number of promotions achieved during Operation RAPTOR. The influx of veterans and leaders is already proving invaluable in our fight against the Reapers.

While our comrades spread across the galaxy to carry on the fight, you must reconstitute your forces and bring new fighters to the fore. The N7 cadre has never been an easy calling, but your guts and determination have made you the most feared fighting force the Alliance has ever known. Prepare yourself; there will be more challenges in our future. Good fortune favors the prepared mind… and arsenal.

--Admiral Hackett

Congratulations on another successful N7 Operation!

We had a record number of soldiers promoted last weekend: over 350,000, shattering our previous community goal of 150,000.

Victory Packs and Commendation Packs will arrive no later than Wednesday April, 4th.  Make sure to redeem them and begin training your new recruits.  Operation Beachhead is scheduled to deploy next weekend, April 6th- 8th and will require expert trained soldiers to complete.  Stay tuned for more information on Operation Beachhead later this week.

I guess next weekend we're gonna have to complete gold missions. Should be easy; not looking forward to playing with the idiots.

Was playing a bronze geth mission on noveria. The host lost connection and the Wave restarted. Suddenly I was on wave 11 and tasked with picking up a prothean artifact and delivering it elsewhere on the map. Only me in the mission and I ran smack into a prime so it was over shortly.

But... I think it's safe to say new multiplayer options coming

That's been a bug in the game since the demo. It seems they had more objectives but couldn't get them completed in time for release. So I wouldn't be surprised to see it in a future update, yeah. It's kind of like the N7 mission in the single player where you have to grab the artifacts and bring them back to the shuttle.

Took a glance at the ME3 wiki RE: multiplayer and I have a question...

To play the multiplayer portion what is required?

Do you need the online pass packaged with the game AND an Xbox live GOLD subscription? Or is just the online pass enough?

Yes, you need both.

Playing any game with other people on Xbox requires a Gold subscription. That'll never change.

The online pass unlocks the multiplayer in your game. It's a one-time thing.

Yeah, that's what I kinda figured. Just the way the "online pass" entry read, it left me thinking that it was a workaround of sorts..

Bleh, thanks.

Online Passes exist for two reasons:
1) Try to cull pirates from online games
2) Make sure the publisher potentially gets $$ even from a used game

Or you could have gotten the PC version and not have to worry about a gold membership.

Nice to see a patch with no nerfs this time.

Nice to see a patch that doesn't change a single damn thing I use.

I use tech bursts all the time, so I was really happy to see that change.

And they're buffing the soldiers in the ways I was hoping they wouldn't. sigh.

You mean the power of their abilities, or...?

Well instead of changing anything about the Soldier abilities (good), they really just changed which weapons you can carry (bad).

Nm. I'm retarded.

They buffed concussive shot and frag grenade. And fortification, but honestly...if you go fortification on a krogan soldier, you most likely aren't putting points into carnage. Hell, even after the change I still won't put points into carnage unless I'm not going fortification. Carnage is only good if you spam it and fortification doesn't let you do that. Unless you purge a lot for the melee damage, but still...melee isn't exactly a viable option on gold, so you take fortification for the DR.

Soldiers should be shooty, not Yet Another Power Spam class.

So the buffs here are going in the wrong direction, to me.

Got a god damn Hurricane in my commendation pack, followed by a Spike Thrower and Hornet in my 99k spectre pack. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU



I feel like I'm being punished for something.

Got a Valiant from my Commendation pack. Still haven't unlocked a Widow yet. Good thing I unlocked the Valiant, because that and the default sniper rifle are the only ones I have so far.

Also, finally unlocked the Salarian Infiltrator and Turian Sentinel last nite.

Salarian Infiltrator + Valiant is pretty much God mode.
