He wouldn't feel like a man if he didn't also play Battlefield 3.

No, I wouldn't feel like a man if I did not play Army of Two.

So much manliness.

I've heard you talk about Army of Two.

You don't play Army of Two. It plays you.

Im not sure if anybody has seen this name generator. Regardless its absolutely hilarious, I use it for naming my Krogan on ME3 MP:

Thanks for the link, very helpful.

You know, now that I think of it, I really wish they'd make a DLC mission pack that added single player missions to Palaven's moon, Sur-Kesh, Tuchanka, Rannoch, Thessia, etc-- so that we'd get to spend more time on said planets/moons, and feel like we made a little more of an impact.

I think we have missions in each of those places in multiplayer, but it's not part of Shepard's story. :/

The multiplayer missions on many of those areas are kind of already based on those in the game already.

Firebase Goddess is almost an exact copy of the temple where you fight the Gunship on Thessia.

Firebase Jade is very similar to the 'retrieve the krogan female' mission on Surkesh.

Firebase Giant is an N7 mission on Tuchanka.

Though, it would be nice to do some stuff on the others - like Firebase Rio, returning to Vancouver.

Oh well, here's to Dragon Age: Inquisition!

Ahem.

I suppose the necessary balancing component of multiplayer maps - threats from all directions, defensive positions everywhere - just doesn't lend itself well to the more narrative-focused linear style of singleplayer maps.
In multiplayer, you spend minutes running back and forth, all over the place. In SP, you generally move from A to B. This makes SP maps appear slightly more realistic and "open-world", even when you're being railroaded.

Also, I noticed just now that BW is no longer running events and won't release new multiplayer DLCs. Just as I was getting back into the game.
Meh, guess it was just a matter of time and we should be thankful that it lasted as long as it did. At least it's still fun even without the events.

Macok: My pleasure! I've just been looking for a way to present my build and figured there's a good chance someone came up with a tool like that. I had not known of it before either.

As I understand it BioWare is done with this game. Citadel was their farewell.

Yup. Here's hoping that perhaps the next ME game will have multiplayer again, too.

Until then .. maybe I can some day finally get that friggin last customisation unlock that just keeps eluding me. It's gotten to a point where I'd rather spend 1.000.000 credits on it rather than keep opening packs with random BS. My experience with this system was exactly as I predicted when the system was first announced.

Whatever new ME we get (please, don't pull a CoD on us...), bring on the Elcor mounts! Imagine riding an Elcor into battle. Dear god, that's be awesome. Shepherd riding his fellow Elcor friend with Ashley / Liara on the back, going pew pew pew. feth yeah.

"Highly excited: Let's kick ass, Shepherd."

I actually pictured that in my mind, Imagine a war with Elcors.

"Intense Rage: DIE DIE DIE"

Nonono, it's "Angrily: die, die, die."

Elcor don't shout!

Thats true, my apologies. An Elcor with a cannon on its back would be awesome however

Iirc, that's how they actually go to war in the fluff. Mounted weapons and then ride to glory.

I knew it sounded familiar when i wrote it! Wasn't sure if i was just imagining things again...

Pretty much;



http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Elcor

Elcor warriors don't carry small arms; their broad shoulders serve as a stable platform for the same size of weapons typically mounted on Alliance fighting vehicles. According to an elcor diplomat on the Citadel, elcor soldiers are called "living tanks" by their enemies, among other less flattering names

Yes and no.

They're "done" with events and the like, as the team for ME3's multiplayer(which included individuals from the singleplayer team) have moved on. They are starting to work on the next (quoting here) "entries" in the franchise--or in the case of some individuals, their contracts were up and they're moving on to other things.

They're continuing to support the multiplayer. Servers are not going to be shut down, the N7 Hub is going to remain up, and they're still going to be doing ban waves for exploiters/cheaters.

I'm pretty sure Elcor wouldn't like to be "ridden".

Indeed... Some of people's comments make me worry they would like to see something like World of Masscraft where the setting is turned into a theme park.

Coming from a long-time RTS enthusiast, that's no surprise. People have long since attempted to claim that every RTS sucks because it's not enough like starcraft or because it's too much of a starcraft clone.

Man I'm such a newb! I kept wondering where people got all this elite stuff I see on the forums etc. Never realized there were 5 free expansion packs!

Now I'm stylin with my N7 Demolisher and Alliance Infiltration Unit, she's my fav so far, melee ninja skills!

Also unlocked the ultra rare reaper adept thingy, but haven't played him yet.

Game just loves to give me shotguns, and sniper rifles. Still stuck with 2 assault rifles, 2 pistols and 2 smg. But I got some good shotguns, love the graal spike thrower and reaper plasma shotgun.

Been playing a few Silver missions and doing ok, don't always make it to the end.

Having tons of fun, even if I am late to the party

Give it time, you'll get more stuff. Rarely the things you are hoping for, but often enough other cards that may be just as fun if you're lucky.

The rest is just a matter of experience and trained reflexes. Weapon mods help a lot, and don't forget that you can now also get permanent gear mods that - unlike the other equipment consumables - are good for more than just a single round! I'm mostly using Assault Loadout there; gives me +2 thermal clips and +6% weapon damage.

Oh, and welcome to the party.

Meanwhile, if you're unlucky like me, you can get a bunch of weapons you don't want and almost no wepaon mods, including not having any of the armor penetration weapon mods that make using weapons in gold or platinum actually a viable strategy.

Hell, I have only two sniper rifle mods total after all this time-- the +damage barrel and the extra thermal clips.

It is a total crapshoot isnt it? I got some nice sniper rifles, the Javelin is kinda cool, but the delay thing bothers me. Also the N7 rare one, but I haven't used it.

At first I really hated the shotguns, but now they're my favorite.

So is there a Dakka group for PC? Would love to play with some people who are good! Not saying I suck, I'm far from the best though. But the random PUGs do get tiresome. Sometimes they're good, sometimes fail on bronze on wave 5-6 lol.

Somehow I must have gotten fairly lucky with the weapon mods early on. - I guess it's cause I did most of my playing before the other expansions came out.

I'm on pc as compelbast

Finally unlocked Quarian (Female) Engineer, so now I think I might try to actually play a proper engineer class instead of the N7 grenadier class, heh.

I have it set up to spam fire explosions (incendiary rounds on a light assault rifle + flamethrower on turret + incinerate) at the moment, although I know that there are probably better builds based around the cryo blast -> incinerate combo.

I gotta say the Salarian engineer is my killiest char so far, the shield drain + fire explosions, and now finally a new assault rifle, the Phaeston, cleans house. I usually start silver rounds with him vs. Geth for easy kills.
