That will be quite interesting.
They've actually changed it to a squad goal. I'm kind of disappointed that they constantly come up with unclear or blatantly wrong wording for these contests and have to change them. They can't use Englsih as a second language as an excuse like those Ubi branded Canucks! Either way, I'm out of town and away from the old xbox so won't be able to help this time around.
I'm hoping that the next round of multiplayer DLC will come out next week. The last N7 weekend completion fluff text had the usual cryptic mention of something new happening but wasn't follwed by new DLC as in previous months. I guess we'll find out when the followup post to this weekend's contest is posted next week.

Looks like I'll be soloing another bronze match on my Fury, though it's going to take two or three times as long without being able to use medi-gel or an ops pack. Dark Channel is going to be my friend.
I guess i could try it on my Destroyer.....

It really shouldn't be that hard. We just can't make mistakes or run off like idiots playing rambo. Move together, fight together, and revive wherever possible.

Still haven't tried the Extended Cut yet. I admit I'm a little afraid of it messing up the nice closure I cobbled together in my headcanon.
By the way, just stumbled over these:
Have to confess, I'm somewhat unimpressed - it seems as if they could've done with a higher framerate, and definitively better music. The one they chose for the trailers is almost anticlimatic. Would have expected better from the studio that made GitS.
Then again, comparing the trailers for the Dragon Age movie with the final product, maybe they somehow just suck at doing previews. Here's hoping BW/EA actually allowed the studio a big enough budget instead of trying a cheap moneygrab based almost entirely on the license, like I still suspect was the deal with GW's Ultramarine movie.
It looks like an interesting project. Of course, I'm a whore so I'll buy it when it comes out regardless. Personally I like the style and I'm glad they got some of the same voice actors from the game to do the characters.

It's not that hard (especially if you're doing bronze) but I suspect there will be alot of trolls that solo it for themselves and then use an ammo or spec ops pack without mentioning to purposely screw over the other players. There is no way to monitor that unfortunately so I'd probably recommend doing a solo bronze with a very tanky or stealthy character or doing the squad goal only with friends.

Or if your lucky, then have 3 friends join you. I'm not that lucky though. I think i managed it earlier but like you said theres no way to monitor usage of certain packs. Medi-gel and rockets are pretty easy to spot though XD
EDIT: Dammit my eyes decided to not register the last part of that post that mentioned friends.... maybe i should go sleep....

Armies I want:Lizardmen, Warriors Of Chaos, Dark Eldar
Armies I may get: Dark Angels, Tomb Kings, Vampire Counts
I tried soloing it a bunch of times on Friday night, but I kept having problems. The game kept throwing me retrieve objectives, which sounds super easy until you end up having to walk all the way across Fire Base Giant as a Fury with no consumables and no ability to teleport-jump. When I switched to Fire Base Glacier, they stared giving me 1234 objectives which are hard to do on that map against Cerberus. Perhaps I should try against Geth.
I'd use my Krogan Vanguard, but after the promotions from the last event, my team has not fully recovered, and my vanguard is the lowest priority.

Ah yes... the pc gaming master race with its glorious high res textures and nude elcor mods! Kan, I too am part of the console proletariat. PM incoming in case you need a middle man for ME3.

Yes but if you remember, Mass Effect 1 (and 2 I think?) was a console exclusive, so you would not even have this game to play if it were not for us console peasants, getting our hands dirty with things like controllers and red rings of death. If it weren't for us, out on the front lines of gaming, your PC Master Race would have far fewer titles to choose from. It's time we threw off the stigma of being "Filthy Console Gamers" and drag the PC's down into the mud with us! Rise up Con's! We won't stand for these PriCks insulting us any more!
