Mass Effect 3

[CCBrink]

Just base it off the MP we have now.

Pick which race you want to be (basic human to a budding STG salarian agent to even a recently produced VI implanted in a robot body, etc.), who you'd like to work for (Alliance, Cerberus, maybe a Merc Company like the Blue Suns who then hire you out to other players as support or even as a surrogate "hero" during a raid for a cut of the credits to go with your XP earnings...), etc.

Ex: You pick Human Adept so you start out Level One at the Grissom Academy.

From there, you go to "Class" (game tutorials) and learn how to crazy shit that Adepts do.

The game manufactures your first boss fight in a small merc band hired to steal kids for Biotics tests.

You take them down and earn a new level.

Best part is, both the Alliance and Cerberus got footage of your deeds and each extend an invite into joining their cause.

You can join either or strike out one your own as a potential Merc, possibly getting a call from Eclipse...

The potential is endless.

This sounds like a MMORPG. I like it.

I would love the First Contact Wars scenario.

I would pay a million dollars to do a scenario explaining why Shepard is known as "The Butcher of Torfan". I just wanna fuck up some Batarians.

Link to the ME Wikia's MP page.

Info on all the Rares, scarcity of weapons (hint: stop buying reg and vet packs), etc.

Also, there's a 'Jumbo' Equipment pack out now replacing the Premium Vet pack? 10 item cards for 33,000 creds.

Finally beat a silver mission last night. Jesus Christ it was like the 10th and 11th wave was a one man show with my Turian Soldier with Mattock VI and Widow... i think they did something to the widow because its not hitting as hard as it used to.

I still think we're a ways off from seeing a Mass Effect MMORPG. The Old Republic is going to go a long way in deciding whether or not BioWare pursues another one.

Friday, March 30 – Sunday, April 1

The Reaper horde is growing, so we must as well. Effective military strength needs to increase, and veterans must train conscripts so that they, in turn, can train others.

Allied Goal: Promote 150,000 characters. Victory Packs awarded to all players upon successful completion.
Individual Goal: Promote 2 characters. Commendation Pack awarded to individual players upon successful completion.

Welcome to the next N7 Multiplayer Weekend!

Last weekend our community operatives united to train a record number of new recruits. The time has come to turn these new recruits into battle-hardened veterans.

Join the war against the Reapers online between 5PM PST Friday, March 30th to 5AM PST Monday, April 2st and promote at least 2 characters to your single player campaign.

This operation includes PC and Xbox 360; we are continuing to work with Sony to enable these types of Operations on the PlayStation 3 platform. We appreciate your patience, and we expect an update later this week regarding Operation Raptor and the PlayStation 3.

Commendation Packs will be awarded to individual soldiers who complete their training, and a Victory Pack will be awarded to everyone if the Allied Goal is achieved. Packs will be available to download the following week. Please note that participants need to set “Upload Gameplay Feedback” to “on” in the online options to be able to participate in Operation RAPTOR.

Read somewhere on the PA boards that Bioware tinkered with some of the firing rate percentages as well as damage for certain guns.

I'm guessing they got a lot of complaints of Infiltrators ganking kills.

EDIT: What the shit, SONY?

You can't promote individual characters though I thought? Doesn't it take the whole group?

Yep.

They just want to see boosted play hour numbers apparently.

More promotions = More time spent on their game that's easy to show on a graph in the near future.

Unfortunately that means more time on Bronze now...

So we can expect a Vanguard nerf coming soon then?

Never.

OP character builds er'ryday because everyone uses Vanguard.

Just got the Krogan Soldier.

[Leftwich]

I need Krogan Soldier and both Drell and I have all classes.

[j.hen]

I still need both Quarians/Salarians and the Krogan Sentinel.
