Takal Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 ...I have so many shotguns I'll never use. Katana VII springs to mind.And I never play as biotics. Not sure why anymore. My bias towards dismissing their use as a cheap tactic has subsided recently. Should give it a shot. My infiltrator-inclination seems to be aggrievating things as I loath to go back to Bronze to practice when I could be playing silver or gold. Quote It's not illegal, it's just cheating.

Angel Beat Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 I just did a game as Vanguard with just the Predator pistol.Against Reaper forces.I just 'danced' around the Brutes and Banshees. Hardly used the pistol.

Bio D Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Well, in between 2 and 3 of my Infiltrator playthrough, some dark necromancer has brought Balak back to life using Kelly Chambers. Consistency? Important character moments? Pfffft.And I'm still peeved Saren didn't get more significance other than the occaisional "hey, remember when we took down a rogue Spectre?".

Makaru Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) To me, Saren should have at least been referred to by name consistently if you convinced him to sacrifice himself for the organic good at the end of ME1.Spoiler alert.

Element Lord of Milk Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 So I decided to break out my Krogan sentinel again due to the recent buffs to Lift Grenade and Tech Armor, and wow, he's actually viable on Silver now!First match I used the Claymore VII and Mattock X, went alright, next match I used my Claymore again plus my newly unlocked Talon, not a huge fan of the Talon. I'll do another match later with my Paladin II in place of the talon and see how that goes~ELM~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate_Kardas Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 For the next operation, all we have to do to get the commendation pack is promote 3 characters. To get the victory pack (which has a high chance for a rare weapon), everyone has to promote a total of 50000 characters.Also, there's a twist. Because we failed to kill all the banshees, there will not only be more banshees in reaper games, but banshees will also be spawning with other enemies like Geth or Cerberus.~U_K~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makaru Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) The immersion part of me is kind of annoyed. Only will that niggling voice of mine be sated if the Banshees also attack Cerberus and Geth troops.And I'm pretty sure that won't happen.

Element Lord of Milk Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Okay, the Paladin is the best thing ever, it's basically a sniper rifle sans scope, of course the Carnifex is still better for Power-based classes due to the lower weight, but it's great for my Krogan Sentinel, the first match i used it I hardly used my Claymore.~ELM~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xinlo Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 [/late to the party]Totally a fan of this series now - I've only completed ME2, because ME1's in the mail and I refuse to play ME3 until I get to it chronologically.Anyway, basics are I'm a male Adept, Tali and Garrus are my favourite characters, but Garrus and Grunt are my favourite squad members. Also Tali is adorable and completely impossible to not romance. I'll have to wait and see to compare the first two games until my package arrives, but I've been watching my sister play ME3 and it looks pretty sweet. Depressing as heck, though. Especially the whole Quarian/Geth thing if you can't resolve it...Anyway yeah, this is like the first series I've actually liked enough to play through, and ME2 is the first game I've ever beaten.

Promised Land Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Info on the Rebellion Pack:May 29 NA releaseIncludes two new maps- Firebase Jade and Firebase GoddessIncludes six new characters. All will have their own unique abilities.-Vorcha Soldier and Sentinel-Male Quarian Infiltrator and Engineer-Ex-Cerberus Vanguard and AdeptIncludes three new weapons-Cerberus Harrier Assault Rifle (pretty much a full-auto Mattock with a damage nerf)-Reegar Carbine Shotgun (description makes it sound like the Arc Pistol in shotgun form)-Kyrsae Sniper Rifle (Turian anti-material rifle that uses armor-piercing/explosive rounds. The scope can apparently adjust to keep targets proportionately in view, even if they're up close. So it sounds like it's going to be an anti-material rifle that can act as a shotgun.)And of course, the DLC is free.Also- Quote His former links: The Legend of Zelda: The Fouth Triforce, Trials of Brothers (review), Seven Eyes of the Dead, Yu-Gi-Oh!- Darkness Returns!Personal Links: Astray, Kit Preview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSR Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Another site's report on the DLC also mentioned a new objective for objective waves and the addition of a "permanent" equipment slot that would provide persistent bonuses, but the fact it's not on the official site makes me wonder if they had to hold those back to make this release date. Frankly, those would be more exciting to me than a few new characters/weapons, so I hope those additions do show up soon. Quote Hey: I'm not very active around BZP right now.

HAZMAT Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Honestly, I'd be fine if they held back the new objective.Escort missions?No thank you.It sounds more like capture-the-flag than an actual escort mission:Randomly occurring during waves 3, 6 and 10, this new objective will demand that teams retrieve a high priority package and securely escort it to a designated extraction zone on each map.

Xaeraz Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 It has the word escort in it, therefore it is an escort mission, therefore it is terrible. My logic is unquestionable.
