They can keep their Operations, I still haven't gotten the commendation pack from this one.

People at the head of the list had an easy exploit to get multiple packs, those of us at the end of the list get the shaft.

So, were the Victory and Commendation packs one day only? I didn't play yesterday and mine are nowhere to be seen. I promoted two characters, too.

fuck packs

I'm getting one Premium Spectre Pack and I'm done with saving money. It's not fun to play a game like that.

The operations have been Friday evening through Sunday evening.

So people glitched go get multiple Commendation packs, huh? To think there is someone out there running with a Hurricane X. Jokes on them.

I don't know if that French link says so or not. But they should clarify whether or not you need full or partial extraction to get credit, less they want hundreds of people asking the same question.

Like what? Are you obsessively checking your cash amounts after each match or something? I just hit the store at the end of the play session and see what I can get.
 
Operation Beachhead:

Common objective: 500,000 extractions on Firebase Reactor and Firebase Glacier.
Team objective: Finish an extraction on Firebase Reactor on Gold

http://social.bioware.com/forum/3/topic/348/index/10985018


How nice of them to have a Gold objective a week after people promoted their level 20s, heh.

Not white. Smart.

This might get difficult.

Still no PS3...

Maybe we'll get a full N7 pack some day for free. Maybe...

I like the challenge, but I can't imagine the amount of new players everyone will be kicking next weekend if you need to complete a Gold match.

I thought this was a nice premium spectre pack:

I use the Widow on infiltrator, Revenant on turian soldier and Viper on lots of classes when goofing around in bronze.

I don't see myself using the widow over the viper really. Of course the damage boost on salarian infiltrator is INSANE but it's just too heavy and bulky. I need a side pistol to go along with it and it's even heavier : power and rate of fire is too damn slow.

I really want a Valiant now because I feel the Viper X isn't powerfull enough even if I can land all the 6 shot pretty quick

I carry a tempest X as my side weapon, costs me 3% cooldown. The Viper isn't strong enough for higher difficulties and if I were going to carry a pistol it'd be a carnifex/paladin/arc pistol as my main, not a secondary.

On infiltrator the weight of the widow isn't an issue, no problems with cooldown for stealth or energy drain since they're roughly equivalent to the Widow reload.

EDIT: I just got off of EA support. If you didn't get your pack yet you won't be getting it until they fix the exploit, a fix which has no ETA whatsoever.
 
I have a feeling we'll be hearing about new DLC very, very soon. Can't wait!

In the meantime, if that new challenge is legit, it will at least get me to stop gold farming on Firebase White.

But, man -- doing Gold on those two maps is going to be HARD!

I hope they perma the idiots doing the pack exploits. Still haven't gotten mine yet, was looking forward to it tonight.

Well I do have a paladin now.

At this rate, I only use a pistol with my salarian engie and the paladin weight isn't worth it.

edit - reactor isn't bad on gold.

3 Salarian Engineers and an Asari Adept should do it. :)

Reactor isn't bad but it is dark and a poorly made map imo. Cerberus get stuck in the roof all the time and it has one of the worst hacking locations (big round building) of all the maps

That's my biggest complain with the map. I think I had to up the brightness setting in the game because it was way too dark and I couldn't see shit.

I would say being dark and poorly made makes it pretty bad. My least favourite map. It's just plain bad IMO. Movement, cover, everything. Try reviving motherfuckers on that map with all that cover.

Sorry I meant bad in terms of difficulty. It is easily my least favorite map and one of the reasons I don't ever choose random location

I love reactor, great sight lines for sniping, 2-3 exit routes from each position, etc.

The one thing I really, really don't like about it though is getting hack missions in the central room. That becomes a clusterfuck of epic proportion, even on silver. Use decoy, or use 2 of the players themselves as decoys while a couple stealthers do the hack.
 
wait, so if you didn't already get the victory pack, you won't be getting it until they fix whatever people are doing? Is there a time frame on that?

also, is there a best upgrade path for a Salarian Engineer?

what's the weight compared to the paladin in MP? I had no idea they changed it from SP,
Srt of changes my opinion on it.

Its lighter than the Paladin

but it completes the asari vanguard. beautiful, beautiful headshot machine / handheld eviscerator

Nice. My last premium spectre pack contained Arc Pistol and Hornet upgrades. The Hornet is light enough to carry, but it will take some time to decide if I prefer it to the Tempest X.

I did my first Geth - White - Gold credit run with a decent team. It's almost comical how easy it is. I used more Thermal Clip Packs (4) than Medi-Gel, Survival Packs, and Cobras combined (0+0+2.) Only one person went down the whole map.

Geth are stupid.

i disagree falcon is great to keep phantoms and geth pyro at a safe distance.

Its still decent... after the nerf, its turned into a pure support weapon though. Great for quieting down mobs and controlling most enemies.

The hornet is a lot more powerful than the tempest from what I remember using the two guns in the firing range. I think it's the only SMG that's effective against armor (though I don't recall how the hurricane did versus the armored target.)

I'm starting to think the damage rating on the Arc Pistol is for a fully charged shot, not a basic shot because there is no way the base damage is as good as a Carnifex, even though the comparison slider says it should be.

Still haven't received my Commendation Pack. I promoted two characters Monday at noon EST.

Can I contact EA or Bioware about this? I'm playing on 360.

Won't be going out until the multipack exploit/bug/whatever is patched. No ETA on that.

So I just logged on since Saturday after promoting 2 characters. I was expecting a couple packs.

So what's going on?

All chargeable weapons are listed with damage capability for a fully charged shot.

Wished it was ranked by DPS instead personally.
 
I want a difficulty higher than gold now. as players are getting better weapons and becoming better players themselves, gold is starting to lose it's challenge( only just a bit though!).

Yikes, what a terrible night of matchmaking with randoms. Tonight my experience has shown me never to trust a Human Soldier or Human Vanguard on Gold.

Even Krogan's are more reliable than them -- mostly because Human Vanguard's seem to always be selfish douche-bags that will rage-quit the moment they die and nobody ventures halfway across the map to revive them and Soldier's all seem to be "bad" players or just beginners who think the Soldier is actually a viable class on Gold.
