Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
So, to get this right, I was awarded a reserves pack for taking part in the weekend thingo (got an Asari Justicar, goddamnit I want geth), and now the resurgence pack thingo is available for purchase (99,000 creds) to unlock characters/weapons?
I'm not missing anything?

You got the victory pack and the new special pack is the resurgence pack, replacing the premium spectre pack. It guarantees one of the new characters/weapons

Thank you robot.

I wish someone from the gaming press would contact Sony or bioware about this.
It's literally a premium spectre with one guaranteed resurgence rare. Can't decide if it's worth getting those over normal spectres because I don't really want any of those rares but it does help level my silver weapons...

I'm curious if any other game on PSN accomplishes this weekly changing modification to a game that they're doing or trying to do here.
I'd rather have the 39000 credits to go towards another normal spectre pack than have one of my two rares be GUARANTEED to be a piece of shit. You'll also level your silver weapons more slowly like that than buying normal spectres.
OH. I see now.
yeah, I just did this build on Condor. Beasty.

I just love Biotic Charging as Krogan. On long distance, the distorsion of the mass, plus the idea of getting to a target before another dude and smashing it across map is an endless satisfaction. It's so absurd to run and hit in the face enemies with a giant shotgun with a giant space chubby lizard in a shell suit, randomly moaning as it kills stuff brutally
Some of them have an easier time of it though.Any class played properly can solo phantoms on gold.
Really? I Purchased around 5 regular spectres and none of them had any silvers. I'll keep trying I guess

Exactly. Everyone should try it. It feels maybe more amazing than playing a human vanguard
I've gotten loads of silvers in my spectre packs. i nearly have all the silver mods and ive gotten lots of silver gun upgrade.
Also this game has a weird sense of humor. Firxt gold gun i get to X is the kirshock. Also my GPSMG is at VIII. Yet my Carnifex and Widow remain at V and my Claymore at 6.
On the bright side, you don't have to worry about getting kishocks anymore!
it's the most powerful sniper in the game against organics, it just sucks in every other way except reload time.
Also worst glitch, after dying and being revived the camera didn't revert to normal and continued spinning around me, and I had to find my way to the extraction point in an isometric view while having to compensate for the spinning camera disorienting the movement analog stick. I wasn't able to go into cover either, so all I could do was move behind a pillar and hope that nothing killed me. Teammates were probably pissed as hell lol

I think MW3 holds weekly clan stuff.

So... The Talon ? Why did they even bothered put this in the game ? Maybe it's good for Human Spamuard ?
All Double XP week end on all these shooters ?

It's really good against Reapers and most of Cerberus, and it's really quite nice on host. It also works well at mid-range for Geth, given that it's scope offers little magnification and headshots become easier to pull off.
Yeah, it's irritating but totally worth it.

I am also in Kishock haters boat. Had to play off host against Geth and my first kill was on 3 wave lmao. Dont know how to aim that crap.
More like lets make another weapon affected by our shitty servers.
Turn it off quick if you cant find the objective marker. But whoever designed a blue and white hud with hexagons and diamonds in a game with blue diamond objective markers should go back to design school.

Was playing Hydra vs. Geth on Silver. We were on the extraction wave and we were all taken down. Not sure how many medi-gels my teammates had, but I decided not to use mine. Lost 5000 XP (one of us was already dead so full extraction was impossible) but it was probably worth saving the medi-gels.

Open a spectre pack, host left : I couldn't see my golden card.
For the xxx billion time.
BUT
after quitting the lobby
The package content showed up again (as if I was just opening it !)

Is this only an issue for the PS3? Because it never happens to me on the 360. However, even so, I still will not open or buy any packs while in a room lobby. I always wait until I quit a lobby and back at the main screen to open packs. Just incase.

1 medigel vs 5000 exp is a no brainer. There really isn't a good incentive for getting the full extraction anyway, especially on the higher levels. Once I get my credits from round 10 I don't really care what happens as I'm usually playing a level 20 class anyway.
I need this.
favorite class in the game, probably the most viable melee class since they can bring their shields back up if need be.

played a quarian infiltrator sniper build on what I thought was silver, the leader changed it to gold at the last minute. three infiltrator snipers and a salarian engineer made for bad times
also, how should I go about running adepts? I don't have either of the asari adepts

It's amazing the quality of the effects on PC vs. the consoles. Everything looks so much better (obviously).

Are the upgrades really noticeable from the latest patch? Or are they just to entice players to use those upgraded weapons from time to time?

Finally got my Geth engineer, tried a fbw farm with it. Was going fine, but as happens far too often, somebody decides to be awesome and go hang out in the back of the alleyway, which inevitably leads to them getting overrun, and pulling a bunch of pyros, hunters and primes in behind the rest of us and making us wipe. I see people do that so often, and I have never, ever seen it cause a round to go faster or better. Can someone explain this to me? At best people doing that has always slowed rounds down.
It seems to be the players that are impatient or stubborn when the first desk is taken by 2-3 people already and he would be forced to the farther desk -- heaven forbid!! I actually prefer that desk because it's safer and you don't get shot from 2 angles.
I've had Salarian Engineer's sit in the far outside corner and put their decoy there!! And then we get flanked and overrun on Wave 2.
I do it most FBW runs, can't really say why though. I guess i find it easier to snipe from there, it's a long, straight line of sight and away from the mayhem of the main room. I've never caused a wipe because of it though. I don't see why it would slow things down though, a good sniper can wreck shit up from that position. Though the amount of good snipers i've seen is very low...

Could be. The funny thing is it's just about always an infiltrator; when I play as an infiltrator I come inside but don't bother taking cover, since I'm almost always cloaked and can easily just sidestep out of enemy line of sight when things get rough. Works like a charm. It's so common though that I feel like it's an accepted strategy, and I just can't figure out why.
The thing is though, that you can wreck shit just as well (better) from inside while actually helping the rest of the team with the spawns that are making their way towards them from the upstairs area. The reason staying out there slows things down falls on the other side of the coin, because you have enemies taking cover at the bottom of the latter to avoid your shots instead of being funneled into the kill room. This is especially noticeable on 'kill the targets' objectives; so you're out there disrupting the flow of enemies that aren't a danger to the rest of the team, and contributing none of your damage to the enemies that are. And that's the version where you don't get overwhelmed and fuck everyone else over (good on you for not causing that at least). That's been my experience in any case.

Cloak, hunter mode, proxy mine, network AI.
Don't use shield/melee. But be carefull : it's really weak and even weaker with hunter mode. You might want to consider trading proxy mine for full shield protection
Somebody posted this earlier, but here's a video with proof that Rage isn't working properly on the Krogan Vanguard. Melee bonus (and apparently damage reduction as well) aren't applied, unlike the other two krogans. They all have the same base krogan melee damage in the game, so it's likely an issue with the power. :/

TBH the bloodrage effect really hurts my eyes on bright maps like Ghost, so not too big an issue for me hahaha

The talon is godlike
If you use Stasis, you want the Talon (if you don't have a carnifex)
