So what's the awesome build for that?
I assume you go pistol so you can spam all day.
This is just cruel. Can't wait to fight 4 Banshees at the same time. And maybe Banshees with Geths and Cerberus? Lol Geth Gold White.
Simple objectives this weekend. 50k promotes seems rather low too. That means we only need 16667 players to do the Squad goal. Do they combine players from all 3 platforms when they count the total number?

Means 3 players need to promote char in the same lobby?

Subete no aware
No, you have to promote three of your characters.
Given that it was two characters the last time they did this, it's kind of weird.
You're basically giving up half your characters for a gun that you might hate.
Would be actually awesome if those Banshees would start attacking geth and cerberus dudes.
Also, if I get an Eagle IV I'm going to shoot myself with it.
Banshees with Phantoms. Challenge accepted.
vYou forgot the Hurricane. Which is so good I almost hate it. To use the Tempest a Turian Soldier should be in Marksman. The Hurricane excels so much that a TS is better off spamming proximity mines. This will get nerfed if anyone starts nearing level X and whatnot.

The biotic explosions and Claymore(especially when it kills something in 1 hit!) sounds are some of the most satisfying sounds in this game.
Hearing a Missile launcher in the distance feels nice too. Although its laughable to hear it and only see this at the bottom of the screen :
Agree on all 3 counts!
Other great sounds to me are:
Saber ( even though it's not as powerful as I'd like)
Javelin
Deep automatic fire of the Indra
The crack of the Valiant
The warm fuzzies from inside the Bubble
The cough of the GPS
Live Free or Die

The Reapers are targeting our training centers, and your mission is to draw their fire and attention. Put them on the defensive! Buy us time, and the reinforcements in training will soon back you up.
Allied Goal: Promote 50,000 characters.
Squad Goal: Promote 3 characters.
Special Circumstance: Due to the failure of Operation SILENCER, more banshees will spawn with Reaper enemies and might also spawn with other enemies.
Squad Goal Success: Squad members awarded a Commendation Pack.
Allied Goal Success: All players awarded a Victory Pack (high chance of containing a Rare weapon).
Welcome to the next N7 Weekend Operation, Operation SHIELDWALL, beginning this Friday, May 25 at 6:00PM PT until Sunday, May 27 at 5:00PM PT, on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. Please remember to set the “Upload Gameplay Feedback” setting to “On” in the online options to be able to participate in this N7 Operation.
Please note that due to a known issue, PlayStation 3 users will not see the promotion screen but they will be participating in Operation SHIELDWALL and will be rewarded.
Keep up the pressure, troopers. As you can see, N7 efforts to date have been bringing the fight right to the front door of our enemy. Our enemy is fierce, but we’ve got the might of the entire galaxy on our side.
Good luck and see you on the battlefield.

awww yeah. lol
They probably realized that no one bothered to do the Allied Goal when there was no weapons in the special pack. Although they made it easy enough this weekend that we'll get it anyway without needing to promote more than 3.
It's 6/6/6/5/3.
Tech armor
4: extra protection
5: extra power damage (this where you get the bonus over the Asari)
6: reduce power speed penalty
Warp
4: combo detonations
5: expose (more helpful to the team, but this one isn't very important)
6: recharge speed (on the asari I don't take this, but with tech armor, I think you need to take this)
Throw
4: radius
5: combo detonations
6: increase force (it recharges so quickly anyway I don't think taking recharge speed is necessary)
Alliance Training
4: power damage/capacity
5: power damage
You definitely want to take a gun you like that gives you 200% cooldown or close to it. The difference between 200% and 180% is not much with the speed of these powers, though, so don't feel like you have to have 200%. I take my Carni III, which only gives me 172%, but I didn't feel like the cooldowns were too long.

Adept, Vanguard, Engineer. Maybe I'll level up my Infiltrator to 20 (currently 15) so I can keep my Salarian Engineer for Gold farming.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Random chance of Banshees appearing with other enemies is cool. Actually, that would be a neat mechanic to introduce: low chance of a random special from one enemy type appearing in another.

I was entering the reactor room on Firebase euh, whatever (the reactor one from singleplayer) as a teammate shot a rocket from one side to the other. The rocket passed by me and made this really cool whistling sound. :lol
Also, I think I have 5 characters at level 20 already. Nice.
Gold can be really odd sometimes.
A couple of days ago I had trouble clearing random/random with a team that included 2 N7 XXXXs sporting high-level ultra rare weapons. We didn't do bad it's just that it seemed extremely difficult and we died before getting wave 10 money. I was a Drell Adept and working with an Asari we were killing everything yet more enemies just kept coming. These players knew their stuff. That's an easy thing to spot. It was ridiculous and felt like a genuine Platinum difficulty.
Today I play two Silver games with some new(er) players. They average mid 100 N7 ratings and their weapons were all low level Gold or high uncommon. I dominate the two Silver rounds so the host ups it to Gold. Using a Human Claymore Infiltrator we land Geth/Glacier/Gold. I have to solo the end of a few waves, but it seemed infinitely easier than the game I had with a great team.

2 promotions I can so easily. 3 is rougher, I dont want to give up my Salarian Engineer for the time it'd take to relevel.
That would be awesome. Imagine camping GGW when all of a sudden a pair of Banshees comes up from behind everyone. I know I'd laugh my ass off.

Tried Gold for the first time tonight. Wound up in GGW, shockingly.
I'll admit it's a spectacular credit/effort ratio, but I think it's way too grindy for my tastes. Camp in that single room, move only if there's a new objective, lather, rinse, repeat. Didn't help that all my teammates were playing Salarian Infiltrator.

A squad goal that isn't actually a squad goal.
Stasis bubble usually solves the problem. It's good to have an Asari Adept around for that reason.
[CATxPARTY] Missile [Banshee]
They just revealed the rebellion pack.
Seems that the Phoenix were actually ex Cerberus. And they are male quarians too btw

Cool!
Couldn't find one, that's the part I wanted lol
I want them to add a 4th group of enemies in the 3rd pack instead. I don't care if they have to give a shit excuse for it, bring back the Collectors!

This please.
Unfortunately, Banshees get stuck trying to jump over low cover. As long as the team has a high damage output they go down pretty quickly.
I'd bet all my credits it was from a failed grab. You have to get it to fall through the floor. Stasis will do the trick as will certain spots on the map. Also, try to get it to valut over cover in the same direction the grab was supposed to be made.
The new Rebellion stuff sounds great. 4.2 million credits ready to burn.
I'm fairly certain the patch is held up by the idiot update policy on consoles. They've had the Reave fix since day 1.
They try, but they keep jumping into the roof. Their AOE scream can do some damage, but usually the team has enough DPS to deal with it.
Can't they just keep teleporting to get to where everyone is camping anyway?

What if this guy doesn't have charge? Instead of getting up close to your enemies... You get your enemies up close to you with that lash-thing. I dunno.
No Asari Adepts sadly.
