Did you ever uncheck the box in the settings that uploads feedback to EA?
If no, you should have received a "commendation pack" in the store last week. They usually come out on Tuesdays or Wednesdays following the operation.

I think these are also the most fun too. This operation isn't a surprise since the DLC but hopefully the next one does stuff like a Genophage theme with Krogan and Salarians, or Geth and Quarians, or any other combinations.. Limiting races, or even classes, will keep things interesting for these events.
They won't.
Haha so that's how those sneaky bastards do it. Ohhh EA. Still not going to let them scan my data any more than they probably already do with Origin.
It's all luck, you'll at least get a card that isn't capped unless you have them all capped so hey...free stuff! I remember when the batarians got added and it gave me a card for the one class I already had unlocked.

yeah, another destroyer or fury.....
That's what I was referring to. I already had the Justicar, Kroguard, and Gethfiltrator, and the event pack gave me a Batarian Soldier. I was pretty elated.
Paranoid much? What do you think they will send as ME3 data? "Oh no, EA now knows that i won a Gold match against Reapers with just 1 player alive. Fuck that."?
You're going to miss out on a chance for a Valiant or Hurricane, the best sniper rifle(now that Krysae sucks) and SMG in the game, because of some kind of incomprehensible fear that EA will learn something you dont want them to know about your ME3 multiplayer games?
Help me here, because i'm confused. Or do you think they're going to scan your porn videos or something?

If there's one thing I love about special circumstances like this extended extraction time and having Banshees in with different enemy factions, it's hearing people's reaction on PS3 who have no idea about operations. Which by the way they should do the Banshee thing more often with other enemy units during operation weekends. I want Phantoms or Geth Primes in every match regardless of the difficulty level.
:/ Already unlocked all the Earth characters' appearance options. They should throw in an N7 Weapon or Collector Rifle card for those that already have them maxed out.
Speakin' of N7 Weapons, when are we going to see the Valkyrie in multiplayer? It's not that amazing of an AR, but it's nice to have a complete set, y'know?

There's no reason for them to basically force data scanning. They could easily program it so the game recognizes when you clear the objective. Doing it the current way is shady as fuck, and no I'm not going to sell myself out for a random item box. I've eased up enough just by getting this game on PC since it requires Origin.
PS3 is included in all events now
Fine, whatever. Keep thinking EA wanna steal your info with shady scans while i get free items and a chance for awesome weapons with 0 repercussions on my side. Your lost.
Seriously, it's a video game. What kind of data do you think activating that option send other than how a match ends or what kind of race or class(weapon?) you're using? They're not even aware that there could be a hacker or someone exploiting a glitch in your game unless you warn them yourself by email. Although i suppose they're still able to find some exploiters or hackers without our help.

What will I get in my pack if I've already maxed out all the characters?
I'm hoping a lvl 4 consumable.

The game marks only the players in the area, not extracted players it marks them like they died post game.
Soldier, Engineer, Infiltrator.
fuck you
Ahh. Yeah, the Engineer's a lot of fun. I, like you, got the Vanguard, Sentinel and Adept first.
But I really, really like the Adept, don't you?
Vanguard is my favorite class so far
I do, it's funny blowing shit up, but I don't put anything into shields lol so she is squishy
If you set Annihilation Field to drain on rank 6 she doesn't squish nearly as much
getting on now bro
At least YOU'RE getting ultra-rares. My list of ultra-rares still havent move since that day i posted it here.

I have zero Earth characters. Hope my teammates pick up the slack.
Honestly, I don't use any stability mods. I've gotten so good with the gun I don't need them, so I just go for larger clip and more damage. These days I just compensate for the recoil and that seems to work pretty well. I generally get 20+ headshots a game (though it's a little tougher on reapers). It's a lot harder to use on Gold since my Saber is only at level 2, but I think at higher levels it'll be just as deadly as it is on Bronze and Silver.
I realized last night that the main reason I don't like Gold (and Platinum) is that I like to rove around and shoot stuff. Being stuck in one place or being in a situation where one or two hits kills you just isn't fun to me. I wish they would find another way to adjust the difficulty without making the enemies more powerful in that way. This is why I generally play Silver or Bronze since it's easier to roll around the map and cap things. It's just too boring otherwise.

Every time I open a new PSP, I think to myself, "Maybe this time, things will be different."
I've got a fuck tonne of IV ammo and equipment. :/
So I face a conundrum. I can probably average about 2 matches a night, that's it. I feel I comfortable with Silver, but not really that great. If I go up to gold (not that often), I feel like I'm shit.
I'd like to be earning more monies, so I can actually unlock stuff, so I'd like to go up to gold but I don't really have time to practice and get better.
What's the best character config I can go with to get up to par for Gold as quickly as possible?

Finally got Revenant. It sucks... just like the rest of assault rifles (except maybe Harrier but that thing sounds... well, not good).
Also, made this kinda tactical Quarian (male) Infiltrator. Cloak->Scan target->shoot.
11 second cloak with one power use while invisible. Not sure if i should take Arc grenades or Fitness. Arc Grenades are so good... Also, even with Fitness i cannot do much if i'm shot, i need to avoid being shot in the first place...

Salarian Engineer is pretty good. You can even put decoys through walls so you cant get hit and you can even position them ontop of the metal crates to attract alot of enemies for the objective. Weapon of choice would be a Phaeston since im assuming playing as support you would be using energy drain to kill the infantry and draining shields of the bosses and incinerating them for the greatest damage output in this class.
Another good class for Gold is Human Sentinel.
Warp-Throw-Warp-Throw-Warp-Throw...
Spec for expose and piercing for Warp, biotic detonations for both. Keep weapons loadout as light as you can, 200% bonus recharge speed is must.
Gained 125k+ score on Gold by spamming Warp-Throw... Biotic explosions are damn good.
I think you're actually more likely to die by not roaming around the map on gold/platinum than you are on bronze and silver due to the way spawns work. Unfortunately most people in pubs don't realize that and chill at one part of the map always, which may work but is not the most effective and fast way to clear a map.

has anyone noticed more glitches in the game today? I hadn't had a vanguard glitch for the first month or so I've been playing this, and yet today I got stuck with the floating vanguard glitch in 2 out of the 3 games I played.
I just got a glitch where I couldn't see any enemies, so I just followed a friend and sat down supply pylons and chucked nades all match. I got 3rd!
I generally think this is true, but if you're out there roaming it's almost a sure way to get mobbed and at the gold level you're looking at maybe one or two hits before you're dead. Maybe camping is not the most effective way to do it, but generally people live longer. I've been in games where players try to roam around and they die constantly. Cover helps, but popping out to get a shot in is almost always gonna result in getting shot. I always feel like I can't do anything at that level because my characters are generally made of paper.
Ultimately, I'm simply comfortable with Bronze and Silver because I can feel like I'm doing something.

Ok so how am I supposed to use the Paladin? I've tried a few matches with him and I feel like he's either not on the level of the other N7 characters or I'm not using him right.

Most likely you work with the engies , use your Ice blast first then use your hard melee with fire damage then soft melee, thats your combo, you help the engies doing tech bursts too.
Dont play defensive its a support class, spam the Ice blast, dont use incinerate, play in the middle.
Salarian Infiltrator.
Simply Cloak > Energy Drain > Shoot & repeat.
Max out damage output and cloak duration and you'll be a killing machine and a walking medic for your team mates.
You should only need to equip a sniper rifle and if you have any of the following sniper rifles then you're all set.
- Valiant
- Widow
- Black Widow
Any other single shot sniper rifle would suffice too.
Or skip energy drain and max out the superior proximity mines. I personally prefer shotguns to snipers but both work fine. Cloak, mine, shoot, repeat. I prefer NOT to have bonus power when cloaked as the cooldown will get misplaced easily.
