Friday? So we'll get the results DAYS after we got our packs? Not like we'll care at this point.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Firebase Dagger made it pretty easy. The openness made for easy sniping with the Crusader, and the bottlenecking screwed over the brutes. Plus the map is so large you can pretty much do laps to vantage points, and on bronze you never have to deal with too many big things at once.
Objectives were the only thing I was really worried about. I ended up getting an escort at wave three, assassination at six, and device disable at ten. Escort was a breeze as the N7 Destroyer is a tank and the enemy types are fodder. Assassination was manageable as it was no different to a normal round. I thought I was totally screwed with wave ten device, but the bottlenecking and size of the map kept the brutes and banshees at a safe distance.
I don't think I could do geth. I solo'd Geth to wave seven with my Batarian Sentinel, but I used four health packs to get there. Geth cut me through me like butter.
I don't recall when packs were awarded last, but the Bioware Blog definitely posted the results for the last three operations on the following Friday. I dunno. I just want more DLC hints.

Is Dagger the one in a canyon with an ugly pixelated moon in the background?
I did solo bronze Geth over there, also with a Destroyer. It's fairly easy with a Piranha shotgun for close range and Saber assault rifle for long range. I only died during the extraction wave on the bottom floor as i got surrounded by Primes, Pyros and rocket launchers. There is little spots to hide over there.
Packs should be awarded later today i think.

Yeah, it's the map with the big parabolic antennas. Best thing about it is the size. For bronze, there's never enough enemies to fill the map and make it unsafe. You've always always got a place you can bunker down to pick off a few dudes.

I like Firebase Jade, as it's a big round open area, where there aren't many places to get stuck on, or get ambushed. The PS3 headset has also helped on that regard, as I can hear where the enemy is coming from. Which wasn't possible with the TV speakers.
My first unsuccesful run with Geth went fine, until I got the objective with the four devices in round 10. Managed to get past that, but ended up dying when I fought against Prime, Hunters and Pyros on the stairs, and didn't get my aim to one of them in time to charge up my shields. Which is why I'd really prefer if you could re-map charge to L2/R2.
The second run went better, as I stayed clear of fighting on anything but flat ground, avoided confrontations with a group of stronger enemies (especially when Hunters were involved), and there were no objectives during the last couple of rounds. Felt great to survive the match without any consumables.

I like Firebase Jade too, though the small size makes it pretty tough I think. Easy to get cramped.

Operation Failed
From: Admiral Steven Hackett
Re: Operation VIGILANCE
Confidentiality classification: XB-PRIME
Distribution: N7 Forces Only
Soldiers of the Milky Way
As mentioned in previous communications, weve seen a number of reports describing unusual enemy activity. Operation VIGILANCE was prompted by the latest in a string of unexpected attacks. I regret to inform you that the operation has failed.
Before our drones could complete their assignments, our troops were overrun by enemy forces. It is clear they knew what we were trying to do. Our troops were forced to salvage what they could before withdrawing from the battlefield. While we will put the salvaged materials to good use, weve learned very little about the initial attacks or how we might counter similar attacks in the future.
We will continue our investigation. I know that comes as little consolation to those involved. To you, all I can say is that you must stay alert and rely on your fellow soldiers. The Reapers have a plan. We must be ready for anything.

Data mining for DLC confirmation...
Enhance...
DLC confirmed.
Mindlog DLC status update. 7.25 milllion credits and climbing. Apparently Gold has become laughably easy and Platinum is the fastest 130k credits around. Quit playing Happy Wars and we'd probably be in double digit millions. Data Mining out.
You get 3% everywhere everytime you win a game, difficulty doesn't matter. So just grind bronze games i suppose since they last like 10-12 mins with a random group.
You also lose some % every few hours you aren't playing... i lose at least 3% when i come back from work at 4pm and haven't played since 11pm the day before.
Not like i really care these days when Galactic Readiness is so unnecessary.
Got 20 million credits waiting for the next DLC.
Or your team just sucked, ha. But yes, geth infil + piranha is incredibly easy/powerful.
I figure at least 15, but not surprised by 20. Nice.
7.7 here! It's a pleasant surprise when just 1 other great pub player can cut clear times to 14 flat. I probably would have done better without tonight's Happy increasingly erroneously named Hours.
Hey, hey... I escorted plenty of drones—most of the time by myself even!
Anyways, I called it. I'm surprised Bioware is even still pushing these events, considering the way the population has dropped. Gotta have incentive, like the capacity upgrades, or new (officially announced)DLC around the horizon.

They didn't suck, i just never gave them the chance to kill anything. Mwahahaha.
Wow your life must feel so empty

WTF?! Not so empty, I'd want to lash out on someone without a reason.
It's ok. We're here for you.

It sucks so much that we failed. I was really hoping they would increase the escort rate but I hardly got an escot missions this weekend. Oh well hopefully we get DLC soon.

I don't know what's your problem, but whatever it is, I'm ignoring it from now on.
We were so close too... if only they had put 1 escort objective per game, we would have easily won this.
Also, i completely forgot how it was to only have 2 medigels... It must suck a lot, and its much harder to get these days than back in march/april.
You sound mad, what he said was nothing bad or insulting. :lol
There there. He didn't know, he just woke up in a bad mood.
It's nothing, he still likes you. Come cry on the big krogan shoulder, everything's all right.
Shepard.
Don't worry, while you were on my shoulder, i did a surprise headbutt on you and shot you with my Claymore while you were on the ground in pain. In pure krogan fashion ~♪.
That's more like it

Haha! I guess I took it too seriously.
Wait? It's official? Do you have the full quote/source? What's a Cerberus Dragoon and Geth Bomber?
Volus? Environmental hazards?
Whaat?

Eh, sounds like someone recompiled the hints that guy on the BioBoards was dropping into an announcement.
Will wait for proper leak.

I dunno why would he post something like that if its just a fanmade announcement?
Althought the lack of a link doesn't help. :lol
