I hate to ask, but does anybody have a spare online pass for the PS3 version? A friend of mine just picked up the game used and wants to play the multiplayer.

Started using the Javelin... I like sniping again! It reminds me of my Widow sniping days. Very fun and I needed to use up some sniper rails. I've almost run out of shotgun and assault rifle amps. I might be able to crack 10m before the DLC hits.

A while back I was convinced that the Reegar had a much higher skill cap than most weapons. Spray-and-pray works, but well timed pulsing kills even faster. Also, Battlemaster was my slowest solo character because I always played him the same way I would off-host. Now I know better.

This Krogan clears Glacier solo in 16:59.

Wee, bronze solo with Batarian Sentinel on Firebase Condor against Geth. Crusader for life.

Fingers crossed for DLC this week.
 
If the new multiplayer dlc is indeed the Collectors, I would bet it releases alongside the next sp dlc (since they may involved in the Omega dlc). Just speculating though.

Dear N7 Valiant,

I'm writing to you today to apologize for neglecting you these past few months. You see, I like to use my powers, and the way your weight affected my cooldown rates was a real turn off. Don't get me wrong, I like a woman with curves, but if I can't use my powers with reckless abandon, I feel impotent.

Words can't express how wrong I have been all this time. Your steady aim and large clip are truly a wonder to behold, and the damage you deal complements the kits with powers that are underwhelming. Now that I've finally gotten Mantis out of my life, I foresee a long and fruitful relationship.

Here's looking at you, kid.

Sincerely,

nel

Huh..Bought a Premium Spectre and Argus and Argus II just popped up on PS3 Multiplayer.

Argus isn't an Ultra Rare N7 (It's a gold). So it'll pop up once or twice per Premium Spectre.
 
The Argus? They sneakin' in new weapons now?

It's a Rare, right?
Lol whaaaaaaat? No announcement? I haven't seen balance changes posted yet either. I would like to see some crazy thing like having Marksman be able to use a secondary power.

glad to be back with my ME3 buddies, it's been awhile since I could post here

Welcome back, Major Williams!

They'll probably list the Argus along with the balance changes today. Was never really impressed with it in single player though, just seemed like a lesser Vindicator... Maybe they'll eventually buff it's damage or something to justify it's greater weight, and inferior range, accuracy, and firing rate.

Hm... should i waste my 2 million credits for the Argus and the low chance of rare gear until it reachs rank X, or keep saving for the next (announce it already Bioware) DLC?

Edit :

There is more MP DLC coming, but not for a while yet

Ah dammit.

I say keep banking with the occasional PSP here 'n there. The Argus ain't worth it, even though they did apparently give it a small buff coming from single player.

You won't need to spend 2 million on it most likely, but save it anyway.

I got it in 6 PSPs because all I need is my URs and it's actually pretty good. Just played 3 gold games with a Destroyer and an Argus X and ended up getting 150k and getting more than half my teams points each game.

It shoots pretty slow but with the RoF on Devastator mode it's bearable.
 
So apparently the PS3 servers can't handle the addition of a new gun because I've spent 20 minutes waiting for random people to join my bronze game, got bored and searched for other people's public games, one of which I immediately lost the connection to and the other where half of the people were completely invisible to me and didn't even show up on the score board even though I was seeing enemies die left and right before also losing my connection to that one.

Fucking ME3 Multiplayer

As a heads up, we are looking at balance changes to the Piranha and Carnifex for next week. We feel the Piranha is still too dominant of a weapon even with the recent balance changes and needs further adjustment. Although we haven't touched the Carnifex since ship, we feel it is obscuring too many other weapons in its class and needs some small adjustments as well.
Nice.

I stopped using the Piranha a while ago. The Carnifex change doesn't surprise me. I also stopped using that in favor of the Talon.

Bought regular and premium Spectre packs until my Argus got to X. No Typhoon upgrades. Argus is basically the same as it was in single player. Seems like a Vindicator/Harrier with a lot more ammo. Nice for a rare weapon I guess.

Piranha is a pretty good weapon, especially with a Destroyer or Geth Infiltrator. Surprise me that it took them this long to do something. Sad to hear Carnifex will get hit too, but i admit i dont even think of using the others.

Piranha with a Turian Soldier and Marksman and spec for Rate of Fire and Stability. So epic.

it does like 20 extra points of damage at rank 1 as opposed to the sp version.

don't know if this guy's math was right, but apparently it's damage increases 14 points each rank.

Incisor is so fucking shit. I have no idea how to use it effectively. Shit damage, awful kickback.
 
Same here. Although I haven't tried her yet. Looking at her HP and barrier, she seems like a glass jaw.

It wasn't bad, but I quickly figured using a shotgun with her wasn't the best strategy. Statis + Carnifex seems like a good thing, and Charge + Heavy Melee when things get hairy.

I'll keep that in mind, if I ever try her. For now, I'll stick with my trusted Kroguard. =)

Carnifex X is the pistol of choice. Best all around weapon that you can reasonably get to. Unless you have invested enough to get your ultra rare game up and scoop a high level Talon or have a class that is specifically built around a weapon like an Acolyte or Paladin, there isn't a reason to use anything else.

I absolutely understand why they feel the way they do.

Dont forget the Phalanx, its a good pistol too

The fact that the next DLC is taking so long to be announced or released can only mean one thing... it's not going to be a simple "2-3 new maps, a few new guns and a couple of new playable races" DLC.

More hope that they are adding the Collectors or even a new mode!

Right? :(

lol it's gonna be paid DLC.

Cuz EA right? AMIRITE?
 
Regarding pistols, the acolyte is one amazing piece to carry into battle. We did a gold run, no rockets only acolytes & powers with infiltrators and finished in 12-13 minutes. Totally awesome weapon.

Have I mentioned that the Javelin has gone from one of my most hated URs to one of my favorites?

The Phalanx is probably one of the best uncommon guns in the game.

Somehow I'm not surprised it's the only uncommon weapon I don't have.

Damn. I think I may need a help from a fellow Gaffer, as I don't know anyone with a PS3 playing the MP.

In case someone's interested in teaming up, my PSN ID is Kraft.

Krogan/Geth/Turian & bronze/silver would be preferable.

Got my Argus X, used it once on the N7 Destroyer on Gold then threw it in the trash bin. It's a terrible assault rifle.

wow, I think I'm the only person that likes it.

Maybe it's because it's a new weapon and I'm bored of everything else.

I sent you an invite.

I don't like playing Bronze/Silver though so unless we absolutely have to I'd rather play Gold.

Well, I've played Gold very rarily, so there's no guarantee of success, but I guess I'm willing to try. Which race would you prefer? Asari is out of the question, as my Adept class is currently at level 1, and I don't have much experience on using Quarian, Salarian or Vorcha. EDIT: Nor Drell.

Love your username by the way. =D

I'm also on PS3 and I'm almost always on bronze since I think I'm terrible at this game. I'll also send you a friend request next time I'm on.

doesn't really matter to me. I've solo'd Gold with almost every character. Geth would be easiest but if you feel more comfortable with Turian/Krogan I'll use them as well.

and thanks.
 
Unlocked the Fury! Gave it a quick whirl before heading off (and after telling Tsukumo I was heading out, sorry about that, but I bought my pack after I left the lobby :lol). It's cool, but I'm not really sure yet what weapons to use with it, nor am I really sure how Annihilation Field works.

With AF get close to enemies and when the field jumps onto the you can hit them with your power, I forget if it is warp or throw, and it causes a biotic explosion. I love the Fury so much, such a fun class. I used a Pirana with it for a while but since they nerfed it I have been going with pistols so I have the 200% reload speed.

ím down, i will add you when im back home this friday. i can play any race, but Krogan sounds fun. my Kroguard with Reegar X is basically invincible on Silver so a win is almost guaranteed, unless im half asleep or something lol.
