Collector SMG IX
[EDIT] - * Sai skims the weapons list for the Saber.
...
;_;
Good times.
I tried going back to the two Human Infiltrators yesterday. Took me a minute to get used to the Valiant again, but I was doing a good job of keeping everything but Atluses off of the rest of my team. I tried the Female with the Crusader and Suppressor and was surprised by how well she was holding up.

Remember when everbody used Infiltrators? And they all had Mantis 'n Widows 'n Valiants 'n stuff? And they'd all congregate at the same sniping spots, and that one off-host guy would poke his head out too much, and cause everybody to get jacked up by an Atlus Missile?

Why is the Hurricane most used? I dont think I have ever used it but I have never seen anyone say it is great or anything.
It shoots very fast, weights nothing and is pretty powerful for a SMG. Put a stability mod on it and its great for a lot of classes.

I have a Hurricane IX, I guess I will have to try it some time. Thanks for the reply.
Hurricane IX? Definitely give it a try, don't sleep on it. If you use AP ammo (or even the armor-piercing weapon mod if you don't want to use AP ammo), it just shreds armor. I have it at V and I think it's a fantastic gun.
Additionally, it's also good for characters that are a bit weaker at boss killing such as the N7 Fury.
Put on the armor piercing barrel and it shreds bosses
The headshot damage on it is equal to the Mattock.

Scorpion X
So much yellow in my Ultra Rare manifest now.
I only have 2 maxed URs... and they are the Crusader and Hurricane, and both of them got maxed when they were part of the weekend operations. =/
At least the Saber and Valiant are almost there. I just wish i would get a Lancer already. Or a Harrier better than rank II.
I've been wondering about this for a while: why isn't there a challenge for Nightshade Blades when there is one for Poison Strike? NB works similarly to Ballistic Blades so it shouldn't be hard to keep track of the points. Or am I just blind? Edit: Cain Trip Mines too.
On another note, I need a way to somehow get 10 promotions faster.

Darn my OCD, can't leave that challenge unfinished when I am this close.
Eagle IX
:3
[EDIT] - Oh, man. Once I get that last upgrade for the Eagle, I'll have all the former promotional weapons maxed!
See? It's good. Be happy!
This is a campaign-related inquiry, but I figured I'd get a better response from an active community than from the OT.
I have't played ME3 yet. Largely spoiler-free. Apparently the ending isn't so great? Oh well.
I have the Australian collectors editions of ME1 and ME2 for 360. I would like to get the collector's edition of ME3 because I hate myself.
However, the Australian CE of ME3 on 360 is largely unobtainable. Fortunately, there are plenty of international factory-sealed versions available on eBay.
With an international copy, will I be able to:
a) transfer my character save
b) use the DLC codes for the CE content on my Australian PAL 360

I wish there was some way to modify the music files in this game on the PC version, i'd love to have the Therum Battle theme from ME1 during those objective waves, its sooo good!

id have the music on the title screen where the meteors are falling to earth every time its the end of a round, i am alone and am carrying the damn team by myself .
Principate
Saint Titanfall
Collector Fever for hacking & escort objectives during matches against the Collector faction—portions of The Attack for priority targets and/or extraction... So, you can't change the music? Is it a server-side thing?
Just a Wraith V this morning... I dunno, I thought I was going at a pretty good pace before, but now I don't think I'll be able to keep this up long enough to max the rest of my manifest. >_<
If I could just finish off the Eagle, Particle Rifle, and Collector SMG... And maybe get the Venom, and Punisher to V at least, I think I'll be mostly satisfied.
[EDIT] - Sorry for not replying to your message on Live, Chocobro. I was in the middle of babysitting some randoms and forgot all about it. Spitfire wouldn't be so bad if it was more accurate and/or didn't shoot peas.

7 more promotions. I think I'm going to put this game to rest after I get BotB banner and at least one of every UR. Not sure if I want to put an extra 600hrs to get to my manifest close to max.
Is there a reason why it takes forever to find people when I make a bronze lobby? :

Indra IX
From one Reserve Pack, out of approximately 3 million credits worth of the 99k Packs... Lol
Almost forgot how fun the Paladin is. Think I'll re-spec 'im though; his melee doesn't deal quite as much damage as I used to think it did, based on the Class Builder. I'd often use it to prime Fire/Cryo Explosions, but lately I find myself doing better by going back 'n forth between Snap Freeze & Energy Drain/Incinerate. Only time I recall using his melee was to get a few Phantoms and Dragoons off of me—got me sync'd one time.
I remember being able to stand toe to toe with an Atlus and just pile on a chain of melees and Fire/Cryo Explosions to stun it. Doesn't work out so well anymore since they increased the rate the Atlus goes for sync kills.

"..you're doin' gooood..."
Lash doesn't trigger explosions on armored enemies as far as I know. But it works just fine if you use Lash then follow it by a Biotic Charge or Warp on unarmored targets for example.
Warp --> Cluster Grenade
Slasher is amazing against Cerberus. Everything except Dragoons and Atluses can be CC'd by Lash and killed with the following biotic detonation from Warp. Phantoms die in a Acolyte -> Lash -> Warp and Dragoons die in Warp -> Grenade. With proper ammo box cycling you can take down Atluses with ease as well.

It's so annoying that I constantly get kicked out of Gold and Platinum lobbies for being new to the game, I mean I'm not new as in I'm trying to play them with level 1 characters but new as I'm rolling with a level 15 human vanguard with shit for gear since I can't get enough credits because I'm not able to play the higher difficulties.
Honestly, I don't think a L15 Vanguard is going to quite cut it on Gold/Platinum unless you are using good gear.
Sai, aren't you supposed to be resting up? You missed some interesting games after you left! Short rundown:
Game 1: I didn't have enough time to equip some gear because I was messaging you on XBL. There was a missile glitcher on Gold but he stopped midway (I mean really? lol). Weird thing was he didn't have a charging weapon with his Striker AR, so I assume there's some new way to glitch.
Game 2: The team was a DAI (me), Krolord (your friend), Talon, and Krogan Sentinel; played against the Geth and luckily we got (Hazard) Glacier. It was just non-stop action, everything was just dying so fast too. Pretty fast round too, 16:18.
EDIT: Tried a Gold pug game with the DAI and some guy left in a FBWhite/Geth/Gold game so the remaining trio had to finish wave 7-10 (which we did). That was some awesome teamwork.

Whoops sorry, I was thinking of the wrong character Human Vanguard at level 15 is definitely not up to the task. Sorry I've been using my level 20 Project Phoenix Vanguard but it has really bad gear!
What exactly are you using? The starter weapons? Might want to stick to the lower difficulties first; would be beneficial to get your N7 level up a bit too. If you are playing on the 360 it would be nice to have a NovaGuard detonating stuff while I'm playing the N7 Paladin.
You have a link to your manifest?
A Phoenix Vanguard shouldn't be too much of a burden on Gold, at least. But I'm also curious about what kind of weapons you're using. Toss us a link to your manifest if you can.
You should find a group of people to romp around with on Gold, and compliment your character(s).

i got a Crusader V last night after about 700K credits. Pointless.
Im taking my level 1 Krogan Warlord Sentinel into gold later. i think i can take them all. Will just put a cylonic 4 on, Melee level 3 consumables and juggernaught shield with a Reeger X and melee mods.
Im going to spec him without the electrical hammer (Biotic Hammer only) then max everything else out. should be a fun class.

No.
... Yes. ._.
Saber X w/ Thermal Scope and Extended Barrel, Armor-Piercing Rounds IV, Targeting VI III, and a Cyclonic Modulator III.
Only found myself using consumables to cover for the people who joined in the middle of the game(and eventually left... lol); 5 Medi-Gel and 1 Missile. Took about a half an hour to complete though. :/
Lots of people seem to hate Geth now. Between the Primes, Hunters, double-shottin' Rocket Troopers, and Bombers, it's easy to get stun-locked if you allow yourself to get stuck in-between 'em. But that's why I like rompin' around with the Ghost on Hydra so much: lots of room, and easy to set up kill zones/shootin' galleries.

javelin iv.
the krogan warlord sucks on gold and above. a total sync kill magnet. fun on silver but not my cup of tea.

The Warlord is unbeatable against Gold Geths though, since there is no sync kills. Everything that isnt a Geth Prime dies in one hit of a Biotic Hammer(2 charges help), you have high health regen and damage reduction, so unless you're surrounded by 3 Primes and a bunch of minions, nothing can kill you.
If just based on the description, it seems that way, which is a bit misleading. If it was just solo extraction then you could've just got a few friends to help you get up to extraction and they can leave so you're all alone to extract. That would've defeated the purpose of the challenge, you aren't really a lone wolf then

yeah its easier with Geth, however it doesn't suit my plays style as I need speed and to be able to dodge around. I saw a huge advantage so playing along side a Geth juggernaut, while he melee you can go nuts with the hammer.

paladin 3.pointless.
also I think the n7 destroyer really isn't a good class since the needs. I never seem to top the leader boards when I use him.

Who needs speed and dodge when you (almost) can't die and kill (almost) everything in one hit? :lol Beside the Warlord runs as fast as the other classes, and kills enemies faster than most classes, so im not sure what is this "speed" you're talking about. Maybe you just don't like classes that focus on melee combat?

I play better with classes with a dodge and a roll. also he can't take cover. got a paladin 3 last night. stop giving me pointless URs!
I still don't like the destroyer. if I use a demolished, Geth trooper, AIU or Geth engineer I usually come out on top

Those two are my go-to classes as well. I wish I had Geth Trooper. =/
