N7 Eagle.

Got my Commendation Pack on 360, and it had an Eagle II. fml
That's rough.

I opened mine, but mentioning what I got would make me feel bad :(
Valiant II
I have some cash saved up, but PSPs are just throwing character cards and thermal clips at me. At best I get 1 semi-useful amp.
 
Oh yea, and the victory pack netted me nothing. Equipment packs and an amp. Fuck you, Bioware.

I thought the victory pack was supposed to be just an equipment pack. The commendation pack is the one with the actual stuff.
 
Still no commendation pack on PC... i wanted to see if i got a Hurricane II or something else before going to bed. :(
 
Really? That's just sad. Why would anyone want to work for an equipment pack?

This is my first one too. That's stupid as hell.

At least give people a Spectre pack.

Not to say that I didn't enjoy fucking up those crazy ninja bitches, but come on. I must have killed like 250+ in contribution.
 
Three commendation packs so far, every one containing an Eagle.

It's difficult to describe just how bad this weapon is. Basically, take a weapon and give it the worst DPS of any weapon in the game. Then, give it the same recoil as the Revenant. Give it no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Put it in Commendation Packs, obtainable once every two weeks and the only way to get the Valiant.

Laugh.
 
My copy on PC, purchased through Origin, has decided I don't have an online pass. N7 700+ ranking, but no online pass, curious. Good job Bioware.

Get on live support chat and they tell me to try again later, their tool for looking up user accounts isn't working.
 
I know that, I'm just saying why make one of the rewards an equipment pack? Seems pretty questionable.

Maybe because it is harder to send cookies and milk digitally? WTF do you want, lol? I think the "get this pack just for showing up" rewards are worth infinitely more than they cost to earn. ;)
 
Could have been much much worse. Could be like one of the people that got the Victory pack first and couldn't play for the rest of the day and most of today. It's a free pack with equipment for the community really, I'm not complaining. If the completing gold challenge was just equipment, yeah I would have been annoyed.
 
There is a steadily growing post on the official forums about the online pass problem. Long story short, some part of their online account system is royally fucked up at the moment, to the point where customer support can't even look up your account to find problems, much less fix them.

One step forward, two steps back.
 
Should I use Barrier or Carnage with the Battlemaster? Using a spikethrower now and it's pretty decent.
 
Eh, I just want more chances at stuff
I agree with this. The move to the biweekly format seems a little lazy. I've been spoiled by stuff like Halo: Reach which has both weekly and daily challenges, and their backend doesn't completely shit the bed every other time they try something. Opening the Victory pack early today had the nasty side effect of disabling multiplayer entirely for some folks on the BSN.
 
Apparently, what caused my black screen of death is a corrupted association file of my profile to the game. And there's no fix.

So pretty much, my ME3 discs are both useless. No patch in sight, this issue has been persisting since launch 2 months ago. Thanks a lot, BioWare. It was fun while it lasted, I guess. Won't even be able to play the SP DLC either. So yeah, fuck you BioWare.

Damn, that sucks. Sorry to hear that sir.
 
what the fuck.

it asks for online pass but I have already redeemed it. Does anyone have the same problem?
 
i got the hurricane. what is so bad about the eagle?

It's a pistol that behaves like an SMG with all the negatives and none of the benefits. Weakest gun in the game, massive recoil, can't hold as much ammo as an SMG, impossible to level up. Why is this gun a promotional unlock?
 
I like Eagle. It's great for finishing the enemies if Claymore wasn't enough.
The time it takes to switch weapons and back doesn't eclipse a reload or heavy melee imo

i wouldn't wish an eagle on my greatest foe
 
There are some people who think the Eagle isn't that bad. They think that if they can overcome the inherent disadvantages of the weapon, it will pay off. After all, those disadvantages must be balanced by corresponding advantages, right?

Wrong; these people are lying to themselves. It isn't a matter of opinion: the Eagle is factually the worst weapon in the game, and by a huge margin. A Predator I - the starter pistol - deals twice as much DPS as the Eagle. It also has better accuracy, no recoil, weighs less, and is less affected by armor. If you really want a fully automatic weapon, even a Locust - itself one of the worst weapons in the game - is massively better. Substantially higher DPS, more accurate, and negligible recoil.

The only possible reason I can think of to equip an Eagle is so you can FRAPs yourself using it on a solo run for ultimate bragging rights.
