    Does the Geth Engineer have some kind of shield that can basically do a Nova thing?

    All of the classes actually look really awesome

    Yessssss

    Edit: Disappointed there are no new enemy groups though :( Unless they just forgot to mention that, but I doubt it. But hey, free!

    I don't think "The Truth" was ever real and while some of these seemed good guesses, there is enough things here that don't match to prove to me the leaked picture probably wasn't real.

    I like how the Asari Justicar Adept has the biotic shield bubble from the end of ME2.

    Hmm... man, they are REALLY in a corner now. If I know EA, they wouldn't voluntarily offer DLC like this for free unless they felt they had to. If anything, this is almost as telling about EA's reaction to fans than BioWare's canned PR response about the ending DLC.

    This is really interesting. I would not have guessed this at all. Sounds like a good PR attempt to win back some favor (for once). I wonder what DLC they are planning to actually charge for.
    it's probably subsidized by all those poor saps (cough cough) who are buying Spectre packs

    I have never bought a Spectre pack w/ real cash.

    I did buy 5 Premium Spectre packs however. :D

    Two maps, four classes, and five guns are enough for me for the first pack. (Also I'm hoping that they get single-player Cerberus missions as well, but that probably won't happen, especially since one of them looked like Menae, which is already in the main campaign.)

    A reason to suicide yourself into the enemy for the greater good.

    The phone rings but Chris Avellone barely stirs. He merely rolls over, pulling the sheets across his face and cursing that stupid phone for all its worth. But like his insufferable whore of an ex-wife, it just won’t shut the fuck up, and despite his best efforts Avellone is rudely awoken at an hour no man should ever be forced to witness sober.

    With a groan he slams his arm onto the dresser, grabbing the noisy bitch with his tobacco stained fingers still shaking from a night without vodka. He pulls it beneath the covers to growl out an answer. What?, he barks, with a voice seemingly dragged through five miles of rock and shingle. If this is Todd Howard then I already told you - no more crack on credit. I’m calling in your tab, motherfucker.

    The man on the phone mumbles to him, incoherent in the cold air of dawn. Avellone reaches for a half-smoked cigar lying at the foot of his bed, fumbling in the dark for a match. He can barely make out the words, but they sound frantic and afraid. They sound like the last gasps of a man with nowhere else to turn.

    Staggering to his feet, arching his back, Avellone feels his neck. The five o’clock shadow from yesterday now turning into a three-day beard of misery and regret. Pinning the phone to his shoulder, he lights-up and wanders over to the breakfast bar in a half-conscious daze, barely listening this crazy person on the phone calling himself Mike Gamble, whoever that is. Instead, he stares lovingly down at his point-four-four with one round in the chamber. Not today, my dear, not today. But soon.

    Tossing two oranges and a packet of M&Ms into the blender, Avellone grows more awake with each passing comment. Something something ending. Something something artistic vision. Gamble's becoming more animated, pleading with him in panicked whispers, repeating just one word over and over. Bioware. The one word that snaps Avellone out of his grimy, cesspool of an existence. Bioware.

    He pauses, the cigar falls from his mouth. He gives the far wall of his motel sty the thousand-yard stare, frightened for the first time since the execs said he had to make a South Park game. He listens intently for a minute, the hollow vessel on the other end sounding as though it’s about to burst into tears. And then, calmly, Avellone holds the phone close and asks one simple question: You did what?

    A moment passes and his world explodes, Chris' mind fracturing like the shards of a long forgotten mirror. The phone drops to the ground and clatters beneath the table. But he doesn’t care. How could he? Nothing matters anymore. They fucked it up, they fucked it all up. His brothers. His family. How could they be so stupid?

    Avellone's breath softens, matted hair is swept back from his sullen, pallid face. Reaching for the blender, he downs the kick-me-in-the-balls smoothie and grabs his car keys from the kitchen nook. As he steps out into the blistering fires of Irvine, California, he whispers just one thing to the damnable world that has yet to claim his miserable life. They should have called me sooner, the fools. They should have called me sooner.

    Then, putting on some aviators and coughing up his one remaining lung, Chris Avellone leaves his pitiful life of vice behind, and sets off to begin the Great Work.

    Not gonna lie, I have paid real money for Spectre Packs. Like, an embarrassing amount. But now I can justify it as helping the community get this DLC pack for free! Yeah, that's it.

    Also, I wonder if you automatically get these new classes unlocked, or if they just go into the pool of character unlocks and you have to randomly unlock them via Spectre Packs.

    Six classes. Geth Infiltrator, Geth Engineer, Batarian Sentinel, Batarian Soldier, Asari Justicar, Krogan Vanguard.

    Plus all we need now is a geth plasma pistol to complete the set.

    Yes, but this time it will be intentional.


    Another thing. I wonder if the new update will come with patches to fix some of the more serious problems with the MP.

    Since it is free that would be a great way to distribute them.

    Maybe Batarian soldier will somehow make the soldier class a viable option on silver/gold.

    Yeah basically.

    I wonder how the "OMG the whiners destroyed our future multiplayer DLC" crowd will react. Probably hilariously.

    Most importantly, how are they getting all this past microsoft?

    EA has a reasonable amount of clout with MS. I imagine that probably helps - that, and I -think- they may have softened their restrictions on 'free' DLC across the board.

    Regardless, I'm just excited that I get to play a Krogan Vanguard. I need no other class now.

    WATCH THIS SPACE.

    Get what past, Microsoft? A free update?

    Probably the same way all the other companies who have released free updates before have done it...

    Just maybe though.

  • AegeriAegeri Registered User regular
    There are very few free updates on the 360, for example Bastion had to charge 80msp for its "free DLC" (even though they had no intention of actually doing so). It's notoriously difficult to get anything past microsoft for free on the 360 actually.

    Yeah, seriously

    The Krogans already have massive shields and 70% damage reduction w/ rage... add to that the ability to replenish your shields at the touch of a button, without using an expendable Ops pack?

    Yikes.

    So anyway, you can semi troll your teammates currently by dressing your mans up in Cerberus colours.

    But with this DLC... you can equip a plasma shotgun and basically play as a Geth Hunter?

    I'm going to spend so many matches just stood behind people, silently, waiting for them to look over their shoulder and OH FUCKING SHIT.

    I also like that they are adding new abilities to the characters.

    At first I thought they were just going to rearrange the stuff that was already there.

    The batarian capture net ability is not only true to the character but kind of cool-looking.

    Imagine using it on Phantoms.

    Yeah, if you want to buy time and get into my pants good graces, new maps and weapons and characters is a fine start.

    Announcing that they'll be available in four fucking days seals the deal.

    Edit: it's not just trolling. I just happen to like dark grey for uniforms, but after the first day with a few people mistaking me for the enemy, I started wearing deep blue instead. As much as I might want a more realistic colour scheme (don't judge me), since the enemy don't give a shit what I'm wearing, I might as well stand out to my allies.

    Man, batarians are so awful they even bring their slavery into multiplayer.

    Also is the geth engy's heavy melee hold-able for a shield thing? Because that's what it looks like.

  • RenzoRenzo Registered User regular
    I'm betting the Krogan Vanguard will have the lowest health and shields of the Krogan classes. It probably won't have Nova, and of course it has low maneuverability like all Krogans. And it probably won't have the shield ability either.

    So yeah, shouldn't be too hard to take one down.
