All of the classes actually look really awesome

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.
Yay.
It looks like we can shoot out of it while enemies can't shoot into it
This is gonna be awesome

I did buy 5 Premium Spectre packs however.
Yeah, I just noticed that. Pretty big, too. Throw that fucker down in some of those terrible hack zones on Giant.
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.)
fucking finally
How dare you you heathen!
A reason to suicide yourself into the enemy for the greater good.
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.
When playing as a Batarian, it should be required to constantly trash talk your teammates.
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.
Almost certainly the latter.

Batarians should be the only characters affected by friendly fire
And there should be an XP bonus for "accidentally" killing them
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.
Somehow.
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.
Probably the same way all the other companies who have released free updates before have done it...
Just maybe though.
GETH INFILTRATOR YESSSSSSSS
I should go.
geth stunlock? banshee grab?
That being said I can't wait to see their full movelist.
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.
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.
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
pantsgood 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.
So yeah, shouldn't be too hard to take one down.
