All of this sounds good. Time to start saving my credits up in earnest.
(Destroyer and Demolisher)
Look me up on Origin. Just don't be angry if there aren't enough enemies to go around.

What, to replace existing ones, or are they added onto the end of current skills? Or is this kind of like choosing between Bastion and Nemesis specialization in ME1?
And yea more enemies and factions would be nice.
edit: and it's also just a rumour. from a somewhat reliable source?
demolisher was engineer and destroyer was vanguard
Edit: Oh, also, I'd take that rumor for true. Every single DLC rumor so far has come true, and this sounds very much legit - Plus, afaik I'm not the only one who's been waiting on some earth maps.

That is easily the best thing I've seen all week. It desevres all the views.
And with that I've unlocked all of the Ultra Rares!

although maybe I should actually work on completing a bunch of these gold guns, just so they won't all be in the way when I want to unlock new classes

Its one human variant for each of the existing classes.
how are people leveling him? I'm thinking skip fitness then max everything else? Gonna try him with shotgun/pistol to start then I'll see how it goes from there

Oh, and that "matchmaking takes ping into account" thing? Total BS. It put me into one where my biotics would not track a turret. Think about that for a second.
I should go.
I think they should throw in a weekend event where a Harvester shows up with the Reapers. I'm not sure how hard it would be for them to do that, but it's the only enemy in the game that doesn't show up in multi.
I love using the paladin on my Asari Vanguard. The heads... they just... pop. Carnifex has nothing on it. Well. it shoots faster. but anyway.
It'd be cool if they brought back some enemy types from the earlier games, like the giant Geth tank things or maybe a faction built around the Omega criminal groups with a mix of Vorcha, Krogan, and Salarian enemies.
Yeah the paladin on my salfiltrator is amazing. Sure its only three shots, but each one of those is a potential kill everytime.
well right, but every class already has 2-3 human guys. Which isn't to say we couldn't get an ex-cerberus engineer or a ex-blue suns vanguard or something, it just seems like it'd be more fun to proliferate some other races. Gimme a Drell infiltrator or something.

Human Adept is just sad.

Agreed. That, and a new gamemode. Especially if we get both, but the latter is more important. You're going to get bored fighting the new enemy faction pretty quickly, believe me. But new gamemodes? THAT would spice things up. Like "Capture the flag", where you have to capture devices all the time and get increasingly more credits for doing so. "King of the Hill", an endless Hack objective. Credits earned per second become increasingly more as time moves on.
Or better yet, something entirely new, though I can't think of anything that works well with all maps...Maybe a gamemode, where you the map is full of enemies, and you have to clear them out - this makes up one wave. For every wave, you get a new map to clear out and a randomly selected enemy type. Enemies per map become increasingly more as you progress. Credits earned per map as well, of course.
....aaaand of course, as always - more balance, please! I don't like having to use only three of 11 assault rifles. What are the ohters, shelf decorations?! Phaeston, Avenger, Vindicator, Striker - all pretty much garbage compared to the Sabre, Mattock and Harrier. Revenant is decent, but that's it.
Edit:
If the rumor turns out to be true, I want the new human classes to be helmet-less. Skin color should include black as well. Primary color sets the hair color. Pattern gives options for facial hair (females included).

seems like legit matchmaking...

Like what? Some random merc band? During a galactic war against the Reapers? New enemy types maybe, but not new factions.
Why not? Mercs trying to turn a profit by stealing Alliance Resources doesn't sound far fetched.
New enemies for existing factions sounds like a good idea, but again, even here we need some balancing first. Cerberus have only one actually threatening unit - the Phantom. Make the Phantom less powerfull, and the other units more powerful instead. Geth are ok, but need waaaay less staggering. Reapers need a bit less instakill but are ok otherwise.

They could possibly add the Collectors as another enemy. Explain it as some that weren't around when you destroyed the base or something like that.
TIL the word "seashell" triggers my big manly tearducts.
I've also played 5 games today and only had 1 objective round the entire time, so it should be interesting to see the actual numbers when the operation is over.
I should go.
New DLC + Event weekend
This hurts you.

wait a minute there blackbird! Vindicator? Shelf decoration?? SHELF DECORATION???????????
Vindicator gets use on my human sentinal.
And for shame Blackbird, you know the Falcon gets a lot of use between Curly and myself.

It does, that's why I didn't mention it under bad weapons - but in terms of damage, it isn't exactly good. So, it's more of a utility thing than a weapon. Good on classes that can rely power for damage, no arguing about that!
And the Vindicator can't hold a candle to the Harrier or even the Mattock. Why would I use it over these two weapons then? Besides, it's got another drawback: Recoil is strong enough to make the third shot of a burst miss often, unless you're playing as a Turian.
And the Avenger is supposed to be the weapon every class can use. And that's true. What they somehow forgot is that there are pistols with equal or less weight that do more DPS. Again - why take the worse weapon?

I mean, compare the Raptor (sniper) vs the Mattock (rifle) and the Mattock out performs it in every way (except rate of fire, the Raptor is faster).
Also, anyone gonna join me on 360 in about... 9 hours or so?
