Shepard comes in with a permanent Ammo Power 3, on top of an armor setup that gives her +60% to all weapon damage (so a Rail Amp VI but for everything)
And then she gets to add the multiplayer gear on top of it
Aw now I'm all sad that didn't happen. Four separate Shepard begrudgingly allowing each other to life just long enough to start the absolute carnage of seeing who can get the most points in a Collector Platinum match would be incredible
my god
this would be glorious

I didn't bother playing on N7 day. If I could have played as Shepard, I would have taken the day off work and played for 24 hours straight.
Cerberus would have run screaming. The Reapers would have hidden in deep dark corners, huddling in the shadows in the hope that the four Shepard's would move on to easier to find targets. The Geth would have simply powered down their local platforms and transmitted themselves away - their machine logic would recognize that they had no chance of saving the hardware, and the best option available would be to ensure the safe evacuation of their software.

A Cerberus shuttle jets in, doors opening to deploy loyal, brainwashed troopers.
They look up as they start to hop, confident in their training, their jetboots primed for descent, knees springing, and see Shepard clinging to an Atlas canopy, beating the pilot to death through broken glass.
The first one manages to turn fast enough mid-fall and grab hold of the ledge, but the second one is slower and is only saved by vice-gripping the first one's ankle. Blinded by jetboots, he swings helplessly as the shuttle lists sideways. For one distressing moment his vision clears and he sees the Atlas collapse, then a blue flash. It's too late. All he can see is the world ending.
Playing Gold/Cerb/Rio with some pubs this afternoon and round 1 they all stay in the middle to the right. I didn't give us much of a chance, so I tested something out. I hung back on the far end near the extraction point on the right sniping mooks that came up the left gangway on the other end. At the end of each round I ran over to the middle of the area. While boring as hell (I probably would have been better served quitting in round 1), I was able to prevent any spawns on that side of the map. With everything spawning in front of the pubs they were able to handle it pretty easily and we extracted.
In Krogan, the word 'Shepard' has a number of meanings. The most widely used meaning is generally translated as 'hero,' though a literal translation is 'she who instills pants-shitting terror in her foes.' In formal High Krogan, used almost exclusively among the Shamans for religious rites, 'Shepard' means 'Death, destroyer of worlds.'
Shadowhope on

they should make an alternate multiplayer mode where you and your team play as the bad guys against 4 N7 operatives. you play the first wave, it's tough but doable, it seems fun, then the second wave comes, there's no enemies at all, you're thinkin "what" and then Shepard gets dropped in from orbit and just fucks you up. you keep respawning and Shepard just kills you and your team over and over until Shepard extracts.
Are you the magic man?

Standing over a downed ally and being unable to revive them is absolutely infuriating. And it seems to be happening a lot lately.
Edit: Oh btw Curly, we actually made it to wave 9 before wiping. Which wasn't bad considering there were 2 players with N7 rank of about 150.

A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

I was playing gold/Vancouver/reapers last night and a guy got downed in that little pit on the bottom level, trying to res him I just kept grabbing cover on different walls. Man that was shit. They should have at least put different buttons in for the PC version.
I'd love a VR mode or N7 training day. Where you can fight Shepard (or other, less awesome people). Your four man team vs a random Shepard. Maybe he's a vanguard. Maybe she's an infiltrator. You won't know till you start up the match and one of your teammates gets his head shot off by a cloaked claymore.
Oh shit! RUN!

I feel bad for Jacob. All the other ME2 cameos in ME3 did something kinda badass.
Zaeed kills a bunch of mercs (off camera, but still).
Samara holds off a bunch of banshees with a biotic sphere.
Miranda biotic punches her daddy.
Legion does Geth stuff.
Grunt tackles a ravager down a cliff.
Thane beats the shit outta Kai Leng.
Jack does biotic stuff and dances.
Mordin sings and (tries) to save the Korgan race.
Jacob gets shot...

Hey...
If you romanced him he cheats on Shepard and lives to tell about it.
That said I do find it amusing that it would be the black guy who would do it.

To be fair (and creepy Bioware Social Forums territory)
Who else that Shepard sleeps with could knock someone up?
Thane is dying, he wouldn't.
There are no female Turians, so not Garrus.
Your romance with Kaiden was so bad that he turned gay(ish).
Now that I think about it, Femshep is probably a bad fuck.

I always loved that Jacob cheated on Shepard. It was nice to see one of the crew take the sort of initiative usually reserved only for the protagonist.

This maybe only tangentially related to the game, since I stopped playing a month ago, but I could really use some help right now. I just got a mail from Origin, in Russian, telling me that the email address for my account has been changed. I'm on the help.ea.com site, but when I click on "Contact Us", it asks me to log in, and I can't do that since no account exists for that email id. What should I do? Create a new account to complain?

I'd say call EA support by phone and explain the situation. You'd not want your e-mail address connected to a new account when you want them to restore it.
This. This is my account. This dianis00781 guy has stolen it. Man, this is...surreal.
Luckily, I was logged into my N7 HQ page, so I can see my account information. My PSN account is still linked, but my PC account is under this guy's name "dianis00781".
"Your EA/Origin account needs to be updated. Re-sync your online profile(s) to fix this problem."
Should I click on Re-sync? I'm not sure what'll happen. And I don't see any phone numbers on the site either. The only option I see is "Contact Us" and that's asking for my email id :?

I've never used EA support before, but I'd recommend getting in touch with them however you can, because if a dude's stealing accounts you should def. be reporting it
You should also be probably changing your email and other passwords, just in case he's gotten access to anything else through whatever info of yours he has. Can't be too careful.
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.
On the EA forums, I've seen a few mods suggest creating a dummy account and then login at help.ea.com to talk with a game advisor or do a live chat from within Origin.

it'd be suicide mission 2: Tables Turned Edition, cause every unit spawned KNOWS it's gonna die.
