I don't like this part:
"Patches are very expensive, and we always need to evaluate the current state of the game versus the cost of doing another patch."
It really does sound more and more like this was the last patch.

Arsenal Pack: It's easy to smile when you're armed to the teeth! $3 / 240MSP
(Probably a guaranteed weapon)
N7 Equipment Pack: Superior gear to round out your combat kit. $2.50 / 200MSP
(Probably a guaranteed gear item)
Reserves Pack: Need backup? Bring in fighters from all corners of the galaxy to diversify your team. $3 / 240MSP
(Probably a guaranteed character card)
Love me some Krogan Solider with a Reegar. Kill all the things with lightning. Or my head, when appropriate. (Its always appropriate).
Still hate sync kills. If you are going to have an enemy that ignores or eliminates 3 core dynamics of the game (health, shields and reviving) does it really need to be the toughest most mobile enemy in the faction? Ah well. 'splode them with rockets I guess.
If they're MP it doesn't necessarily mean we'll ever see them. But if we do, my guess would be that Arsenal Pack = 1 guaranteed rare weapon, Reserves Pack = 1 guaranteed character card, and N7 Equipment Pack = 1 guaranteed gear item. Maybe I'll finally be able to max my guddam shotgun amp.

Played a few games today, got synced by banshees a lot of times. It really is the only thing that makes them any way dangerous.
That old man looks like he 'bout to fuck somebody up.
That's Lou. You don't fuck with Lou.

Playing with bad players is annoying, of this there is no doubt.
What's worse than those though, is when you get good players who are bad. More concerned with padding out their own scores than reviving team mates who go down 10 feet away, won't move to take care of objectives.
Sure, they can kill things super fast with their Striker and Piranha X, but that's not going to get anybody else extracted.
I can tolerate somebody inexperienced getting in over their heads in a gold match but veterans should have no excuse.

Had this happen to me one game.
It was a Quad-hack and the one of our teammates gets downed while hacking the 3rd node. I was too far away at the time but the other 2 guys were right next to him so I think they're going to revive. They don't and he gets stomped.
So I'm like whatever, I'm holding back a spawn and decide to continue to do so, so that they have enough time to hack the third one. After half a minute I see they aren't so I run to hack it myself.
I capture the 3rd one and on my way to the 4th one I run right until a grenade that exploded instantly because the enemy threw it short as they do from time to time. I go down and thinking that with only one node left surely my teammates will revive me(not to mention it was only Wave 3 and I don't revive that early).
So, they don't revive me but I'm like well...its only wave 3 surely they can just get that last node and we can be done with it. After a minute of watching them run around I saw that they had no intention of hacking the node at least not until time was almost gone. And they weren't new because they both had N7 rating in the 1000s.
Decided to quit out because while they were competent at killing stuff, I wasn't going to go through 8 more waves of this.
Yeah that's the problem with achievements or accomplishments or whatever they're called. Dicks are no longer simply dicks but rather point-obsessed dicks.. Dead teammate? More like one less competitor!
Unless you were playing a dirty batarian, anyway. Then, it's justified.
I had a game on Hydra where two Demolishers with Widow X's got themselves up on a wall out of play and where content to snipe things. Problem was on wave 6 on gold when the hack objective was out of their field of fire. They were content to watch the other player and myself die hacking and lose the match. What really pissed me off was they complained when we refused to use our consumables.

Allied Goal: Complete 50,000 cumulative total extractions of Batarian, Vorcha, or Turian characters.
Have they clarified how they're doing the count? Are they doing each character counts again (a party of 4 of those is 4 extracts) or is it 1 extract counted per group?

Well, my Batarian Soldier is going to do his part this weekend.
Does the Vorcha Flamer count as a weapon or a power?
I'm asking because I just unlocked the Sentinel and since Vorcha are part of the weekend extraction challenge, I'd like to give him a try. Anyone have any tips on how to build him?

I believe going by the challenges it's considered a Tech power. I usually use the +12% to Tech power and recharge speed.

that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat

Or at least somebody wants it to be.
The interview mentions they "...are releasing new Packs."
And this is on a Playstation store news page:
Mass Effect 3
Alternate Appearance Pack 1 (£1.59/€1.99)
Arsenal Pack (£2.39/€2.99)
N7 Equipment Pack (£1.99/€2.49)
Reserves Pack (£2.39/€2.99)

It says (on another website, can't find it right now) "in-game only" in terms of avaiability.
Besides, preorder weapons can't seriously be spread over 3 differnet DLCs...

still "N7 Equipment Pack" sounds like all the n7 weapons to me, the other two packs could be the mp weapons not released with additional new ones.
Reserves pack sounds more multiplayer though, like a consumables only pack.
At those prices they'd have to be rad as Hell
sorry broski, it's all good :^:

You sir, are a blight!
I had a lot of trouble getting on tonight, and I when I did, there was terrible lag and many matches froze. (On PS3.)
Have they clarified how they're doing the count? Are they doing each character counts again (a party of 4 of those is 4 extracts) or is it 1 extract counted per group?
For the Hegemony!

Yep, it's true.
that puzzle theory is looking more and more likely...
That before the release of the Collector's DLC that they would still be doing Allied operations.
