So long as they're dodgable and don't remove control from the player I'm ok with enemies having limited forms of biotics.
Given the precedent set forth by possessed abominations I think they could go so far as to give enemies biotic combos. I can picture the eventual exchange- "dude you're primed get away from the team!"

I'd enjoy that. I'm always of the opinion that it is a better game system if you give the enemy better abilities and tactics to make them more challenging, rather than simply upping their damage and HP. That's why I'm not really that big of a fan of platinum. It's an artificial increase in difficulty.
I was surprised that it was still fairly unstable on a turian sentinel with maxed passive
i then tried it out on the quarian infiltrator with the recoil mod, and it was getting pretty accurate
now to try turian + recoil mod
if i can tame this beast...
I really like using it on my Turian Sentinel. Remember that when firing from cover you get a big stability bonus. I don't know if that value varies from gun to gun but it's very noticeable with the Hurricane.
More than anything, I want to see them add an entirely new enemy type to fight. Some sort of merc group, full of aliens. I want to fight some Vorcha, Batarians, Salarians, Volus, Krogans, etc.
We also don't have any truly biotic enemies, so a merc group like that would be a great opportunity for them to add some biotic enemies to the mix. Other than barrier, the only biotic ability any enemies have is the Super-Warp of the Banshees.
I want to fight some grunt level biotics.
As much as I'd love to fight some grunt level biotics myself, most of biotic abilities tend to apply some kind of CC or DoT to the target. So... I doubt most of the rest of the player
base would like to see that.
edit: Biotic balls of energy instead of bullets would be stupid, too.
more than the CC annoyance, though, would be the enemy callouts:
I WILL DESTROY YOU

I don't want to say 'overpowered.' But it's an extremely good gun and very light for the pain it can dish out. I almost always take it on my casters. No other SMG even comes close.

sentinel and... sentinel, I think
and yeah the hurricane is silly. Its weight was a bit of an issue when it was still low level, but now that mine is up to 7 or 8 or something I find myself thinking "why wouldn't I just carry this on every class?"

The fact that its stability/accuracy is bad even as far as SMGs go makes it pretty balanced.
Actually don't use it as much as I use to because of its accuracy.
Woo Novaguard! Good times. 'cept I forgot that Brutes had a synch-kill. That was pretty weak. Overall a good weekend challenge to remind me what playing my first class was like.
having gotten a valkyrie in the comm pack, i am finally back to having at least one rank in every weapon in the game, woo!
the valkyrie is only ok, hopefully itll be better once i get some more ranks in it and the weight starts coming down. super accurate which is nice, thought it was meant to have nasty recoil like the argus but the second shot lands pretty much in the same place in the first without any stability modding
but the most important thing is that there are no more greyed-out squares on my manifest!
For me the N7 Valkyrie has replaced the Eagle is the commendation weapon I least want to see. Perhaps I'm missing something but it doesn't seem like it doesn't do anything that another weapon doesn't already do better.
Man, you gotta love that feeling how you scrape from the bottom of the scoreboard all the way to the top with your cute Quarian Engie, then the next round one of the players puts a votekick on you and will keep cycling ready/notready until you get kicked. I guess because I played too competently/he didn't like getting outscored.

Since I've hit my goal of getting my Hurricane to X, the others don't matter much. What really sealed the deal for that weapon was the AP mod for SMGs! But yeah. Weird how people used to be VALIANT OMGS... and now it's mostly hurricane love.
“I used to draw, hard to admit that I used to draw...”

My Hurricane is at 3 still. I've been playing for a very long time. I only just recently unlocked the Black Widow. I could go on about how I'm not the best of terms with the RNG system, but I'm just going to let it go for now.

That's always embarrassing when it happens. Brutes only sync kill when their eyes glow red (after AOE roar animation). It's just very hard to see if the eyes glow or not. The sync kill is rare enough to make you go "oh wait that's not supposed to happen" when it does occur.
Did a couple of games with Ardol after a pretty long break. Even Collectors and the random slayer with Harrier and 20k points couldn't hold us back.

So painfully embarrassing. What's the worst is I was carrying the match and they wiped shortly thereafter.

Well, I do have an Eagle VI or VIII too? So... there's that. At least until they buff it so it fires with enough force per shot to stagger phantoms or its rounds passively explode or something. :P
edit: I have seen Turian Soldiers do terrible things with a high level Eagle though.

Yeah but give the TurSol any automatic weapon and he'll make it look good. And to be fair my highest rank commendation weapon is the Valiant by a long shot. The me of last year would've been thrilled with that news.
Albino Bunny- I could be mistaken but I don't believe you gain much benefit by smart choking the Crusader. It already fires a highly accurate slug.
You don't need to smart choke the crusader. Stick another mod on there. As for Infiltrators with it? Check the cloack passives, as long as the final evolution for damage isnt weapon specific you should be good.
So I take all the cloak upgrades except 6 because the sniper boost isn't needed and then take weight reduction over sniper damage at passive 6? I'm guessing.

I like smart choking because I'm not a shotty fan so having a laser pointer that one shots stuff is highly appealing to me.

the smart choke tightens the spread on shotgun blasts, but the crusader doesn't have a spread; it fires a slug. The smart choke literally doesn't do anything for it.

Just throw it on your Marksman-spec'ed Turian Soldier and enjoy your new mini-gun.

I think it'd be interesting. Provided the CC was basically a ranged stagger I don't think it'd be terrible.
I want to fight bloodpack. Inferno ammo or go home.

that's three ultra-rares this week
I have so many SMG and Pistol upgrades I could build a Mako out of them.

I would do terrible things for a series of Mass Effect Lego sets.
I tried the Human Solder with a Falcon X and Incendiary ammo 3. I tried all combos of concussion shot and grenade, he didn't really impress me.
Man I fucking love this community of shitlords.

Then I smart choked it.
Then I put it on the Destroyer.
I think, I think I may have a problem.

The crusader is pretty much a sniper rifle
