Also, finally got around to scratching the ME3 multiplayer itch tonight. Dusted off the disc and got prepped to bust some heads in as a Krogan (and maybe cut some fools as a Shadow, and lay down heavy fire with a Destroyer, and hate-surf, and... you get the idea).
Servers are down :P

"A more immersive experience and conclusion of his character"
...the hell? Wtf do they want. I thought ME3 did Thane very well indeed. I actually shed a tear.
Oh, wait. I know... they want to have sex with him in ME3
IIRC, you can have sex with him when you see him at the hospital, though I don't know how graphic it is.
But what can you add without having more voice files from the original actor?
They don't add anything. They mostly take him further out of the game. Essentially, they make him "live" by not showing any of the scenes that happen relating to his death. So they put Kirrahe up against Kai Leng, they have Bailey warn you about the Cerberus occupation, while Thane (presumably) is safe in the hospital. They also remove all references to his death from the remainder of the game, and remove all his dialogue from the Citadel DLC too. He makes a brief appearance in the epilogue, though I don't know whether he has any dialogue or not.
Essentially they take a beautifully constructed story and remove half of it so that it never actually finishes.
Completely unrelated to the current discussion: I have refound my love for Mass Effect 3, specifically the multiplayer.
And specifically the Turian Soldier. I never really did much of the serious stuff, topping out at about Silver, but I must say, A Turian Soldier with a Tempest with the Heat Sink and Ammo Capacity mods and maxed RoF Marksman?
dohohohohoho. Bullet Hose Supreme. Even better if you run Armor Piercing ammo AND have someone to lower defenses on armored guys.
Turian Solder isn't the greatest class. But it's pretty fun.
I disagree. In my opinion, Turian Soldier is a great class. Of course the Turian Ghost is 10x better, but that's because he isn't a great class, he's an OP class. Same for the Alliance Infiltration Unit.
Turian soldier makes any automatic weapon useable if done correctly. I used him for nearly all the SMG and AR challenges, usually with incendiary ammo. BURN IT ALL.

Word. The Turian Havoc is the bare-chested, dancing and singing Bruce Lee of multiplayer classes. Minus the fatal drug overdose, of course.

dinnae ken, if the havocs keep abusing stim packs the way I always see them doing theyll all be junkies twitching and drooling in the alleys
Almost every class in MP is good. Usually it's just a matter of how good or whether or not you have the guns/equipment to really make a class shine. Or whether or not that class is outstripped by another more powerful, similar class.
(I hope no one takes that as an attempt to short circuit the discussion. Something I wish we did more of here is discuss various builds.)
Her kit is super basic but she brings average nuking and fantastic utility for both gun based and tech heavy teams.
Yeah she's probably the perfect example. It's also a class that I came to enjoy far more once I started making use of the Wraith. Back in the days of the Predator/Carniflex I probably would've agreed with the popular opinion of that class being underpowered. Now she's one of my favorites.
Ice blast, shoot, incinerate, shoot, take cover, reload and repeat until dead.
Occasionally throw flame turret to help with combos.

If it's not a class where I can point the cursor at an enemy and hold down the trigger until he falls over, I don't want to play it. So N7 Destroyer, Geth Juggernaut, Turian Havoc, BF3 Soldier. Yeah baby.
the only way i can play AIU without feeling waves of massive guilt is to get 50 melee kills before 10 shotgun kills
But if you want to be a melee infiltrator why would you be anything but Geth Hunter the living grenade?

The thing for me is that winning is it's own fun. I can't play anything less than the absolute best class I own, which is always the AIU or Ghost, because I know that whatever extra fun I'd get from playing a more balanced class (like Geth engineer, for example) would be completely pissed out the window as soon as my scrub teammates died, I was relied upon to carry a wave, and couldn't do it for whatever reason. I'd think to myself "if I was an AIU this match would have been winnable"
it's why i only play the less-pubbie-game-carry-capable classes with PAers
although i would classify geth engineer as definitely pub-carry-capable if you use the falcon like i do

Is the Falcon any good maxed out? I've been playing with splosion-classes lately (Proximity Mine-Scorpion Turian Soldier is mad fun, tried the Acolyte but it's a lot more finicky), but I only have a Falcon I and it's totally weaksauce.

Find the opposite for these words:

Because if there isn't, someone needs to write one.
If it could ape Deceptions writing 'style', that'd be a bonus. Kinda.
I may or may not have made Homeworld ion cannon noises when I was in that match.
im sorry but the song says "gonna", you're gonna have to figure out the opposite of that
Opposites to "Comming" and "from": "Going" "To". Abbreviation: Gonna.

I like to play Geth Engineer with a Geth Pulse Rifle + Disruptor Ammo. Tech bursts errywhere.
Word. The BF3 Soldier has Carnage, the Male/Female Soldiers get Concussive Round. Both make a rocking combo with the Falcon.
Also... those Thane mod people are insane.
