    Scarab, the way you are writing your posts as if you are about to blow our minds with truth is getting slightly obnoxious.

    Scarab is the opposite of fun, Stilts.

    No I'm worse than that. I'm neither fun or unfun. I'm so boring you can't even pin a single emotion onto me. I'm the posting equivalent of TV static.

    You're like a fun vampire.

    You're the AT&T of SE++ Mass Effect 3 thread posters.

    At times I wonder if you are a real-life Britta Perry.

    Dude. Scarab was just describing the system analytically. Why trash him for describing exactly how and why it's put together the way it is, as well as the reason for the objective weekends, and announcements, and even the limited time offer packs?

    Because he put forth his case in a "You guys like that stuff? *pfft* Man, I see through their ploy. Time for some TRUTH BOMBS" fashion.

    Yes, I know that they provide artificial incentive to keep playing multiplayer. I'm also cool with that fact, so I don't need to be chided for daring to be excited about the multiplayer I enjoy playing getting larger for zero dollars.

    TRUTH BOMBS is my porn name.

    I really like how they are giving the new classes new abilities and not just giving them a different combination of the moves that we already have. Batarians get the net gun (cause, you know... slaver) and Asari Justicars get the giant bubble shield that we've seen them use in single player. I'm sure that will be useful for hacking and extraction.

    I don't know where Elcor get their manual dexterity from, but they must be capable of it. Maybe they have some sort of gross baby arm tucked up under their torsos.

    they could pretty easily create DLC for Javik that involves finding more Protheans, maybe even thousands of them. Change the guys idea about galactic dominance with a Paragon Shep and it'd be pretty nice to see Javik try and get his people a new beginning.

    Plus then you could legit add them to multi and that would be obviously sweet as hell

    A giant combining mecha geth.

    If you go into a match with everyone as a Geth, the normally useless 4 key activates the Gurren Lagann combination sequence.

    no, voltron.

    I'd prefer a Megas XLR Geth.

    Piloted by a Krogan.

    And every button is the 'All The Missiles' button.

    "Smite the World" is still a favorite

    So, new character powers:
    Batarian Soldier: Some sort of wrist needle thing
    Batarian Sentinel: Tech Net Stun, Shockwave, ? (will they get tech armor?)

    Geth Engineer: Sentry Turret, Overload, Shield/AOE stun?
    Geth Infiltrator: Some sort of targeting thing (maybe similar to adrenaline rush), ?, ?

    Asari Justicar: Bubble Barrier, Throw Pull, ?

    Krogan Vanguard: Charge, ?, ?

    I think the Justicar was using Pull, not Throw

    getting to do an asari defense bubble could be pretty amazing. Especially if your friends can shoot out of it, but really either way

    I'm guessing once it drops it'll drop your barriers, or something like that. Has bioware released any specific details about the builds?

    Yep, went back and checked and you are correct.

    Wonder what Krogan Vanguard will get. Certainly not nova, that would just be broken
