Mass Effect 3

When I play single player the other 2 people there are just for the enemies to shoot at. It's pretty much just you doing all the work. Or if you really have a lot of free time on your hands you can do the thing where you pause combat like a cheating fucker and stack up abilities. lol

Edit: I wish I could trade you my Saber for something like a single Carnifex upgrade. Got so many rares and a few ultra-rares I'll never use and have no interest in. :/

Fuck you lol.

**-Zer0-** · 2012-04-01 23:37

Lol, I have a Carnifex 6 I'd gladly trade for Saber 1

Soldier is really good if you have some decent guns, but unlike other classes that can rely entirely on Powers, if you don't have a good gun you're gonna do ass. Frag Grenades are amazing and abusing Adrenaline Rush to get a free reload with slow reload weapons is super good. As meaningless as it often is, I regularly top the scoreboard on Soldier. If you know the maps (ammo caches and spawn points) well you can fuck up huge groups of enemies with Frag Grenades and then mow em down with your gun. Those Killstreak popups you get when you Missile a bunch of enemies at once? I've had them quite a few times with Frag Grenades. It's hard to really say a weakest "class" overall but I doubt Soldier would be it even if you were to. You have to compare each character individually, because you have garbage like Quarian Engineer sat in the same group as the Godly Human/Salarian Engineers.

Ah! I was starting to think this was the case, thanks for the info. I should have just done multiplayer sooner; it's a lot of fun.

(A few sites I checked indicated that EMS could still be raised in multiplayer after HQ and before Earth and STILL count for ending- so despite what Hackett said I tried this. It was late and I really wanted to do the HQ mission then sleep and start multiplayer in the morning.. anyway, thanks again)

I have a blast with my Soldier using nothing except a Revenant.

There was this post a while back, and I've been using the .pdf from the link in the post, it's been pretty nice to see what I still need. The list in the post is missing a few things, so using the .pdf is preferable. Up until I read this I didn't even realize attachments only go up to V lol.

wat. Quarian engi is fucking awesome, silver is extreme easy mode if you have your primary skills maxed and know how to spam combo powers, much more useful on cerb/reapers than the other 2 engi's. Gold, it does great and helps a lot with cyro weakening/stuning/freezing spam but you probably don't want more than one. I guess the other 2 are better there but the quarian is still awesome. Soldier is easily the worst class overall because of it reliance on good weapons and lack of power spamming or any other defenses or anything really. I'm not saying they're shit, just that everything else is better.

**Plow** · 2012-04-02 02:51

yeah pretty much anything that can make good combos is beast mode if done properly

From what i understand u get killstreak bonus when u kill 5 enemies in 1 second, the other day i manage to get the gold version gives a decent amount of exp

I only really like soldier with the krogan or bf3 characters. Turian is ok and hilarious using marksman with hurricane but i still think its a couple of steps below them 2. I unlocked revenant over the weekend and its really improved my bf3 guy being able to pump 2 enlarged clips and carnage during AR plus a couple of frag grenades in to stuff like atlas and brute which takes a huge chunk out of them.

**Ragnus** · 2012-04-02 07:44

Been trying to look up the differences but I can't find it easily. How does the BF3 soldier differ from a regular human soldier?

**feril** · 2012-04-02 08:03

BF3 soldier has Carnage instead of Concussion shot.

**Ragnus** · 2012-04-02 08:11

Oh damn. That's a pretty nice improvement.

Placed second as a level 1 adept in a bronze lobby with a 16, 14 and 9, the Vanguard 9 was the lowest scorer, went from 1 to 6 on the match

Feels Drell Adept, man

M-300 Claymore is so funny on bronze... i just finished a game where my level 1 soldier beasted my team in score - we had a lvl 20 SalEng and a lvl 18 Asari Adept too. It doesn't matter - any class with an M-300 can go full krogan by themselves, even with no powers at all.

Should probably point out Smart Choke V is the other half of the secret. Money Headshots are in the lower center of your reticle - that's a protip.

Anyone down to game? Someone stole my name, so I am 0Chuckwagon

**Hellfury** · 2012-04-02 11:30

Did anyone get their raptor rewards yet? I didn't participate last time, so I'm not sure how long this is supposed to take. We only had to allow for them to do the statistics, then during the window, promote 2x characters, right?
