Mass Effect 3

[Clash Perez]

The Rebellion Multiplayer Expansion opens two new fronts against the Reapers: Firebase Jade’s jungle reservoir and Firebase Goddess on Thessia. In-game reinforcement packs now include three new weapons as well as equipment, consumables, and six new classes: Quarian Engineer and Infiltrator, Vorcha Soldier and Sentinel, Phoenix Adept and Vanguard. The battle continues – hold the line!

huh? Male versions I guess?

[Kuya]

What's a phoenix adept and vanguard?

What's a phoenix adept and vanguard?

Some say prothean because the single player DLC is called From Ashes. Other rumors are that it is ex-cerberus agents.

[mightyg]

The initial leak said they were ex cerberus. While he/she could still have been mistaken, they're other claims are now 100% true. so probably ex cerberus.

[Rulke]

so what are "ex cerberus"? More Humans? Doped up Husks?

[BaneTheBrawler]

Humans augmented with reaper tech, although if they managed to break TIM's hold over them they're probably just regular humans.

lol @ eagle "buff". Why did the hurricane need its damage increased? Its already better than every assault rifle cept a saber with ap mod and someone who can aim for the head. Also yay more Geth Primes to stun lock me from across the map.

[WahiGuard]

Crusader really didn`t need a buff. Shit was already crazy OP.

Soldiers of the Milky Way –

It is with great regret that I must announce the withdrawal of forces from several colonies in asari space. Reinforcing them proved untenable. While Operation SILENCER inflicted substantial casualties, the Reapers learned from our victories against the brutes, and they now know how to protect their own.

Rest assured that we too are learning from this conflict. Already, we are implementing plans to supply our forces with a better arsenal so that, when we next meet the enemy, they are ours. Until your next deployment, keep calm and carry on. We will pay the Reapers back soon enough.

I knew I spent too much time farming FBWGG.

lol, didn't every other community challenge just get overwhelmingly beaten?

They set the bar pretty high this time with 8 million kills.

[Pendulum]

It was only 3m banshees. And the wording on original blog entry suggests Commendation packs will still go out, just not Victory packs. I can't tell if this is true because idk if I haven't got mine because bioware are about as good as SE circa 2007 at rolling out updates or because they just aren't giving them out because not enough Banshees were killed.

Edit: I got a Crusader II, the operation was an unqualified success.

[Brill Weave]

So did Commendation packs get sent out?

[Moss]

Valiant II...

YESYESYESYES

now my salarian infiltrator will be even more of a rape train

[Xanthe]

YESYESYESYES

Me too!

[Brill Weave]

Ended up with Hurricane II.

[Mots]

I got the Hurricane. Holy shit that thing is ridiculous. I feel like a crazy person when I use it cause that mother fucker kicks like a god damn mule. And its so fast!

[Moss]

Need some troubleshooting suggestions:

I don't know if it's xbox live or the ea servers, but I can never play with one of my friends. We have played together using the same connection, but if he is a on a different connection down the street or now in a different state, it doesn't work. We can't private chat, party chat, or invite each other to a multiplayer group. We have tried resetting routers, alternating hosts, etc. and no dice.

Any ideas?
