Earth DLC confirmed
Yes its FREEEEE
July 17, 2012 Release Date.

(Adept) N7 Fury: Throw, Annihilation Field, Dark Channel

(Soldier) N7 Destroyer: Multi-Frag Grenade, Missile Launcher, Devastator Mode

(Engineer) N7 Demolisher: Homing Grenade, Arc Grenade, Supply Pylon

(Sentinel) N7 Paladin: Snap Freeze, Incinerate, Energy Drain

(Infiltrator) N7 Shadow: Tactical Cloak, Shadow Strike, Electric Slash

(Vanguard) N7 Slayer: Phase Disruptor, Biotic Charge, Biotic Slash,


Fury: "Fury operatives use implants to fuel biotics and their incredible
movement speed. These operatives wind an unpredictable path on the
battlefield, moving in and out of combat before returning to unleash a
sweeping biotic attack on their unsuspecting targets."

Destroyer: "The Destroyer's T5-V Battlesuit gives these strong-but-slow
soldiers mech-like protection. Driven by eezo-assisted actuators, these
frontline troopers carry heavy weapons onto the battlefield."

Demolisher: "The Demolisher uses grenades to attack at range and to
terrorize the battlefield. Demolishers can also create a supply pylon
that stocks allies with an unending reserve of grenades and thermal
reloads."

Paladin: "The Paladin carries a powerful omni-shield onto the
battlefield to block enemy fire. The Paladin also uses the shield as a
heavy-melee weapon that, when modified with incindiery or cryo upgrades,
creates a devastating combination attack."

Shadow: "Shadow infiltrators use implants to dramatically improve
agility, making them slippery combatants on the battlefield. Their
monomolecular blades are a menace from cover and close range."

Slayer: "Slayers use implants to dramatically improve mobility. Their
dizzying sword attacks can hit multiple opponents, and the Slayer's
ability to slip fire makes them hard to pin down on the battielfield."

HOLY FUCKING SHIT PLAYABLE KASUMI AND PHANTOM SKINS

Supposedly a new Platinum mode as well

Time to rev up those credits.

These Krogan buffs are obscene. My favourite way of playing for fun (ie silver) anyway was going all-out with batarian soldier or any of the krogans. Fill your boots because I can't see this not being nerfed slightly. Get Rage going now and I can take a brute down to 1 bar of health in 2 swings as sentinel. Once they fix the Kroguard Rage bug (which they say is being worked on), it will be absolutely disgusting.

Yeah the Kroguard with full dmg reduction barrier upgrades is already a ridiculous tank.

That is a lot of cool shit in the new DLC, I need to farm

[Mots]

I haven't played since the last Multiplayer DLC was released. I kinda want to play but I am tired of just killing the same shit for 10 waves for the same objectives.

[Dominico]

Did they adjust the number of resources you needed to get the better endings when they did extended cut? I replayed the last 2 missions last night for the hell of it (and to watch the new Destroy All cutscenes on my tv) and got a few new cses I didn't get the last time around, which are:

Spoiler: show

In the final Leeroy Jenkins charge at the Citadel, my squad gets picked up by the Normandy before I make it to the beam of light.

and also

Spoiler: show

After the new EC cutscenes, you see what appears to be Shepards body lying in some rubble. Right before the fade to credits, you see him take a breath of air.

The only difference was that I promoted one squad from the MP (hit level 20 and prestiged), but I don't think that gives you that many points in the first place?

[mightyg]

Yeah they lowered the threshold for the optimal endings quite a bit. I think any thorough single player game will get the full ending. like it really mattered.

*New In-Mission Objective - On waves 3, 6 and 10, players may randomly be tasked with protecting a targeted agent and escorting them to an extraction zone on the map

Oh and all the new characters are Rare quality.

[Moss]

New objective could be rage-worthy but I am excited otherwise

[Pendulum]

that new objective looks like a rocket round

Hey all,

I absolutely love the MP of this game. But, I haven't played it in weeks. The continued connection issues, the re-balancing of classes, the inept delivery of ever-decreasing event rewards and, dare I say it, the RAPID release of new races/classes and weapons that dilute reward pools have completely turned me off of the game...

It was the best value in a game I have ever paid for, but I'm pretty much done with it due to the horrible handling of the MP by BW/EA.

That said, looking forward to watching the DLC on Youtube...

[Rulke]

I have the worst luck with rares. I still don't have either Batarian class, nor Vorcha solider nor either of the Cerberus classes. I always get upgrades for weapons I don't use. /sadface

[Moss]

I'm at N7 ~580ish and I still havent unlocked the Krogan or Vorcha sentinel or Batarian soldier but hey, I have a Kishock X so look out bitches

7/10 Would not biotic charge.

Definitely looking forward to the new dlc, New stuff looks good and game will be in a good place with 3 more maps. Only good thing about having Kishok X is not getting it again on gold drops.

Hahaha oh wow.

[Brill Weave]

Honestly I'm kind of done with the MP as well. I haven't played it in weeks. It's just too repetitive. No variety.

[Pendulum]

Was that post basically a complaint that the devs are watching and re-balancing their release too much and they would rather have some good old-fashioned SquareEnix 'working as intended' inaction? Yes, the store is a pain in the ass but microtransaction stuff like that is (becoming) the norm, not the exception.

And the best way to guard against connection issues is to always host so at least you get some xp/money when everyone else drops and you get overwhelmed.

[Charismatic]

Yep.
I quit before I got most of the guns/classes I wanted or at least guns to the proper levels.

Damn shame the shit's so random. I'd probably still be playing if I were able to get the classes I want.

[Insanecyclone]

[Rhyis.]

I thought that was a gag video... Until it wasn't.
