Mass Effect 3

You'll be fine, for Silver at least. I recommend maxing out your uncommon weapons through veteran packs if you haven't already. The Mattock is an especially solid uncommon weapon in particular. They just released premium packs that give you characters or weapons depending which you choose, so if you're tired of what you got, buy one of those. There are a shitload of new characters so you've got a lot of cool stuff to look forward to.

It sounds to me like you're having connection issues with the game servers. I play PC and the only ammo-related glitch I've ever had is that the Harrier occasionally won't pick up its full capacity of ammo.

Yeah, my main farmer is turian ghost with harrier and not reloading all the way at ammo dumps is common even when I can see there are clips there, but that's just the start of the ammo count issues.

Seeing it a lot as I'm trying to farm my 25 plat runs before harrier is nerfed as it's the only AR worth a sh*t. I keep getting stuck with Rio campers and I can't stand them and don't want to be them when harrier is neutered.

I haven't played any ME3 MP since release, am I going to be horribly behind and useless with just a lv 20 Turian Soldier and Krogan Sentinel(I think it was a Sentinel...) or will I be ok with those until I grind out something better?

Krogan Sentinel (or Soldier for that matter) is still a solid choice. What was said above, just make sure you max out your common / uncommon weapon. I'd recommend you use your grenades and melee like crazy. Once you have a decent assault rifle, you can use Turian soldier to make a more shooty class, and will probably have other characters choices at that point.

Operation: PROPHECY (December 21st-23rd)

Event Description:

Our successes on Earth have given us the capability to land materiel in several war zones. However, in order to conceal shipments to the resistance, each delivery needs corresponding strikes on Reaper targets to create a screening distraction. The operations to deliberately gain Reaper attention are extremely high-risk and will require increased numbers to spread thin Reaper reaction forces. For this mission, N7 commanders, wherever possible, will recruit and command supplemental volunteer units: recent graduates of our N7 program and soldiers who bring experience from other branches.

Challenge Goal 1: Extract once on each Earth map (London, Vancouver, and Rio).

Challenge Goal 2: Score 100,000 cumulative points against Reaper enemies.

Challenges can be completed at any difficulty.

Completion of both goals awards the player a Commendation Pack.
Completion of both goals also awards the player a banner, “Hero of the Last Days.”

It's all fun and games until the meteors really do start coming down!

so far i've brought 10 personal creates (credits) i've gotten 1 rare character and tons of cobra rockets but little anything else :/

[Dryr]

I've bought about 10 armory crates. A total of 3 n7 and 5 character cards along with finally getting lvl IV ammo mods. I've gone back to PSPs.

Also, with the Mayan thing, wasn't there a date translation error and it was actually supposed to happen in June or something? Other translation error was that it wasn't the end of the world, but the end of the "Age," meaning the calendar just resets for the next one.

But, a big meteor did "narrowly" miss earth last week. Passed between us and the moon.

No translation error, a context error. End of 13th baktun isn't the end of the world any more than the end of the 12th month is. Just time to buy a new calendar.

Mayans didn't predict anything, stupid new-age crystal healing dickheads just ascribe immense knowledge of the cosmos and the supernatural to people that thought the world was flat and square.

Did the challenge this afternoon. Got more N7 shotgun fun. Also unlocked the Volus vanguard. How is that even a good idea in any way?

[Rulke]

I have a Volus vanguard now. Volus are so hilarious out there its awesome

Mass Effect 3 Wii U gameplay, (ok yea I stole it from the Wii thread)

Volus are bomb. Use the recon mine on the engineer as a AoE Debuff, combine that with proxy mine on bosses for a total of 50% more damage on them. The sentinel is alright on reaper/cerberus, shit against collectors, but absolute boss on geth. Decoy and Drone will distract ALL geth and they take a while to kill them. Vanguard kicks major ass. Biotic charge every mook, biotic orb debuff evolution stack against bosses like banshee for 45% more damage taken. The Adept is kinda lame though, stasis doesn't work on armor so you can't biotic combo most stuff on higher difficulties, only debuff, which the vanguard can do. Dat Damage reduction shield boost is the saving grace for PUG matches. Just follow the best player and fight/heal them.

[Dryr]

I get that Volus are more about buffs and debuffs for the party than being useful alone. But ffs plat runs with a volus sole survivor are maddeningly long. Takes 5 minutes for them to drop a single shielded garbage mob. Missiles are the only means they have to drop a heavy... The other thing, is that they depend on the camping strat to be useful at all. They are great for that, but even on Rio, it's a flawed plan depending on objectives.

Pretty sure you're thinking of Harold Camping's predictions for the Rapture. When it didn't actually come when he said it would (which I believe was May 2011?), he said "oh no that's just the day everyone is judged, we did the math again and the real apocalypse is in October" (although I'm probably off on the dates, since he made it all up anyway).

Needless to say his second date came and went and nothing happened, so he retired from the predicting-the-end-of-the-world business. He also predicted it sometime in the late 80s/early 90s.

[Clash Perez]

There was a stupid picture going around Facebook and other sites saying that the Maya didn't account for leap years, and due to that the world should've ended months ago.

Which is like saying that all metric measurements are off because they don't account for the fact that there are 12 inches in a standard foot instead of ten (i.e., fucking retarded).

A plat wave with any sole survivor is maddeningly long. Shields just regenerate too quickly for one person to take them out without dying, unless they're a class equipped to keep those shields down. It wasn't so bad when Plat first came out and shield regen rates were roughly the same as Gold, but then they decided Plat was too easy and majorly upped them.

I'm going to be picking up MP on PC again this weekend. I essentially haven't touched it since a month after it came out. Aside from some balance changes, was anything majorly changed? I know they added a shitload of classes, but I've none of it unlocked.

I came back about 2 weeks ago now. Biggest change is that it's not all about Snipers and pistols anymore. SMG and AR are very popular (especially with mods) and lots of the new chars can solo burstplosion to great effect and/or debuff for huge damage bonuses. Powers are even main weapons now such as flamer on geth and vorcha.
