Mass Effect 3

That trailer really actually didn't do it for me at all. Should have been more biotics, tech powers, Krogans charging, Reapers reaping, 100% less Ashley.

Still psyched for the game though, playing a lot of the multiplayer demo.

Been dicking around with Drell Vanguard today, figured it'd be crappy and human is so much fun with Nova + Charge but God damn... Pull + Charge go really well together. It's kind of finnicky to get the explosion to trigger (if they're too high off the ground it misses) but when it does? Holy shit it owns. At one point I killed 4 dudes with a single explosion lol. Just need to get some weight reduction or use a different shotgun, right now this one drops me to +90% cooldown recharge, if I can get it less than that to spam more it'll be amazing.

I've been trying out the Krogan Soldier today that I finally unlocked last night. I used the Carnifex with the zoom scope exclusively on my engineer since it is so strong and accurate. Holding the Carnifex alone gives+196% recharge, so I can spam Incinerate/Overload(and now Carnage).

How does he still have shields after nova?

**Galkaeater** · 2012-02-21 17:53

can choose to have it so nova only drains half shields at the cost of -40% dmg

**Kuya** · 2012-02-21 17:57

Might be worth it? Nova at least works to give you a break while getting cornered, but i dunno.

**Kiarax** · 2012-02-21 20:09

Since we get male/female human I was planning on doing one each way. Though there's a "Promote" button on char select so I guess in the full version we get the advanced classes too.

**Pendulum** · 2012-02-21 20:53

On further messing around Drell vanguard can be p fun, unlocking Phalanx has helped a lot. I want to unlock Widow even more now after just being with a Quarian that was going through Guardian shields.

**Kiarax** · 2012-02-21 21:33

I can't see any need for a Widow on Vanguard, that shit is really heavy too so it'd kill your cooldowns. Speaking of the Widow though, apparently there's a Black Widow version with higher ammo capacity but weighs more, that shit is gonna be ridiculous on Infiltrator. Although I've taken to using the Viper now. I have a +90% capacity mod so I get something silly like 6 shots per clip and 70 total ammo. Headshots still one shot the standard troops on Bronze so you can tear up enemy groups that are just spawning super quick. Not so good for shielded enemies but it's easy to just shoot them 2-3 times in quick succession to take them out too.

**BadKarma** · 2012-02-21 22:09

Is the 3 shot sniper anywhere to be found? That shit was banging.

**Kiarax** · 2012-02-21 23:30

Yeah, Incisor is in apparently.

All players begin with the following five weapons to choose from:

Weapons that can be unlocked through the Store include:

I felt the same, but more unwilling to give up my saves... Origin runs quite a bit smoother than steam tbh, maybe because it doesn't have to check for dozens of updates and do popups for sales...

Have to say, I am addicted to this online. Even with the thought that two weeks of non stop online advancement will disappear when the game launches, I can not stop. Funny thing is I swore to myself that I'd have no reason to touch the online and wanted to play this game for the story.

I'm the same way. After every 2 hour+ session I say to myself I have no reason to play it again, but inevitably I pick it up back up later.

Made it to the 8th wave on gold on firebase white. Ended up cornered by a few phantoms and an atlas with no cobras left. Gold is really fun though with a good group, although I can't melee with my krogan near as much.

**Hitoshura** · 2012-02-22 01:06

Origin is honestly not as bad as I initially thought when I bought BF3. I do love the group mini vent like channels you can make with teams. I hope ME3's multiplayer works similar.

**Null** · 2012-02-22 01:27

Good god my skill is so up and down in this game. One run I can beat out people 30 levels higher then me by a good 20k points. Then the next run with the same people I get my ass handed to me left and right.

**Elcura** · 2012-02-22 06:40

Origin is the main reason I'm avoiding PC version, but it's also the only version I want to play. Piracy considered, but I really want to try the MP as it looks really fucking fun so maybe I'll just bite the bullet.

**Kuya** · 2012-02-22 06:55

I decided on ps3 version to avoid.origin.

I only feel ok about being lvl 50 b/c I checked the leaderboards and that ranks me around 16000. There are thousands of lvl 120s...
