Stasis gets used on almost every kill when i'm on my asari. Stasis keeps anything away from you and motionless for HS. It makes centurions drop their shields and even phantoms become fodder to HS. Reducing the cd in the spec tree is pretty important when you try to separate from the group and their screen-shaking abilities. Also, stasis breaks pretty easily when people start targeting your trapped npc with full-auto smgs and ARs even if they do almost no damage.

What's HS?

**Galkaeater** · 2012-02-25 16:18

headshot?

**Kiarax** · 2012-02-25 16:30

I like that you think headshots might be hard on the console version but you can't headshot moving targets on the PC... lol. I dunno what loadout you take, but the cooldown on Stasis is ridiculously low when you have +200% cooldown reduction. It never lasts the full 6 second duration because... y'know, whatever I hit with it dies before then. Perhaps when we get some harder enemies in the full version that you can actually Stasis the added damage and stuff from upgrades will be worth it, but against Cerberus alone the difference is completely negligible between 1 point and it maxed. They still die before it wears off and if not, they fall on their ass and die before they can stand up again at the very least. Though even saying this... I'm gonna max it just because I don't think the extra Health/Shields from Fitness is necessary either.

HNGHHHH I WANT THIS GAME NOW. These last 2 weeks are unbearable.

**Kiarax** · 2012-02-25 16:52

No kidding... every time I sit down I'm fighting off the urge to turn it on and play more MP, put over 17 hours in to it so far. Still gonna play even more before release but I'm trying to avoid playing it too much, I feel like I could seriously sit there and just play it all day even with 2 maps and 1 enemy type lol.

Good to see that the multi player is well received (here at least). I remember a lot of skepticism when it was announced.

**Kuya** · 2012-02-25 17:34

It's really something you gotta play to get. I've seen plenty of games that look like boring shit until you actually play them.

I like the MP, but i hate the randomness of packs, rank n7 67 and still no damn aliens.... think i might give up until release lol

**Kiarax** · 2012-02-25 18:10

Yeah I'm hoping they have much more packs to buy in the store in the full version. Can still keep it randomized but at least have some that have a focus on characters, one for weapons, one for mods, etc. Instead of having a chance to give an Uncommon or Rare or whatever, they can make it so that item is always a character and so on. Once you move up to at least Silver the credits start to come quickly though so I guess once you're maxed out and spamming Gold in retail you'll start getting stuff much faster.

I love the multiplayer, was really sceptical when i heard it announced but its so fun. Grown to love charging around like a lunatic with Drell Vanguard. Still fruitlessly trying to unlock Krogan Q_Q

**WahiGuard** · 2012-02-25 20:56

If you Stasis within a group then warp bomb Stasis, the surrounding enemies will then be in stasis. Shit is nice.

**Kiarax** · 2012-02-25 21:22

I noticed that a couple times and didn't even think about it. Does triggering the Biotic Explosion with Throw work too? Throw does nice damage if you take the direct damage upgrade and it's a lot faster too.

**hexagram23** · 2012-02-25 21:50

I had zero interest in the multi-player and I've been playing the fuck out of it. It's fun and addicting as hell.

My luck is abysmal though. Have zero alien races unlocked, and the only special gun I have is the Window. Which I don't even use.

COLLECTOR'S EDITION Y U SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE?! blargha blargh

**noblemountain** · 2012-02-25 22:40

My Krogan soldier with only handguns (200% Cooldown) is a monster. 2.something recharge on Fortification = melee time! My first match with this instead of a shotgun is huge. 25 melee kills in the first 3 waves...died twice. lol I need to quit charging into everything thinking I'm invincible. Not used to this type of game so I'm making all sorts of mistakes and trying to learn from them.

Edit: and I had zero interest in the multiplayer before the demo...I can't stop playing it even though I have 13-2 in the ps3 that I've played for 2 hours tops...I probably have 20 in me3 demo. lol

Ditto. Also, very unexpected that I consider it the best shooter multi I've played in years. I haven't tried Gears horde mode multi, probably should if it's like this.

Buy.com still has ps3 and pc CE. xbox has been gone everywhere for a week.

I like that you think headshots might be hard on the console version but you can't headshot moving targets on the PC...

You're dropping shielded targets that require 3 hs in row as fast as a sniper gun fires without stasis on them? Not no mention stasis on covered or turned targets that only have a sliver of scalp showing to hit.
