    Access to the design and access to the production facilities are two entirely different things. Maybe I worded it poorly.

    Now a Harvester would be a fun challenge.

    I love killing those things, just for the explosion.

    I love the sound they make when they blow up.

    Speaking of missing components, i am annoyed by the lack of heavy weapons in ME3.
    You got a goddamn missile launcher at the very start of ME2 as you wake up from death, but you dont get anything heavier than a shotgun in ME3.

    I dont count say, firing the MC-920 Cain twice with a very drunken swirly flightpattern on the earthmission as having it.
    Because you dont have it. Its a mission-only situational Kill-Everything-Button that you borrow.

    They wanted Eve. Controlling the one fertile Krogan is a powerful tool. They could amass an army of male krogan to do their bidding, they could create their own cure that creates slaves. Or they could have created some unknown super soldier hybrid out of it.

    Perhaps they were inferior designs? And Turians made better designs? The collectors don't have a bunch of little ships. You pretty much destroy all their ships which is why you have to face the Occular devices.

    Really? Because all they basically do is stand there for X seconds until they fly off. They really aren't challenging at all, unless you count the other things attacking you while you try to destroy the harvester first challenging.

    True, but TIM is not even mentioned, much less seen. And I think if the movie were to be based on ME1, they'd follow the Saren/Sovereign plot and ignore the side missions.

    Yeah sure, in SP they usually fly away after a while, but if they remained and shot at you, they'd be like an OP Ravager. If BioWare perhaps had them flying around while shooting at you, moving from place to place in MP, then they do have potential to be deadly.

    Ah yes, Oaf Shepard, the canon ME hero that stumbles through the galaxy to save it in the worst possible way he can trip over.
    We will be watching the default ME2 start in the making.

    Thats like saying i own a car because i borrowed a friends car for 15 min to buy a couch.

    I was just reminded that the Leviathan is the Levi of Dis that Balak goes on about that it killed the batarians and all that.
    Now if you play the DLC before he shows up, then you should have the option to tell Balak "Oh hes with us now. Cool guy really."

    Don't see anything about owning Heavy Weapons here.... You only said you wish ME3 had heavy weapons. Well, it did have heavy weapons. But you couldn't equip them. And yes, it was annoying they did it this way.

    Since we are getting all picky, i never said ME3 didnt have HWs, it lacked them.
    As in, there wasnt nearly close to having a sufficient supply at hand to actually have fun with them.
    Fun being the keyword here as its a game.

    Oh man...

    Just soloed a MP PUBLIC match because no one else joined for some reason... very fun to do it with only a Mattock V. Thank GOD for chain overload.

    Don't have a pic because of PS3 but here's the debriefing:

    Firebase Giant
    Geth
    Bronze

    19 Turian Sentinel 153833 Score
    5 Grabs
    15 Melee kills
    75 Kills
    20 Headshots
    75 Assault Rifle kills
    10 Tech kills

    I really wonder why no one else joined the match... oh well.

    would be fun if missile launchers were replaced with mc-920 cains in the platinum difficulty

    Pfft, screw Cains, I want a Reaper Blackstar.

    Would be interesting if on Platinum difficulties there would be an enemy supply drop that you could secure, giving your team the heavy weapon associated with the enemy type you're facing. Blackstar for Reapers, Spitfire for Geth, and Cain for Cerberus. Would have to balance it so the enemies necessitated the use of all four players utilizing the weapons, and would have to make sure there is no friendly fire with weapons like the Cain and Blackstar so you don't end up with people rushing to the supply drop and then killing the entire team.

    This could be pretty cool if used in conjunction with something like Harvesters or Colossi. Having the whole team needing to use their heavy weapons to get it down.

    And if you really wanted to limit the weapons to just one per drop, require the rest of the team to provide covering fire for the person firing the heavy weapon so they don't get torn up. All three of them require some sort of charge up time to do any real damage, so you would need to keep the person with the weapon safe.

    I really, really hope they're gonna release an ME title with a co-op campaign some day. Or at least co-op scenarios. There's so much epic stuff they can do with the universe. I can't believe people think we've seen the last of Mass Effect.

    Eh, I just think we're done with the current story arc. Shepard's story is done.

    I agree that the Mass Effect universe is large and rich enough to support quality side stories, though.
