I back read some emails. I now know what Alex is talking about. It does seem like there is a small announce coming today. Stay tuned.

Eurgh, nevermind. Apparently it's just about a Mass Effect armor in Dead Space 3. -.-

Yea it's good. Not quite on the level of shadow broker or overlord but real close and real compelling. definetly the best me3 dlc and better than the two me1 dlcs.

I think the game might have had a better feeling if we had a few more missions on Earth. Something that would explain a contingency plan.

Without any news of new dlc or any compelling games to play now. I'm really hoping that I can go forward in time to get SimCity.

Yeah that has always been a big part of why I disliked the whole ending and stuff. The final mission on earth should have been much bigger and more epic. You know maybe multiple missions that required you to deploy your gathered forces and thus weaken the reapers.

Some sort of important decisions like in the suicide mission would have been epic. For example: You gathered the Rachni and Krogan clans and have to send them to the right front and it matters how many units they loose (much like the team mates that die in ME2 if wrongly deployed).

At least some more missions would have been super cool. I mean just destroying 2 reapers and a bunch of troops is kinda bland if you ask me.

BTW: I am still waiting for a solid reason why the Normandy was not able to just fly to the beam and drop Shepard off with a Mako like in Illos. After they redid the ending and added that scene where the Normandy hovers in front of Harbinger for like 5 minutes without being shot down. They could have added the real mission on the citadel.

Let´s say Joker drops Shepard off in front of the beam and he then goes to the citadel and has to fight through lots of enemies and stuff to reach the citadel controls.

The final mission I dream of would be this: The fleet enters the Sol system and Shepard boards a single-seater fighter (Trident or stuff) and you then have to defeat several enemies (much like Halo 4) I mean real SPACE COMBAT !! So after this has done the Normandy takes Shep to the beam and he enters it with his squad. On the citadel he discovers that it is infested with reaper forces and several Cererbus troops (incl. TIM) and maybe 2 reapers or stuff. After fighting to the citadel controls he deploys the crucible and destroys the reapers (of course he survives onboard of the Normandy).

Or what the fuck: He takes a fighter and goes to the citadel directly (like Didact´s ship in Halo 4) ... Much better than the current earth mission.

If you ask me then the utter lack of space combat is just stupid and I hope that it will be added to ME4.

Imagine Shepard in a fighter and Anderson radios "Do a barrel roll" Now that would be EPIC !!! (Legendary Star Fox quote )

Dem thread is dead? Me have to reanimate da thread

Here it comes !!!

Sounds like people want a teaser about the upcoming DLC? We'll see what we can do
5:09 PM - 21 Jan 13

Teaser about upcoming DLC? yes please!

I havent played much mass effect since im doing another sc2 campaign playthrough. Hots comming soon!



The reason this thread is so slow now is because Gravath is banned. They seriously need to stop banning him all the time.

Yeah I totally feel bad for him to be honest. He just likes to be offensive and use words that some mods here don't like to see.

If you are straight on these boards then the chance for a ban is pretty high. If the mods in here knew me in RL then they would ban me for excessive RL swearing

BTW: Have not played ME3 at all since Omega came out so I am looking forward to another DLC so that there is something to do at last. I'd say they go for an early March release because that would fit with the 1 year anniversary of ME3.

No official news yet, though the coming DLC may very well be the last since the team had the very last get-together for ME3 the other day.

I have never played so many flawless Silver matches before... Hardly anyone is dying.

I believe that this upcoming SP DLC is gonna be the last big ME3 DLC. The fact that there would be 3 big DLCs for both ME3 and ME2 clearly reinforces this theory.

ME2 had 3 big DLCs namely Lair, Arrival and Overlord. ME3 would have 3 big ones too with Leviathan, Omega and the upcoming.

However this won´t be the last ME3 SP DLC at all. First of all they still need to bring the second half of the Alternative Outfit DLC for the rest of the squad and then I could imagine some small ones like the Armor DLCs ME2 had (Cerberus armor, Inferno Amor ...) and maybe some smaller content DLCs like Firewalker.

I only hope that this final ME3 DLCs manages to put a honorable double bar under Shepard´s story throughout the 3 games and hopefully also under his crew´s and friend´s story.

The fact that every DLC writer is working on that piece only confirms that this is hopefully gonna be amazing and with lots of crew/squad involvement and good story.

Hey everyone, just a heads up that there won't be any balance changes tomorrow. Due to time constraints, balance changes will only occur every second week from now on.

Our next balance update should be the week of January 27th (next week).

Operation BALLISTIC (Jan 25th-27th)

Event Description: Recon has new estimates on the number of Reaper creatures, and the news is dire. Each of you must inflict as many casualties as possible, and we must destroy husk-creation mechanisms like Dragon’s Teeth. If we fail to accomplish this, we will be even more outnumbered in the coming days.

Individual Goal: Earn any gold weapon medal (Assault Rifle/Heavy Pistol/Shotgun/Sniper Rifle/Submachine Gun).

Reward: Commendation Pack

Well then!

i just bought 1 million worth of equipment packs, gotta love having so much equipment!


I came to think about something. If you hack an atlas on MP does it "grab" an enemy for the insta kill like it does to players?

Atlas' only grab right after a melee, and because the hack duration is so short on it you're unlikely to ever have it happen.
Try hacking it right after it goes for a melee on a player?

just tried in a platinum match. Atlas can not be hacked at all with or without shields. All geth units can though.

Did something funny with hack just now. Hacked a pyro at spawn and it completly pwned 2 ravagers.

Platinum spawns all kinds of enemies, not just your main enemy.

Ah, cool. Didn't know that.

[RoboA]

Ah, cool. Didn't know that.

You should try it sometime, its great fun.

Just put on some equipment so it looks like you know what you are doing. Good people should be able to carry you anyway

[The Illusive Man]

Ah, cool. Didn't know that.

Yeah when I first saw a platinum tutorial video on youtube I was like "WTH, was that a Phantom?? I thought he plays against Geth??" then after a short while I was like "HELL Banshees?? What kind of sorcery is this??".

Then someone told me that on platinum all kind of extra enemies show up even if you only play against Geth

Regarding the tease Mike Gamble promised us a few days ago:

Chris Priestly

Created about 14 hours ago

Any sign of The Tease?

"We're not likely to be talking much about the next DLC till around the middle of next month when the content is better locked. Obviously that could change and be a little earlier or later, but as a rough guideline, mid-Feb or so."

So I am 10000% sure that this DLC will get released at the beginning of March because it is the last DLC which BW Edmonton (the ME creators and developers) EVER do !!

All future DLCs (minor ones) and ME4 will be developed by BW Montreal (they created Omega DLC).

The 1 year anniversary for ME3 is on March 6 for the US and March 9 for the EU so be ready for a brand new DLC by then
