[Megathread] Mass Effect 3

[Deleted]

There's never anything cool going on in Denmark.

You should just submit to your swedish overlords.

Hah, never!

Hah, never!

Oh please, you are just our continental outpost incase the germans try something again.

I got the volus engineer last night. Weird class. His melee abilities are cloak and shield bubble. So far I don't like him very much because he can't crouch behind things or lean out from cover which are pretty basic things. Its ok on bronze if you're just laying bombs and running away but it absolutely sucks on gold when you spend so much time surrounded and locked down. You can't cover so you just die on repeat.

Threw this together today. I'd vote for them before voting for either Obama or Romney. Link goes to original size without compression artifacts.

Damn Praetorian sucking me in... no way was that melee range.

Odd, it says Shepard but its just some random useless woman pictured.

No wonder my crib on the normandy is always kept so clean, its that maid being a cleaning ninja.
But why is she taking Shepards name? A longlost relative?

[kivipää]

Only true Shepard is a black chick who looks early twenties in ME1 but scarred mid-30's in ME3.

N7 Shadow works alot better as a shadow strike assasin without the FBWGG farming...
One-shotting gold dragoons and finishing off gold Phantoms/Collector Commanders with one shot from my Piranha
Reapers/Geth are a pain, Brutes causing damage as they fall/Ravager&Banshee explosions mess you up and screw rocket troopers/geth turrets...

[Very Tired]

Does Mass Effect link Xbox online players and PC online players together in the same match together? Does any game do this?

[Nerraw]

There's no cross-platform functionality in ME3.

[Rukh]

Oh man, it would be pretty unfair to pit controllers vs mouse/keyboard.

Yeah, I never got into console gaming so whenever I played Halo on a friends Xbox, I sucked at it. I can do fine with a mouse and keyboard though.

[Oerba Yun Fang]

Keyboard + mouse is simply vastly superior.

Keyboard + mouse is simply vastly superior.

Indeed it is, but it lacks the feeling.
Its like getting augmented.

Halloween MP challenge!

Unnerving reports from the front indicate that the Collector reinforcements are more numerous than we feared. At this point, we do not know if our numbers are accurate or if psychological warfare is at work. We need to engage the enemy to assess their true strength.

Halloween Challenge – Complete the three Halloween challenges to earn the Halloween Challenge Banner.

Ghostbuster: Requires 5 extractions on Firebase Ghost or Firebase Ghost Hazard

Zombie Hunter: Requires 7500 points against husks/abominations.

Monster Killer: Requires 10000 points against brutes/scions/praetorians/banshees.

All challenges can be completed on any map at any difficulty.
