Be careful with that controller. I vaguely recall BioWare considering mods to be a light bannable offense. Just don't quote me on it.

Thanks for the warning. Does anybody have any info on this? Is there even a way for Bioware to detect a rapid fire controller? Someone could just have a fast trigger finger...

Also, I want to add that I'd never use it in a competitive MP (which I never play anyway).

I have a friend who's been using one since ME3 came out, for the multiplayer, and he's not been banned. I believe he's around 2100+ N7 ranking now. He likes to use it with the Mattock. So.. I assume it's not a big offense.

I got my victory pack but no commendation pack even though I met the goal.

Because I love sharing:

Commendation packs are usually dispersed later

Here's the math, plain and simple:

2 Spectre Packs = 120,000 crds.
1 PSP = 99,000 crds.

So, if you buy 3 Spectre Packs = 180,000 crds. for a total of 3 Rares (guaranteed). 2 PSPs = 198,000 crds for a total of 4 Rares (guaranteed), with 18,000 leftover. Oh yes, and the PSP has a higher chance for Ultras (not sure how much higher).

Again though, it's all down to luck of the draw.


Also, damn Crusader. Broke my Valiant streak. Get off my leg dammit!

Haha I read that as


Gear being permanent, damn did I miss the memo!?

Yep, the new gear slot is permanent. Keep it on and rock away.

And that she dies.

Great find on the tunes, eX. I love me some 8 bit.

From my packs I got a Hurricane (II now) and the Crusader. Also got my Vorcha soldier. That guy is a lot of fun and can tear down a Brute or Atlas with ease when I have the flamer + reeger shotgun equipped, followed by a carnage chaser should I need to reload.

Spy, you were right on that the Vorcha are Brute hunters!

Yeah I know right, flame on! lol The problem I have with the Vorcha I kill someone and he goes all rage stretch out body animation, meanwhile I'm getting pummeled with bullets so he gets out of cover and dies or goes to very low health (before I can kill something) ahh. That and I always want to melee everything and the melee in this game just isn't there. They'll be times when the AI just moves an inch and I will miss plus it seems it's almost pointless on higher difficulties because they melee you first. I hate that, as much as I do having to focus on hitting the Spec Ops Right D-pad because yeah it doesn't ever activate when I click it (and I have the silver upgraded controller too).

Yeah so I grabbed my Victory and Commendation Pack and got Crusader, Hurricane (everyone I talked to online didn't like it but I do as long as you anticipate the recoil it'll rip into enemies) and the Male Quarian! Also bought mostly SPs and 1 PSP and got the Geth Pulse Rifle (finally), upgraded Viper (meh), upgraded Eagle (cool), upgraded Widow (woo), and got more gear.

Did a Gold run, with full equipment (Gear I had increased sniper rifle dmg) lol, with a random group. We were all Quarians Infiltrators haha (2 male/2 female) and we happened to go against the Geth, went against Unknown anyway, and was able to finish that. Man though, Geth Hunters are not a problem usually but on Gold they f'n suck. They're just sitting there not attacking you and all of a sudden they go all ape shit while you're trying to fend off pyros and Primes.

I read that the problems with the D-pad go much deeper than requiring a stronger press (like with the Silver). Supposedly, the way the D-pad is shaped on the circuit board is the problem and a simple fix won't cut it.

those bastards thought they'd be cute and give me an Eagle. Great pistol but they've been giving me the Valiant every pack up to IV, I was hoping they'd continue w/that trend.

ex-cerberus vanguard, so much fun. Smash is insane, lash is insane...makes you wish throw, pull, carnage, nova, all that has faster protectile speeds and effects. Got the quarian infiltrator as well but he's lvl 1 due to the promoting challenge.

great additions. it'll be hard to top these in the next dlc pack...if anything, the enemy might need some new upgrades. Like shield & barrier generators.

I dunno. It was a step up from S5 for me. But then, I would have been content staring at rocks for a season after that shit.

I still don't have a single damned Phoenix character. I want that Vanguard so bad.

Also, I think shield generators could be really sick. Especially if they had the tactical advantage that they do in campaign, what with overtaking them and using them yourself and all. Could even be a little "Press A to Hack" event that causes enemies to target it once you turn it; keep it balanced.

It was definitely a step down from the first four seasons, but I thought it was still pretty decent. Julia Stiles did a good job with her role I thought. Season 6 just had nothing redeeming about it at all.

great news on shockwave and smash, even the saber...i might actually dust that thing off and use it. the rest is reasonable, as it seemed that's all what ppl were using lately.

iank...the vanguard's hvy melee is him lashing, his quick melee is a stun tonfa/baton. easily my new favorite class, you dont even need biotic charge. smash is hilarious...is more rewarding than beauty punching. i played w/jelks last night for 1 game, he was all excited..then when i said i had to leave to get dinner and pick up my girl, he got all sad and quiet. haha. i think im the only xbl'er that doesn't disagree with everything his says.

I got my victory pack and commendation pack. The victory pack had an Eagle 1 and the commendation pack had an Eagle 2. I would have preferred two upgrades to my Geth Plasma Shotgun but a new N7 weapon is good too.
