Mass Effect 3 Discussion Thread

On a side note, has anyone ever been hit while trying to fire a rocket? I was trying to take out 3 Geth Primes at once (and had a clear shot) but I was hit by something while firing the rocket, and the damn thing shot straight into the sky like a flare. :lol:

So many times...

And I'm one of those guys with everything unlocked who plays like a buffoon so we probably should never play together :lol:

It's something to do with the EA servers. It seems to be happening to others as well.

I've had two WTF things happen to me:

1) Missile threads the needle, by flying through the gap between a Banshee's arm and body

2) I committed suicide

Better not happen to me - I just hit 3500 yesterday after getting just over 1000 from my SP playthrough.

As for items (rockets, etc), I've never used any except some occasional Medi-Gel. But then so far I have only played Bronze. How much harder is Silver? What are the differences? I might try it tonight with my level 20 Engineer.

I'll join you if I'm on.
 
Speaking of getting hit while doing stuff...I died while trying to grab ammo after getting picked up I couldnt get any ammo from any crate for the rest of the game. But....my pistol never glitched and never needed to be reloaded.

I really wish I had some auto gun because I was raping people without having to stop to reload every 10 seconds. Best glitch ever.

human soldier, geth smg, heat sink V, extended thermal clip V...pop ARush when you finally empty your clip. you will probably fire about 800 rounds before you need to get ammo again...let along 300-400 rounds before you need to reload.

Yeah this happened to me. I was like :?:
 
I'll be getting on probably in an hour or so if anyone's interested.

I played as a vanguard or whatever class it is that has that Nova+whatever combo. Did Bioware make that combo worse by making it take a while for the first attack to happen? I eventually got used to it, but I felt like I had to press that button for the charge attack a couple times before it actually happened. It can't be my controller, because the button's responsive when I play with other classes or games.

It seems to depend on the distance and an unexplained math equation of the hit box location, the gravity of teh map, time zone, geting shot, amount of guys near you, and your amount of friends on facebook... but yeah i have noticed it too.
 
Played 6 hours of ME3 after work today, woot for the weekend. So I unlocked the Harpoon gun and let me just tell you how much laughter ensued afterwards. Played with Ninja and his friends. Apparently getting the perfect timing down with a harpoon headshot and biotic explosions (there might have been a biotic charge there too (man I wish ME3 had a replay editor like Halo Reach)) causes a nemesis to go flying into the ocean, (as we were on Hyrda at the time). The harpoon gun is pretty deadly but fair warning you have to be accurate lol.

Was playing as my new Salarian Engineer (had unlocked but hadn't started) and let me tell you Energy Drain really helps as a precursor to lining up those shots. I also Energy Drained a Cerberus trooper and then a teammate statis him so after he got shocked and curled up he was stuck there behind cover. Lol it was beniffical to him because nobody could hit him as his current state.

Also man Decoy saved our ass a few times to the point where I could revive my other 3 teammates.
Unlocked the Asari Adept but more importantly a +1 capacity to Cobra Missiles from the PSP. Hot, I didn't know you could increase that! Pretty cool, multiplayer still feels fresh.

I'm unlocking sniper rifles left and right. I have that harpoon gun and 3 others. But I have yet to get a second Assault Rifle and that is my weapon of choice. I just can't see myself being effective with just a few steady shots - I'm always on the move and trying to blast things. I haven't even gotten a second SMG. Oh yeah, and I have like 3 or 4 shotguns which is the other one I never use.
 
Carnifex = pistol, sniper rifle, and badassery combined in one package. with the Asari Adept/Vanguard on Bronze you can stasis then one shot any regulars, then stasis and 2-3 shot anything up through phantoms. I had two guys bail on Wave 2, and me and another guy (that camped in a corner the whole time up through last wave) finished the map, granted i had to use all 4 missles and revive him multiple times.
 
I have been playing the infiltrator the past few days and the one thing I am starting to hate about it is the other players. When playing I will be racking up kills then next thing I know I have someone in front of me so that I can not see. I have in some games for the first 3 rounds been leading in points by twice as much as the person under me. Next thing I know that person is fallowing me around the map. I have that issue with other classes but I can deal with it but with the infiltrator and trying to aim the sniper rifle it just seems to be more of a pain in the ass. Anyone else have issues like this in some games? I noticed it is more of an issue on weekends when I get to play. It doesn't happen all the time just when I seem to be in the lead by twice as much as the person with the second highest points. If points are all close to each other I don't have the issue.
 
Spamming a maxed out Energy Drain against Geth is loads of fun.

And I think in a Recruit pack I unlocked the new sniper rifle, the Incisor?

Can't say I've had others following me around when playing as an infiltrator. Have occasionally run into the guy that likes running in front of my view as I line up a shot, but I hardly play infiltrator.

I tend to leave infiltrators alone, checking up on them occasionally and throwing a stasis bubble at the choke point they're guarding every now and then.

My biggest pet peeve is how warping an enemy draws a bullseye on the mob.

Three geth troopers, a rocket trooper and warped pyro? Let's kill the glowy guy before he can detonate the biotic explosion!

Yeah that was fun! The best was when you harpooned the nemesis, Simosaurus hit her with a power (can't remember which) and then I heavy melee'd her and she went flying. plus I think we were all just a little slap happy.

I always hate the things like that too. I'm just leveling the infiltrators to 20 then I'm done with them. The Geth isn't bad but their health is just to low. I like the hacking with the Quarian only hate when people have to kill what I hacked. I tried to hack an Atlas thinking it wouldn't work but when it did and I started to get kills with it everyone seemed to want it down. It went from full armor to nothing so fast I thought someone used a rocket on it.

This has happened to me once so far (I even remember the guy's Gamertag), but after that, everything was ok. I think you'll run into the occasional fool who does that, but on the whole, people just want to finish the match ASAP for maximum credits (I hate 25 minute Bronze/Silver matches).

Honestly though, once everyone's level 20, it's hard to care about points anymore since you're not gaining anything for it.
 
I had mine the second day but I did log onto my 360 and open them before work.

Another issue I had a few times with other players when the game first came out was some would change to the class I was playing. I had 2 or 3 games where I was the leader in points each time and would see someone change to the same class I was playing. I would play one game as that class then change to another. After that game they would change to that class. The 2 or 3 times this has happened after I changed the third time I just left. Every time they would be right next to me the games we both played the same class. Would have not mattered if I was level 20 with them but I was trying to get them leveled.

If anyone is interested I might be on after I get back from the Blues game. So about an hour or so after it.
 
Learning to love the Geth Engie. His turret spec'd to heal is pretty nice. Especially when I can see a teammate getting beat on and can launch some shield regen his way.

I can't get over how cool the Batarian Soldier is. My buddy's breaking 110k with him on gold pretty consistently. Those blades are nuts.

Battlemaster's still a blast. I did finally get to experience my very own Vanguard glitch though! Yay for flying off of the level!

it's because he embraces the beauty.

the geth heal engine (See what I did there) is great, other reason why it seems so nice is...it's not a purely offensive power. there's really only 2 support powers in the game and even bubble sphere is passive.

Butt_soldier is awesome, I've been having a great time w/the Butt_sent as well. The web/melee is a lot of fun...visually and effectively. I didn't know it did dmg as well. Hoping they make another MP DLC pack, even if it's just cosmetic changes and more wpns.

...and fix friggin vanguard charge/death bug.
 
Gonna run my buddy back home through the crash course tonight. Definitely some bronze, maybe some silver. If any of you guys see me on, hop on in to the party. Good time to experiment! GT: Action Kazimer

Kinda wanna try my Turian Soldier/Marksman with this Striker VIII. See how grenade rain looks. Wanna work on offensive Justicarin' too.
 
okay...got the Geth Infiltrator. W/hunter mode and the normal bonuses cloaking give, I made even the Raptor a viable sniper rifle for this class (gold).

You just provided me with my Monday morning at-work listening material. Thanks! !!

Also, I got my raptor packs the day they came out, that evening. I imagine they'll have to give the community a double bonus this week for those that got screwed.
 
I have been ripping it up lately mostly because the way people play this game fucking bores me to tears.....

I dont really mind vs the geth of firebase white (??) a million times but the complete over the top defensive play style that everyone seems to have jumped on is pure shitty Mcshit Sandwhich. I just played this game and we lost in the 10 wave...stats? Soodmeg 103 kills....next only had his 50 kill badge. Booted for not being a team player. Now I die a LOT...LOT...seriously...A LOT but 2 things...one I figure if I take out the first 20 guys in a round while everyone else takes out 10 I can get a little credit. 2nd, maybe if you didnt spend the entire round taking piss ant pot shots at everything we could get through the round quicker and easier.

I played a match once as a aggressive melee shotgun Krogan with another Vanguard Krogan and we were tearing it up working closely as a team. He would stumble everyone with a rush and I would clean them up.....fun fun fun. The times in which be both went down...our teams.....in the corner....take 1 shot every 5 seconds..

Sometimes a great offense can overtake a good defense......also...I cant shake my head enough when I see someone get down by a Geth Pyro who walked across the level and stuck the flame up their ass. So committed to that corner you will let a cqc guy walk right up to you..

I just dont get the....pick a spot, stay there at all cost thing.
 
Major glitch was shared with me by friends.
Rinse & Repeat lots of credits for minimal effort (if you've got the skill)
Play on bronze up to wave 10. Finish the objectives and have everybody die.
Redo the same map on Gold this time and have the leader leave in the beginning. Send an invite back to them for them to join in later.
In the meantime since the host has left this resets the game. However when it starts again the game starts on wave 10!??!! Complete the objectives and die, 45K!? Rinse and Repeat... it's like the warp gate glitch in Super Mario.

Commander Shepard deletes glitches like this on the way to real errors. N7 means earning your credits one dead Reaper at a time :)
 
Wow, when I unlocked the krogan vanguard, I had just promoted the class, so I didn't have much to work with. Played some games today, got the class back up to 17, I think, and...my God...he is a freakin' death machine.
 
Dammit, I had some connection problems Friday evening and then none at all last night. But now I just got booted from a game we were cleaning up on and now it instantly says the ME3 servers are not available when I try to reconnect. Usually it thinks about it for a bit but it just says it instanty now. They must be done for real.

I was hoping to get another Premium Spectre pack but they probably won't be around when I play late Wednesday night.

Lol, does having a N7 polo shirt and playing since Mass Effect 1 not quality me as being N7. :cry: Lol, I've pretty much jumped on this for a change in variety for the multiplayer (I can hold my own 10 waves on Silver).
 
I'm hoping they finally straighten out the previous community pack fiasco. I'd like my DLC character pack (Granted I've finally unlocked all of them...but I needs more appearance options).

I've heard the Harpoon gun is bugged, so sometimes you'll deal intended damage and sometimes you're firing a toothpick at brutes. Looking fwd to the bug fixes...all of them.

I don't see how it's a change in variety when you're playing bronze and then taking additional objectives for a gold payout rather than just playing gold
