^Yeah, think I first needed to swap discs on my 3rd mission.

moreso since I installed both discs on my 360, still needed to do the swapping. Couldn't they just check if it's a ME3 disc...

Just finished my 2nd playthrough on Insanity a couple days ago and now I'm just messing around on MP until they release whatever DLC is supposed to "fix" the endings. I got all of the achievements so far and I'm thinking Bioware really wanted people to focus on the story a lot more since the achievements were really easy to get. My final achievement was "Overload Specialist" which I got after playing a handful of matches with my level 20 Turian Sentinel (I averaged about a couple dozen or so Overloads a match).

I just recruited her in 2! pretty cool

^ Cool indeed!

Now we need EDI from ME3 IRL!

^ Tricia Helfer in Battlestar Galactica is just as good a place as any!

Here's my secret shame, I'm playing ME3 multiplayer more than single player at the minute. Just promoted my Vanguard to the single player campaign. Kinda funny how everyone in single player is like 'We're not ready, we have to prepare!' but my galatic readiness across all galaxies right now is about 90-95%. They're hella ready to fight!

And because of the multiplayer, it's really easy to get achievements now, as you can mix and match between using different classes rather than having to get some through multiple single player playthroughs.

^ I know, and her in the fighter pilot outfit was something to see, but I that was not ME3...

Same here. I never thought I would spend a great amount of time on MP. The fact that they're gonna be releasing some MP DLC very soon has me excited to try out the other races for each class (as well as the new map(s)). I was pretty much done with SP after my 2nd playthrough due to the ending(s). I just promoted all of my classes yesterday to get my N7 rank past 120 (it's around 200 right now). However, it's been pretty grudgingly difficult at times to get through some Bronze and Silver matches since I mostly save up credits for the Premium Spectre Packs to unlock the rare loot rather than spend on a bunch of Recruit and Veteran packs to load up on equipment. I also loved how the achievements could be unlocked with a mix of SP and MP. It would take quite a few SP playthroughs to kill 5,000 enemies whereas in MP, it's only about 100 battles (more or less depending on skill). That's why for the "Overload Specialist" achievement, I went into MP with a Turian Sentinel since it was a lot faster than starting another playthrough (it only took me maybe about a few hours of MP game time as opposed to maybe half a playthrough at 15 hours).

I play through MP every so often, amazing how low your readiness drops each day you don't play it. I do kinda hate prestiging my characters to zero out all their skills.

TeriyakiBoi · « **Reply #328 on:** April 08, 2012, 08:16:39 AM »

If you're a hardcore gamer like some of the people I've seen online, you could "prestige" at least one character in a day (I actually did that with the Soldier class). Otherwise, if you're pretty casual, it takes about a weekend to do it I think (I can go from level 1-14 after a handful of good matches with the 5% extra exp from max GR and some "assistance" from the Premium Spectre Packs). But yeah, I think the GR drops maybe like 4-5% a day since I once went without playing ME3 for a few days and my GR dropped from 99-100% down to around 80-something%. However, it does drop 1% within an hour which forces people to kinda play at least one match to upkeep the GR. Some have said that the GR doesn't decrease if you do Origin in "Offline Mode" but I haven't really had the initiative to try it.

Never had that problem so far. The only real complaint I have with multiplayer is the lack of a mute player option. Which has led to one match with nothing but "BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" from a person's mic the whole time.

The Resurgence pack is not now. Free too. Here's what to expect:

I did too. However, I find it as bad as Adrenaline Rush. Honestly, the Javelin has a better firing rate and is a little more accurate. As for the new characters from the pack, I've only unlocked the Krogan Battlemaster so far. I guess if you're an expert Krogan player, then the Battlemaster makes one helluva Vanguard. Otherwise, it's still as much cannon fodder as the Krogan Soldier is (especially on Silver and Gold).

New maps AND Krogan Vanguard and Geth Infiltrator? ffffffffffffffff Kinda wish I kept the game now.

They may be cannon fodder but they are a lot of fun.

I don't doubt that playing as a Krogan is fun, and I get the charge is a super useful move and very handy to have but seriously, I'm always pissed off when I see one in my team. Because in my experience, the Krogan players just charge around the battlefield straight into enemies and using this move. And for the vast majority of times the fucker ends up stealing my kills. But on top of it all, and the thing that annoys me most, is that when it comes to objective based rounds, they just don't even care and go for anywhere else but go for the objective. Incredibly annoying, especially if you're doing the objective about having to hold an area down on Silver difficulty and you've got 3 players hacking instead of 4, and the idiot inevitably rushes right into a large group and gets his ass killed. *sigh*

So I finished ME3 \o/ ~~..... now what the hell just happened?~~

Oh and about the crashing it's the PC version I'm playing, very buggy in multiplayer, single player too tends to crash

Yeah, I've seen some Krogan players like that online. Most of the time I don't even think about rezzing them unless I'm right next to them and there's no enemies within my "visual radius". Otherwise, I stay focused on the objective and let the other guys rez them if they want. As for playing Krogan myself, it probably is fun if I can get used to the lack of mobility. Honestly, I could've avoided at least 50% of the deaths I incurred by ROLLING out of the way. Nothing pisses me off like playing as a Krogan and TRYING to avoid a Phantom that moves towards you twice as fast as you move.

As for the technical issues of the game, I only crashed out of the game in SP twice (once on Eden Prime due to the consistent glitch involving the terminals and another time much later in the game). But MP has so many issues it isn't funny. I feel for the people who spam the hell out of Biotic Charge because they end up getting stuck. It really pissed me off when it took the AI like 10 goddamn minutes to kill our surviving teammate because he was stuck after spamming Biotic Charge. I literally wanted to leave the game and forfeit the exp and credits that were earned. Also, the game suffers from horrible lag and god-awful "hit detection". I could've gotten at least 5-10% more kills if it weren't for EA's shitty servers.
