curious to see if anyone claimed their victory pack yet?

I see we cleared over 3,000,000

I failed to get extracted in a Silver match versus the Reaper faction, but my squad mate was extracted. Will I still receive a Commendation Pack?

Yes.


This happened the other day, the extraction timer was at 10 seconds and I was the last person alive when I got knocked out. You best believe I was spamming A and when the timer hit zero we got a victory

I don't think I got it.

My weapon packs haven't had shite in them and I've been stuck on bronze up until late Sunday. I think I got two silver extractions, but not against the reapers.

I'm sitting at level 66 and still only have the Mantis sniper. I've purchased prolly a dozen spectre packs.

WTF am I doing wrong here guys?

I just go with veteran packs.

3 vetran packs tend to land me more useful items and upgrades than 1 spectre pack.

Spectre packs are good if you need a level three ammo upgrade, which are insanely useful if you're taking on gold/silver challenges.

Spectre packs are your best bet for solid weaponry. I'm too impatient and I always go for Veterans, however.

The weapon lottery just seems to despise you is all.

I'm in the 90's on my N7 level and I'm still rocking the Mantis, so I feel your pain. I've unlocked a ton of characters, but not many weapons worth getting excited about.

Truthfully, the weapon lottery is the only thing that keeps me playing. I hate it, but I love it at the same time. There aren't enough maps and enemy types to keep things interesting IMO. It's so satisfying when you get an unlock that's worth a shite.

I got the Graal Spike Thrower in my first spectre pack and I'm still rocking that bad boy. Charging that thing up + adrenaline rush means I can take out a brute on silver all by my lonesome.

Yeah, I was doing that at first and wasn't getting shite, so I started holding out for spec packs. I did get the Falcon, which is pretty cool, but nothing else.

My freind is only level 40 and has better weapons. He laughs every time I get shite on after buying a pack. It's kind of a running joke right now.

I haven't tried the Spike Thrower with a soldier yet. that + adrenaline rush sounds borderline unfair.

I typically use it when I'm running around with my krogan sentinel. Although he's generally 95% berserker melee rage and 5% fire support.

I think you're right, but I've never won any game of chance.

I have leveled my Mantis up to level 10 though. It works well with my level 20 Krogan infiltrator and Falcon on Silver.

Meh, frick weapons.

I don't even use them on my vanguard really. I have one pistol in case shite hits the fan, but usually Biotic Charge + Nova messes the majority of shite up in Silver.

Always fun charging a Banshee or Brute.

everybody uses Vanguard in the lobbies I go to.

Renders my krogan melee fun-time useless. Which is why I run infiltrator now. I snipe everything before the biotic charges get out of control. And going invisible makes picking up fallen vanguards a snap. Seems like for every good vanguard, there's about 40 shitty ones.

And you gotta be careful charging banshees and phantoms. I learned that lesson first hand. one hit melee deaths are no bueno.

I've finally learned this about halfway thru ME1. I always get my arse kicked b/c I shoot over and over and over.

Once chick kept kicking my arse while Thorian Creeeprs gang rush me. Warp + Lift + Overkill = that bitch was dead before she turned the corner

I'm also Vanguard fwiw. Single player obviously. Never played MP on this game. I didn't think it would be any fun

The last thing many vanguards see is a Banshee. They'll charge a group of cannibals and then "teammate is down"

it's very repetitive, but I'll take any extra content since I've lost all desire to replay the single player.

but I won't get into that can of worms here.

Yeah, I found that out the hard way. My Krogan was busting brute arse, so I got cocky and charged one of them banshees. I was like WTF when the bitch yanked me up off the ground and choked my arse out.

I agree.

Majority of people I've played with are borderline retarded.

I'm trying to pump through the single player again on Insanity, but with the difficulty and shitty ending; it's going to take me a while to finish.

ETA: What is yall's favorite race/class combo?

I love the human vanguard, but the drell adept is getting more and more fun.

Bitch'll scoop up a krogan as if he were nothing at all.

pretty impressive. Mutated asari have crazy upper body strength, it would seem.

I take it you were disappointed with ME3?

I think once I finish all three I'll be done. I'm not one who replays a single player campaign or rpg, regardless of how good it is or the multiple options in terms of final ending/outcome. Just too many games out there to play and I don't put in a ton of time playing the ones I have now. I've been playing ME1 for over a month now. 30 minutes one day, an hour the next, 3 hours one day, don't play for 4 days....pretty much how it goes with every game I play.
