Awesome. I have to say the idea of a geth infiltrator with a GPS sounds like "turn about" in a good way. Batarian faces remind me of poo. But I will still play one if I unlock it to check out blade armor. At least you look at the back of their head.

Asari Justicar looks fun with the dome but she has reave, and unless they fixed it that means sufferring with wrum wrum wrum wrum wrum non stop for 20 minutes ever match. I tried to do it with my Drell, but in the end I just felt to bad torturing the entire squad with the sound bug.

Welp pretty lucky so far tonight. Got me a Batarian soldier, a Paladin pistol, and a Stryker(new) assult rifle/grenade launcher. Apparently its supposed to be pretty rocking like Falcon pre nerf.

The Batarian took me a bit to get the swing of, his knife rocket hand attack has very little range but up close it's brutal. Also he does a super man power punch that goes threw anything. Barriers, armor, walls, trucks, rhino's he will punch that crap in the face. Hard. And the blade armor makes you strong like Krogan but when stuff tries to melee you it gets hurt and stunned.

At one point I ran up and punched a full Geth Hunter to death then punched his two trooper buddies so I could get a Rez off on a teamate and only came out with no armor but full health.

Dude can punch. 20 melee kills on silver lawlz.

I take it that means everything's out now? Good, I'll have something to play while TOR is being updated tomorrow. :P

OMG Hunter Mode is awesome.

You can see enemies through walls, smoke and cloaks.

Oh I was wondering what that did. Still have not unlocked a Geth. Though I was in a match with 3 Geth... against Geth last night. Friendly fire drill!

So far the new maps are ok, take a bit of getting used to. At first I was like crap where the hell is the ammo. Where do the mobs spawn? Why am I being shot at in cover?!? But once you get the hang of the good spots to set up or move from point to point on they are pretty cool.

I think my least favorite map is still Firebase Giant. Not because it's a bad map. If people play it right it's a great map. But 9 times out of ten they hang out right in the middle and let mobs spawn from the bottom and the room up top. So what happens is you end up in a meat grinder, cross fire kill zone getting pegged from both sides with no good cover.

When I play it with my Krogan I bodyguard the Infiltrator on the stairs and keep the room to his right clean so he can set up the same cross fire below that the mobs want to do to us. Then the other two people work the bottom across the map. Done like that the map becomes gravy.

Kinda neat how each map has sweet spots for teamwork like that and always a pleasure when you end up on a team with people who get it. Same thing goes for Firebase Dagger. I like to bodyguard the hallways that come into the sniper circle room so the long range guys and do their work without a Geth Hunter giving them a surprise reach around.

But it seems like when I am on my sniper the short range guys never bodygaurd, instead they are below in the courtyard dying on their own, getting mad for no rez and leaving us shorthanded the rest of the match after round 5. Smiley: oyvey

This is all on Silver and above btw. On bronze it does not really matter. I soloed bronze to wave 7 on a level 4 Salarian Engineer just to get him some levels and for kicks.

Ok that's enough rambling for now.

Got Asari Justicar. You can turn her bubble into a bubble that does warp damage to everything in it. Setting it up is tricky, but once you do you can area reave fot lots of combo damage.

Other than that, its a drell Adept with bubbles instead of grenades.

Also beat my marathon ME1-3 on Renegade and the differences were neat. Most notably, Tuchanka, as I killed Wrex in ME1. His alternative is kind of a douche, and Eve died as I had destroyed Malons data, but I was able to trick the Krogan into thinking I cured the genophage while keeping Mordin alive to work on the Crucible, keeping Krogan support, & getting Salarian support too.

I killed the Geth too. You lose rediness, of course, and I felt REALLY bad that Legion died. I also recommend if you go that route in another playthrough, after Tali stops Legion & it gives you the renegade option- use it. His last words still haunt me, but it felt disingenuous using him to kill the Reapers knowing I was going to kill him by destroying them anyway.

I killed Kaiden on the CItidel cause he's annoying. It did not effect me, but I can see how romancing Kaiden/Ashley (which I've never done) would make your dealings with them more interesting.

No real difference (besides a couple hundred points of rediness) for saving the Colelctor base in ME2.

Keeping the Rachni queen alive helps your rediness a bit. They don't betray you, unlike her synthetic counterpart.

Aside from that, I was able to keep Miranda & Zaeed alive unlike my previous playthough & I did Kasumi's mission. My renegade Shep was also a bit of a ***** romancing Liara in ME1, resuming the relationship in ME2, then got busy with Thane in ME2, resumed Liara's relationship in 3, then resumed Thane's via makeout session on the Citidel (losing Liara's), making out with the reporter after Thane's death, then resuming Liara's relationship AGAIN and continueing it to the end. No special dialog during Thane's death for the relationship, though.

I also spent way more time scanning planets, but didn't get any extra CS with alien races near the end. I really wanted to see Elcor troops >.<

With a 98% rediness, my Renegade Shepard survived destroying the Reapers.

Should be fun times. TOR was up freakishly early (considering it was patch day) so I played that instead, because I need to finish the first Chapter on my new server to unlock all the goodies this patch brought. Most of my weekend gaming will probably be dedicated to that, but I do want to try out the new maps.

Oh & for those who care, if you choose Morinth in ME2 you get: a couple of e-mails from her & get to kill her as a Banshee on Earth. She does not take Samara's place in the Banshee mission or appear at all. Poo.

Ahh that's actually quite interesting. I wondered about that. How did you know the Banshee on Earth was her? Does she transform or talk to you or something?

It's more of a "blink or you'll miss it" moment. Especially on Earth on Hardcore.

Random thought.

If, as James claims, krogans and batarians are the "Meat" of the battlefield, would that make turians and humans(perhaps Geth too) the "starch"? And by extension, are asari, drell and quarians the "vegetables"? And the Volus, Hanar, etc. the "garnish".

I got the N7 Shotgun. It's ok but it's no Claymore or GPS.

In other news I pretty much unlocked all the new classes over the weekend. Highlights:

OMFG Ginfiltrator with a GPS in hunter mode cloaked and charged one shots most mobs through shields. It can seriously take off half a brutes life in one shot with my GPS IV. Everything else I just walk up and one shot it on silver. But the hunter mode visual effect... my eyes they bleed. So I can only take it for short periods of time.

On the Gingineer if you spec your turret for DPS/Flamethrower it's pretty amazing. Works a bit like a Salarian Engineer decoy in that it pisses off everything. But the damage is very respectable. I skipped eye bleed mode on him for full DPS everything else.

Krogan BMaster is fun but feels a bit kumbersome. I prefer my Krogan Soldier with Karnage and Claymore VI. Also Claymore is sick, sick, sick. It was pretty much my discovery of awesomeness for the weekend. I had been a big advocate of the GPS but it gets boring and having to hold the charge non stop gets old. Claymore on a Krogan Soldier is a site to behold. Put the choke and the barrel on it and you can head shot from surprising range. Combine it with a low cooldown karnage and it good good times.

Batarians are fun. I decided that the blade attack on the soldier was not worth worrying about weight though and just speced him full defense and +200% cooldown with a Widow VII and a Claymore VI. He is deadly at any range and tough as nails I like him too. Powers? Who needs um when you are packing heat like that?

The Batarian Sentinal I still have not gelled with. The net is kind a fun but the soldier seems more solid.

Got the Asari Justicar, which I already had. Then did 4 more silvers to get the coin for another pack &....Asari Adept: which I also already had.

Got the Black Widow II, a new shotgun (Wraith?) thats not as good as the Geth one, the Harpoon Sniper Rifle, & the Geth SMG as well... but I don't need them.

>.<
