I just purged ME3 and (much better) lolrigin from my hard drive - yep another retirement thread! It was not an easy decision but there's too much real life stuff to take care of. And this game is simply much to addictive. Anyway, I'd like to thank you nerdy lot for teaming up with me on my way through a very special time of my life. Actually I was never a gamer, but Mass Effect in general and the ME3MP especially hooked me like no other game. Hours of fighting, cursing, laughing, sweating, raging or just relxing while killing stuff. I met great gamers, I guess I had the pleasure to play with some of the best in the world. I met great people, who made me laugh or made me want to be better or just kept reviving me although I was not able to hold myself for 10 seconds. I met friends. My best wishes, regards and a big Thanks goes out to you guys, especially the group still active in the Challenge thread, Gold and Plat HOF, those who I bumped into while searching for Pugs and those, who shared my last games on my alt accounts yesterday and today while Origin refused to let me log into my main account. It was a blast. See you. Nothing to see here. Post kitten gifs pls.

Always tough to see oldtimers go, but naturally real life comes always first, for any of us. Good luck in your travels, and as per your request:

To Frank's wife : forcing someone to retire from the combat against Reapers is bad and you should feel bad about it ! Don't worry guys : I'm sure Frank has written this thread under pressure and will be back to fight sooner or later. Joking, I hope you'll be happy with this decision but still come here from time to time, we would miss you otherwise.

But seriously, Frank, I hope you'll get things sorted out and come back to us in a couple of weeks, maybe months. I wish you the best and I'm glad I had a chance to play with you. It's been a pleasure man How could I forget about kittens! With special dedication to Frank

I'd post kitten gifs, but....
The truth is, by abandoning our fight against the Reaper forces still wreaking havoc in pockets throughout the MW galaxy, you are directly responsible for the deaths of countless kittens, cats, dogs and varren across hundreds of worlds.
There are no words.

Bye, frankiscrank ! ME3MP was a special game that brought all of us together. It's sad to see the band breaking up, but life takes precedence. I hope to see you around, either here or when that next special game hits. Get some rest, soldier!

I have a lot of things to do in real life right now and in the near future. And I have not spent much time playing games this year. Haven't even played the last Deus Ex DLC that I got with the Season Pass and which is on top of my (very long) backlog of games to play or re-play. I never really find the time to get into it, get used to the controls again or reconfigure them, get into the whole story and so on - even if the DLC is probably just a few hours long at most.
BUT: ME3MP is always on my SSD because it's a quick and easy thing: hop in, play a game or two, then quit and get back to what you were doing or a supposed to do. That's perfect. But I can totally understand you if you feel that it consumes too much of your time or that you get addicted once you start playing and then keep on playing for way too many hours or something like that. I guess if MEAMP had been an improved version of ME3MP instead of the crap that it is I'd be spending way too much time with it to unlock and level up all the stuff. And I totally played way too much ME3MP for a few months after it's release so I can understand what you are doing. I took a big break from ME3MP and then started playing again earlier this year like described: get in, play a game or two, quit.

This is what I'm liking most about Andromeda's matches being 7 waves, sometimes 10 Waves of ME3 (esp if carrying) can take way too long to fit around RL priorities. That said, for me, ME3 is far superior, it's just "easier" to fit MEAMP in.

Rockets make the match go faster!
I get yelled at occasionally for rocketing waves 7, 8 and 9. There is a reason for my rockets, and yell at me all ya want.... If the wife is telling me it's time to eat, I can either abandon the match (almost guaranteeing failure for the team) or I can speed it up.
Then, I go to the LZ, crouch at some cover, and go eat. Come back to a kicked screen, and resume.

Come back to a kicked screen, and resume. From my experimence, wave 5 has a better spawn budget for nuking than wave 7. And as much as I enjoy wave 8 geth, there's no denying how quickly you can deplete the spawn budget there, so I've been known to missile that, too. The only missiles complained about in this house are the scorewhore missiles - other side of the map during objectives, and wave 11 for no reason (I understand one for clearing your prefered spot of the map on wave 11, that's not scorewhoring). I really don't understand people bitching about correct use of missiles.

Agreed, but I usually start a game later than I should trying to squeeze in at least a second match for the day, and sometimes she tells me it's time to eat around that wave 6 objective. There's one rocket, once we finish the objective and there is a potential spawn nuke. Then, depending on faction, it is a rocket on 7, 8 and two on 9, saving at least one for the wave 10 objective. Sorta like a speedrun strategy, except I'm the only one that knows it's a speedrun and I just found out
