Mass Effect 3: Redemption - The Armax Update! 16 new maps for multiplayer

Awesome ! I'll watch it. As I said, no emergency, of course. 

You double killed Phantoms? And what else hmmm? Maybe you're going to tell me that you killed them with double headshot as well? Pffft.... no one is gonna believe that. And I certainly wasn't impressed by that! And I'm sure as hell I didn't write in console "WOW" or something like that Sorry man, pics or didn't happen

Sorry I can't provide any evidence either though it seems likely, given the way you guys were able to handle the phantrolls without my AA stasis. Too busy derping around to pay attention 

But the beach, the beach... The view is to die for  (Specially when you're out of both gels and ops packs  ) 

While "a little tweak" to the Rannoch center area sounds easy, in practice that is a huge set of work. I can move the frames stuff easily. Make it wide enough for fatlas. But the cover system, lighting, and other things are much more difficult. Many enemies don't flank because they see the tunnel as the fastest way through. I can probably add some more spawn points.

Sanctuary grenades are missing, yes. There was an issue right before launch with them crashing the game so they were removed. I will be reinstating them new update.

Rannoch has some off host grenade and ammo sync issues. I'm hoping to work that out in the next update but I have no idea if replication of stuff like this is actually fixable. The off host largeclimb mantles I added are very obvious issues, where brutes and atlases will practically teleport across the map and then resync.

Ok, so I have been having a modding failure.

I installed Redemption to my ModManager, and initially it was installed side-by-side with my Super Basic 2 mod. That mod is added unfinished MP maps, some mixins added like boss head-gibs and modded Objectives because I suck at soloing Devices.

With both mods installed, I was unable to enter any of the Redemption maps - I would choose them in the Mission Options, and then they would default to one of the unfinished maps.

Not sure if this is a bug, an limitation on number of maps available, or if I just had a jacked up install.

Anyways, it got me to use the bioinput.xml override moving forward, which is a better keybinding solution than using a mix of coalesced edits and mouse software.

Not really a bug report, per se, since I don't really know what was going on, but this seemed like the place to mention it.

Modmaker maps will conflict with this mod - the next update will fix this.

Current known bugs list:
 - Atrium can sometimes skip a wave on bad objective (fixed in 1.02)
 - Shipwreck can sometimes skip a wave on bad objective (fixed in 1.02)
 - ModMaker mods with extra maps will break the ability to load redemption maps (fixed in 1.02)
 - Newly placed (as in, not in SP) special nodes do not replicate to clients, e.g. brute or atlas climbing over stuff will lead to them doing a huge desync until the action is completed. This means enemies will teleport during this step off host. this might not be fixable
 - Mars area above dropdown can have enemy stuck up there if a whole cluster spawns (will need testing in 1.02)
 - General pathfinding issues on other maps where bosses can't move very well
 - Grenades missing on sanctuary (Fixed in 1.02)


Other changes in 1.02 (not yet out):
 - Escort drone on shipwreck is improved going over the dip in the floor. 
 - Enemies on the ramp in the hole shouldn't bob up and down as much 
 - Shipwreck objectives have been overhauled
 - Many new spawnpoints (and some evil new turret points :>) on keelah
 - Mars spawnpoint up above has been moved closer to the main area in hopes that enemies won't stand still up there
 - Pathfinding updates on rannoch should allow bosses the ability to move a bit better (it'll still have many problems.)
 - Pathfinding updates on grissom should allow bosses the ability to move a bit better (it'll still have many problems.)
 - Light pathfinding updates on mars
 - More ammo will respawn on rannoch. I am letting it use the default timer (20s, same as condor) as there is a lot of ammo on this map. Modmaker's ammo respawn time dynamic mixin will affect this if you use it.


Planned updates for 1.03: 
 - Disarm objectives upstairs (since I now know how to prevent escort drones trying to go from bottom to top floors)

Went straight to Mars after updating for some more solo trials.

Had one Guardian still up near the insertion point at the end one of the waves. As the last man standing icon appeared, he was walking up to the railing and was easily dealt with.

Wave 6, second device, recurring turret... This got really messy.

New version of 1.02 testing: www.dropbox.com/s/u4bhz8ybiyk7au2/Redemption%20DLC_1.02.7z?dl=0 (same link, same version #)

Pathfinding on atrium should be significantly improved but is not perfect still. Brutes and stuff can do some wild stuff like charge right over the middle wall sometimes. Bosses should have a much easier time moving around.

Edit: this version needs rannoch ammo fixed (i didn't hit save).

Here's a little sneak peek. Dedicated to DistigousForest . Will upload the video tomorrow. There will be some tasty mustard for you

at least some rejects action !
they havent got the attention they diserve

Damn Terror.... he knew it from the start Yes, you guessed right lol
Exactly my thoughts. I just wanted to see if it's doable to play these two dlcs at the same time without crashing the game. I'm glad to say it is No problems at all. Me and Vas even did a nice duo, which I recorded. So I will try to upload it, at least it could be more interesting for those who do not want to see Reegar


For now my maps ranking looks like this:
1. Rannoch (after 1.03 update)
2. Shipwreck
3. Grissom Academy
4. Cronos (there's still the biggest potential to make great this map)
5-6. Mars and Sanctuary (As much as I love the atmosphere on them, they are too narrow and long for my taste). However with full team they can be fun too

That scoring....

It is a beautiful thing to have a partner. When that partner is your equal, beautiful things can happen. That scoreboard is a beautiful thing.
