Personally I prefer an assault rifle with a liberal serving of sneaking. Even when you're already known to be in the area, they still need to find where exactly to shoot you. The ability to move unseen cover to cover and open up when advantage presents itself is one of chief requirements in warfare. That's why I prefer Infiltrators. I just wish Mass Effect had more times you could be stealthy and get the drop on someone. Like today. 40v40 gameplay in Squad (that's a LOT, in case you're wondering) and we were playing the US Army versus Insurgents, take a radio tower on a hill. While the majority of our team was engaged in frontal engagement, my squad snuck around, deployed in the enemys rear and took out pretty much all of them. I alone had around eight to ten kills in that assault, which in a realistic, massive map and player count is definitely nothing to scoff at. Even got a pretty nice screenie. Nice screenie I grabbed in spoiler.

Since it's night, no harm in chit chat about ME. That quest to dig up an archeologist is crazy! I thought my troubles with that quest were over by beating an evil overgrown toaster. NOPE! So not! It's followed by another even longer, cut scene is getting cutscened, super difficult fight with Wrex's merc relative. I thought I'd never get rid of him! Where is Joker to blast the entire structure when you need him. I put the game on Insanity difficulty and it took me about 4-5 hours to figure out how to beat that krogan battlemaster and those damn geth snipers. That battle is tough. Apparently I didn't upgrade the weapons on my squad, so they just kept dying. As soon as I gave Garrus a decent sniper rifle, he took out the battlemaster without any problem. Go figure.

gerva The cutscenes make it a lot more bothersome. The heroes simply aren't leveled enough at that point. Fighting that big toaster with a lvl 1 or 2 pistol isn't exactly grand firepower being at your disposal. But, with the toaster I finally figured out the retreating strategy, although, is scary as heck when at the end of the fight when its life points get low it starts crawling towards you. O_O With Krogan it's sheer luck. He's fine while he's hiding behind the cover. Once he starts charging you're screwed. He knocks out the tank in two punches and my Shepard in one. I've noticed he charges once all his cronies are dead, but if you leave any alive then they're absolute pests gunning you down while you're dodging a huge boulder of a Korgan. I used all my grenades on him while he was in cover. My fighting is not so grand at all. Although, in DAO I feel comfortable with combat and managed 1 game on nightmare, and it was too much of a drag. But, no way I'm trying that with Inq or DA2. ME combat is a lot harder than all DA. In all games I tend to invest as much as possible into diplomacy. I enjoy having the diplomatic option even if most of the time I want to kill the nasties and don't want to talk them out of attacking me, but I always found it amusing in DAO when you use 'do you really want to fight a mage' line on the bandits bridge. Then the stupid one runs away yelling, 'I don't want to be turned into a toad.' Serza I don't play military or 1st person shooter games. I'm fairly lost with all your references. What you're describing sounds like multi player pvp. I did used to play some knights and magic oriented mmprog games that had pvp elements, but those are very different from the 1st person. Some raids were interesting to take part in. Pela That could have been a lucky shot. Five hours! That's impressive. I have no patience with so much work in a game.

Basically while everyone was throwing themselves at the enemy World War I style, my squad went right around the enemy and attacked from the rear, taking down no less than twenty guys between the lot of us. I think I must've gotten at least eight during that assault alone. They never saw us coming.

Yep, if there's opportunity, try to outflank the enemy. That is why I generally not stay with the main group in ME3 MP because the mobs really like to outflank. I rarely play infil though. In the old days, when I play other game MPs, like Wolfensten, etc. I always go as a medic. Because 100% of the time, the other guys chose the aggressive roles.

Serza It's always best funzies when you ambush the enemy. ____ I'm having a great day and also I'm happy to announce that I've become Inq GOTY as well as ME3 richer. I wanted to move my Steam bought collection of ME1 and ME2 to Origins, but key wasn't accepted. I've contacted EA support. They were nice to me and upgraded to Origins collection, which includes ME3 as well. Since it's all nice and Christmasy, I got GOTY! This is great. Now I'll just wait for all those DLC to go on sale. I'm glad they've taken the good step to remove them from the bioware store and bundled them into one full DLC pack.

Definitely because the stupid points showed up in the ME3 MP store. I have no intention of using real money to buy ammo / kits but I did accidentally click on the points once and couldn't cancel the stupid thing. In hindsight, I could force a close down of the game, ensuring the sales transition didn't go through.

I noticed in Andromeda when you are sending out apex teams, if you accidentally click to play multiplayer, it jsut takes you there, no warning, no 'are you sure?'. Really easy to do too, becuase for non apex missions its spacebar to run. For the multiplayer ones its spacebar to enter multiplayer. Sneaky bastages. Try to get out of multiplayer though. they ask a couple times. Do you really want to leave multiplayer? You havent even bought a random loot chest yet.

Obsidian I'd say deadly quiet. Wander what the morning will bring. Dragon I've learned how to blast big worms to smithereens with my mako! Otherwise, can't say my ninja combat tactics have gained any improvement. I dug the archeologist out of that geth swarming hole and decided she's too much of a kiddie to date. More renegate Grinchy behaviour from my Shepard. Maybe if I transfer her over, she'll romance Garrus in ME2 since he's getting along with her very well. Then I found a mission of DOOOOMM that turned my team into ugly black squares as soon as I've entered some goofy geth structure where I got attacked by more ugly black squares. Seems like a buggy bug.

Black squares? Weird. I never had that happened. The only glitch I had was the black patch straight away after the deployment at Therum. That was way back in 2008 on my number x PT of ME1. There's a quite easy solution for it so it's taken care of fast. When I played it again a couple of years go, no black patch, no glitch.
The one thing I don't understand either is the game crashes for ME2. I was watching my fav streamer replay ME2 back in 2015 and he kept getting that. I don't have any problems which makes me think that the more complicated software installed; he has other programs to help him stream, etc, the higher chances there is games will not cooperate with the system. This is where consoles have the advantage since it's basically a locked OS. No one can affect any changes in it albeit illegally. So if a game crashes on the console, the problem is mostly the game.

Seems like a buggy bug. Be careful with Liara. She tends to think Shepard is madly in love with her if you are even the slightest bit nice to her. It's not a big deal if you're waiting until ME2 to start a romance (with Garrus or one of the new characters, for example), but if you are trying to romance someone else in ME1, I would actually suggest -- based on a very recent experience of mine -- to not talk to Liara much at all. I guess people are busy with the holidays? Funny, I'm quite free today, but from tommorow 'till new year's eve I'll be away from home, so I'll probably only log in around the evening I was with family yesterday and today, yes.

"Traitorous witch!" spat the Cerberus agent, spying on their target through a scope. She was flicking through her terminal, seemingly oblivious to the fate waiting in store. The agent powered on the comms. "Are the spikes in place?"
"Ready and waiting," came the reply. "We just need to drive her toward them."
"Good. Won't be long now." The agent grinned villainously. "She'll never interfere in our plans again."
--------------------------
Elsewhere on the Citadel, skilled fingers skittered over a terminal, hacking into the omnitool of a certain Cerberus agent. "Dammit!" said the hacker. "Need to tell Shep...but a warning, first." Her suspicions confirmed, she backed her way out of the omnitool's feed and quickly typed out a message.
THEY HAVE COME FOR YOU. TAKE EAST BASEMENT EXIT AND PROCEED TOWARD TRANSIT TERMINAL. CMDR WILL MEET YOU THERE.
--------------------------
The smile dropped from the Cerberus agent's face as their target leapt up and fled in the only direction in which they hadn't placed any spikes. "What the...?"
The comm sputtered. "Are you seeing this?!"
"What the hell is happening?"
"Again?!"
No one was eliminated. Again. Will the heroes' luck start to run out? ~DAYTIME~
