As we head into the release, I know the weekend events were one of my favorite parts about the MP and was a nice focal point for the community. I figured it would be a good place to discuss them as they happen and potentially interact with the devs on the boards about possibilities of future events so they don't become stale. I know the game will have limitations with regards to what is possible, but hopefully they will get a little creative with the events to help them stand out. I know I really enjoyed the random addition of banshees to waves they did shortly before the release of platinum. It would be great to break up the monotony of "kill x number of enemies with assault rifle" challenges that I am sure we'll see at the start.

+1 I also liked the weekend events. Hopefully BW will do these for MEA.

Good topic, first of all I really hope they make these 3 day weekend events so that people, especially in the summer can go away for the weekend and not miss out.
Yeah the Banshee thing was good, because we failed at the overall Banshee objective the previous weekend we had to face them the next week.
I'm also wondering about the special experience, as I've said before this sounds like a take from World of Tanks.

My favourite weekend event (although for sad reasons) was the Inferno Grenade challenge in memory of Zaeed Massani's voice actor who passed away.
Regular weekend events really helps to build communities and should be encouraged as much as possible!

I remember that one, there's so much we still don't know about the multiplayer, such as, well, just about everything.

I hope they definitely bring back the weekend events. Those created some of the most fun moments in ME3MP for me.

I'm thinking Bio is going to bring back all of the stuff that made MEMP fantastic. This was one of course of many and I can't wait.

But what about balance changes? How are they supposed to fit into 140 characters?

They were great. It's no exaggeration to say that they kept me playing multiplayer.
Even if I hadn't played MP in a while, I would return for the Events.

I, for one, avidly anticipate these. The feeling of camaraderie was awesome... even after I completed the personal challenge, I felt compelled to continue playing all weekend to help with the community challenge. Additionally, many of the weekend challenges helped to force folks outside their comfort zone, such as stepping up to Gold if you hadn't already or trying certain kits/weapons you hadn't before. For folks new to them, it was a good way to expand your horizons. For people already playing at that level, it was like a community service to help the newer players be successful. My favorite part of challenges, like the final one Lodestar, was getting a wrecking crew together to help people more used to lower difficulties get Platinum done to unlock their final commendation pack. Bring them on, BioWare! I never missed one weekend event that PS3 could participate in for ME3MP (the first three medals will always be blacked out, sadly, but that is out of a PS3er's control ) and I never missed one weekend event for DAIMP on PS4... bring me the weekend challenges!

I'd love to see weekend events come back but I'm not getting my hopes up. After reading the thing about the limited time pre made modifier games for the new currency, I got a sinking feeling that they would replace the consistent weekend events. Might still see a few here and there but I'm not gonna get excited for weekly events.

I really liked the weekend challenges. I missed out on several of them because I didn't have internet yet that was capable of doing any kind of MP gaming. Once I did get it I tried it out and got hooked pretty good and started doing the challenges shortly after that. I hope they bring those back again this time too!

I remember the first Gold challenge, camping in the basement of (old) Firebase White. Who doesn't remember that. Throwing geth over the counter all day every day. 15 grabs achievement 5 minutes into the match! Back then the Pyros weren't even fat and you could grab them too!

There was this Bloodpack one where you had to extract as Krogan or Vorcha. I swear, there was some serious running to gt the melee kill.
