Loading screen: "Complete challenges to get special reward packs"

Technically the name plates are special reward packs. Because they appear just like other reward packs in the reward items in the store. You have to click on them and that shows you the blank card which you then 'reveal' to find out what you've 'won'. The fact that this is not what most people think of when they think 'reward pack' doesn't matter and the nameplates are lame is irrelevant. TECHNICALLY they've fulfilled their promise in the message.

I dunno. As you point out, it doesn't meet the common understanding or meaning of "pack." If you were writing a loading screen tip for this, is that what you would call it? Wouldn't the first thing to come to mind be something more clear and accurate? You'd have to go out of your way to write something misleading like this, and there is no reason for it.


Uh, no you don't.

Edit: Unless I thought it was a Deluxe Edition thing and forgot I opened it.

My bad then. I thought you were being funny.

You also get one for watching their Initiative promo videos.  Not sure if that still works post launch, or if it was something that had to be done pre-launch.

It gives you a helmet for SP, and it doesn't say anything about MP rewards, but I watched them during the Origin Access pre-play period, and the next time I logged in I had a pack that was labeled like "Initiative Reward Box" or something like that.  The only thing I could think that it came from was watching those videos.  I had already previously claimed all the other rewards for pre-purchase, Deluxe and owning ME3. 

I received a Platinum skin when I signed in and if I watch the 6 videos it looks like it will still give me a special Pathfinder helmet.
