My Sentinel has a sniper, annoyed now because the shotgun looks perfect for the class.

After testing this new DLC in action, I must admit that I rather enjoyed it. First of all the Mattock is an amazing and refreshing taste of firepower and accuracy unlike most assault rifles *cough* revenant. The Geth plasma shotgun turns your otherwise useless shotgun-wielding squad members in actual lethal team members with the increased range and power. The M5 Phalanx, while not much different from the Cannifex, does offer much better accuracy if not stopping power as well.



Lastly I have to comment on the weapon sounds. Much better. Actually sound like sophisticated sci-fi weapons without the cheesy, uninspired sounds of the other weapons.



Overall, nice job BioWare. A small DLC pack that doesn't suck for once. 4.5/5

Yeah, my MS laptop broke, so since then I was gifted a Mac laptop, but I have trouble using the original program I used to use for melding together pictures. Picasa is much more cumbersome, which is a shame

Those were good days

I just figured you were busier these days, and the fact that not much promo material is released now that the game is out and all.  I love the excitment of an upcoming game of such a high caliber.  The anticipation was palpable...  Those were good days.  That's what makes DLC so great IMO...

For the Vanguards -> "Also, don't worry Vanguards, you can still charge an enemy and then release overcharge when you land."

Meaning you can charge up the shotgun -> use Biotic Charge your enemy -> and release your overcharged shotgun.

Looking back I have to say that waiting for ME2 was fun and all, but a lot of times it was maddening Go on admit it you know it was. lol

Yeah, that just sounds amazing. Can someone make a video of a Vanguard doing that?

I think one of the coolest things, was after seeing how pumped up Jeirt was about Thane, BioWare put in a "spam email" in the game from a "Salarian named Jeirt" raving about Thane    But back on topic, the Mattock rocks my socks off

It's not a browser issue, I just tried it on chrome, firefox, IE 32bit, IE 64bit, on both my laptop and desktop.  I still get redirected.

Continuing off-topic... I haven't seen Jeirt since ME2 was released.  New screen name?

Thanks javier!

According to that, the new pistol was designed to be a bit harder to use and aim with. That makes me feel a bit better. The example she gave, shooting off every LOKI mech's legs with one bullet, is interesting. Basically, the Phalanx has a more niche use than the other pistols. I guess I haven't been using it correctly then. I'll have to think about this.

yea... I realize its an account issue, I just got a friend overseas to try for me and still no luck... /sigh, time to email bioware/ea

Just got done putting them through their paces. I used my current AR-trained adept on a couple of the Blue Suns N7 missions and Jacob's loyalty, so I got a lot of use out of the Mattock and a little with the Phalanx.

The new pistol is ok. I don't use them all that much, but this one may be different and interesting enough to warrant a little more use. However, I think I'm going to love the Mattock. I might switch back to the Avenger with my adept (I know it's statistically worse than every other assault rifle, I just like it), but I'm actually tempted to put this character on hold and go for another soldier run. I think it's the gun I always wanted for my main, and it must be devastating in adrenaline rush.

Basic fire with the Geth Plasma Shotgun delivers a payload with a much tighter spread, so it can be used quite effectively at range. The tradeoff is, you don't get the same stopping power at short range.

Wait, what?

Does that mean you won't knock enemies back as much you would with - let's say - a Katana, Scimitar or Lieberschaft?

Yeah it will burn you out if you not careful. Thats why I try not to get excited until just a few days before the release date. I have to admit that I kinda like not knowing when the DLC is coming. The Firepower pack is a prime example of how this type of DLC should be done IMHO.

I think it means that the Geth Shotgun doesn't have a large point-blank multipler. Every weapon except Sniper Rifles deals double damage at point-blank range, and 1.25x damage at short range. I'm guessing it either deals the same damage at point blank, or that it only has a small multiplier instead of the usual 2x.

Im personaly tired of "New Guns" DLC. We now have enough. Lets move on Bioware. With that said im getting off to go buy this "New DLC" It getting a lil confusing for your average gamer. What to buy? Armor ? Does it have a gun? Which weopon pack is better. Why do I need all this extra random bs? 20 dollars for all of it? Yea in your wet dreams. After you read this,you will understand what it is like to be an average gamer looking at ME2 DLC . Somewhat pointless. lol sorry Peace and enjoy
