What? Nobody wants Zaeed and Grunt on a pure stealth mission? I'm shocked!

[FeralEwok]

At the end of the day we just have to remember that its freakin BIOWARE...they have consistantly provided quality story driven games and rarely have tried to pull a fast one on us and write something in that has the quality of a Star Wars prequel. Everything has a point to it and is meant to fit in. They are not about to kill off Shepard twice in one game because it minimalizes the impact of that first death and that "ultimate sacrifice"...if he keeps dying and coming back all tension is lost. They are not about to kill off the VS either, if they did it wouldnt be in any DLC because of the little amount of game time they would occupy in a DLC. BW has by no means forgotten that alot of fans are ready for the VS to come back and they very may well be making an appearance but having them die when they were and will eventually be again a major player in the events to come is just not BW's style. So get off the red sand



I dont pretend that there wont still be more posters claiming that those of the previously mentioned characters will kick the bucket but it just doesn't hold water in what has a strong cohesive, pathos driven story.



As far as the speculation to the DLC title its certainly plausible that the Reapers will begin their invasion but best bet is that its a teased sort of thing so that way it gets you siked...then again Arrival could have some completely different meaning altogether that is just exclusively tied to the events of the DLC and not anything previously seen like was the case with Overlord. For the people who provided some of the only proof so far many thanks to you because that is where you are most likely to get a sense of what this is going to be about.

Based on the evidence and what I just noticed while doing my playthrough, I'm willing to guess that this mission occurs in the local cluster. If this has been disproven, obviously, I wouldn't check all 87+ pages to see. That system is about the only system in ME2 that doesn't have a mission in it. Strange that they'd put it in if it wasn't going to be put to use. I doubt it was just for nostalgia.

they put it in because its absence would be notable. it is the only system that, in the real world, actually exists as it appears in game. its there for show.

Perhaps they will use this "ultimate sacrifice" as a means for resetting your stats again. I know it sounds cheap but perhaps they had originally intended on letting you go from level 30- to say 60 using the existing upgrade/stats system (e.g. increasing the level cap to 6) but after receiving notably harsh feedback regarding the system by their core fans they decided to change their mind in favor of scrapping it....opting instead to reinstate a more a expansive ME1-style flavor and this could be their justification.

 Wow, quite a lot more speculation since I've been asleep, I wonder if there's a way to stay awake from now till the dlc comes out......
Anyway, we had a very good point about the ultimate sacrifice in that squad members could all be dead anyway, so good point, it probably won't be one.  With what bioware have said about romace in ME3, I seriously doubt it'll be the VS, and remember, it's a DLC.  I'm sure there are a few Ash/Kaidan fans out there who will play ME3 and not have played this DLC, now, that would ****** me off for sure.  And I seriously doubt it'll be Shepard.  I agree with those who say an in DLC character.
As for the 2GB size, you could have a point there, though as we know, size doesn't correlate exactly to how much content things have in them, look at Zaeed's for size compared to Overlord for example.  All we can do is hope they'll put as much in it as possible, and with the recent quality of their DLC's, by which I mean LotSB, I'm sure they will.  I'm sure it'll be as big and long as that story could possibly be, remember, they said massive, and it's taken them a very long time to make.
I am about to search the internet to try and find out if the 2GB limit applies to DLC.  I'll let you know if I find out.

And yeah, I'm also pretty sure that Arrival means reapers, unless garrus is right and there's something worse than reapers who suddenly show up, it wouldn't surprise me, but damn I hope not

I think the stealth portion is going to be the equivalent of the car chase scene from LOTSB.

Could you possible be less stealthy than a 200mph chase through the sky, smashing up trucks and crashing into buildings? [smilie]http://social.bioware.com/images/forum/emoticons/tongue.png[/smilie]

Yes, detonating a nuclear device on virmire.  I know how you meant it, I just had to say that.

Oh gee, I wonder why........

Subtlety isn't exactly Grunt's strong point, then again, he did learn from shepard.  Grunt's idea of stealth is probably using a smaller shotgun and not shouting out when enemies die as much.


Anyway, I stand by what I said about thinking it will be sooner than with LotSB that we get info, and a fair amount of info.

That just made me think of something.  You don't suppose subtlety not being Shepard's strong point is a trait he inherited from Bioware?

[VolusNamedBob]

If there really is a stealth portion in the DLC I hope it's done right. I'm a big fan of stealth in games and it would be fun if it's done well. Although it's probably going to be played differently then the average gameplay, perhaps a mini-game like in LotSB as mentioned before.

[samurai crusade]

I'm up for stealth. It would certainly give me a reason to actually use Kasumi.

The Kodiac is a stealth ship and I could see them giving us control like in LotSB to fly through waypoints between radar posts or something. I'm excited for this though, I imagine we will have some planetary exploration. What would be really sweet. Is if they do like the suicide mission and we can take our entire crew (if they survived) and assign them tasks during the finale. That would be epic!

Solution: Stealth armor!!!!!

Well, technically, that was pretty stealthy!  The whole mission was a diversionary tactic involving the salarians whilst you slipped in the back of the base unnoticed by the bulk of it's defence

Fair enough, that's another thing that the turian council member got wrong then.

Sorry but stealth to me = frustration and controllers flying into walls.

Which is why I prefer PC and a non-wireless mouse -> restricts collateral damage to a minimum.

Then why no missions?  The first game had an important mission that occured there.  You could specialize after doing it.  Why nothing in two (so far...)?

Also, the achievement/trophy mentioned a human doctor from the University of Arcturus, yes?  It also mentions recon/stealth.  Maybe part of the mention takes place on Earth or Mars.

[Cossack72]

Hope that "Ultimate Sacrifice" isn't surrendering to Batarians, because I'd die (again) before I surrendered to them.

[Welsh Inferno]

I just hope it doesn't mean shepard "dies" again :/

I'm sure that's not it.

[Ryzilient]

If it does happen, it completely degrades the cold opening which many applauded at the start of ME2. Logically, it doesn't make sense either. It took two years for Shepard to be revived the last time, and the Reapers would hardly wait that long.

[GodofEmperors]

I want the Reapers to show up in the DLC.

[Derahu]

I admit, the stealth aspect for an achievement is interesting. I can see using the kodiac like the hover car from LotSB but it could be going through the atmosphere of the planet that we have chosen to land on instead of watching a static loading screen. The stealth part could involve the kodiac flying through orbital sensors but since they only detect thermal transmissions you would have to shut off the engines temporarily until the sensors pass. This could also be a good way to showcase alien spacecraft

[Soapy010]

I'm pretty sure Shepard won't die, and I don't think its likely that they will kill the VS. Maybe you need to save the doctor abondon other people from the DLC or something.

It's also there for some comic relief when one wants to probe Uranus.
