After a few tries, I finally managed to complete a Silver/Reaper match. Full extraction too :) Damn them Banshees. Now to continue work on the brutes :) Tuesday's pack hopefully will have my Valiant. It's all I use in the campaign.

I'm up, 5 brutes. Never played the MP until today.
Got a LV 3 Asari Vanguard from a veteran pack. So i played her.
Wow fun times.
However all the groups i got stuck with couldn't get past wave 9.
So i guess i have to hope tue community reaches 100,000,000 brutes since my internet at home broke.

Really cool event, Bioware.

Raged out on Gold.

Repaers aren't fun to play against on anything higher then Silver.

Fix banshee's they are broken unless you have the PERFECT class setup (adepts/infil/Engineers) every other class is useless. Also you pride yourself on pretty much every single type (Aside from cerberus) to have 2 or more units with armor, you should have given EVERY SINGLE class/RACE something to counter that.


Why should every class have a counter to everything?

I've killed a solid 100 brutes so far.
If any Xbox players are having a hard time finishing silver they can add me.
My Gamertag is the same as the Bioware Id

Pretty awesome community thing. I know it got me motivated to play alot more multiplayer. Probably got a good 50 brutes in so far, but I need to max out my soldier and my weapons before I delve into a silver game.

How will the community know if it has killed 1 Million brutes by Monday 5 am PST?
We will announce the results on our facebook page, twitter and forum sometime on Monday.  We are not able to display progress on this goal. Please note that brutes killed in Bronze, Silver, and Gold on both PC and Xbox all count towards the goal.


Just to make sure I read this right, as when I saw the announcement in-game I thought it sounded seriously difficult. Brute kills on any difficulty count, they don't have to all be on Silver? All you have to personally do as a player is ensure at least one teammate succeeds in extracting on a silver level against Reapers?

Anyway, I just hope this silver round counts. According to the rules it should, unless the leader had the feedback thing turned off.


Don't worry. As long as YOU had it turned on, it'll count. EAware reps have said that a few times in different threads.

I wish they'd pop in and tell us at like certain goals... like "Oh hey, you all just passed 250k brutes killed" Not wait till we finish the event to tell us yes or no.

But there is no way in game to check if you've been awarded the Pack, right? I can't host Games thanks to my router, so this info could be valuable to me ;).

I played some online last night for the first time and made it to level 18. I had a blast

Teams need to run togehter and keep each other healed. Alway cover the player getting the upload hack done.

Online play Rocks.:D

That's 99 million more brutes than needed, lol.  Get your preferred class up to the mid or low teens, and silver will become quite a bit easier.  Also, try and communicate with your potential squad mates before the match.  Generally, if I can't get people talking, I leave and find people who communicate to work together.  Reapers can get overwhelming if there's little group cohesion.

Also, welcome to ME3 multiplayer!

 this is incredibly unfair for us who are on ps3. :(


hey at least you don't have to pay a monthly subscription fee to play online with other stuff :P


That is irrelevant. I paid  25 dollars for the DLC and Spector packs and 60 dollars for the game. Now they're doing a promotion that specifically leaves out an entire console?



not cool. (and I do pay the xbox live fees but I happened to get this game on PS3 because most of my online friends are on that console) 

but this has nothing to do with the fees. this is an event by the game company (not the console) for the users. and 1/3 of them are not able to get the promotion. 


Utterly not cool. (and I have even beat silver with reapers this weekend) Bioware needs to give the pack to everyone on ps3 to make up for it.

Save your Cobra missiles until at least wave 8. You can destroy Banshees in a single shot. If you're good, you can even take out two with the splash damage. Makes it a lot easier when you don't have to spend all that time running away/focus firing on Banshees, so you can concentrate on other enemies.

 I am a bit hesitant to try and jump into a silver match vs reapers. I don't have a working mic, so I am afraid my team will suffer for it or I'll just get outright kicked before I even get into a match. Anyone willing to try and beat silver with me even though I don't have a good mic? I am on Xbox 360, GT Tyrannotaur.

You do realize that what you're basically saying is that because one console can't work towards a goal they should just get the rewards for no effort instead? How would that be "cool" for those who do work for it? Not that I personally care much either way, but that does sound silly to me.

I don't know what the technical limitation is that prevents PS3 from participating in this, but they certainly aren't doing it out of spite towards the PS3 users.

I appreciate the offer nonetheless. :happy:
Although I'm not a terrible player or anything. I just don't have a mic so there would be a communication barrier in effect. From what I hear if you don't use a mic on Silver people tend to kick you.

I suspect like other promos Bioware has done, even if the numbers are below they will likely unlock the reward anyways. Having the community fail an event like this doesn't really benefit anyone.

According to Coalesced.bin, this is the number of Brutes in each wave:

1: B: N/A S: N/A G: N/A
2: B: N/A S: N/A G: 1
3: B: N/A S: N/A G: 1
4: B: N/A S: 1 G: 2
5: B: 1 S: 1 G: 2
6: B: 1 S: 1 G: 2
7: B: N/A S: N/A G: N/A
8: B: 1 S: 2 G: 1
9: B: 1 S: N/A G: 2
10: B: 1 S: 1 G: 3
11: B: 1 S: 2 G: 3

Total: B: 6 S: 8 G: 17


This does not match my experiences.

edit:  Though it would make sense if they spawned that many in a group, because I start seeing pairs on the waves with 2.


The strange thing about it... The numbers I included was based off variables called MinCount and MaxCount (which in each case, were the same value... the one listed in that table). But at the end of the line in some places, there was another thing saying MaxPerWave which was:

4: S: 2
5: B: 2 S: 2
6: B: 2 S: 3
8: B: 2 S: 4 
9: B: 2 
10: B: 2 S: 3
11: B: 2 

So I guess there's a few cases where it's -slightly- higher.


Maybe MaxCount is how many can be active at once, and MinCount is how many are generated in a spawn cycle.  Once MaxPerWave is hit (if there is a Max), they stop spawning.  I started paying attention in the Silver matches I was playing, and I'm seeing the MaxPerWave value every time (probably because Brutes are taken down rather quickly and get a second spawn).


But MinCount and MaxCount are the same number in all cases (For instance, MinCount is 2 and MaxCount is 2), while MaxPerWave, when used, is always higher than MaxCount. Shrug. The waves I listed in the 2nd table are the only ones that use MaxPerWave.

That hasn't been my experience on silver.  Anything lvl 10 plus is fine.  Its only really on gold that people might attempt to kick for not having mics.

Meh. No one uses mics, as I mentioned before. I think I've heard voice comms activated a grand total of ONCE so far, and that's with having a lvl 19 Adept and a lvl 16 Vanguard and a couple low-level characters already. Certainly haven't seen anyone kicked... can the leader even kick? Well, at least never happened to me, anyway.

But this lack of comms certainly does make things more difficult for the team. Too bad my brothers don't have ME3 yet, or I could play more effectively with them.

I have a question, don't know if it's been answered but I'm not fliping through 20+ pages to find out.

What lvl will our N7 gun be at? Or will it start at lvl one and we can unlock guns lvls for it through recruit/vet/spectre packs?

Dammit Bioware - it's not fair that you're not letting PS3 users have this! You are sidelining one of your large fan bases AGAIN!!!

This is getting ridiculas. If we can't get the same enjoyment and contests that the PC and 360 users have, then why the hell did you release it on our console of choice in the first place? I seriously hope we get these items in the very near future, or consider this, on top of a terrible SP ending, and being treated like dirt by help and support, my reason for abandoning the ME franchise.
