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.


Yes, but since I consistently see more than MaxCount per wave (I see MaxPerWave), but never see more than MaxCount active at the same time, I assumed it meant how many Brutes can be up at once, and MaxPerWave is how many can spawn total for a wave before it stops adding Brutes as new groups of foes spawn.

What I mean is that take a wave with MinCount/MaxCount 2 and MaxPerWave 4.  When the game generates spawns, it'll check how many Brutes are on the map, none since the wave just started, then it will spawn two (MinCount).  Next time it goes to spawn enemies during that wave, it'll check how many are on the map.  If those two are still alive, it won't spawn any more (it is currently at MaxCount).  Now after they are killed, the next spawn cycle will check and see that there are no Brutes alive, and that the map hasn't reached MaxPerWave yet, so another two are generated.  After they're killed, checks will see that MaxPerWave has been hit and won't spawn any more Brutes.

At least that's the only sense I can make of it.  It works for what I've seen in the game so far, like crazy amounts of Brutes spawning if they are killed fast on waves without a MaxPerWave (11 notably) but never having more than MaxCount active at once.

Supposition, but evidence supports theory.

 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.


 I tried just once but it was random the host picked silver but random enemy and I was training to attempt silver later and it happened to give us reapers, i said hey this might finally be the moment and we only made it to wave 7. So considering we had two level 5's and me a lvl16 with one other a lvl20 but he wasn't too shabby, it gave me hope that if i had a good team it could be a sinch, and i have a mic but never use it, but willing to though if I hear someone talking and sayin "does anyone hear me? Hello?" I feel bad so I plug that mic in babyImage IPB GT: PR kid1991

Playing reapers on gold is a better challenge but only really because of the banshees. But I love the way they close in and often force you to go mobile, where the challenge of making sure you don't backpedal into a pack of ravagers and brutes comes into play. I, personally, think the other factions are too easy and I don't exactly have amazing guns or have leveled them up either. I'd like to see Cerberus and Geth get on the level of reapers, when it comes to difficulty.

We would, but we can't. Someone has to pull the data reports on Monday basically :)

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.

It's this complaining that is getting ridiculous. Why release 30+ hour single player story at all on PS3 if one can't get a couple of multiplayer items? *facepalm* Some people really need a reality check.

Besides if anyone's getting "sidelined" in the gaming world these days, it's the PC crowd. The ME games are no exception in suffering from "console-itis" and not taking advantage of the more versatile platform in many ways. It's funny console players always tend to mock PC gamers calling them whiners when they complain about what are legit and big industry-wide issues. Yet here we are, PS3 players complaining about not getting a virtual item or two that aren't even really notably better than the ones already available, but merely a slightly different flavor.

Just FYI and all, you don't need a mic. My experience anyway.

Teams tend to know what to do for the most part when they're working for a goal and the players are decent at it (no need to be super duper solo Gold level at all); it's pretty cool seeing people working together, supporting one another.

My problem with the game stems from being treated like dirt by EA customer support from the demo period onwards, a SP that built up greatly only to fall flat on its face at the end with endings that feel like they were just thrown together from a lack of caring, and the fact that, once again, the PS3 users aren't getting the things we were told to we could have.

There were leaks about these events ages ago, and it was stated that it would be on every format. now we find out, it's only on PC and 360. Bioware, if your going to have a game on all 3 formats, then do them properly on all 3, and don't side line any of them, or just don't bother relasing the game at all.

With the current backlash they're having over the endings fiasco, somehow I doubt they're going to say on Monday "Sorry guys, you missed by 27 Brutes!" :P

In any case, whenever I check for a match, it literally searches for 2 seconds and I'm in, so it seems there's tons of people playing. With a dozen or so dead Brutes per full Silver match (if not more), I think that million will be achieved pretty handily.

Chances are they'll do a PS3-only event later on to remedy this, whether it's a copy of this event or something slightly different. What's a few weeks here or there, since it's not critical content or anything? As they said, it's a technical issue. Chances are they truly intended it for to be on all 3 platforms simultaneously, but then they discovered said issue, and decided to not postpone it for others for the sake of one platform.

The endings are a bit... unfortunate for now, and whether or not they've got a "twist" planned for it is unknown. But even if it is a disappointment, and I agree it is, though not to the extent some say it is - people seem to forget it's not just about the destination, but the journey. And the journey was great, across all three games.

 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. 


AFAIK the reason they exclude PS3 from "cool things" is due technical difficulties, which are SONY's fault.
So, how much money you spent on ME3 is just as much irrelevant as Xbox players have to pay a monthly fee. Go QQ on the Sony PS3 forums.

Sincerely, a PC player.

So, will there be any way whatsoever to level up the N7 Arsenal weapons? I mean, new weapons are always nice, but if they're going to be permanently level 1, they won't be very useful.

Grrrr. I keep getting so close. But every time I get to wave 10 it's always a hackign event and with all the Banshees I just can't win. So this means I won't be able to get any N7 weapons, shame. I really need a new sniper rifle. The Mantis is good but I seem to keep getting any other weapon save Sniper Rifles.

Can anyone tell me where this pack is? I've completed Reapers on silver with partial extractions and I can't find my pack anywhere. Maybe I missed the notification.

Well.. I hope I get it. The other N7 Weapons suck imo.

Good luck everyone.


They are being rebalanced for MP, I think (ie they wont suck).


Will any other weapons be rebalanced as well?

Do we get >one< pack (one per player) for at least winning one silver/gold reaper game, or do we get one pack for every silver/gold reaper game we won?

Hey guys:

- PS3 is a bit of an ongoing thing (we don't WANT to keep omitting that console from these, honestly). We continue to work on that.
- The fix for kit relocking is going in soon, this weekend you should be in good shape (and we fully intend to restore anyone hit by that bug)
- this is the ONLY way to get the N7 Arsenal guns in MP right now (note you will only get 1, randomly). They are not being added to the main pack system.



How will upgrades work? Will we continue to get our N7 Weapon through Spectre packs, or will we be stuck with a lvl 1 weapon?


Any plans for those that have all of the N7/Pre-Order Weapons to be able to use them in MP in the future?...My Krogan Sentinel demands his M-55 Argus!
