Consoles dont need to worry about that, its just the PC players. And no, you dont get notices when you complete one.

BTW the maxed explosive blades do less damage than the max damage+ bleed ones. and they do it slower. so the explosion upgrade is pretty pointless.:innocent:


Damage isn't everything. Exploding blades stagger enemies, and since the blades also staggers when you first shoot it you have an ability that staggers everyone around you twice! That gives you the opportunity to heavy melee, melee combo, or line up easy headshots on 2 enemies instead of just one.


i use a light shotgun. i can launch new blades, with the armor on. within 3 seconds. so exploding blades indeed, are useless for me :) and i bet for many others. For not even thinking it through, i hope you get an eagle from your pack :P


Ok, first, the exploding blades are cool to watch.  It's meant to be a fun add-on to the game - besides the exploding melon visual of a perfectly placed headshot, the best gory visual in MP is watching some hapless assault trooper flail his arms until he explodes into wet goo after being hit by a ballistic blade.

Second - hoping anyone gets an eagle is EVIL.  I wouldn't wish that on a Phantom.

I had no idea this exorcist weekend was for the PS3 till someone told me yesterday. Finished quite a few gold matches, but this does explain the huge load of medioker players with terrible ranks joining the games. Or trying to join, since we kicked almost everyone:D


The rank alone says nothing, as lot of people opt. not to promote. Look at their gear instead.

One of the Gold matches I finished this weekend to extraction with everyone alive was with an N7 18 and a 42, both using an Avenger III and Predator I.  Other guy was a 182 using nothing but an Arc Pistol IV.  And it only took 24 minutes!  I was going to quit when I saw these people and their loadouts, but I stuck with it.  The 182 and myself scored around 80000 while the Avengers scored 30000 or less, though.


LOL are you sure they didn't change it to silver last minute. 


+1 :lol:

Wait, what? Is the eagle bad or something? I was hoping to get it (got a valiant last pack), although I would rather get the hurricane since its buffs.


Eagle one does about 2/3 damage / shot than a phalanx 10. so its basically the same base damage, and the fire rate doesnt compensate much, considering you can tap phalanx almost as fast as eagle shoots, with phally still being more accurate and with no recoil xD

oh and despite being weaker than phalanx eagle 1 weighs as much or more than phalanx 1 xD

I'm confused about the events, do you get something that you can't get by normally playing/unlocking?

I've played many hours with friends, 2 great players and some random games. I couldn't get past wave 8 myself. My nephew got to wave 10, another nephew extracted like the first game he played with randoms. He could get it done with me though :(

Disappointing.

Very disappointing.


If you did the squad goal, extract (even Lone Survivor works) on Gold, then you will get a Commendation Pack. This pack will give one N7 special weapon that you cannot get in the normal packs. Eagle, Crusader, Valiant, Hurricane.


If we meet the community goal of 1 mil Phantoms killed then we all get a Vicotry Pack, which is really no better then a veteran pack.

It was rather crule of them to put the extract on Gold, however for those of us who have been playing since release it was not as much of a challenge. Any of the new players who came in during last weeks DLC release would have had a rough time.

On the bright side most of those event N7 weapons are not as good as the Gold (and even some Silver) weapons you can unlock normally. The only agreed execption is the sniper rifle N7 Valiant. The Eagle Heavy Pistol, Hurricane SMG, and Crusader Shotgun all have debated usefulness.

I like the idea of events, but to withhold content always gets my feathers ruffled. The only thing I don't like about modern gaming. Besides the extra $10 for console games which still confounds me. Hopefully they will make more events for those who missed out, or didn't complete the challenge.

I agree, they should keep the extract on silver or at least give us a harder difficulty for veteran players so we don't have to deal with the lower lvls. However I don't know what's so good about the valiant (given I don't have one) It's a 3 shot sniper rifle with fairly average damage that's similar to the black widow right? I already have a black widow 2 and I'm not sure if the valiant is better or not.

It's lighter weight then the Black Widow, doesn't have the wall pierce, but does have a faster reload time (for the clip). It's an okay middle ground for a multi-shot sniper, especially for those the RNG doesn't like and can't for the life of them get a Black Widow (<- me for a long time, got it finally). I've found it good for hunting those mid-tier enemies like Marauders, Centurians, and Geth Hunters. You're usally loosing damage to the shield gate effect anyways and the quicker reloads just mean your getting more shots into more things.

It's not an uber-weapon that makes all other bad, however it actually has a place in the line-up.

I would, hopefully the phantom will switch to the eagle.

I wouldn't worry about "losing" any of these events. Even if we do, they'll say we won. They need good press right now. They need to put the appearance of a massive community playing their game out there, so they'll keep saying we overwhelmingly beat the goal every time, whether it's true or not.

personally, i enjoyed this challenge more than the previous ones. i hadn't played on Gold level prior to this event, and i found it very challenging. i only play on PC it was really tough finding a good squad. i did a few successful missions, mostly as an asari adept, justicar,or vanguard. i actually think i may have been part of bonerfest's team on the successful missions. you don't forget a name like that. my gamer tag is imnotarobotN7 if any PC gamers want to put together a team for the next challenge. i'm not that good but i at least now i know im not that bad either.

The Hurricane sucks.  It's the weakest SMG and the recoil is horrid.  The only thing it's got is an insanely fast rate of fire which you can't even take advantage of because if you hold the trigger, you'll be shooting the ceiling in two seconds flat.  I'd rather have the Valiant.  That's the only one people seem to think compares to the guns you can normally get.  Most of these N7 weapons are nothing special.

Either you've been living under a rock and haven't heard about the massive buffs to the Hurricane, or you've never tried any other SMG. At close range, the Hurricane tops all other automatic/burst fire weapons except maybe the Revenant.

I still prefer Valiant to the Black Widow once you put extended barrel + piercing on it. It's reload is incredible, and even on gold it punches hard enough (especially with shield drain) to tear apart anything that will be coming at you.

Exactly the hurricane is ridiculously powerful at close range. A Vanguard could make good use of one.
