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


Ok, thanks.


Not sure this is accurate.  I believe you have to set extras/options/online to upload feedback (Xbox).  I got notifications under my BSN profile telling me I'd received the award(s).

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.


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

I didn't know they "buffed" it, I must not be down on the lingo.   I find it funny how some people fall so in love with a weapon that if someone disagrees they act like it's a personal attack against them (vonSlash).  How do you find out which guns they change?  I didn't realize they'd been changing weapon statistics.  Did they change the Carnifex too?  I swear, it seems like it's been doing less damage than it used to.   Either way, I don't like any SMGs that much, not my style.

Usually, for every other weekend event, it's told us in the middle of the day on Monday that we succeeded, so I'm guessing the extra info from the PS3 users finally getting to play is somehow slowing the process down.  They'll tell us that we've won soon.

Also.
Chris Priestly posted a personal status that he's on holiday this week.
So, not sure who would post the results in his stead.

Dumb question.......is the "upload gameplay feedback" the default on PS3? Not sure If I got any notice of completing the goals.....


The "Upload gameplay feedback" IS the default on the PS3, and the person who said consoles don't need to worry about that is wrong.

Its under "Online options" off the options menu.  I assume its in the same (or similar) place on the 360.

You still don't get told if you complete an N7 objective.  I assume the data is collected and then uploaded to the servers, and then processed, so they may not neccessarily have a "result" until its been processed.

It would be cool if they gave some statistics along with how many Phantoms got nixed like:

The N7 operatives acting as part of the PC bragade reported N phantom kills.
The N7 operatives operating out of cluster X-360 reported N phantom kills.
The N7 operatives supporting the PS3 initiative reported N phantom kills.

By theater of operation, the following reports have been collected:
<bronze/silver/gold>/<map> = <phantoms eliminated>

Or even just:
<bronze> = <phantoms eliminated>
<silver> = <phantoms eliminated>
<gold> = <phantoms eliminated>

As much as I would like to see a class or class/subclass breakdown I would advise against that, since there are other factors involed that might impact kill counts (the AA/AV who keeps Stasising them, or the Engineer who keeps stripping their barrier for instance).

Sorry, I guess I like stats (too much time working w/network stats :P)

The stats detailing where they are killed sounds awesome.

In case anyone else is curious - the "upload gameplay feedback" is in the options for the game, under the "extras" menu option. The default setting, on PC, is set to "on".

1 million phantoms? That really seems like a lot to me. I haven't played on Gold yet, but I've been fairly successful on Silver. Does any phantom killed by myself or teammate alike count? Or must I personally kill 1 million phantoms? Also, is there any way of keeping track of how many I've killed during this time? Last but not least, will phantom kills still count even everyone dies and the misison fails?

I've probably killed 100-200 Phantoms this weekend and that's with something  like 10+ Gold successful missions. The goal is cumulatively, for the entire community; this entitles everybody (even if you didn't do anything) to a Victory Pack.

If you played a Gold mission and at least one person made it to extraction you get a Commendation Pack, which is actually much better since it includes an exclusive N7 weapon.

That's the community-wide goal, so everyone on 360, PS3, and PC must have a grand total of one million phantoms hashmarks between themselves.  

Sadly, there is no way of tracking the number of specific enemies (or enemies in general) killed, all in the name of promoting cooperation instead of competition.  

Yes, your kills will count still if the mission fails.  A dead Phantom is a dead Phantom.  Should have counted still even with lost connections/rage quits.  

However, for the personal reward, you yourself have to be in a gold match where there is a successful extraction.

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.

I gues you have never used a turian before? Also hurrican is the most powerfull SMG out there, if you use it with the human soldiers adrenaline rush(if you dont completely suck) you can make it into a minigun.

Force pull down to pull down kick also helps  to reduce these issues most guns you cna force them down enough to atleast get a few nice shots mouse users on the PC have a easier time than Controllers
