It's hard to get 3.000.000 banshees killed, if you even can't find a lobby. Connecting to a game is getting harder and harder, are the servers overloaded or something ?
I'm skipping the Gold challenge, to many **holes who think the world of themselves, because they can shoot a bit better then me. Their attitude really kills the fun of the game ...

Update : just tried to find a lobby and after 30 minutes of waiting and trying on different difficulties, I'm still not connected to a lobby, I'm gonna quit this weekend. I've got better things to do ...

One of the features I like about Left4Dead is that even if you can't find a full lobby, you can start and eventually people will come join.  If people bail on you (and they do) you aren't hosed.

I could imagine Bioware programmers could attach the squad AI to any absent (or idle) players.  Sure they aren't as good as real players but its better than contemplating your belly button.  If it is programmed well,  its a simple check and branch depending on if a live player is currently connected to a unit.  Of course, I say simple, the devil is in the details.

I don't think it's possible, at least not now. it would be like playing the SP without control over you squad, and aren't that smart. I think it's better to try solo.

 You tried to create the lobby? I always do it, work just fine. But clearly there's something wrong, sometimes nobody join the lobby, so I go out and create a new one, and just just pop up instantaneously. There's clearly a bug in the joining mechanics..

Finally found a Gold lobby with some teamplayers and got trough with full extraction against the Geth on FBW. It was not that hard when everybody stuck together and revived eachother a couple of times. But it is hard to find good teammates ;-),  thanx for the guys/girls who helped me (= Cyber_Addict_NL) through gold ! I hope it was still on time ...

I can't imagine it will run for 13 more hours. That means it's tuesday 2 AM here, almost 24 hours difference.. That's not even possible..

Bioware goes by PST (West Coast US Time Zone), so it will run until whatever time they post PST.  So basically you have to convert that time to whatever your time is.

Where do they publish the challenges' final tally? I didn't see one last time, though everyone was commenting something like 1,5M Phantoms were killed.

[IchikoSakura]

Chris will release the message on the boards here.

Hmm. I didn't catch it last time. Thanks for the heads up!

If like me your in the GMT zone of Europ then you should be ok, can't help with the other time zones.

Hope you do get the Pack as it would suck if you missed out.

Time to leve work, and kick some alien behinds and chew gum and I'm all out of gum!

After the event is over, on Tuesday or Wednesday like usual. It's not over yet.

I live in uk so hopefully same time just want to get my 2nd promational weapon just hope it isnt the hurricane even though its good I got it at V2 from operation Golliath.

[Walk2k]

or never

[Mash-X-ToDieSlower]

We totally got this one guys.

I did the math, over the weekend my teams took out conservatively 1000 Banshees.
There's no way we didn't pass this challenge.

[Maj Williams]

Do you guys think if we are successful, the Banshees will show up less like with the Brute challenge? I hope so...

[Variasaber]

I've had good luck with Commendation Packs so far, got a Hurricane, a Valiant, and an Eagle, each in separate op weekends. I wonder if my luck will continue and get me a Crusader?
The chances of getting a Crusader are 1 in 4 theoretically, and if that holds true the chances of getting one of each weapon overall are 3 in 4 x 1 in 2 x 1 in 4, or 3 in 32, which is slightly higher than 1 in 11...

Around 20 or over Banshees killed on my match but didnt play anymore maybe do some after...

[Equinoxe4]

I did not count, could have been 100, could have been 250 Banshees on gold and silver among me and my random compadres over the weekend. Full extraction on gold is the only really important thing anyway. That and the upgrades to my Paladin, Saber and Talon from all those PSPs I bought. .

[Walk2k]

0 for me, because I don't care about lame Victory paks
did one WGG extraction for the Comm pak
that's even if I get it, still missing multiple paks from the last 2-3 events

[Barneyk]

Does anyone really do this for the victory pack?
For me, I like the feeling of a group challenge and having something to strive for...

i killed at least 100 this weekend. on gold with a team of 3 biotics and an infiltrator its pretty easy. raptor is a great map for it

[phil2512]

I like taking part in events like this at least everyone gets something for taking part even though it may be crap prizes.
Done my game with a drell adept setting up combos with reave and throwing cluster grenades to get rid of any useless reapers and deal great amount of damage.

I find actually found Hydra a lot better than Raptor - more open stretches of territory. You can clearly see where enemies are coming from, and Ravagers aside, Reapers are generally pretty easy.

Don't forget to add a few extra days to account for the expected "unforseen problems".
