3 million may seem high, but we decimated the Brutes, and I believe this time we will have PS3 players participating.

The phantom numbers were released?

1.5 mil according to bioware

"Over" 1.5 million according to Bioware. Unless I see the exact number I'm going to suspect that they massively downplayed it to make it look like the 'challenge' was actually somewhat of a challenge. 1.5 million sounds extremely low.



You also have to figure that, since they have the numbers for Operation Exorcist they wouldn't make a challenge that they felt was actually impossible. (If we only got 1.5 million phantoms then they must see that we probably wouldn't hit 3 million banshees)

For those saying 'don't waste your rockets, the victory pack isn't worth it'... do you not normally use rockets against banshees on Gold? If you don't, then go ahead and feel free to continue not using them. Just play as you normally would, earn the credits for completing objectives to buy packs to replenish the equipment that you'd normally have to replace, and consider the victory pack a nice little bonus for doing something other than FBWGG.

One thing that we may forget is that Silver had reduced Phantom counts until recently. Phantoms seemed a bit more rare than banshees up until the previous update. Hopefully it gets done, but I think it's a little early to say "Nooooo. We failed!"

But the same statement applies.

Nope. Or rather it wouldn't be if the Victory pack was actually decently special and worth the effort many of us put into the initial Brute hunt. I'll tell you I did not try nearly as hard with the Phantom hunt.

I don't think it was that much over 1.5 million, I may be naive but I still have faith in what they report is true.
And 1.5 million isnt that low, as a gold player I thought it was extreamly low at first but on bronze and silver brutes are way more common than phantoms.

And I think banshees are more common as well, especially compared to the old phantom spawnings.

So, 3 million banshees seem like A LOT and I think it will be though, I rally hope that we all can rally together and take care of them!

[Barneyk]

And the Victory pack is a bit lame, but everyone gets it, even the players who didn't participate at all.

I am playing for the collective challenge and I hope that more people will this weekend!

I wouldn't be so sure about that - I've never killed 5 Banshees at spawn with a single rocket before, Phantoms I have... on gold there are probably twice as many Phantoms as Banshees.

This one, I think we may fail - Banshees are the single, hardest unit to kill - they take an obscene amount of punishment (I think only Atlases take more) and they're tricky to headshot when they're in jumpy jumpy mode - I think we're gonna need that Biotic God Volus from ME2

[MockingAsp]

As far as I know, headshotting a Banshee does nothing special.

And I suppose it's possible that they might have upgraded the rewards.

[Ankarah]

if they made it so that the victory pack will contain an ultra rare,

then we may be enticed to play the reapers all weekend long

[Unnamed_Shadow]

i can honestly say...that before the 1st day of operation silencer ends....we will have already beaten the mark of killing 3 million banshees....

if there are 100k ppl playing on gold and the average ratio of banshee's per gold match is 50...that means 100k ppl kill 1250000 per match done...

this operations are way too easy....they need to make them a real challenge....kill 10 million banshees....still with the number of ppl playing is still pretty possible

[Bioras]

Depends on what the reward is. If it's the same as the last...YES!!!!! And ^&%% yes.!! If they want to put that much of a challenge up...the rewards need to be up there. Tonignt I took down 3. Lastnight I was instakilled by 2. If we have to kill that many of something that instakills on bronze...the reward had better be more than a couple of medigels.

[Igipopp]

Keep calm and carry on!

[greghorvath]

Yes. This is called: "a challenge". Finally

i'm super bummed about this.

[joker_jack]

Wasn't the last reaper challenge 3 million brutes? I think we are in the good on this.

Is the average gold match 50 banshees? That seems like an overestimation, but it may be true. And where do you get the info 100k ppl play gold?

There are also, at least, two to three times more brutes that spawn during one mission than banshees. On bronze, there are only three or four banshees that spawn throughout the entire match, versus eight to ten brutes.

squad goal is gonna be easy, but considering that you'll only see 8-10 banshees per game - even on gold - killing 3,000,000 banshees is gonna be pretty damn tough.

uh...  there were 8-10 in the first 7 rounds i played last night. we had a disconnect during round 5 and 3-manned it until round 7 (private game).  i'm guessing 12 - 15 per gold match.

Bit*ing & moaning already?

Looking forward to this weekend.

its all estimates...but they certainly are more than 30 banshees per gold match....assuming one reaches extraction of course

4 banshees on wave 3 or 4
6 banshees on wave 5 or 6
8 banshees on wave 7 or 8
10 banshees on wave 10
15 banshees on extraction wave *we wont be able to kill them all but they are there*

no info...its just based on the ranking lists...if the ranking list has 250k players....200k actually play the game...and then i assume half of them have played on gold matches or will play gold matches during the operation...*btw im only using the PC list, the number might increase if we add the PS3 and the Xbox list*

the only thing i can assure you is that before the 1st day of operation silencer ends...we will have already killed more than 3 million banshees...

Unless they change the victory pack and make it actually good, I'm not sure I'm gonna play reapers. I'll go for the commendation pack though, I need my eagle III (sarcasm inside...)

Ahah!So i am not the only one i see, 3 commendation packs, 3 Eagles for me so far. I am aiming at the 4th!What a luck :/. About the Victory pack i have to agree, until they drop something good inside em, doing allied goal doesn't make any sense, it is better to spam FBW/G/G waiting for PSP.
