No wonder they lost, they had phantoms, banshees, AND Geth Hunters flanking them! D:

@Jos since we have you here in this thread (thx for stoping by, btw! :) - is the exctraction issue on Jade intended? Meaning, if you're in cover you won't get extracted. Or is this a bug that hopefully gets fixed in an upcoming patch?


I keep a constant eye on the MP section of the forums, and read pretty much anything that directly relates to any levels. Always interested to read people's thoughts on levels (especially when they're critical opinions), so I weighed in on this one. :)
As far as the extraction's concerned, we're looking into it.


I got the same issue and I though it was weird...

I will remember to move before extraction...

Goddess against Geth using something uber squeeshy like an Ex Cerberus is much much worst. That's a rage quit waiting to happen.

LOL. That base was my first and last time using the cerbguard. Took max amps for defense and full fitness. I swear he was squishier than my drell adept. As soon as the charge finished his shields were already down.

If you really want to camp on Jade, do it in the room in the lower right. They can only come from two directions there and you can see them a mile ahead. Many cover positions behind the desks there, too and an ammo crate directly to your left.


Great post, and also love the artwork.  Nicely done.

With a good team, and spread out properly, you can defend well from up there.  However, it is stil relatively easy to have the odd enemy unit spawn behind you.

As Siran says, I too have found the lower right room to be a great place to 'hold the fort'.  Enemies can come at you from only two directions, and with two covering positions—left (towards LZ) and two covering forward (righ stairs coming down from upper level)—it is pretty easy to hammer at enemy units while being relatively safe.  Mind you, the team has to pay attention to both side or it is easy to have enemies on top of you before you know it.

I prefer to remain on the move. It forces me to be more vigilant and keeps the game from becoming a grind. If I get bogged down, I usually retreat or find another way around. The great thing about the constant movement is that it stops the enemy from stacking up and coming as one large horde.

I +1 the drawings :D

But you should draw a Krogan at the opposite end of the map and a banshee magnet grabbing him.

Firebase Jade is the only map where im most scared of cerberus. Why? Because the turrets can, when placed at key locations can cover the map in its whole length.
Also i hate FBJ...its my new Condor.

your on my friends list lol. you gonna eb on tonight?


Doubtful.   A lightning strike fried my xbox ethernet card and I need to wait til Friday to go buy a new xbox.  Sucks.  And Bioware just buffed the two main classes I play.

Dam thats some bad luck. Thats why i have all my stuff hooked up to an expensive Surge Protector. Been thinking about getting a UPS system too for my xbox, TV , laptop etc


My xbox, tv, and all of that is on a surge protector.  My cable modem is in a different room and wasn't on a surge protector.  It got fried and the short got sent back through the ethernet cable and fried the ethernet card.  The xbox still works, just can't connect to the internet.


If you don't mind voiding the warranty or if its out of warranty it should be an easy sway. either that or get a wireless USB adapter?

Also, you should get that checked before it develops into lots of speculation.

But especulations are so fun, right?


Isn't speculation what Casey wanted from us?

 I really quite like the topdown layout drawing of the level, nice job. :)There are several more spawnpoints than you've pointed out (I went ahead and checked after seeing your drawings), but yes, you want to make sure you don't ignore the labs behind the balcony, lest you want to be surprised.

I love having the enemies spawn on both sides of me! Especially the over powered stun lockers ... erm geth.

I'm in the camp who likes to fortify the lower right room...so far it has worked like a charm..of course against Reapers you will have to bend but not break but that's almost all maps with them anyway
