same here from florida got a victory pack but no squad pack. i also beat it with all krogan/batarians/vorcha...on all difficulties even. i can only assume it comes later?
Thats what im assuming because i did countless squad goals this weekend just to be nice and helo other players out i mean yea i got kicked out of countless games but i did help who i could. but i know i should get a squad pack
Don't worry, just wait a day or 2 and if you still don't see your commendation pack, get in touch with EA support, they will add it back for you. I've had to do this for all the past operations except the very first one. Its frustrating to have to do this after every weekend event but I don't think its going to get fixed.

This event was bad because it accidentally shined a bright light on some of the weaknesses of ME3's match making system:
I played for several hours both Saturday and Sunday in pursuit of the squad goal at bronze, silver, and gold and only managed to get into one match where all four players had the right races. We only got a partial extraction, but I hope that counts.
I played numerous matches where a disconnect or player quit would insert a random class that presumably invalidated the run.
The lobby experience was frustrating. With a PUG of 4, none of whom are using mics, it's hard to communicate that a class change is needed. This led to a lot of kicking, which really sucks. Even without getting kicked, the random disconnects and failed matchmaking attempts cause a lot of time spent staring at loading screens. It's also not fun to sit in the lobby and wait for players of the right race, and I saw a lot of people drop because they couldn't wait long enough to find the right 4th player.
All told, I think I spent more time in lobbies and staring at loading screens than I did playing the game.
Based on this, a few suggestions:
If you're going to have squad challenges that require specific character classes (I'm all for it), the lobby system needs to be either much faster or more flexible. The loading screens are very slow, and the current lobby system (along with random disconnect) causes them to happen far more often than they should.
It would be nice to see tighter integration between the game and the event weekends. Others have mentioned ideas like progress meters for goals. Take it further and provide a way for players to actively opt-in to the campaign, or provide additional game modes where the lobby enforces constraints on class/race/level/whatever and attempts to optimize player mix. If I opt-in to the campaign, I want to know when I hit my personal or squad goal.
The whole system needs far better support for xbox live parties. I've had a few occasions where my lobby filled before the people in my party got past their loading screens, so my friends would get booted with a "match full" message. It's also not at all obvious whether party chat is public or private, which leads to a lot of confusion for new players who are trying to bring friends into the game. If I'm in a party, I want to be able to talk to the person in that party privately, but play with additional, publicly-recruited players. It would be even better to provide to ability to switch between both party and public comms with a visual indicator for the current mode. In my experience, people rarely use voice chat in the game unless they are playing with a friend.
I'm sure none of this stuff is easy, but there's a good enough foundation to build a truly excellent coop game. I've now poured easily 3x more time into multiplayer than I did on an intentionally-lengthy single player experience, which means it's already pretty great. Thanks for the hard work that produced such a great game.

maybe, just maybe, Bioware is the party that is keeping track of the stats on a week to week basis. maybe they realize how difficult the community challenge for that weekend is over the players of the game who have no way of knowing legitimately; for this reason they might not give out an bonus n7 weapon for people to literally just play the game. (Kill troopers? so challenging!)
I personally enjoyed this weekends challenge. Many people were playing the right characters and if they weren't I just (I know it's crazy) messaged them to inform them. If we couldn't get 4 people we just closed the lobby and played from there.
I have a complaint.. BW, can you post as many updates as possible on your blog so I don't have to search the forums and read witless complaints? There are justified complaints on this board but they are few and far between.

yeah, again ... sigh -.-
I complete the conditions the first day like usual. No pack so I have to get on chat w/ an EA person .... every frigging time. I just don't feel like doing it again - it will probably another level for the Kishok and some exp for a human adept again anyway.
