We failed.


Or perhaps we "failed."

Announcement in locked thread (unformatted, no less), no numbers given, Earth referred to in the "failure" announcement....

Sound familiar?

(same thing (except for locked announcement thread) happened with Silencer-Rebellion, for anyone newer than that that doesn't know what I'm talking about).

Where in the initial BioWare announcement did it specify 400k successful FULL extractions? Partial and Sole Survivor Extractions are still successful extracts, by game definition.

I'm confused. And a bit disapointed.

Maybe we didn't fail? They found the lost ballots in florida? Why not Zoidberg?

This operation was complete BS. The first page of this thread still says "Special Circumstances: None" right after a simple statement of extractions. There is no comment on FULL extractions except by one offhanded post by a dev, on the forums which only a small percentage of people read, and was NOT listed in the splash screen that probably few people read anyway (considering the number of non reaper games I ended up in during the weekend, VERY few people). The only thing they could do worse at this point is come out and tell us that we needed a full gold extraction for the commendation pack, in which case I will quit this game, new DLC or no. I don't like wasting my time only to be screwed over.

Cat's already out of the bag.We failed,no doubt about it.

I think the reason that thread was taken off was because the poster did not arrange it in a proper and neat format.It was pratically a wall of red text. Once they typed out a nice letter,they will post it again.

Yeah I dunno.  It clearly states 400,000 squads.  A squad is, by definition, a full squad.  Did you really think 400,000 extractions of any type over the weekend was the 'challenge'?

Seeing as virtually no one I ran into understood that it needed to be a full extraction, I think it's safe to say they could've been much clearer.  This failure is totally on them, and I hope they realize it.

We failed because now the Galaxy will come to OUR aid on Earth... No matter what we did, it was part of the story of the MP Universe...

From: Admiral Steven Hackett
Re: Operation BROADSIDE
Confidentiality classification: XB-PRIME
Distribution: N7 Forces Only

Soldiers of the Milky Way – There is an old human expression: “You reap what you sow.” The word “reap” has been co-opted by our enemy, but this does not make the expression any less true. We have spent much time in recent weeks planting seeds. We recruited, we trained, we defended, all in the hopes that, sometime soon, we would have enough breathing room to mobilize against the enemy on a grand scale. Over the past few days, we did just that. Operation BROADSIDE attacked Reapers all over the galaxy, and we made them take notice. They expected to fight asari on Thessia, turians on Palaven, batarians on Khar’shan, but what they got was turian bombardments covering vorcha troops using human tactics in asari streets. It was perhaps due to this complexity that BROADSIDE did not go as planned. We sought a way to defeat a numerically superior ground force with little loss of life, but there was no sure strategy to adopt. When we innovate, our enemy adapts. Yes, we’ve seen losses, but a war worth fighting does not come without a cost. Take inspiration in that. I know it is discouraging to fight for alien real estate when we have not yet taken the battle to your own homeworld. Operational secrecy prevents me from saying exactly when we will deploy and in what strength. All I can say to those who are waiting is one word: Soon.

–Admiral Hackett
That was the announcement that was deleted or was it?

Squad Goal: Extract at least one squad member against Reapers on Gold difficulty
Allied Goal: Extract 400,000 squads against Reapers on ANY difficulty
Special Circumstance: None


they way that words it out it meins at lest 1 member of the squad must extract so to win we needid 400,000 games with at lest 1 player getting extracted. on ether gold, silver, or bornze.

not the hole squad.

when they say squads they me at lest 1 member must live and make it to the extraction point. and we need that to hapen 400,000 times not 400,000 times for the hole squad
