Got an N7 Hurricane in mine, as well as an SMG stabilization mod.

Nice. :)

I got a Hurricane II in my pack.  I can't think of a worse ultra rare for me.  I almost never use SMGs and that thing has such a brutal kick that it's almost unusable.


I hate it in single player, but pleasantly surprised how effective it is in multiplayer.  And I generally hate the SMGs too. lol  But finally changed my mind thanks to the Hurricane!

I've grown quite fond of the Crusader, so I'm quite happy with my Crusader III

I managed to get it.  It's a wonderful addition to the Hurricane.

Same here, didn't understand the hype of this SMG, all the accuracy of a dead storm trooper, and about as lethal as one as well.  I like my Saber for it's uncanny abillity of occasionally taking someones head off, and backup Evicerator for those close encounters (and for when I run out of ammo for the saber), could really do with some level ups for those guns though.


You just have to learn how to aim it properly (yes, this involved moving the joystick while shooting).  Also, you can't expect to use ANY submachine gun at long range except for the Kassa Fabrication Locust.  They are meant to be most effective at mid to short range.  Also, with Turians and certain equipment mods, you can decrease its kickback.  That said, the Hurricane is less useful in the one-player campaign, but VERY useful in Multi-player.

The other rule about the Hurricane is that you have to fire it in bursts.  The longest burst I can manage while still maintaining aim is maybe 3 to 4 seconds.  However, it rips through unprotected targets, shields, and barriers, especially at close range.

First: Thank you Bioware, I think you may have cut me (and others generally) some "slack" in the extraction requirement...

Second: In MP Hurricane seems really great, even Hurricane I (I'm at III now) if it's close range with a character with decent distance powers i.e. as an emergency close-range weapon. Lots of damage. Also unlike e.g. Geth SMG no warm-up.

I'm not surprised the overall goal failed, considering how many gold attempts it took me to get through with other randoms, I only had time for one or two bronze/silver matches to go for the full squad extraction goal, I'm sure many others were in the same boat, trying for the squad goal meaning no/little time spent on overall goal.

Third: Crusader so I'm Crusader II now, meh, but as per reasons below I'm happy to have gotten the pack (and I got an N7 piranha from a victory pack I bought right afterwards...).

Reasons for thanks: I thought I'd failed the requirements (had completed wave 10 but semi-problems reviving with medigel, semi-I'm not great at getting through brutes and banshees blocking the way to the extraction zone, led to what I thought was failed extraction of even a single squad member), which really annoyed me considering all the ammo, medkits and rockets I'd expended throughout the weekend to only get to that point once. Also I only found out time for challenge was extended AFTER I thought it was over and promoted the level 20 I'd been using...

I pretty much gave the Hurricane SMG to my Turian soldier.  Give him a high Marksman ability, it can decrease the kickback.

Am I missing something here?

I mentioned earlier in this thread (page 23?) that I was on a team Friday night that made Full on Gold/Reapers/Hydra.

As of this post, I haven't received a commendation pack. However, a friend of mine (who didn't play much this weekend and didn't finish any gold matches) received a commendation pack last night - the first time he's logged into Origin since Sunday.

Seeing a commendation pack handed out to a person (or persons) that didn't even complete the task is confusing. 'Rewarding' those that didn't complete the task before those that actually did boggles my mind. According to my friend (and I can say with high confidence he's not pulling my leg), he's received every commendation pack, whether he's participated in the challenges or not - is this a pre-order thing?

I'm haven't looked in the mirror yet, but I'm pretty sure I'm starting to get that frowny face I mentioned in my previous post...

Crappy. I didn't see the official FAILURE notice until now.

Can we see some stats on this mission (and for all future missions, plz)? Detailed feedback will help the community adapt to future challenges.


+1 for justice.

It would be nice if there was a live counter that kept the community updated. Then maybe people would come together and work on the objective if we were behind.

It also seems really hard to believe that we didn't pass this objective. If 100,000 people played 16 bronze matches with full extraction, over the course of Friday night through early Monday morning, done. I played Friday night, all day Saturday, and all day Sunday. So 50+ full extractions for me.

Also, Bioware, please do a better job on keeping us informed on the operations. These typo's are becoming an epidemic. I keep seeing posts giving bad information or leaving out critical info. Not specifying full extraction for Operation Broadside, Operation Mastiff post advertising that the allied goal awards a victory pack gauranteeing an N7 weapon (if it did, I didn't get one. Link: http://blog.bioware....ration-mastiff/ ), etc. Also kept refreshing the bioware blog waiting on an update that never came, because I didn't know the website would be under maintentance during announcement time.

And, please, please, make it up to players like me who never received packs for previous operations. If the award is a promotional N7 weapon, how else are we supposed to get it?

Check my post here: http://social.biowar.../index/12781561

There you will find what I had to go through. I got the pack manually added for the most recent operation as of that post and didn't have a problem getting my commendation pack this time. They never did anything about the others I didn't get though, so act today.

If it helped you, reply to the topic so others can see it.

I'll be honest and say I like the Hurricane.

Although to be honest, that might just be because I tore through 2 Brutes and 3 Atlas's with it on Platinum about a hour ago.

I am not sure. But it seems I got two com packs. Mostly supplies in one pack. An N7, a mod and something else in another pack. Maybe I was mistaken?

And the reapers in Gold seemed harder to beat during the challenge. Is it just me?
