UPDATE:
 Hey all, just got a few replies from Mr. Hollan about this whole situation. Apparently, the announcement was made too early and they are "discussing how to proceed cautiously". I'm not sure what this means, but it could mean we possibly won. Or they just planned to tell us we failed when the DLC drops.

"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. 
-Hackett out"

More Proof needed?

I wasn't surprised at all. It was a challenge we were supposed to fail.

If we couldn't kill 4 million Banshees how the heck were we supposed to manage 400,000 FULL extractions against the Reapers?

Yeah not surprised ether. Too many people trying for the Squad goal that people forgot the Operations revolve around the Community Goal.

Alright troops, grit your teeth because we're going into Platinum with a medi-gel shortage!

I think people were going for the gold matches for the squad kittie. I did my bit though 9 full extractions on silver and two on gold.

Not our fault. The info about allied goal is misleading. I suspect they did this on purpose.

It probably would have helped if they communicated that we'd need full extractions. I didn't know until 1 day into the Operation, and even then, it was only because of BSN.

I think that's garbage. They didn't announce that they had to be full extractions until halfway through the event.

This has nothing to do with Gold.

Not enough players realized that a FULL extraction was needed for the community goal. Also, the endless waves and games of Banshees really take a toll. All it takes is one magnet hand to ruin the whole game.

Me neither. It was definitely possible and I hope we get a similar or more difficult event.

But I fear the community would only fail again. It's not until Bioware cracks down and puts restrictions on Gold and Platinum difficulty that player skill can truly flourish.

Also, fix the bugs and the servers. 

And don't tell players halfway through the event that full extractions are required.

Though I feel you shouldn't have to, I mean why wouldn't you want to get full extraction outside of farming runs?

Banshees suck more than anything that has ever sucked before.

I blame them.

yep wasn't surprised. Especially since BW didn't clearly explain in the mission log about the extractions needing to be full extractions. If I didn't read the forums I would have not known about the difference for the community goal.

In PUG, no matter how hard you try, there's always some idiots charging away at the last moment or get killed by something. Because they didn't realize it should be full extraction.

Yeah they really need to write their announcements more clearly. This type of confusion happens every two weeks.
