I would rather it give the Typhoon to anyone who already maxed the N7 Char.
My thoughts exactly.
Why are these operations so boring? BW said they are switching to an operation once in two weeks instead of every week to make them more interesting. But they are still boring and the rewards are...unsatisfying. I will be happy for people who don't have all Earth chars and will have the chance to finally get one, but myself, I feel like I will get another lvl 4 ammo. Ridiculous. Why not start to give Ultra-rares for Operations? Instead of crappy N7 weapons

So what is the new Extraction time limit? 3 minutes? Good! More time for us to kill ****.

What if you already have all maxed Earth Characters? Level IV gear, maybe?
You will get a Rare card instead.

Just curious (and I can't be bothered searching through the entire thread again)... but why is everyone hung up on the Rare card being Level IV ammo? Has that been confirmed, or is it just a random Rare card? If it's the latter... you have a chance to get a rare weapon/rare mod/rare gear/rare characters... that's just four reasons there to have a go (unless you're one of the ones who have unlocked all of your rares, then yes, probably will just get a Level IV ammo then).
Chris clarified earlier that it will be a "rare card" in the event we have maxed out all the Earth characters.I assume that to imply that it will be random too.However,as we all know,level 4 ammo has about as much chance to drop as gold character cards in the past,that is to say that it is MOST LIKELY to be such.

Community goal not worth it. I'll do what it take to get my Eagle V along with my teammates promos but that's it.
If you play as much as I and most of the people I play with the extra time it takes to get extraction cuts down on the total number of games me and my team can get in and that mean less credits overall. More credits = more packs purchased and more URs.
Also I'm still pissed at BW for screwing up the community goal last time. Most players had no idea you had to get a FULL extraction and thanks to the poorly communicated mission objective believed a partial extraction applied to the goal. Only those who read deep into a massive thread found out that a full extraction was required. Me and my team played only Reapers for that entire weekend using up medigels to get full extraction for nothing. Not going to repeat that mistake for a lousy rare card.
Out of curiosity, what exactly are you going to do when you max everything?

Gentlemen and ladies and assorted sentient beings, in just 29 hours we will be joining the greatest armada in galactic history. Comprising forces form the Systems Alliance and both her allies and former enemies, united by a single purpose, victory over the Reapers.
The Reaper, took our Worlds, our homes and our loved ones, now it is time to take the fight to them and teach them the one thing all humans known. “Paybacks a ****!”
Whether Earth, Colony or Space born, we humans are all children of mother Earth, the cradle of our civilization. Now is our time to “Take Earth Back! Or die trying.”
Failure is not an option here, the remnants of our race are watching and the hopes of the galaxy are riding on this Operation. Victory here may not end the war, but it will mark the beginning of the end.
Good luck, Gentlemen and ladies and assorted sentient beings and see you on the battlefield.
This units N7 Demolisher Kelly, will be spearheading our assault form the Xbox 360 System.
Capt. Councilworker
<Transmission Ends>

Still no answer if we who have all characters etc unlocked only will get a "rare consumable"?
PLEASE CHRIS ANSWER US
Chris already said that it will be a "rare card".Suffice to say,we can safely ssume that it will be a random gold card which can include gold ammo too.Given the high drop rate for gold ammo,I would say that it will be the most likely thing to drop for those of us in such a scenario.

I fear that is the case, however it would be swell if Chris could answer us directly regarding this.
No point in doing extractions then after the personal goal is done otherwise.

Please don't skip me (im assuming it does) when i accomplished any of the objectives. My report to ea help was late and they could no longer give me my commendation pack. I have experienced this problem ever since Operation Goliath. So please computer thing that counts valid players who completes the allied and squad objectives, take your time in counting valid players T_T. Thank you for reading.
Sincerely yours,

PS: this is not a joke its serious plus i always have my feedback thing on. thanks again

But for the sake of the community and the majority of the players (people with maxed out Earth characters are a minority at the moment), would it be so horrible to extract just once? By your own description that's only 5 extra minutes, but if all the people who normally don't bother with extraction did just one extraction each this weekend, that would help a ton for this allied goal.Gockey wrote...

Mate; you get a Rare pack. According to your own manifest you've not unlocked 5 gear packs, and have not one at level 5, so why do you insist on saying you'll get a lvl 4 ammo? Look at my manifest and after that just keep your mouth please.
I do farm Gold or Platinum on a regular base and we all die after the objective done in round 10, but doing it this weekend will get you a lot of (Imo deserved) bad reputation.
Because my manifest was never the point. (Though I do have one at L5 =P). That's another strawman argument. Extraction is still not worth it. If it was a squad goal and only required doing it one match sure. But wasting an hour or more on the extraction waves (assuming 5 minutes per extract with the penalty and 12 matches over the course of the Op at minimum) isn't worth the rare card.
So again *yawn* Everyone that is in my shoues is still better served by stopping at wave 10. :innocent:
Self-interest will guide such folks to at least one (partial/lone/full) extraction for the squad goal. Fear not! As long as the "what's in it for me" aspect has been addressed, right? We just have to trust that these "go-getters" will allow at least one person to carry them to their squad goal as they lay down and die.
Miss Cleo called. She said your clearly not a psychic and that your fired.
Self-interest is more likely to drive those motivated by credits and effciency to do the opposite: continuing in a course of behaviour that is the most profitable, least risky and most fun. I.e. Not extract.

Those previous failed operations had specific target enemies and/or difficulty level (and during those operations, I've joined games where people were playing against non-op enemies/level). This time, it's N7 character for squad goal but thankfully not involved in the allied goal.
I wonder if it's possible for BW to announce such operations at the menu screens of the various platforms?

I look forward to respeccing my Demolisher to a more "Share and enjoy" role and helping people get their commendation packs on the 360.
Anyway, sorry for breaking the flow, I'll let you lot get back to your discussion about the rewards and stuff.

I'm concerned about the number of people who actually know about these challenges, since as what others have said, the number who visits the forum might be much lower than those actually playing. Even if these targets are considered reasonable within the player community, we might not hit the target if the criteria are not set for all enemies/difficulty level (ie. random and all-encompassing).

They do? Just like in Halo Reach there is a full screen advert that pops up when one of these goes live at the main menu of the game (at least on 360).
