The only trouble I have with certain players (I wont generalize by saying "randoms") is that they kick you over your N7 Rank which doesnt mean a damn thing, at all. Mine is sitting at 120 because I simply DONT WANT TO PROMOTE MY CHARACTERS.

That and they refuse to use any consumable equipment, specifically on Gold difficulty. Just because Platinum was added, thats no excuse to hold back on your Medigels/Missiles/whatever when you know it will help the team win the match.


Unfortunately, it happens and it will keep happening. The best you can do is shrug it off and move on, no point wasting time on people who judge you before even seeing what you are capable of. It's certainly ironic, as I have met so many N7s with barely above 200 rating who had shown themselves to be skilled Platinum players (as opposed to multitudes with the rating nearing thousand[-s] who were downright horrible). 
Which makes me think this is just another design flaw. If N7 rating could be increased by actual feats (upgrading your gear, or completing extractions) along with character promotions, it would be a little more reliable. 

The only time I feel a great urge to kick someone (regardless of their rating) is on Platinum, when they ready themselves with no ammo/armor/weapon bonuses chosen at all. This is never a good sign, and if there is more than one person of this kind in the lobby, I know that it is either my cue to leave, or to strip off my own equipment as not to waste it. 

As for consumables on Gold, I must admit that I rarely use anything there other than level 1 or 2 equipment these days. The best stuff is left for Platinum. But then again, I only stick to Gold at levels 15-19, generally. Holding back on missiles/gel is a weird thing, however. Some people clearly don't know that Jumbo packs exist and are fairly cheap.

Hi guys, the challenge is on any difficulty but it's not specified if is against any enemies. All enemies do count?


Hi!

Yes any enemy counts. Doesn't matter, what you kill. ;)
Here's the challenge, that at least one N7 character should be in your group and  should be  successfull extract, that is longer with 1 min. And hopefully will be to be done the almost 200.000 fully extracted game or 800.000 fully extracted charater. ;)

Not having played ME3 multiplayer for a while (playing ME1 and ME2, ahh good times), how hard is Platinum?

It's difficult to provide an accurate description, but it certainly makes Gold (aside from the last wave, or two) seem rather easy. ;) It's not that enemies are significantly more resilient (I think that brutes are still too squishy, for one), it's the fact that they can hit you quite hard. Never before had I a reason to curse at a single Marauder. The AI doesn't seem to be much (at all?) smarter, either, but their brute force tactics is sometimes enough to wear the team down. And, of course, the fact that you can have enemies from all three factions available on the battlefield at the same time makes for some nasty combinations. 
I've had more painful random matches than I've had successful ones on Platinum (and I do my best to avoid the yawning-inducing Firebase White/Geth combo), but I suppose that's to be expected. Just know that the people who claimed that this difficulty would be impossible with PUGs or without using mics were clearly in the wrong. 

And mmmm, you reminded me that I must revisit ME1 sometime soon. At least it has a satisfying ending.

Played all three new maps on Silver, Vanc and Lond with full extractions. Then I wanted to play a few random maps but got only disconnects. Hope others fare better and they fix it for the weekend or I dont see any Allied Goal. :-(

And kicking people for N7 rank only is low...but when someone with N7 21 and a lvl 6 HuVan wants to play gold I draw the line. Fine, maybe he is a pro-gamer with little freetime, but at some point I dont want to find that out when it counts on gold. Sorry, to everyone I kicked (all two/three of them since release).

The packages are going to distributed in the end of the Operation or when you complete the goal? Because I completed a Full Extraction on an unknown map, with an unknown enemy, and my friend had the Earth DLC Character. I didn't get the bonuses. The "Commendation Pack".

Can I ask what platform you play on?  I've just played a Gold match with a N7120 and he beat the cr@p out of all of us.

Having real difficulty completing a game, so far dropped into Gold round 4 and made it to extraction but dont know if that counts. Was then disconnected before stats screen. Then disconnected from 2 Bronze games and a Silver. Maybe that is the real challenge, to actually complete a game on the servers!


I had connection problems yesterday..... don't think it was my xbox screen said EA issues.  Lost my voice and other features.  Very pissed about that hopefully it is not a replay.

Turian Rebel Joining mission shortly.

The Victory Packs are usually distributed on Tuesday night, and the Commendation Packs by Wednesday night. (maybe a little later on the commendation packs since they seem to have to check if you completed the challenge case by case, whereas everyone gets the Victory Pack if we succeed) If you don't have your pack by next friday contact EA support, they'll hook you up.

May death come swiftly to your enemies.

Q1. Does this have to be full Extraction?
NO.
Q2. Does this have to be on  an earth map?
NO.

Q1. For this I'm assuming your post in the MP section meant at least 1 earth char must be in the squad for all people extracted to count?
YES. One Earth character must be in the squad. More is fine, but at least one.

Q2. Again any map or Earth maps only?
ANY map


:devil:

Thank you for the clarification Chris. I think the new operation countdown timer is AWESOME by the way.Image IPB

Difficulty:              ANY
Character:           At Least 1 New Earth Character (N7)
Enemy:                ANY
Extraction:           Partial   At least 1 Earth Character (N7)

Special Circumstance:   Extended extraction time due to last weeks failure

ALLIED GOAL

MAP:                     ANY
Character            ANY
Difficulty:              ANY
Enemy:                 ANY
Extraction:            Partial or Full. a Total of 800,000 with all extracted characters counting toward the total 

Special Circumstance:   Extended extraction time due to last weeks failure

Just played 5 matches not too long ago. 4 of them were full extractions so that's 19 right there. I'll continue raping bronze tomorrow.

I wish that enemy foot-falls were audible. I should hear a brute coming from halfway across the map. More than one time I've had them sneek up behind be because I couldn't hear them. I chose brute because it's the largest and best example. Most all the enemies are that way.

On the whole, come of the sounds are goofy in ME3 that way. Mostly in Multi though. Hate it. I can play without sound and do just as well. :\\

This would be a good format but as you've demonstrated it is still possible to get it wrong. It is NOT necessary for the Earth character to be extracted to achieve the squad goal. Yes, I'm sure about that.

Yes a compatibility Patch would fix the "Unable to Join"/ "Disconnected" Issues.

So was just playing Firebase Hydra... One of the sub-missions where you have too retrieve the object and run it back, and it glitched into the ground... Anyone else have this problem? Like... The third time tonight it happened.

 I don't know if this has been suggested before so, forgive me if I'm repeating something, but, I'm wondering if it would ever be possible to get a "ticker" that shows how many have been extracted so far? I think it would help to know...thanks!
