The name of the DLC will be RETALIATION. The prophet OneTrueShot was kind enough to provide us with a riddle that enabled us to figure this out (he has not confirmed that we got it right, nor can we be sure that he speaks the truth, but we have faith in him, it's nice for a forum to have its own prophet).

We are likely to get some clues from Bioware in this week's event announcement.

And small SPOILER it may feature a new game mode or a new objective at least, vaguely hinted at in the Leviathan DLC. Read the description of the last war asset you acquire. BjornDaDwarf pointed out this possibility. The name Retaliation strengthens the theory. Yeah, I know, a name we're not even sure of strengthens the theory... Sounds good though!

The magic all happened in this thread: social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/343/index/13972907/1

See also BjornDaDwarf's excellent post, linking to earlier speculation threads and prophecies made by OneTrueShot: social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/343/index/13975069#13975291

Discuss, build up some expectations. All in good fun. Don't kill me if it turns out to be wrong.

Haha, love this post. Join the fun man. Worst case scenario I look like a fool come Wednesday or when the DLC arrives with a completely different name.

You know I want this to be true now.
Just out of the sheer insanity of it all.
We have a prophet on an internet forum predicting Multiplayer DLC. HOW WHACKED IS THAT?! I did read teh riddle and the first thing that came to mind was a Quarian orgy. Didn't guess though...

Once again I've read the description of the last war asset you acquire in the Leviathan DLC, and it makes more and more sense. Mohahaha, this will be great. The naysayers, non-believers and infidels will eat their words and should eat some hats too.

First, apologies to Asbestos, who was trying to compile all this stuff the first time around, and we totally hijacked that thread into solving the OTS riddle.

Second, and I said this in the riddle thread, there are two possiblities.  OTS actually knows something and has been dropping clues in some of his posts.  Or he's just having some forum fun in a creative way, and using vague enough information that fits well enough that it's believable, even if it's all conjecture on his part.

For now I'm going with he knows something.  Why, because it's fun to believe and it's been pretty entertaining participating in a couple of the prophecy threads. 

I just wasted the last 30 minutes (the ones I should have spent all warm and toasty in my bed), rereading some of the OTS prophecies that have popped up.  What I have seen is:

Collectors as enemy
 - Comments in this thread by him also use the word Retaliate, point to new Turians, and suggest that guns will be able to be fired in different ways (2 comments) - "I foresee a great future for your weapons, may they soon fire many different ways."  "May the elements of death guide you, child! Weapons are fueled in many ways but only one path allows you difference."
 - But he also insisted that he did not work at Bioware, nor did he have friends at Bioware

A fix for Geth Farming
 - Hints that White will no longer be suitable for Geth farming, and specifically that a Geth grenade class could be part of the answer. 

Firefight Pack Predition
 - The only confirmed prediction I know of.  Seemed to know the names of two of the guns from the Firefight pack before it was announced.

New Sentinel Prediction
 - A prediction for a Sentinel with Dominate, Sabotage and Defense Matrix named the Eclipse.  Hints at a Mercenaries themed character.

Retaliation DLC name Prediction
  - Asbestos started a thread about the OTS predictions, and OTS dropped a riddle into the middle of it.  The solution to the riddle was Retaliation, a word that will bring joy and is "a name to something everyone wants."

That's the spirit.  Tonight has been as much fun as I've had on these forums for weeks.

Thanks to the Apex race "breaking lore" we'll be getting playable reaperized soldiers. I'm ready to be muraduer shields.

Oh, and by the way, apologies to Asbestos who was trying to compile all this stuff the first time around, and we totally hijacked that thread into solving the OTS riddle.  


I'm thinking that his comments regarding guns getting a new firing mode or whatnot, has to do with the (potential) new game mode or objective (starting to think that it is in fact an entirely new game mode though).

And yeah, now I feel kinda bad for making a new thread and all, I just wanted more speculations and expectations, doesn't matter to me who started what, but at least I've linked to Asbestos' thread in the OP.

I actually think a new thread was warranted, just wanted to give him shout out myself.  I wouldn't have ended up going back through all those old posts without his thread.  But we were already 4 pages deep on some both on- and off-topic stuff there, easy to miss what was actually happening there if you only scanned the first page or two.

Impeccable timing for all this, with the numerous oodbye threads that have been popping up these last days and all! I love this game and really hope this will breathe new life into it. That is assuming it is true and all we are hoping for, at this point I have pretty much convinced myself that it is, haha.

I'm hoping it's true too.  It will make having pieced some of this together even more fun!  Plus there has been a leak or hint for every single DLC so far, either from leaked descriptions or from dataminers finding hints in previous DLC (which is how Leviathan was found).  I personally think that some, or all, of those leaks have been intentional.

I also still enjoy the heck out of MP and want it to continue.  Every time I've started to tire of it a little bit, something has managed to suck me back in.  Recently it's been starting to play with some forum members, and some pretty cool ones at that.  Not sure why it's taken me this long to start playing with people from around here.

Alright, I'm done for the night, have to get some sleep.  I swear that two hours ago I was just going to check the forums real quick before I shut my PC down.

OTS isn't the leak BSN needs, but the leak BSN deserves!
