Odd. I definitely went All krogan (one Kroguard, one sentinel, and me as a soldier) on firebase ghost, bronze, cerberus, privated so nobody else joined, and got full extraction. Dumb thing says my account didn't get awarded a commendation pack. I'm at a crappy Motel 6 in Oregon and I can't connect to the ea servers for some reason, so I can't check if I actually got one or not, which is driving me crazy. On top of that my phone randomly broke today, and I'm feeling really nauseous right now.... life sucks sometimes.

Any other PCers having this? Anybody get a pack but their little thing said they didn't? Just curious because I can't check atm...

exact same thing. .well.. minus the crap Motel 6. but I AM in Oregon. (near Portland).  got the same stomach thing too.

So Health alert... everyone stay away from Oregon!

A lot of the people playing bronze regularly (including myself) are either new to the game or too scared to risk the higher difficulties and this is why they use CMs more than those playing silver.

I play bronze out of respect for the other folks on the match. I promote as soon as I get my characters to level 20, so I have a wide array of character levels - Basically I follow the rule of 1-10 = bronze, 11-15 = silver and 16-20 = gold...just think it isn't fair in PUGs to ruin it for the others if I am unequipped to make a fair contribution.

Then you will have noticed that what I said was entirely fair and true.

A lot of the people on bronze are either new or unwilling to risk failure by playing silver. There's nothing wrong with this, it's how it should be, but they are more likely to use missle launchers against a single Atlas than the stronger players with good equipment and experience of playing games with larger numbers of Atlases.

The original point I was answering was that CMs were apparently being deployed more often in bronze games than in silver or higher. The cowards are a minority (but exist) and the new players are rarer than any of us would like (I've been play for less than a month and I'm almost always the lowest N7 number in any random game I join) but you still find more of both in Bronze than in silver.

When I have the upgrades to play silver at level 11 I will probably switch to a similar pattern of play to the one you describe. Although I was once dropped into wave 11 of a gold match with a 1st level infiltrator (first time using the class) and was the sole survivor (thank bioware for medigel).

Well, I'm with you except for the cowardice piece...I prefer to think discretion is the better part of valor.

Agree with your logic, but think that even with sub-optimal weapons CM-ing should be a last resort if player growth is the aim....but we all get in spots from time-to-time too...and everyone is free to "smoke 'em if ya got 'em"

not sure how but the battlefield character was unlocked...anyone else get it?

Yeah, there's an announcement on the MP thread for it. I pulled the card last night too, haven't played it yet. Good news is that it only shows one card in the MP manifest, so no more PSPs dedicated to maxing that character out...

Which means the collector rifle is next....

Yeah, sorry...I sounded like a petulant little brat there....I would say get your commons/uncommons completely done and then they should start falling, especially if you are getting PSPs....if you don't get them, not so bad because you start leveling your rares up...I just recall everyone upset about not getting the Earth cards and I just kept my mouth shut because I had them all completely maxxed within 20-25 PSPs.....should practice that mouth shut thing a little more....

it's simple, we just bought 'bout 200 PSPs, so every gold char and weapon is opened, so when new ones are availiable we have nothing else to open ^^
..well, mb more then 200.. doesn't matter, too many URs are still locked ><

No but they DO have a metric ton more people playing on dedicated servers with great netcoding, far more weapons, actual competition and team-cohesion requirements, and much bigger maps.

And a METRIC ton of hacks.   One reason I quit the game.

Hacks aren't actually the problem as much as it is EA's server system.  If you can get a DiCE-owned server it'll be fine because those run Punkbusters and they instantly ban anyone with modified games or who attempt to hack.  On the console versions, you simply cannot get into a game with hacks period, they ban you so fast it makes your head spin right off your shoulders.  EA servers however are lagalicious because of poor maintenance and resource distribution and half of them are running unpatched punkbuster programs.  but even then, it's better than Call of Duty... XD  Or this damn game. 

Also, Bioware, can we console gamers PLEASE, PLEASE, FOR ALL THAT IS GOOD IN THIS WORLD, please get the option to turn down or turn off aim assist?  I'm not a scrub, I don't need the game forcing my aim movement down to 1-degree-per-second when the enemy is side-stepping.

[shedevil3001]

yeah, i have all my common/uncommons maxed and unlocked, its the rares and ultra rares i'm struggling to get, it just keeps giving me stuff thats maxed out, like human male engineer and rubbish like that, very frustrating, i wish there was a pack specifically just for character cards/weapon cards etc

Was thinking about replacing the mic my kiddies broke on me. Would it be worth it? The one I had was given to me by my bro in law along with the playstation move thinggie so we could 'video chat' (wtf?, he lives 10 mins away from me) Also, when I play multiplayer, I really don't talk much, though I do go around the map singing "I'm gonna shoot you in the face" mixed in with some "aw crap, I'm dead" So, is it worth it to get a new mic or would it be just a waste of money?

You too? I didn't even know I could get it in a regular pack but it seems it's possible. It lists him as a rare character instead of a promotional one now.

Well, when you start playing gold you will definitely need a mic. Unless you come across some teamates that are insanely skilled or are using characters with an insane amount of DPS you will need to broadcast the more dangerous enemy types you come across so everyone else knows where to focus their fire or not walk straight into a turret/ravager.

I recall you said you played mostly bronze or silver. For those you don't really need to talk (unless you come across some really bad teammates). I would recommend not getting a new one right away.

battelfield 3 having strong netcode is subjective. I frequently get disconencted from BF3 servers.

Also after the introduction of Premium and the new DLCs, its hard to find a server where you can play (unless you have Premium). If I find a server whcih matches my DLCs, in 50% caes, there wont be more than 5 players .  So I left BF3 a while ago. I belieave I havent played it for 2 months. 

But I do like the game (not as much as BF2). Will get the Armored Kill DLC soon and try my luck again

Calm down. It wasn't an attack on you. I was merely pointing out that a lot of the people playing bronze regularly (including myself) are either new to the game or too scared to risk the higher difficulties and this is why they use CMs more than those playing silver.

Good on you Bob790 and Datdude1970. There are plenty of guys on PC joining Gold Matches for the credits when clearly they should be playing bronze first. (sigh)

[DarkFaerie316]

I hate it when I do a quick match, set it to bronze because my character is at a low level and my weapons etc are not at a level for the higher matches and I get plopped right into a gold or platinum match. It wastes my stuff and it wrecks the match for the others playing it. I always feel guilty when I'm dropped into those matches cos as soon as I'm in there, I get killed and the others are running to bring me back. :-(

Yeah, but I'll still take the credits and XP  

[DarkFaerie316]

Yeah lol, they do come in handy but you know me, I try to do my share in a match lol. In gold, the only thing I do is my share of dying ha ha ha

[Shades2585]

I'm bummed. I just reread and noticed that it said the team had to be all the SAME non-human race. I think the team I was with was all non-human but not the same race. Thanks for all who helped me survive but I"m bummed that I won't get the commendation pack

[kubicz]

Also didn't get my commendation pack yet. Completed a full Quarian (3 male Q + 1 female Q) run with full extraction and didn't get pack. :/
