Harrier VII & Particle Rifle X

shit. Your harrier is now the same as mine. Damn you.

BTW i tried the Turian Ghost with a Harrier VII, the heavy extra weight armour piercing mod, extra rounds in the clip, Warfighter package, Incindiary IV, Assault Rifle Amp 3.

I tell you, i dominated the match. Finished with 170K points, next best was 60. Atlas is down in 2 clips and everyone just melted. Really got used to the character and its great you dont need the stability mod with him.

Indra X

Almost made that 37 minute Hydra/Geth/Gold match worth it. I was carrying some pretty clueless players. >:I

Anyways, done for now.

[EDIT] - Just noticed I was two, and three behind Mindlog in the US & Global Challenge Points Leaderboards respectively. XD
 
The indra is still pointless as a sniper rifle. i dont see WHY its a UR at all. Id take the Harrier with a scope over it any time.

I saw someone using the Venom Shotgun the other day - it looks fun, damn shame i dont have that, the PPR or the Geth Spitfire

I'm guessing it's the ability to use high velocity barrel, better accuracy and built in scope as well as being the lightest sniper rifle.

Still not great but I suppose requires less specialisation freeing up mods and kits.

I was having a pretty good time with the Indra equipped on the Turian Soldier. It can be used like an Assault Rifle when fired from the hip, and it's light enough that you can use Proximity Mines and Concussive Shot really often. And of course, there's the obvious benefits from Marksman.

And yeah, the Venom's pretty beast.

To me it defeats the purpose of a sniper rifle. Cloak, headshot, decloak - get bonuses as an infiltrator. With the Indra you are just going to be using an assault rifle with a scope. It also does fuck all damage - even with mods on it.

The other day i equipped my Turian Ghost Infiltrator with Harrier VII, Armour Piercing Rounds IV, Assault Rifle Amp 3 then extended clip and extra 25% damage or it was the 50% weight/armour piercing - man it melted atlas armour like butter. The cloak bonuses for the assault rifle on the ghost are just crazy.

The Geth Infiltrator gets more bonuses for sniper rifles, its a shame you cant use the Harrier and get the same bonuses with him

Just discovered Claymore X one shotting ravagers on platinum is a sight to behold or at least was for me at the time. So good once you got your reload cancel rhythm going.

Phat Michael, you aren't missing much with the Geth Spitfire. It's very very underwhelming; it's like a peashooter.

I joined mid-game into a Gold Geth round. Gotta carry the team on my back; wow they were so damn clueless, had very low dps, didn't know how to use the class (Turian Havoc soldier with no stim packs? really?) or revive. During the extraction wave all I said 'I think you guys should consider going back to Silver'; as mean as it may seem, it's true. They had the audacity to try to kick me after the game lol.

use it with the AIU. it's monstrous. I tried my Crusader V with her and it's a good gun, way more accurate but not as good at close range.

Yeah that's kit I've used it with so far. One of the best things about it is that it has such high base damage (I think the highest uncharged shot). That even it's piercing damage when used with cloak is enough to kill most infantry or severely weaken them.

<RNG> I could give Sai the Collector SMG X after having him drop all those hundreds of thousands of credits... But I like being a dick, so I'll let him have a Punisher IV instead.

Venom V & Paladin VII

Why is Geth Spitfire so badass in single player but so underwhelming in multi?
Because Shepard's overpowered, and it's a Heavy Weapon in single player? :p Damage, accuracy, and rate of fire is significantly different. I think there's another kind of Spitfire that may be the same, or at least comparable to the multiplayer variant that you can use during a segment of the Citadel DLC though.

You need to set your profile to public, it's currently on private so it's unavailable.

Some Geth Spitfire videos:
- Sirian testing the GS I
- Another guy comparing the Geth Spitfire X, Typhoon X, Lancer X, Harrier X, and PPR X

EDIT: Look at the deeps of the Spitfire lol.
Keep in mind that the videos are prior to March 12's buff to make up for the low ROF. From what I recall, Geth Spitfire is good against shields right?
 

Sai

Yeah, it has a multiplayer against shields; 1.75 according to the ME Wiki. If the Spitfire's rate of fire was at least comparable to it's heavy variant's in single player, it wouldn't be so bad.

Wish my Punisher was at I... Those three Ultra Rare drops could've went towards my Harrier X. :|

The citadel one was also bad ass compared to the multi - maybe Shep just gets lots of bonuses. it seemed louder and that it had a higher fire rate as well.

Punisher V... -_-

Hopefully that'll be the last upgrade I get for that stupid thing. At least all of my Ultra Rare weapons are at rank V or higher: [N7HQ]

What are your usual buying habits? do you do like 400K at once? mix of arsenal and PSP packs?

I havent gotten a UR in ages man. Been playing with some absolute dickheads too.

I wish I can join you with the N7 Paladin for nonstop cryo explosions :(
Lots of my time is now invested in research with a PhD student.
Oh btw Phat Michael, feel free to send me an invite when you see me on ME3; I'm usually in a middle of a game and I forget about sending you an invite after the game.

Paladin VIII

Was right in the middle of the 6th wave of a Jade/Cerberus/Gold match, and my internet connection fails on me. It was too bad, game was going well; we were blazing through the waves, and I don't think anybody had been downed yet.

Oh, well. 'til morning...

[EDIT] - Good mornin'! Spitfire VII
 
I'm trying a completely new build on the Volus Adept. skipping biotic orbs, and all passive on weapon weight reduction.

assault rifle rail amp 3. assault rifle load out V. harrier 7 with armour piercing rounds.

stasis for phantoms, headshots and shield boosts whenever possible.

used it on silver but I think it's ready for gold now.

the Volus Adept sucks. also, Eagle VI. it's like being punched in the dick.

still no spitfire, still no ppr , still no venom.

Man this comment just made me laugh, when I saw the previous one I was like ok... I always though the volus adept was kinda shitty as a kit but maybe that would work, then your realisation came and I laughed.

I tried so hard with him man. but he has no passive weapon bonuses and I'm always towards the bottom of the leader boards. at least the volus engineer can assist with debuffs.

... This game is playin' me. Thought I'd quit after I get those three weapons maxed. Since then, I've been inching everything closer to X. >_<

My fellow ME3 players! Forgive me for the question but I am in need of assistance!

I've stopped playing this a few months ago because I moved and didn't have my console with me. Last time I played was when they changed Geth Firebase White with a couple more corridors back in...October I think..?

How much HDD space does all the DLC after that take? I'd like to get back into the game but only have 1.4GB of free space

I think you'll be able to meet the requirements. IIRC the downloads are only around 300MB or so.

Anyone still play on PC? I'm thinking about getting the game since it's $10 on Origin right now. I love the MP, don't really play it as much since I finally built my new PC. I really don't want to have to suffer with pugs.

Collector SMG X

... I think I might leave it at that. Would have liked to have gotten my Lancer, Typhoon, and Harrier up to X, but I just don't have the desire to play anymore.

[EDIT] - And I know this is kind of late, but Gui_PT: All of the multiplayer expansions total up to approximately 919MB. So, just count up what you already have, and subtract.

This thread was so close to get an OT2. Bioware just needed to release one or two more MP DLCS.

Oh well... maybe in ME4!

It was a great game. Far better than anything I expected.

For some reason seeing the E# demo of Ubisoft's The Division gave me huge ME3MP flashbacks. Maybe I'll see some of yous in that game.

Yeah, same here. After going to Canada for a week, I came back to play three games and got bored really fast so I decided I won't be playing it anymore. Guess it's time for me to clear my backlog :p

The Division looks really interesting, will get it depending on how things turn out for me. Dat door closing when going across an opened car door.


In other news, I'm not a junior anymore :D!

I decided to play one more for the road, got a Wraith IX from my last Arsenal Pack. XD

The Division does look interesting. Lovin' those slick animations.

It has been so long for me that I forget how much of an achievement this is.

Now don't do something stupid and get yourself banned.

I lurk most of the time so that's nothing to worry about too much :p I think I'm a nice person, insulting people isn't my thing.
 
Speaking of potential ME3 replacements, has anyone played Warframe? I don't have a PC but I'm moderately hyped for the PS4 version. The looting/crafting/f2p aspects remind me of grinding in ME3 and the gameplay looks fast and fun.

Division looks like it could be good, but at the moment I'm much more interested the sci-fi themes of Destiny and Warframe.
