With the Quarian Infiltrator, I think firing a power while cloaked is really useful thanks to sabotage.
Anybody looking to play on Silver/Gold on 360 and actually work together? The randoms I keep getting out with grouped with are absolute garbage when it comes to sticking together. GT: PetriesLastWord
Whatever, they made a solid, engaging product and for a few bucks you got to increase your enjoyment of said product. Seems like a win/win to me.

Yeah I'm liking it a lot. Cloak->Sabo->Snipe and wait to repeat is really safe/powerful. I kind of wish I got some of the other sniper perks along the way though.. I basically picked melee for some of the choices D:
Oh well. I can always promote to my SP and relevel
I need to unlock a damn widow/black widow though
Or just get a respec token out of a pack!

Hardcore mode is actually rather tough! I am finding some of the fights quite unfair though :/
Not sure if this is good or not but I couldn't resist getting another spectre pack since I had 80k from a completed gold.
Got my sniper rifle barrel 2 now. Should help out a bit. Still want a sniper rifle though :/
Hah. I can't even get a regular widow sniper out of a pack D:
edit:
opened a veteran pack
aww yee poor man's widow lol

I guess so.
I do not have an Origin-Account, but here is the users Forum-Profile:

Someone can check if at least the post is legit or not.
Still a total dick-move, if its true.
(And i still dont think the guy is at fault. He maybe joined some server where the host used some modified files. After that he got a lot of points and spend them.
In my opinion it is not the guys fault, but Biowares fault, that such things can even happen....)

so i'm just loading up my game today on ps3 and i go to redeem my online code and i put in the code, it goes to the psn store screen to download the DLC stuff and i click to download but i gives an error.
then i try clicking a few more times, keeps giving the error, so i back out, try to put in the code again, and i get an error (it's not allowing me to enter the psn store screen at this point). then i back out again because that isn't working and it says error right away then i can't even access the area to redeem my code.
now every time i press triangle at the initial screen to redeem my code it says error and i can't redeem it.
just wondering if anyone has had a similar problem? because i'm kinda pissed.

If you get hit by the bug where you lose all your unlocks, your money will not be refunded though
Out of curiosity, would anyone bring a soldier on gold challenges?
They seem to have so little utility compared to other classes, and their survivability is kind of terrible compared to Vanguards with their biotic charge into a full shield charge. It seems like the soldier's focus on buffing shields is useless when shields are ripped apart so quickly in MP. I assume their damage is no where close to an Infiltrator or a other class too, even with Adrenaline Rush on. The 50% weapon damage boost seems paltry next to the Infiltrator's damage and damage bonus boosts. Spamming concussive shot is nifty I guess, but doesn't seem as useful as stasis or Cryo blast since it doesn't confer a damage buff or armor debuff.

Well then don't do the action that causes that bug!
Concussive shot and proximity mines are cool. Frags are pretty powerful too but on gold you only reequip 1 every minute or whatever from those boxes so they aren't that useful outside of the beginning. Soldier in general seem like the worst class by far. They need a serious buff to make them even compete with the others. I've been playing around a bit and it's fun to spam proximity mines/concussive shot on silver and bronze but in gold the moore specialized classes seem more viable for sure.
I did get a M-37 Falcon and it is heavy as shit but I could see how it or another AR could do a ton of damage with adrenaline rush. I was spamming the grenades so fast. I wish respec cards were easier to obtain :/
This is pretty neat:
One thing about AR vs the cloak bonuses is Infiltrators can get something like 90-150% bonuses for a sniper headshot but it's only one shot. With AR you get 50% bonus the entire time. With the right weapon it could do a lot of damage.

I think for soldier it comes down to needing level 10 weapons and big powerful ones, grenades on gold are not going to do much damage but are still handy for crowds.
I have fallen in love with the quarian engineer, using a rifle with scope and recoil mods, full ice and fire tech and full turret tech, great support character who can hold her own weight in a fight too.

I got a couple as a Sentinel. *shrug*
I had an amazing match yesterday on the map with the satellite dishes. It was just three of us, playing on gold against the geth (one engineer, and two soldiers) and things went downhill fast. I was a solider using the Window to try and pick off as many geth as possible because my rifle is too underpowered to do any real damage on gold and by the second round, the three of us were getting swarmed. There was no place to run, hunters and pyros were rushing us and rocket troopers had us covered. Eventually, my two teammates went down with the majority of enemies left over and I just started to book it across the map. I would get to a quieter place, pop up a few shots and then sprint again. This started in the second round and for sound insane reason, continued until we beat the mission. It took about an hour, but it was so intense, satisfying, and just plain fun, that the time flew by. Amazing gameplay without a doubt.

Here is a rarity breakdown. I've been getting a lot of shotguns too which is disappointing. At least I finally got a decent handgun with low weight (phalanx). Still waiting on a good sniper rifle though :/
I keep buying Veteran and Spectre packs and keep getting mediocre stuff. It's making it harder for me to keep playing when I don't get rewarded.
I saw a Krogan Soldier with the Falcon AR (which is a beast) and a Graal Spike Thrower. He killed everything and everyone.
My only rare unlock is the Arc Pistol which is not anything special unless I am missing some qualities about it ..

Does anybody have an N7 hoodie code that they are wishing to part with? If so, could you PM it to me? I would love to have it!

Anyone up for playing right now, preferably on Silver?
Add BlastoTheHanar and we can play.

Is Vanguard a shitty class for this, or am I missing something? Charge, get murdered, revive. If you are lucky you get a few charges in before the get murdered part.
Vanguard is great. Just need to know when it's safe to charge and shoot vs charging and Nova right after.
What makes the class more risky is that enemies don't all populate the map at once during a wave. Sometimes you could be very cautious and take out an enemy group only to have an Engineer with a turret magically show up behind you and you are 8 miles from your teammates.

Nova is the melee? That is pretty cool.
Maybe I'm just used to the limited exposure of an infiltrator sniper, and this is the opposite. I do fine on bronze, but death will come much more quickly on silver, even with being leveled up.

Pretty much this. With a group of guys yesterday, I'm using energy drain like crazy, and two other guys are using sabataj (as william shatner says it) But in regards to cerberus, I think we have 3 infiltrators using incinerate, cryo, and turrets/drone for distraction with overload you're set. So, a team of 2 infiltrators and 2 adepts would probably reck havok on them.
I guess ultimately the success for gold comes down to extremely specialized teams that just abuse enemy weaknesses. And if everyone is rolling 3 or more missles you have a tank of 12 one hit kill opps, making those sticky situations a lot easier.
Honestly, gold isn't tough. It's not so much skill as it is just using the proper kind of gimmicks.

Play with one, and they have their friends. You got your friend. Personally add them to your friend list, you're golden for the MP duration of this game. The online experience for me as been great because I've been associating with GAF and only GAF.
I fucking love Drell Adept. Got it to 20 yesterday.. pretty much my first character. I've moved onto Quarian Infiltrator but I really want a Turian Soldier.

Is this normal? I reached 100% galactic readiness rating 17 hours ago, and now I'm already down to 97%. Not cool.

A lot of people have been saying stick with Veteran, but I've been getting some boss ass weapons from Spectre. One run on gold will usually give me about 80,000 credits.
I was tempted to buy a spectre pack with real money. Then I got a spectre pack with Geth Plamsa Shotgun II and Disciple II.
No thank you.
The last pub group I played with really tore through Silver with ease.

Right, so the only class I have played as has been 'Soldier'. Haven't touched the other classes because I'm not quite sure how good the biotic powers are. Any recommendations? Ideally, I'd like a class better than what I have now, where my main power really is 'Carnage'. Adrenaline Rush seems pretty useless.
Also, if you get the same weapon in a pack, does the weapon upgrade? I sometimes see 'weapon upgrade +1' and the iteration of the weapon I already had goes up one. Does this increase the statistics (damage etc)?

To answer your second question, yes! More damage, and more ammo capacity (slightly). Experiment around with the classes! I have trouble playing sentinels often.
I had a similar issue as well.
Check the error code that the PS3 spits out. I got the error code of 80710102 which turns out is a DNS error which was fixed by using 208.67.222.222 or/and 208.67.220.220 as the DNS address.
