ME3: Operation Raptor....what did you get?

[Sonic Doctor]

I never got a commendation pack. I blame all of you for getting my hopes up. All I got was a Victory Pack full of rubbish. Which I guess was a Victory for EA, as they got to troll me.

If you did promote at least two characters, your Commendation pack could still be coming. BioWare had to stop handing them out for now because some cheaters were using an exploit to get multiples of the Commendation packs.

No, I have the regular Widow, and I know it takes too long to shoot and reload shots for lag to be so bad that you could see six quick shots.

This is true. Once you've shot and reloaded the Widow twice the game is usually over.

Lol, it's not that slow. I've shot all 14 rounds that it had in one round once.

Hmm. Well, we'll see. I don't want to get my hopes up.

On the 1500 N7 level, that might be possible at this point with out cheating, considering that I've played almost 2 hours of multiplayer every day since the game was released and my N7 rating is at 263. If 1500 would definitely be possible of those multiplayer junkies that have no life and do nothing but it for 8 or more hours a day.

Have you looked at the leaderboards? I checked it out a couple of days ago and the number 1 player has an N7 level of over 4000!*Insert Vegeta here*

Assuming s/he isn't cheating somehow, that's either an insane commitment to multiplayer or an insane lack of a social life.

Well, I did see one example from the Goliath operation, where somebody was left out when they were handing out the Commendation packs, and that person said that when they complained adamantly to the EA support, they were not only given their Commendation pack, but they were given the choice of which N7 gun they wanted the pack to give them.

Like several people on this thread I have yet to receive my Commendation pack.Hope Bioware sort out the exploit soon and can hand them out to the people that have yet to get them

Man...people are demanding all kinds of things from EA these days, and getting away with it, too. This is great. I'm going to demand they build a time machine so they can go back and stop Ultima IX from being released.

All I have to say is that it could be me, if I didn't get tired of playing it each day after the two hour mark.

This, considering that I've been looking for a job with no success, so I have a lot of free time on my hands and the only time I get to talk with my friends out in the real world is through XBL while playing said multiplayer, then if I didn't get tired I could very well be that high in rank. But, I like to take breaks and do other things with my life.

Well, the people that I saw that got the packs because they complained, it was found out that they actually indeed deserved getting a pack, but somebody messed up and passed them over. So, I guess they allowed them to get the N7 gun of their choice form the pack, as compensation for the problem/delay.

From what I understand, they'll be continuing distribution of the packs once they fix the exploit people were using to gain multiple packs. I'm hoping that people like us who were given packs of consumables will be given the actual rewards once the issue is fixed.

I got the big bag of equipment which was really underwhelming. In the other bag I got the N7 Hurricane. A heavy smg with more kickback than a Revenant. I am quickly losing any excitement whatsoever for the rewards from these events.

I got the hurricane too.
Hurricane + Turian soldier + marksman = lol out of ammo and something's dead
Turian soldier has bonus's to weapon stability I'm sure, marksman increases that I think. Makes the hurricane controllable and you spit ammo so fast it becomes quite the little murder machine.

Tried it with the Turian, it was useable but not a lot of fun and if only one race in one class can use the thing effectively then is it even worth it? Glad you like it though. At least someone is getting some joy out of it. Would much rather have gotten a Valiant or a N7 assault rifle.

Yeah, that's the problem with almost all the fully automatic weapons...the only person who can use them effectively is the Turian Soldier, but then you run into a serious problem: they all fucking suck. Unload an entire clip of the Geth Pulse Rifle combined with Marksmen and the target basic unit is down to 2/3rds health. Do the same thing with the Revenant and they might get down to half health.

Basically any automatic weapon is an absolute joke. They're not murder machines, they're assist machines. I don't mind playing a supportive role, hell that's what my Turian Sentinel and Quarian Engineer are specifically built for. But when an infiltrator squadmate with a standard widow can take out the enemy you're currently unloading on in 1 or 2 shots before you're even done with your clip, you kinda start to feel like "Ok...so what the hell am I even doing here?" At least my Sentinel keeps people stun-locked with Overload and my Quarian keeps people freeze-locked with Cryo Blast and Cryo Turret...the Solider is just there to....ummmm....take all the ammo from the boxes so the rest of the squad can't have it?

Edit: To be fair, I have tried out the Turian Soldier with the Geth Shotgun. Marksmenship actually effectively lets you "snipe" with it which can be pretty sweet...still it's not as effective as it is at close range.

I haven't gotten any of my packs yet, am disappointed. Also was having the bug where you bought the super spectre pack and it didn't show you what you'd bought, making you quit the game and restart and have to sort through your items to see what you've got.

For the person who asked about the Paladin, it's got 4 rounds and 16 shot capacity (I have an ammo upgrade for the 40%, so I get a whopping 5 rounds and 16 shots. Yay.) I spam that and overload on my engineer, but hate having to run back to ammo every couple minutes. I usually play an infiltrator in single player, so I enjoy the headshot count I get with the Paladin on my Engineer.

I do have a Black Widow too, but since I've started playing Eningeer with the Paladin, I find my infiltrators clunky.

Of course, my Geth Pulse Rife is also like rank IV so I get crap, too. I keep hoping for the Salarian or Quarian Engineer, but no luck. Maybe with my rewards.

 

[Elamdri]

Are you seriously complaining about +1 Medigel capacity?

I SERIOUSLY am, take it back! It's worst then useless for me.
I'd gladly trade with you if I had the option.

If anything I'd much rather +1 rocket for those times when you're last man standing with 4 banshees on gold then I would having another bloody revive.

I already got my Rockets maxed, I've been DYING (hahahaha) for a +1 Medigel Upgrade.

 

[DarkhoIlow]

I got the N7 Valiant,but I find it less effective than the Widow(which I have rank 4 at).

I haven't played Multiplayer in a while,ever since I finished my second playthrough so.
