I got the general reward but I didn't get my personal achievement supply pack. Pretty PO'd about that. I promoted all my max characters a few days before and had to work on the two I promoted for the event from scratch.

Last event I got the handgun, IMO it's kind of crap. Most of my characters are equipped with handcannon's exclusively for the higher rate of fire than a sniper rifle, but the pseudo SMG simply isn't that good damage or accuracy wise.

Some people were using exploits to get extra packs. Bioware responded by shutting down all of the pack-giving. I had yet to collect my packs, because I was busy.

And I promoted three classes too...
All I got was equipment out of mine. So here's hoping that when they start giving out the packs again those of us who were shafted will get our just rewards.

Also got a bag with only equipment items in it.

Was seriously gutted. You know what rubbed salt in the wounds even further?

I had 90k+ saved up and saw a new Veteran Spectre pack. Up to now i've been dodging spectre packs and higher due to being extremely unlucky with them (counterbalanced by better luck with veterans, all my rares are from them) but figured a guaranteed 2 rares would cheer me.

+1 Medigel capacity
+1 to one of the SMG I never use.

:\ God I hate random loot. Sticking to veteran packs only.
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'm now the proud owner of an N7 Crusader. I'm kind of shocked at how well it goes with my Krogan Sentinel. Previous set-up was a Claymore I and a Geth Assault Rifle III. Now I'm using the Crusader, with a Paladin I for when the Crusader goes dry, and it's proved reasonably effective thus far. Then again every premium specter pack I've opened since changing my loadout has contained a Geth Assault Rifle. Perhaps chance is hinting at something...

I've seen a few people express disdain for the Crusader. What are the reasons for that?

People just seem to really not like Shotguns for some reason. I use them quite a bit, at least when it's appropriate. The Crusader is a very unique shotgun at that. It's damn near pinpoint accurate, does CRAZY damage, and has the penetration property that the Widow has. What's not to like? I'm not saying every class should use it, but like every other weapon, it has times where it's appropriate.

I unfortunately just got big box of consumable equipment... Quite disappointing all things considered.

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.

Well good and bad news, in my commendation pack I got the N7 Valiant, which was my favourite gun in the single player, and im pleased to say ITS STILL A FU**ING BEAST ONLINE :D ! !!! ! !

Seriously, slap that thing on my infiltrator and I can take down Atlas's in about 10 shots on Gold, It'll also instantly kill most standard enemies with a headshot, (provided they have no shields). All in all its the best sniper rifle in the game, I mean apart from the Black Widow, but the Valiant does have some advantages over that God tier gun even (More spare ammo, faster fire rate, almost no recoil)


Gushing aside, i opened my damn victory pack to find i had received shit all from it :mad:

Silly Jitters, thinking there's justice in the world. I hope you're right though.

I'll at least try to get a hold of a customer service rep if I don't see anything in a few days is all I'm saying

So with the Operation Raptor rewards out today, I figured why not share what we all got? Y'know...a nice chance to rub those new N7 weapons in peoples faces :D

....Actually what I ended up with was kinda shite, I DID get the N7 Valiant which is great because I've been looking for a new sniper rifle for a while...seriously, the Viper can just fuck right off. Aside from that though I just got bog-standard ammo and medi-gel stuff.

How about you guys?
Yeah, I just got equipment in the Victory Pack. But, before they got around to giving me my Commendation Pack, they had to halt all passing out of them, because some bullshit cheaters were using an exploit to get multiples of those packs.

BioWare has said that they will resume handing out the packs when they found a way to stop the little shits. Ruddy cheaters messing up my game.

I home they find out who was doing it and ban them.

If you didn't get anything yet, then you might later. BioWare had to halt the distribution of the packs from the operation because some cheaters were using an exploit to get multiples of the packs. They said that once they fix the problem, they will start handing out packs again.

Speaking of cheaters, I was playing last night and one of the people in the group was a Vanguard with an N7 level of over 1500 and she was packing a Widow, not a Black Widow now, just a standard one.

Anyways, I watched this person fire off around six shots in a row without reloading once and I'm still wondering to myself if that was just lag(even though lag seems to repeat only the muzzle flash and not the actual firing animation) or if she was cheating somehow.

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.

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.

I really don't see the point for these people doing the cheating. It's not like they are going head to head with other players(not that that would be a good excuse to cheat), they are playing a co-op horde mode.

Unless they have a cheat that lets them get more credits or exp at the end of the match, I don't see the point for them to do what they are doing. It's not like they get more than their teammates if they get first in points. I'm certainly not going woooo, and aaaah, over seeing them in the top points spot, especially if I think they've been cheating.

I seriously hope they find the people and ban them.

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.

Though since you mention the Widow thing, I think it is likely they cheated to get that rating faster.

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