I haven't booted up this game since before Earth came out. I apparently have some catching up and learning to do.

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet but playing MQI is the best poo poo ever

Cloak -> Shoot -> quickly Scan -> quickly reload means that basically there is never any cooldown on the cloak. Scanning overrides the cooldown for cloak, and cloaking reload-cancels. I can get shots off with the Mantis about a second apart, all cloaked. It's glorious.

I unlocked a Krogan Sentinel in my first PSP tonight.

I've fallen in love with this game all over again. I have tasted of the fruit of a Krogan Quad Squad, and it is delicious.

That explains it, then. All I wanted to do was max out Shotgun Blade Attachment and I couldn't even do that because human Adepts and poo poo kept getting in the way. :mad:

Progress and unlocks don't carry across platforms, do they? I've got a buddy on PC who wants to play with me but I own it on 360. I'd consider buying it on PC if it meant I could keep my progress.

gently caress, I'm poo poo at engineers. Geth engineer spamming flamer turret + Overload it is, I guess.
Human eng, spam the poo poo out of incinerate and chain overload. It's still pretty effective and hard to go wrong. Just stay in cover.

The one thing they need to add to ME4 multiplayer is a high five button.

Holy gently caress. This is the greatest thing.

I've got some fairly basic coloring rules;

Salarians are green, Krogan are pink, Geth look like sports cars.
And yeah, I do that thing with the Asari Adept :shepface:

And the N7 Paladin is Mr. Freeze.
I like all of this, and have done basically the same thing since launch with the sole exception of "lol blacked out + armor stripe IT'S TOTALLY SHEPARD" human engineers. It's hard to break that habit.

What's "that thing?"

It's more a matter of way too much in common not to be coincidence, I think. Bioware loves their inter-connectivity too much.
The teenage girl from a farm on Tiptree that the Asari kills is named Hilary, with one L.
Joker's sister Hilary, with one L, is [16? 14?] years old, and lives on their dad's farm on Tiptree.

I just don't remember them mentioning his sister at all. My memory's going.

Not surprised since the guy who leaked it (on the Bioware forums) is the same guy who was posting about Collectors and Volus before anyone else, he's probably some low-level dev's alt or something.

My brother in law started playing MP Friday, and in 2 Reserves packs opened 2 Volus Engineers and a Volus Adept. One pack had both. According to the Manifest, these are ultra-rare (In fact, the only UR characters.)

He has the best, worst luck.
I still don't buy that these bastards are truly "ultra-rare." I have both of them maxed and I never want to see them again.

What the poo poo, I just had the most awesome glitch ever

loaded up my Vorcha Sentinel with a bunch of equipment to go gently caress Banshees in their collective asses on Gold, got Reactor Hazard, and single-player combat music played for the entire match :psyduck:

it was the most epic game ever and I wish it would happen more often

Do you lose access to Weekend Challenge titles if you change them? This is only the second one I've done in the new format, and I noticed last week's disappeared from the Challenge menu (Though there was no title last week I guess.)
Not all weekend challenges have titles, and no you won't lose access to it. My Corsair title and (unfinished) Halloween titles are still there. :negative:

awesome, Turret can down a Jug spec'd for defense with a Stronghold V in one burst. :psyduck:

Also, apparently you have to be standing on the same level as whatever you're heavy meleeing, just like boss sync kills.
I've seen the first part in action- turret opened up on me and I instantly when down from full shields and health with Stronghold IV. This was on Gold. Maybe there's some sort of damage bug? Lag? An Atlas or something I didn't see?

As for the second, it can be wonky but I've heavy melee'd enemies crouching behind ledges I'm standing over etc. I've had frequently issues with heavy melee just not initiating, though, even on level ground.

Would speccing a Juggernaut for full Turret (with flamethrower) be a wise choice for Platinum play? I feel like the extra tech bursts and distraction from the Turret could be useful but I'm nowhere near a Plat-tier player yet sooo

That's pretty much the only area in the game where HURRRR ARRGGHHHH will not carry you. I've always thought an Infiltrator with a good rifle would clean it up really fast, but I've not tested it. Anyone?
Confirm. I did a pure damage Infiltrator for my Insanity run and had no issues for about 98% of the game with a Black Widow 3/4. I think the Kai Leng fight is the only thing that stands out as giving me trouble.
