There's no health. Instead, there's a bladder meter. You have to find vases along the way to replenish it.

Except for 4/1/2011. That day lingers in my memory like...metaphor here...I should go.

I won't lie, sniping with a toothbrush is pretty impressive.

Can someone explain to me what exactly Kai Leng did with cereal in that book?

Also, isn't it ironic how the Widow - a sniper rifle - is the only weapon that can puncture Guardian shields, but yet that little window at the top is FOR sniping at?

He broke into Anderson's house, planted some bugs, then decided to stick around and eat some of Anderson's cereal.

[up][up][up] Other Sniper Rifles can't break through the shield, so the sniper hole is still useful for people with lighter S Rs.

Okay, guys. I've still got to finish Arrival and get those last three upgrades from LOTSB, but I think it's time I left the thread. It's so close to release and spoilers are bound to get through.

I'll see you on the other side.

It's not over. Not yet.

FINALLY completed gold challenge. It was getting bit frustrating xD One round before that we got to wave 11 aka the extraction point, but then four phantoms kills the whole team.

So, I just started reading Mass Effect Interregnum, and damn, it's probably the best Mass Effect fanfic I've ever read.

While that line of reasoning makes sense, and I'm probably going to ask my friends at EA about it, I'm not sure if it's 100% the case all the time.
More than any other game company I know of Bio Ware has earned at the bare minimum the benefit of the doubt from me. Maxis used to have it, then they went and made Sim City Societies.

Okay I'm late (sleeping) but if anyone's going to argue about the DLC please read this chart first...(made by the same guy go did Deception rage comic...)
That thread made my brain hurt. Great chart but the rest of it... ugh.

I wanna try and get Gold extraction sometime before release, as a Grand Finale for the demo.

Bit silly, maybe, but still.

Oh, and I've been meaning to ask FOREVER. How do N7 Rankings in multplayer work anyway?

Oh, and look, it's that Liara figure.

It's not as horrid as I imagined. Still pretty bad, though.

^They are combinations of levels of all classes. Hence why max is 120: 6 x 20.

I kinda thought so, thanks.

Okay then, how does the Killstreak XP bonus work? I just seem to randomly acquire it after killing a guy.

I also think that the N7 rank also counts as a small (A rank of 120 = 210 points) war asset.

#25219: Feb 29th 2012 at 5:58:23 AM

Basically combined levels of your characters, that's about it...Ninja'd

I think killstreak might involve killing multiple enemies simultaneously, or something?

Killstreaks are usually killing several enemies between your own deaths. In BF 3 you get a killstreak award "Combat Efficiency" for every five opponents you kill between your own deaths.

Yeah, I know Tyrr, which is why it's so random as to when I get the Killstreak bonus.

Odd, shouldn't be. Well unless they're doing it differently. Could be killing X number of enemies in Y seconds. Though that's not usually referred to as a killstreak. Speaking as an FPS goon of course.

So... who died on the Suicide Mission for everyone's "main" playthrough? As in, the one you're primarily importing to ME 3.

I only lost Grunt, as I already said. Metagaming in Mass Effect for the loss.
