The Avenger becomes Awesome Yet Practical if you fit a scope onto it.

I also have a scope on my Phalanx pistol.

[up] Completing objectives gives you some, and completing them fast nets you a bonus. Other than that, I'm slightly unclear how they work out how much you get.

okay, that explains why i never got any. i always died whenever the objectives came up because the whole damn group of enemies would cluster around the data terminal.

Now that I think about it, House Infilgard's symbol should be the exploding head.

If it's House Infligard now, it needs to be an animal.

I suggest a falcon. Good eyesight, crazy speed.

no, it doesn't need to be an animal. House Frey has the twin towers, House something has the flayed man, House forgot-what-they-call-themselves has the burning heart.

But falcons are pretty cool, I guess.

I thought they were all animals. Herp a derp derp.

Anyways now we need someone with artsy talent to draw a falcon on a shield and then put "There is no middle ground" in flowery script on one of those long pieces of paper right under the shield thingy.

[up][up]Bolton and Stannis' version of the Baratheon symobl respectively.

I am really unclear on how the conversation got to this point, but Stannis's personalized Baratheon coat of arms with the burning heart still includes a stag in the middle. Not that you're wrong on the point you're making.

The Cobra Missile Launcher. Think of it as a mini-Cain. It can kill an Atlas Mech and the troopers surrounding it in one hit. Problem is, everyone can only carry two missiles for it each.

Off topic, but I'm playing as Engineer and I must say I loved the way they balanced the weapons. A modded Phalanx with an extended clip and a mini scope is a battle rifle in handgun's clothing, and a level V Scimitar Shotgun with accuracy and damage boosting modifications is a capable mid-rang weapon. And Overload is such an awesome do-everything power.

If you guys wanna play sometime, I'm TylerL320 on Origin. Gotta warn you, though, I'm not that good on PC because I get frame rate problems. I'm amazing on PS 3, though, where there aren't any.

So has it actually been explained why Anderson is an Admiral now instead of Councilor?

Even an off-hand reference like "I retired out of disgust" or (my favourite) "the backlash from my support for [Shepard] and the war against the Reapers forced me to resign"?

I think he just stepped down. Politics wasn't his cup of tea.

They'll have to have some sort of explanation. The number of people who legitimately chose Udina (instead of doing it for dickasaurus points) I could probably count on my hands.

@Medicus

I'm pretty sure it was mentioned he stepped down in one of the novels. Or something.

@Medicus, it's explained in the ME 3 Codex, parts of which are on Youtube if you care not about spoilers. EDIT:Deleted

They should have done what Gaider did in Asunder i.e. writing with the assumption that Wynne and Shale are both alive while promising that this only applies to the novels and not to future installments of the franchise.

Anderson stepped down in Retribution. He was sick of the political bull.
