i NOTICED THE CURRENCY INCREASE AS WELL, BUT i THOUGHT i WAS JUST PLAYING REALLY WELL BUT IN ACTUAL FACT THE HOST BUMPED THE DIFFICULTY UP TO sILVER WITHOUT ANYONE NOTICING AND i DIDN'T DO ANY WORSE :smile:

The time limits in certain objectives yield more credits if you do well, but the difference is minimal on Bronze.

Recommend at least playing Silver, it's not that hard. :shrug: Silver is also easy enough that even if you svck in it, the three others can still make it easily and even one good player can single handedly beat it if the three others draw enemy fire while the pro hacks the terminals.

It's not that I svck, I just hate being shot and nearly dying instantly but the enemy is a sponge. Plus with my balls connection I'd be spending 20minutes in spectator mode because of lag spikes and randomly needing revived.
I've moved to using an AR (the Avenger) and a shotgun(Eviscerator) just now so I need to be close for good effect, but being close also causes me huge damage.
I've been executed by a Banshee, it was confusing and horrifying - I hate those screams when playing at night with the volume lower than normal, it's eerily creepy...

I must have had really bad luck getting random groups, then, when I tried Silver. "Last person standing in Wave 3, everyone else having already used all their Medigels" wasn't an isolated experience. Admittedly, this was awhile ago, so people may be better on average (and better equipped) now. In which case I might be the weak link.... and I hate dragging a group down. That's one of the reasons I tend not to do group things in games like WoW - I've no desire to ruin other peoples' day by svcking. :tongue:

Recommend saving credits to buy Spectre packs. If you ever get your hands on a Geth Plasma Shotgun (I get it upgraded pretty much once every 10 packs) you will be the king of the battlefield if you know how to use it right.

re: Plasma Shotgun

I guess I have to try that thing out again. I just couldn't get a feel for it the couple times I have. (I've also never really been able to effectively use any of the other shotguns, in any version of ME. Not that the GPS seems to have much in common with them. :tongue:) My most common weapons overall are the Predator, Mattock, and Widow. SMGs is another class of weapon that's just never worked for me.

I have found something that puts the fun back into MP: Geth melee build.
Its high risk/reward style and paper health make it very fun to play.

So I have little of 1000 screenshots from the Mass Effect series. Not one includes the god-child moment or ending scenes. They stop with Anderson and Shepard.

By the way I feel I have to say this. If you do not romance anyone in the Mass Effect series you get extra dialogue with Anderson. It is not cut-out content! Most people romance so they don't see this.

(It's not cut out dialogue) Here is a video of the two talking to hear more of Anderson since most people always Romance they never get to see such a moment. I do wish this was added in for players who romanced anyways.

No, it is cut. I didn't romance anyone and I didn't get it.
