Multiplayer Strategy and Build section!

No new maps either!

Talon Mercenary looks awesome though.

New characters, weapons, equipment and what else are we expecting...?

New Hazard variants for Jade/Hydra/Rio/Vancouver and London?

New enemies...?

New objective modes?

What's everyone hoping for?

Would def like new enemy faction, unlikely as it may be. Terminus mercs would be cool as there's lots of potential for different kinds of enemies, plus we'd see how we'd do against Krogan, Batarians, the odd renegade Asari...

Alliance Infiltrator (EDI) gets a shotgun cloak bonus!

Cabal Vanguard has no Biotic charge!

EDIT: Okay, some kind of variant of it.

No new enemies.

All new character kits will be unlocked/available day 1.

Lancer is more powerful Avenger with recharge mechanic like Collector weapons. Also, lightest AR.

There is an ultra rare character that they are being very secretive about!

"Your body is not ready to hear that."

did anyone see the collector dude right at the end?

They spoiled the Collector/Prothean (green glow) kit!!!!!

They scrolled over him real quick!!!!!!!!

Awakened Collector Adept confirmed.

Let's hope they don't fuck this up, because this could be amazing.

Seeker Swarm power sounds fun enough.

Okay, so to reiterate:

- No new Salarian kits
- No new maps
- No new enemies
- Talon Mercenary uses trip mines and omni bow, really awesome!
- Alliance Infiltrator Unit (EDI) gets shotgun bonus on tactical cloak
- Turian Cabal Vanguard is extremely mobile, can teleport through walls even better than Fury and Slayer, but no Biotic charge. A variant of it, but it does not refill barriers
- New character kits will all be available/unlocked day 1.
- Lancer is more powerful Avenger with recharge mechanic like Collector weapons. Also, lightest AR.
- Awakened Collector (green glow) Adept confirmed!

Also, four guns are ultra-rare (and one character, likely that collector dude), which means that for like third of the stuff you have to get lucky with the troll-store.

There's also a new heavy pistol, Brojo was using it seemed like it had a silencer built in.

Finally unlocked the typhoon! Stick a scope on that thing, pop in an extended clip for good measure, hand it to an N7 Destroyer, and it will deliver an insane amount of damage to whatever you point it at.

Got the Talon Merc in the gift pack, then picked up 8 PSPs. Only one Ultra Rare though, and that was a Paladin upgrade.

Looking forward to trying the Juggernaut and Warlord out tonight. Who's up for battering their way through some Gold matches with the new kits?

edit: Unlocked a pistol biotic amplifier mod. My Asari Adept is going to appreciate that!

So...good. Had no idea those were being added.

EDIT: Aha!

OK. Played a Silver/Reaper match with the Geth Juggernaut earlier...

...that thing is just insane. Even without cover, regenerating shields and melee regeneration makes a mockery of everything. Was untouchable on Silver, even when being griefed by two Brutes and a Banshee at the same time.

2000+ health, 4000+ shields and 40% damage resistance, can't be stunned, can't be sync killed...

A lobby of four of them should be fun!

Followed that up with a quick Gold match on Ghost with some new players. I'm impressed to see new players still coming on board with ME3's multiplayer, even now. Managed a full extraction - barely!

Ok I give up on randoms how the hell can a level 20 Juggernaught die on Bronze.

The Juggernaut is ridiculously awesome.

Gift pack, nice!

GETH JUGGERNAUT ONLINE

The Warlord is awesome off host decent on host

Yay Geth Prime and Turian Cabal, the two I wanted :)

By the way, the class builder has been updated for Reckoning. I didn't realize this myself, because you can't get the latest version unless you clear your browser's cache.

EDIT: Wait a second. So, the Geth Juggernaut's Seige Pulse ability can add dmg reduction up to 30% when fully charged and the correct level 5 evolution, fine, but does the level 6 evolution for adding an extra shot then increase that to 4 charges and 40% dmg reduction??

I ask, because I didn't think it could get any tougher than it already is lol. I stood between two brutes and a banshee on silver yesterday and let them wail on me while I drained the banshee for shield recharge. It was a moment of revelation for me when suddenly I understood that they were no longer the monsters on the battlefield.
