Operation Beachhead (from 7 to 9 April)
Allied forces gathered Krogan mercenary, and the Butarien Justicars Asari for a new fight.
Their mission: to create a drag force on the planets occupied by the Reapers in order to master them.
Target ally successful extractions on Firebase 500 000 Reactor and Firebase Glacier.
Team Goal: Successful extraction of Firebase Reactor in difficulty Gold
If the goal is reached ally, the community will be rewarded with a pack "Victory".
If the team goal is reached, the team will receive a pack "Commendation".
Operation Beachhead will begin the next weekend N7 multiplayer!
Last weekend the community has come together to promote more than 350,000 units on the battlefield, a record! This weekend we once again appeal to our veterans to attack bases and Firebase Reactor Firebase Glacier.
Yay... gold on the two shittiest maps. For people playing gold for the first time , they're in for a hell of a shock trying to get it done on either of those two craptastic maps.
It talks about Krogans and Asari's and Reapers, not sure how they really play into this or not. The requirements don't specifically say gold Reapers and play as krogan or asari. I assuming for the moment you can play whatever character vs whatever enemy as long as it's on Glacier or Reactor.
First community failure?
well this challenge will suck
To hell with their stupid challenges. All you get are the dumb N7 weapons in a commendation pack. If they could guarantee me a certain weapon or character, I might care.
I still like doing them for the challenge.
And honestly reactor on gold isn't that hard. We did it first try when we tried it. Hold the bottom room and you only have 2 choke points to watch.
I think you mean Glacier. Reactor we held the spawn where that broken ammo box is which sucked but we did it. Glacier we held the bottom, one Infil assigned to watch the right ramp, two assigned to watch the left ramp/staircase/landing pad funnel, and one guy floating, mostly shooting the left side but moving over to the right when needed.
It works... it just takes a little longer since you're setup in a 'come to us' strategy.
But ya... The random pack system is now a little demodivating for me. I have all the characters and all the guns I want and the gun mods on those few guns I want are lvl 5. So about the only thing that gets me excited now is seeing an M98 WIdow in the box to keep progressing that to lvl 10. And wanting only a single thing out of the box means 99.9% of the packs are a disappointment .
I want a lot of things out of the boxes and they're still a dissapointment for me.
Haha, agreed. Like I said before, I really wish you could trade stuff with other players.
Looks to me like they changed their minds? It's just a bonus 25XP weekend.
Probably got spooked by their commendation pack issues.
Good, i didn't miss anything then. I wasn't able to play fri, sat or sun. 24x XP would have been nice to grind N7 levels but I'd rather get 25x MONEY than XP.
Man, I completely missed this. Maybe I'll catch the next one.
