Operation Resurgence Weekend (Apr 13-15)
[b]Operation RESURGENCE (Apr 13-15)[/b]
Operation BEACHHEAD eased the pressure on allied planets and freed up conventional forces that were being hammered by the Reapers. With these reinforcements, the allies can use RESURGENCE to target more critical infrastructure.
Anyone who has the Resurgence Pack multiplayer DLC operational during this weekend will be granted a Reserves Pack. A Reserves Pack unlocks one of the new random alien classes guaranteed.
All participating squads will earn +10% additional experience when playing on the Resurgence expansion’s new maps, Firebase: Condor and Firebase: Hydra.
Welcome to Operation Resurgence, the next N7 Challenge Weekend!
This week we released our first multiplayer expansion, the Resurgence Pack. This DLC added new maps, characters, weapons, and consumables. If you haven’t had a chance to download it yet, make sure to grab it; it’s available for no additional charge.
Firebase Condor and Firebase Hydra are available immediately. If you download the Resurgence Pack and play this weekend you will be rewarded with a Reserves Pack the following week, containing one new Resurgence character.
This Operation is currently available to Xbox 360 and PC users only, and will run from Friday, April 13th at 5PM PST to Monday, April 16th 5AM PST. Unfortunately, we are not yet able to offer our Multiplayer Challenge weekends on PlayStation 3. Sony has not yet approved the promotion. We continue to work with them to find a compromise, but until then, Sony will not allow us to run the same Multiplayer Challenges on the PlayStation 3 that we run on Xbox 360 and PC.
Please remember to set “Upload Gameplay Feedback” to “on” in the online options to be able to participate in Operation Resurgence.
Nice little statement there....
Geez... too easy. Just play on one of the maps during the weekend and get a pack reward next week.... at least the pack reward gives you one fo the new characters.
I'm glad they put that XP bonus on the two new maps though because they just randomly come up if you do random/random. If you assign the map and do random enemy you loose that XP bonus right now.
I find this interesting
Why is sony being such ass-hats !? glad i don't own a PS3.
I think that has something to do with how that send feedback option we need to allow on Xbox/PC. Something like the Sony network doesn't support that functionality, so it's impossible for it to work on that platform. Not sure if that is not possibly due to hardware, software, or perhaps some easily enabled function that Sony just needs to allow.
That's idiotic. You can't tell me there's no way for them to update the game to recognize when a player promotes 2 characters and just give them the damn pack on the spot. There's no need to collect all the data and the other bullshit they're doing. And it's not like the community is going to fail to kill x number of brutes or whatever they come up with, just give them the pack on Tuesday with the rest of us.
Oh they probably could. but I doubt there is much return on investment to develop, test and implement that kind of code specific to one platform. It would also then lesser there case against Sony for them to allow things to work on their network like it does for MS and the PC.
I also think it would be easy for them to also grant the community earned pack to the PS3 - obviously if the PC and Xbox people passed the community challenge, then so did the PS3 people. Then at least PS3 users would get something.
Just playing devil's advocate here... I hate both EA and Sony, and I would be perfectly happy if they both would DIAF :)
The issue here doesn't sound like the 'reward'. It sounds like Sony doesn't want the same type of promotions going on in-game on the PS3 version as the Xbox/PC which are microsoft platforms. Sony's just being a douche about it.
