Exactly the same with me. I may log in though just to get the ultra rare weapon

I wish I had come to this game just a week ago. Coming to it from the beginning has me burnt out already. I would have already maxxed out a lot of the "achievements" if they had implemented them from the beginning. Not going to re-do dozens of hours of my life just to tick off boxes now.

My reward had a Typhoon in it, which I didn't have, so I'm pleased with that. I also noticed they opened up the Geth Soldier class. Hunter Mode, Flamer, and Fortification.

I don't know how I never knew about the N7 HQ thing, but I've apparently put in 176 hours into it. I am actually happy to know that I'm in the top 2% in the N7 leaderboard.

Collector SMG 1.

GAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My N7 HQ thing has never actually worked. The first time I used it was from a computer without ME3 on it so I think it sucked up some bad data and broke.

I got the Javelin last night.

They buffed that recently back up to 'quite solid.'

I got my first Harrier.

I finally got the Typhoon I, which was the last weapon I didn't have.

Seems a bit convenient that so many people were getting guns they really wanted / needed in their N7 appreciation packs, but I guess one shouldn't look a gift horse (Typhoon) in the mouth (barrel).

You can add me to that list, got a Saber 1 in my pack. I'm finding that I love that weapon.

Four of us on last night, everybody got a new weapon in the pack. Apparently was the plan?

I'm still waiting for an M-358 but I can live without it.

I've been looking around, and I haven't seen anything that tracks the differences between levels of weapons. Does anyone have any documentation for that?

Has anyone messed with the geth trooper? I thought it would be awesome, but if you just want to stand and flame I'll take the vorcha's health regen over fortification for survivability any day.

edit: although geth are the best if you want to create visually abhorrent colour schemes

Just decided to play a quick lunchtime match. Played with a guy whose N7 rank was almost 25k. #2 in the world on the leaderboards. Suffice to say, I could have just gone for coffee or something. Turian Ghost with Collector Sniper Rifle X, was simply ridiculous.

Got a Wraith I shotgun. Haven't used it yet but its stats don't seem any more impressive than a Claymore or anything else.

It falls between the Claymore and the Eviscerator and I have yet to find a single situation in which I would not prefer to have either of those over the Wraith.

I don't see the convenience of getting a Collector SMG.

You aren't chomping at the bit to earn 140k with it? I can't wait for that...

All I can say is trying to earn 140k with the Katana is taking for effing ever . . .

That's a lot of points to earn with nothing but fire powers.

Its not too horrid...sortof anyway...if you use the attachments that give a bigger clip and makes every 3rd shot free(I think thats what it does anyway) its not overly bad so long as its not your only gun.

I got that too. But since I've been out of the loop for so long, I have no idea what the hell it is.

No one likes the Collector SMG? In my brief try with a level I version, I thought it seemed pretty good. Sure, you have to stop firing fairly quickly or else have to resort to a manual reload, but it packs a punch. The only real drawback I see is the weight. And with damage & weight buffs from leveling, I can imagine it's well worth it at higher levels.

Same here. Now, the Assault Loadout gear is the only thing I don't have at at least I. (Well, that and the new Geth soldier.)

I love using the Saber with a scope. It saved me from carpal tunnel syndrome because before that I was using Mattock.

In my opinion, the Harrier is the single best gun in the game. A bit heavy for adepts, but works well with almost every other class. The only drawback being that you have to stay aware of your proximity to ammo crates, since you get maybe 3 clips before it's empty.

Most effective with the Turian Ghost (cloak set up for maximum assault rifle damage) or N7 Destroyer (devastator mode set to boost rate of fire), but Human / BF3 soldier with Adrenaline Rush is fun too.

I think the basic Turian soldier would work really well for that too by using marksmen. Makes the Geth Pulse rifle pretty good too by adding to its already crazy fire rate. Haven't gotten a ghost or destroyer myself though so I haven't gotten to try out either of them.
