The Asari Sentinel in orange and red looks a bit like Samus without a helmet. The infiltrators look like Boba Fett a bit.

Naming and coming up with elaborate backstories for our characters was my group of friends favorite ME3 pastime. My Infiltrator was the first Salarian to convert to Judaism and Bill the Gay Geth could achieve consensus like no other, girlfriend

No I mean, do the names at least appear to me.

I had fun naming my dudes in ME3MP even if usually I picked a letter at random and then picked the first result from the PS3's predictive keyboard. My Destroyer was named Reason.

There was very little more satisfying than that long rear end windup to just remove someone's loving head.

I dunno. Hulk Krogan's Red and Yellow makes a convincing argument.

Unlocked and played the Krogan Gladiator last night - it's pretty weak at low levels and really suffers from the lack of melee lock-on. :sigh:

I miss the warlord and ME3 Krogan. At least rage doesn't cause headaches anymore!

Have they said anything about fixing the stupid melee? Like how did that get missed? Or is that supposed to be some sort of a "balance" change? If the game was first person I'd be a little more understanding but with a fixed third person camera that won't even show if some dumbass wraith is eating your butthole it just makes no sense

Might be something they couldn't do with the new game engine.

Let's go crazy Broadway style!
I found the Krogan Gladiator I unlocked last night to be delightful- Pull then Smash off the map. And while you can miss with the giant hammer 'cause Bioware, when it hits that noise "KRUNG". I kind of wish it had Barrier, but pull and Nova should work nicely. I did one Bronze, then was able to jump to Silver and clear them. Played with a lvl 6 Gladiator one round, not sure how many boxes THAT took. . . .

I wish that when you used the hammer after pull, the animation would change to a baseball bat home run swing

I finally unlocked Kineticist the other night and she is loving bonkers. At level 3 I took her into Gold and topped the score list (possibly because of the "double points for biotics" bug, which I know nothing about) but points don't matter, what matters is how fast everything started dying once I got into Ascension.

And like I said that's at level I/3. I can only imagine what she's like at X/20.

You get both assist and kill points with some biotics, particularly Pull in the case of the Kineticist.

It's not really a bug, it's a feature to let support oriented classes score points without necessarily straight up killing poo poo.

If you pull an enemy out of cover and someone else shoots it, you still get points for helping out. If you pull an enemy out of cover and shoot it yourself, you get the full points for killing it and then you get extra points for helping... yourself.

I'm ok with the assignment of points being unbalanced for a while if the debts want to work on other parts of the game first

Score doesn't mean that much anyway. I've seen the top scoring player in a match ignore a device objective they're sat right next to more than once.

The biotic double dip thing got brought up because one person was like "I TOP THE SCOREBOARD ALL THE TIME YOU JUST NEED TO GET loving GOOD YOU SCRUBS"
