Mass Effect 3 Operation Exorcist Brings Weekend Challenges To PS3
Remember when EA and BioWare said they'd be working on bringing those weekend Multiplayer Challenges for Mass Effect 3 to the PS3?
Well, they're true to their word. BioWare has announced "Operation Exorcist," as detailed at the developer's official website. This event will be the first one available to PS3 owners, and more will follow. In fact, all future Weekend Challenges will be coming to Sony's machine. About time, right?
Apparently, it took some time for Sony to approve this promotion but at least it's done now. Remember, Xbox 360 and PC owners have been enjoying these Challenges since ME3 launched in early March. In Operation Exorcist, players must survive until extraction on any map on Gold difficulty. The other goal is to kill 1,000,000 Cerberus Phantoms between tonight at 6 p.m. PDT and April 30 at 5 p.m. PDT. If you're successful with each goal, you'll nab a Victory Pack and Commendation Pack, so get crackin' on the mass elimination!
See? They delivered...eventually.

Also, if you play ME3's multiplayer, it isn't stupid. If you don't play multiplayer, you didn't lose anything. It's clearly only for those who play the game's multiplayer.

So it was Sony's approval process that slowed down the N7 special events arrival on the PS3? Sounds like a reasonable explanation. Bioware did say Sony got in the way. Good to see they have worked out their differences and I am pleased that this happened so quickly since we first heard last week that Sony was working with Bioware to bring these special events to PS3 owners.
Zettai and I have been playing Mass Effect 3 almost daily for quite awhile and have had a lot of fun together. Zettai messaged me last night when he heard about the good news. By the way Zettai thank you very much for doing that. We've have never beaten a Gold match together though. I have beaten a Gold match a grand total of two times.
I ran accross an extremely high level player in a Gold match that had an insane 3953 experience points! That's an unbelievable amount. He was an amazing player as well. In a couple of waves three team members died early in the wave. He confidently told us not to worry guys I got this and then managed to finish the waves off by himself.
We were fighting the Geth on Firebase White. Once the three of us were down the player retreated to the small room downstairs and took cover in the corner. He took down countless Geth with the special reach over the wall melee that yanks the enemy over the wall to you and slams them to ground for and instant kill for a ton of points. That particular melee attack does not work on Geth Primes but it does work on every other Geth.

I only played a bit last night as I felt sleepy very early. Got home two hours after work, watched the latest episode of Fringe for the third time in the same day (LOL), and finally played ME3 online. I think I only played four or five rounds before calling it a day.
I'll try to play more later this evening if I get to resist the very strong urge to watch The Avangers after work. It's been showing here since Thursday. Haha!

The Primes can be dealt with quite easily as long as you camp on that spot you were referring to. All the other Geth enemies can be killed by doing a grab. The Geth don't throw grenades, so that makes things really easy. We can try that later on Gold if you want (and if you won't ignore my invites). LOL

Though apparently it won't help the overall outrage of the ending(s). I'm just about to do the last 2 missions and I'm still fretting for a disasterous finish, which then I hope it's surprisingly not as bad as expected, if not just pretend the original ending concept actually happened instead, which then I'd make my imaginary decision and live on happily ever after...half in denial.

However, as I reminisced afterwards in my sleep, I came to find flaws and plotholes within the end. And throughout the night and the rest of today, more thought on the ending instead raised more questions, each new discovery developing an even more disgruntled face.
I'll probably post my opinion on how/why it's considered disasterous for many. Until then, thanks for the reply.
