Mass Effect 3's Operation: Overdrive Blasts Off Tomorrow

Operation: OVERDRIVE, the latest Mass Effect 3 bounty weekend, kicks off tomorrow.

The blurb says, “Based on intel recovered during Operation PATRIOT, we are anticipating a massive strike from the Reapers on multiple fronts. Our information officers and special-ops teams stationed behind enemy lines require immediate extraction.”

Operation: Patriot was last week's MP XP event. The Squad Goal this week is to complete up achieve full extraction on any map at any difficulty in 20 minutes or less. Squads can be any size. 

The Allied goal, meanwhile, is complete 200,000 extraction waves on any difficulty. Squads can be any size. Full extraction not required.

As ever, squad goal success grants individual players a Commendation Pack, while Allied goal success will give all players a Victory Pack.

Operation: OVERDRIVE runs from Friday October 5th to Sunday, October 7th.

Those are news, not trophy reports. Half of the news have nothing to do with trophies, but with the ps3 in general, so calm the fuck down dude.

I'm calm, just basically pissed in general at what they have done with ME series, and I happen to be taking it out on this site, ok!

We got it already, they dont give two shits about the SP franchise they created, and the lure of having people pay $.99 a pop for more "special" things was just to great to pass up.

I think I am done now...

Most games do this. Sad to say too since I like playing mp but I could live without it. Granted the me series have grown to this. Not much we can do since we just play it not create it.

Don't like it? Don't buy it. The end.

I actually like the MP in this as it shows how good/bad I am at the game. It also gives me some strategy tips when fighting different enemies. I love trophies as much as the next trophy whore but fun is FUN :D

@5 Man, I am really tired of that smug statement: "If you don't like it, don't buy it!" It pops up all over this site. This is not directed at maiku1, but rather the attitude. The "I'm right and I figured out your problem, so why can't you?" attitude is not helping anyone. To those who have frustrated gamers figured out, please save your solution for people who actually want to hear it. Telling a disgruntled player, "If you don't like it, don't buy or play it!" is like telling a soccer player, "Oh, the goalie blocked your kick and you don't like it? Just quit playing soccer!" You're missing the point. He's already in the game, and he is venting. Let him blow off steam on the sidelines; it's better there than on the field. I'd rather have Cromag take out his rage on the keyboard than the microphone, especially in my ear during an MP match.

Take a page from your own book. If you don't like what he wrote, don't read it. Don't respond to it.

By the way, I am glad you're having fun, maiku1. That is cool. Mass Effect is a truly unique game.

Cromag, EA sold out a long time ago. Ditto Activision. Sorry. I hate it too.

I call it out almost every single time I see someone use "don't like it don't buy it". It's a phrase used by butthurt fanboys in an attempt to exempt criticism. That phrase almost never addresses the argument. Also the person saying it always adds something like "simple" or "Easy as that" or in this case "The end". It proves that there's not any thought put into it and that the phrase is being parroted.

Also telling someone that if they don't like it don't read it is also wrong. There is no way to know you won't like something until you read it.

I'm not even going to buy this game for awhile. I tried to pre-order the trilogy on newegg with a discount (that worked on all other ps3 pre-orders) and this one won't let me pre-order it. I'll buy it used next year. They deserve that kind of treatment from gamers anyways. They should have been multi-platform to begin with. Then they try and reap your wallet after you paid for the full game. DLC this, DLC that.
