    I have no idea what that screenshot is meant to be of.

    After opening about 10 packs since I got the DLC all I have received are the Vorcha sentinel and the Quarian Engineer. I've noticed several people with Reager X's and Krysae X's and they are extremely powerful weapons - can't wait to get my hands on one

    I met Lance Henriksen (voice of Admiral Hackett) today at a sci-fi show and asked him about the new dialogue for the extended ending. He said he's recorded all of the new stuff and he had about 2 pages to record, so roughly 2 minutes of extra dialogue for him!

    New weekend challenge starts on Friday night http://social.bioware.com/forum/Mass...2446637-1.html

    Notably both the Victory and Commendation packs shall contain N7 weapons and both goals seem particularly easy.

    Easy challenge this week. Hopefully the Victory pack contains an ultra-rare and not a second promotional N7.

    Yeah I move into a new flat on the 26th so will be without Internet for a while. Might as well just watch the new stuff on Youtube, don't really need to play through the game again for a few extra scenes.

    Just hope this doesn't annoy the fans further...

    Completed this weeks N7 challenge before I moved out! Can anyone remember how long it is before the packs expire once they are awarded?

    I got kicked off silver again, on wave 10, again. This is just not worth it. I can't wait until my new PC finally arrives so I can stop playing this **** and move on to Skyrim. I don't think I'm ever going to invest in Bioware again after ME3 and their piss poor MP. I was going to buy TOR, but then I took a disconnect to the ps3.

    It's not really a "new" ending, just an expansion of the other ones.

    Well the Extended Cut has been released. Have to download it later as I don't have enough time to complete it yet.

    Ending spoilers (minor extended cut spoilers):

    I've seen the destroy and control endings so far. They both definitely improve on what we had before, and the control ending has some particularly cool dialogue.

    The Starchild has some extra investigation dialogue options which is nice, and I'm pretty sure the wording of some of his lines have been changed to include slightly better wording. There's also a new ending that's been added. You can see that if you decide to shoot the kid.

    There have been a couple of minor changes such as
    Spoiler:
    Show
    the Mass Relays no longer being destroyed in any of the endings
    but the rest is just additional scenes. I still don't think it's worth downloading but it's definitely a must-watch for anyone that's played the game.

    Watched 3 of the endings on Youtube, will play through the other one (my real choice) later. There really doesn't seem to be anything in them that you couldn't have already inferred by yourself, these are really the endings for people who for some reason didn't understand the original, more subtle ones or were being deliberately obtuse and making too much of minor plot holes.

    As far as I can tell, the changes they made were:

    Spoiler:
    Show
    You now get to ask the catalyst for clarification as to what each of the options do.

    A pointless scene where Hackett tells everyone to evacuate as the Catalyst has been armed, along with one of your crew telling joker he has to let go and leave you.

    A little montage of Reapers leaving/getting destroyed on other planets as well as Earth.

    Slideshows of some random things like Krogans rebuilding and having babies, Geth on their homeworld, Zaeed sunbathing, while a voiceover from one of the main characters plays in the background telling everyone how great Sheperd was and how there is now peace in the Galaxy and stuff.

    A scene where your crew add your name to the list of fallen crewmates on the Normandy.

    Explicit dialogue and video showing that the relays and the Normandy have been repaired (who would have guessed that).

    You also get a fourth option basically telling the catalyst to go **** himself, and it basically ends with you failing, but Liara being able to pass on a beacon with critical information to future species who are able to win and break the cycle.

    Of all of these I'd say the extra questions you can ask the catalyst and the scene with your crew are the only genuine improvements, they rest was only really useful in confirming what I already guessed would happen, and not really necessary

    Watched on YouTube. Not bothering to download and play through. Seems they are still under the impression that the entire game series has been about organics v synthetics. Oh well. That'll teach me to preorder..!

    Oh dear.. Get over yourself. Thinking the ending was crap and wanting an expansion of it in the vain hope that would make it less crap ≠ not understanding the ending.
