Play with S.P.E.C.T.R.E. members this week!!!

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't posted anything for a while. Been busy. Anyway, thought you all might like to know that S.P.E.C.T.R.E. is hosting a community challenge Operation Lodestar: Pt. II.

Check it out and if you're interested in playing, post a reply on the thread or PM me (Xbox GT: Grun7mas7er) or another Spectre and we'll see if we can get you into a lobby.

We're doing this until September 1st, so there's plenty of time to get into a game.

Thanks to Max Dmian, newly promoted leader of S.P.E.C.T.R.E., for organizing the event!

OPERATION: PROPHECY

POSTED ON DECEMBER 20, 2012 BY BIOWARE

Operation: PROPHECY (December 21st-23rd)

Event Description:

Our successes on Earth have given us the capability to land materiel in several war zones. However, in order to conceal shipments to the resistance, each delivery needs corresponding strikes on Reaper targets to create a screening distraction. The operations to deliberately gain Reaper attention are extremely high-risk and will require increased numbers to spread thin Reaper reaction forces. For this mission, N7 commanders, wherever possible, will recruit and command supplemental volunteer units: recent graduates of our N7 program and soldiers who bring experience from other branches.

Challenge Goal 1: Extract once on each Earth map (London, Vancouver, and Rio).

Challenge Goal 2: Score 100,000 cumulative points against Reaper enemies.

Challenges can be completed at any difficulty.

Completion of both goals awards the player a Commendation Pack.
Completion of both goals also awards the player a banner, “Hero of the Last Days.”



[Bioware surprised us by starting the operation a day early]
Happy holidays!

Operation: ALAMO

http://blog.bioware.com/2012/12/13/operation-alamo/

Operation: ALAMO (Dec 14^th-16^th)

Event Description: The Reapers are taking advantage of our forces being spread thin and are making a push for Menae. Alliance Intelligence predicts that the Reapers are luring us into committing large-scale defenses to the moon that they will wipe out. Our counter-strategy is to insert small, stealthy units to conduct disruptive offensives and hold the firebase during their hopefully weakened attacks.

Team Goal: Earn the “Survived 5 Waves” medal on the Firebase Condor map at any difficulty. Extraction not required.

Reward: Commendation Pack

Operation: ONSLAUGHT

http://blog.bioware.com/2012/12/06/operation-onslaught/

Event Description: Losses of industrial capacity have caused shortages of specialized weapons on several fronts. Population centers must be reclaimed for us to rebuild munitions factories, and N7s will lead recon and assault teams to prep the way for regular infantry to take the territory.

Individual Goal: Earn 75,000 points of damage using an assault rifle on any map at any difficulty. Points are cumulative across matches. Extraction not required.

Reward: Commendation Pack

Looks like a pretty easy challenge this weekend. Too bad I already did the assault rifle challenge. Bioware, can I has Hurricane?

Operation: DETONATOR

http://blog.bioware.com/2012/11/29/operation-detonator/

Event Description: Recent setbacks have prompted changes in unit composition. Turian cabal theory is now dominant training paradigm. N7 units will now be deployed with pairs or higher percentages of biotics wherever available to maximize effectiveness.

Individual Goal: Earn 20,000 Biotic Explosion points on any map at any difficulty. You will need to kill the enemy with the explosion for the points to count. Points are cumulative across matches. Extraction not required.

Reward: Commendation Pack

Looks interesting. I wonder if this means they're adding a Turian Cabal character?
