Unexpected attacks have taken out several squads and damaged vital Alliance equipment. We will deploy drones to repair damage and investigate the nature of these attacks.

Squad Goal: Complete up to and including wave 10 on any difficulty without using a consumable (medi-gel, ammo, Ops pack or Cobra missile launcher)
Allied Goal: Complete 250,000 escort missions on any difficulty.
Special Circumstance: None

Individual Goal Success: All individual players awarded a Commendation Pack
Allied Goal Success: All players awarded a Victory Pack

AAAAND Here is the additional clarification per Chris Priestly:

 

No one in the party can use consumables.

 

Why oh why can they not just write it clearly to begin with?

Another good question is whether weapon, ammo and armor mods are included since they are listed under consumables in your player manifest.

 

No response from Priestly yet.

Please send me invites this weekend if you see me on multiplayer.  Haven't played with the group in a couple weeks.  Been busy in life, playing Modern Wrfare 3 with my OFC  clan or playing Fallout New Vegas(finally bought the last DLC, been out almost a year).

 

I think a group that is committed to doing this can easily get it done on  Bronze.  I worry that if I am in a random group, there will be idiots who,  

A. Don't know about the challenge 

B. Don't give a rats ass about the challenge

C. Will wait until half way through Wave 10, use a medigel and laugh about it then quit the match.

Yeah, this is definately one to do with people you trust. Will need to just do it on bronze to remove any temptation/need to use a consumable. Chiro, I think you can still use gear and mods. Just no single use consumables. But again some confirmation would be nice.

Priestly posted that the consumables only includes the Medigel, op survival, missiles and thermal packs.

 

You can still use ammo, armor and weapon mods.

I'm trying to get back into the MP, I'll try to look out for some of you this weekend.  Have you all mainly moved on from bronze and silver runs, or is there a place for slow learners like me still?

Nice to play with you last night Hammer.  Sorry I did not get a friend request to you.  Will shoot you one later today.

I primarliy play SIlver as this is my best skill level challenge.  The occasional Gold is thrown in for giggles

Platinum is  way to crazy and I really don't enjoy it  at all.

I play Bronze only when I have promoted a character and don't want to be embarresed while level 1.  Once they are Level 8 or so, they go to Silver.

 

I also play bronze with my strongest characters sometimes if I am just a few credits short of a PSP.  A strong team can finish Bronze in under 15 minutes.  It also makes me feel like a big  man  by dominating the  enemy with overwhelming force444649505343

Thanks to Osiris and Leeski last evening.

 

No problem with our 3 man team on Bronze vs. Cerberus.  London map.

 

My Destoyer, with Revenant and Indra.

I know Leeski had a Geth with a turret that was doing the work!

Sorry, can't recall Osiris' player.  I think it was a Krogan build.

 

Did not have to revive any one, even once.

 

I oplan to do this at least once more over the weekend.  I played another random game after that and not long after we finished, the EA servers crashed.  This was about 10 min. after midnight EST.   I owuld have been very upset if if that had happened in Wave 10 of a "challenge" match.

so the operation failed. Total #231,456. Close. So I wonder how the squad goal will go. I imagine lots of folks out there PUGin' it might assume they got it when in fact someone in the party trolled the squad. Hate to be bioware customer service on this one. Good thing I had 2o2p folks to play with!

I smell a set-up.

 

Bioware obviously has the ability to see these  statistics from the entire history of the matches from the start.  They must have known that this would fail.  Failing by 19,000 is embarrassing for them to have even made this a challenge goal.  I think that Bioware's thought process is to try to get people playing more hours.  Not happening with ne games being released.  I saw a lot of ME3 friends playing  Madden football over the weekend.

 

Relying on a random event is wrong.  If players could have CHOSEN to have escort missions, this goal would have been doubled or maybe tripled.

 

I know that at least twice I made the squad goal, once with randoms who discussed it before starting.  It was a SILVER match as well.

So I know a few of you completed the challenge and did NOT get your commendation packs (Contains one promotional N7 weapon). Here is a link for you to check your status and I believe there is a form you can fill out right there to get assistance:

You can also click the link "Commendation Pack Help" at the top of the Bioware Mass Effect 3 page. Hope that helps!
