BioWare announces "Operation Raptor," another bounty weekend in Mass Effect 3, which will get underway at 8:00 pm EDT on Friday and run through 8:00 am EDT Monday. This is for the PC and Xbox 360 editions, and word is they are hard at work to add support for future events to the PlayStation 3 edition of the action/RPG sequel as well. Here's word on the event:

Rally your allies for this weekend’s Operation Raptor by promoting at least two characters to your single player campaign. All promotions will result in an increased N7 rating.

Allied Goal: Promote 150,000 characters. Victory Packs awarded to all players upon successful completion.

· Individual Goal: Promote 2 characters. Commendation Pack awarded to individual players upon successful completion

Commendation Packs will be awarded to individual soldiers who complete their training and a Victory Pack will be awarded to everyone if the Allied Goal is achieved. Packs will be available to download the following week.

Additionally, a 10% XP bonus will be applied during this timeframe! Now’s the time to shoot for two level 20 characters and build up your N7 rating with this weekend with Operation Raptor!

Shipped or Sold doesn't matter much to EA.
It matters to retailers. If a game collects dust on the shelves they will order less from this type, series, even publisher in the future. And the big retailers can send unsold copies back to EA. No sale, no money.

Exactly. Publishers are fond of shipped figures because its a free press release that gets carried by gaming sites and its some bluster for shareholders as well. Sold in figures are what is important.




Playing: Faster Than Light, Tales of Graces F, Fire Emblem 3DS Watching: Ghost in the Shell, Hannibal, Oblivion
