04/09/12 - I really wish this contest were based on the quality of entries...
04/06/12 - I do single play. and just pick at random because I have skillz.
04/02/12 - I don't even understand what the question is asking. Is it talking about builds? Power assignments?
03/28/12 - It might be just random selection?

03/27/12 - I posted my first application on Thursday of last week and it still hasn't passed moderation. If that means I'm out of the running, than Prima needs to consider getting on it and looking at their contest entries. I'm like the rest of you and put some thought in my combinations and I even put quite a bit of thought on this week's challenge.
03/27/12 - they update on twitter,... look there who the winner is and it looks like new question gets posted at the same time
Metrodome says:
03/27/12 - How about one that allows Australians to play not just people who live in the USA
03/27/12 - Do you know when they're posting the question for the week of 3-27?
03/27/12 - Have they posted the question for this week yet? or is the one up above for it?
03/27/12 - @Apocryphea according to the contest details, the winner is selected randomly, so it doesn't matter how good it was. And even if it isn't published, we still get entered into the contest. i put a lot of effort time into writing my guide only to find out that the contest is not based on quality and my guide is also awaiting moderation.
03/27/12 - @Apocryphea the same thing happened to me... I think this is unfair and unjust!
03/27/12 - Hey i submitted a really nice guide on the first day of this contest and it's STILL awaiting moderation. In fact i'm quite sure it was a winning entry yet i have received no news of it :(
Korena says:
03/27/12 - OMG This is basically all the stuff I want so so so badly! I hope I win something :(

03/26/12 - Personally, I would like to see the contest winner's guide and see my own finally pass through moderation.
Rizartha says:
03/26/12 - Anyone know what time today they will be announcing the winner for last week and the contest for this week?
Rizartha says:
03/26/12 - So... Any word on what time to day they will announce who won the first weeks entry and what this weeks contest will be?
Rizartha says:
03/26/12 - So, anyone know when today they will be telling us who won and what the contest for this week will be?
fmiles22 says:

chenga91 says:
03/24/12 - I hope I win also! Good luck everyone~
03/23/12 - So how long does it typically take for user-submitted guides to get moderated? Mine's been in "Awaiting Moderation" for about 2 days and I want to make sure I get my entry into the contest.

03/23/12 - Thanks for giving us the chance to win!
03/22/12 - Where's the sweepstakes?!
03/22/12 - 22/03/12 - I take Mostly Liara and Garrus. This is the best squad for me, because they are my favorite characters :) But in fight - Liara's Singularity, Garrus' Concussive Shot and mine vanguard charge just wrap up the thing, beating ME3 on insanity with them is like a piece of cake (maybe except banshees, tough stuff) In MP when i play with Friends, we take Soldier, Vanguard, Infiltrator and Engineer, simple tactics, Vanguard sticks with soldier, this duo can really quick put down a banshee, while getting some support from an Infiltrator, Engineer mostly for turrets, they help with brutes :D
Kujata says:
03/22/12 - I did SinglePlayer for mine. With MultiPlayer so many different things can work. Most classes are well created and represented, and if powered right, they can do any level rather well.
03/22/12 - I'm not sure whether this "squad" loadout was to be for SP or MP. So I picked MP - because of the strategy involved, especially in a Gold run - and went with that.
03/22/12 - But yes I think multiplayer is defiantly more of a strategy than single player. Everybody can contribute in multiplayer, I just hate when you get noob Vanguards in that try to be hero and end up getting every one else killed.
03/22/12 - I Prefer sheppard to be a Biotic complimented with a Soldier and a Tech specialist. I just lay down the final blows after the tech specialist has soften the targets up and the soldier distracts them with heavy suppresive fire.
03/21/12 - Agreed. There is no 1, definitive best squad. ME3 is too complex of a game for that. It can be played SO many different ways. None-the-less, some players do tend to lean toward one group of squad members or another. That is why the contest is to post YOUR best squad. It's completely subjective on your part. And that's okay.... ;)
dagent145 says:
03/21/12 - OK, I'll answer for single player since, well, in Multi I've seen all sorts of odd combos, such as 3 vanguards and an infiltrator, work really really well. For my Infiltrator Shepard I did a fair bit of rotation but what I thought worked best in the end (and thus took into the "final battle") was Garrus and Javik. Both bring alot of firepower to the table with some useful powers (especially our Prothean buddy) as well. I'd occasionally swap out Garrus for Vega, the other big "gun bunny" as you like. Vega/Liara was another common combo.
Sadorath says:
03/21/12 - For single player I always pick the classics. My first choice is Garrus Vakarian and Liara T'soni. Garrus brings ranged combat and tech abilities to the battle hammering through the defenses of shielded and armored opponents. While the biotics of Liara are perfect for disabling, stunning and maiming the unprotected.

03/21/12 - Agreed, there is no best squad. ME3 can be played SO many different ways, which is why this is a completely subjective answer on your part. The contest is question is to submit YOUR best squad. ;) Doesn't matter if it's multiplayer or single-player.
03/21/12 - All those look amasing man, but I like the hoodie the most ^^
03/21/12 - To be honest, there is no "best" squad. Even in multi-player. This is a wasted competition... No offence to anyone who's submitted. Everyone's got a preference, but each squad selection differs with Shepherd's class but I just chose my squad because I wanted the originals on my team! XD
03/21/12 - haha I typed up one for multi player, I think that should be it anyway...the squad in game was something I always changed lol, I liked most of my characters
03/21/12 - can you guys be more specific, do you mean for single player or multi-player?
03/21/12 - Hope I win!
