Leviathan: A Short ME3 DLC Review

Reapers in London.

As if the Reaper invasion wasn’t scary enough, exploring the depths of an ocean covered world with skeletal remains of fisherman and deep sea divers aboard shipwrecks coupled with a form of indoctrination by a big bug-squid hybrid just about tops my biggest fears list. Leviathan generally covers the Reapers’ origin. The term “Leviathan” is just a name given to the species in which the current Reapers were modeled after (note, in ME2, construction of a Human Reaper was underway).

In ME2, you fought off the Collectors to prevent human harvesting to produce a Human Reaper (and you fight an incomplete one at the end).

The creature that arises out of the dark, watery abyss looks exactly like the metal beings that attack worlds like Earth, Thessia, and Rannoch. However, the “Leviathans” appear to be sentient, aquatic, big beetle-like squid creature with a telepathic influence over the lesser organics. In this DLC, it is revealed that the Leviathans went into hiding in the deep sea of this random world so that they could hide from their ultimate extermination.

Leviathans.

The story for this DLC is absolutely amazing and gives incredible insight into history or possible origin behind the cycles, reaping of organics, Harbinger, and general annihilation of all sentient life in the galaxy. At the beginning of the DLC, you assume that it is the Reapers themselves indoctrinating people. Once indoctrinated, always indoctrinated, it appears. However, with the Leviathans, you can be under the influence of their telepathy, but be released and you’re fine. This issue must be related to how the quantum tunneling works for the Reapers versus the Leviathans. In addition, you get to encounter yet another ancient race, like with Javik. It just sparks an interest in what life could be waiting out there for us to discover.

The combat is generally boring, however. When you’re aboard the wreckage, the Reapers send their forces since they’re interested in the Leviathans as well. Let’s just say they send lots of Brutes when you’re in your deep-sea diving mech (given, though, they don’t send a Banshee).

Rating: 9/10

My Most Used Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Classes

Here I am again blogging about a game I greatly despise. That’s the thing about the COD games: they’re so. freaking. addictive. That said, I will provide you a look at my most used BLOPS classes since I will continue to play the games… and also complain (AND YELL AT THE TV).

There are two types of guns that I will break it down into: semi-automatic and automatic. Seeing as everyone and their mother uses purely automatic weapons aside from the occasional sniper, I try the tactic of staying back and taking people out from afar.

The FAL-OSW, otherwise known as the FAL, is probably the best assault rifle, if not the best gun overall, in the game. A single shot gun, it can take an enemy out in 2 shots. It doubles as a sniper rifle when paired with an ACOG scope, which is what I use as an attachment. The other attachment I use for the FAL is adjustable stock. Hence, I can go around corners and immediately take anyone out even up close with this thing.

The perks I use for this class are as follows and is numbered according to which perk slot it fits:

  1. Blind Eye, Hardline
  2. Cold Blooded
  3. Engineer

When I unlock suppressor, of course, this will officially be a ghost class, and more importantly, a beast class. Muwahaha.

The next class that I use just as often (yes, I know I only stick with 2 classes, but I beat things into the ground when I like ‘em), is the automatic SWAT-556, which is pretty much a run ‘n gun class. It is a fairly accurate and powerful gun, which is good for maps like Nuketown 2025 and Yemen alike.

The attachments I use for this gun are similar to that of the FAL, except I use a red dot sight (reflex, I think it’s called, in BLOPS), adjustable stock, and fast mag. The perks I use are:

  1. Flak Jacket
  2. Cold Blooded
  3. Engineer

I also use a bouncing betty and trophy system for this class.

Well, there ya have it. Now you can exploit my weaknesses; better yet, there’s no excuse for you NOT to do it and I get bragging rights if you’re demolished by me! Muwahaha!
