Finished it.

Good DLC, but also probably the weakest of the major DLC packs - Kasumi, Overlord, and Shadow  Broker were all better.

The balance in certain fights was just not there. This was frustratingly hard on Insanity, far and away the hardest mission, and a lot of it came down to enemy spawn points and a lack of choke points to take cover behind. That and a general glitchiness which made it so Pyros weren't stunned as often as they should be.

This DLC will end up really important from a story perspective, but it's the least well-constructed mission in the entire game.

Still, it had some bad-ass moments in it and was worth the purchase.

Agreed.

Now, I want to see what they will come up with for the reapers to arrive. They said that without the Alpha relay it would take months or years for them to arrive on Earth.

 

Well they said months or years... and given that you can do it midway through the story, I don't think that really matters. What I do like is that this means that we will almost definitely be going to Earth at the start of Mass Effect 3! Which is what I have been waiting for for the last 2 games, hopefully they let us do some proper exploration there, not just a quick look then it goes boom

As for the difficulty, I had to turn it down from hardcore to veteran for the final battle I was finding it far trickier than anything in the main game, but I wasn't awful (level 30 sentinel with sniper)
