Mass Effect 3's "Operation Olympus," a weekend-long operation filled with experience-gaining opportunities, is set for August 10th through 12th, according to developer BioWare.

"Operation Olympus" challenges squads to complete wave 10 on the Firebase London multiplayer map using any kit on any difficulty. Successful squads will earn a Commendation Pack.

Squad missions will be available using any kit and map combination, and challenge players to complete wave 10 on a combined community total of 200,000 bronze missions, 175,000 silver missions and 70,000 gold missions. Successful community completion will net all players a Victory Pack.

Participants in this Bounty Weekend will need the free "Earth" multiplayer DLC released last month, which added several class variants. You can check out our preview of "Earth," which we played at San Diego Comic-Con.
