The challenge feature sounds like something that should have been in place from the start, when there were lots of people playing... oh well.

Mass Effect 3: Retaliation Pack will hit Xbox Live and Origin on October 9, with the PS3 version following the next day. It will require the latest patch of the game to work properly.
