Feel free to alert me if I have missed any obvious ones so that I may review them for addition to this compendium.
Special thanks goes to Anubis_TPF and NuclearTech for their help in compiling these links. Special thanks goes to RaenImrahl for the sticky.
Due to the change over to a new forum layout, I have updated the Library. You will now see a "legacy" link to the threads on the old forums (for historical purposes and because the old background is easier on the eyes) as well as the current/active "live" link to the new forum-counterpart of said threads.
General Advice
This section covers general gameplay advice, from beginner and novice guides like proper missile usage or character build ideas to more advanced play such as manipulating spawn points and how shield and health gates work.

Alternate Challenge Banner Designs: Live Link
To "wear" one of these custom banners, you must first have completed the challenge your desired banner is associated with (for example, you must complete Dog of War in order to choose the Grunt or Krogan custom banner). Log out of ME3 MP. Go to your N7 HQ here on the forum. Click on Challenge Awards. Then, click on the banner you wish to "wear". SPECIAL NOTE: There is currently a problem with these banners displaying properly in-game. They sometimes work, but most often show up as a "rainbow banner" broken image link.
