I think it's comparable to ME3's Gold, since 1.08. Which is not too easy IMHO. Just fine. Though I don't see myself soloing MEAMP Gold anytime soon... I can easily solo wave or two with certain kits. haha I wouldn`t dare try to solo the whole game though. It would be agonizing for me... Angara Avenger vs Outlaws on Zero is an easy gold solo as long as you are somewhat patient (and don't get uploads wave 6). I only used 1 rocket (wave 6 hack) and 1 medigel (on wave 2 with only 2 enemies left). I say go for it! I KNOW you can do it.

Easy? Depends totally on the teammates and the connection to the host. In some Gold games I have to hunt for something to kill, in some games I´m running all over the map to revive the decoys and using up all my gels and cobras while trying that. Some teams steamroll gold, some teams wipe on silver.

I don't think the game is easier, just that the kits and weapons are now better balanced and hover around where the upper stuff was in ME3. The game isn't easier than going through gold with the Turian Ghost with a Harrier, but it's easier than trying to use the lower tier kits and weapons.

Best ME3 Solo Kits Turian Ghost, Drell Infiltrator, Geth Infiltrator, Geth Juggernaut, Krogan Vanguard... lol MEAMP can be really easy if people just take advantage of 20 grenades per wave even without good weapon. but I see very rarely people spamming grenade. I always use 20 grenades per wave if I am playing Grenade kits. lol

There's no other situation a good player shouldn't be able to handle How about 2 scrubs + minimum 3 Ascendant assassination mission. That was pretty painful.. I don`t think many people can pull it off... lol

So basically hard objectives with useless teammates

One reason why this game seems easier than ME3: lack of sync kills. Think of how many golds in ME3 you didn't extract from outside of a couple teammates, if not all, getting synced. Hell, you can even add Plat to that. Devices could be brutal on ME3, uploads or Ascendant targets on targets W6 can be brutal on MEA. Again, all relative here, but I feel that enemies are more accurate and do more damage than on ME3. Just MHO, but that means fuck all. But, I sure die a hell of a lot more than ME3.

Too easy? Pffft, if anything, it´s too hard. I still bleed out on wave 1. On dirt difficulty nonetheless. #biovarplsnerfmea Pffft? PFFFTT! Tutorial. That's where I die. Scrub, I solo'd the tutorial before anyone. After that everyone kept copying me and taking the blueprint I laid out for everyone.

Nah. Both me3 and mea gold are in the fun zone as they should. me3 got platinum that made things a bit more interesting and mea will probably get a harder difficulty at some point. And tbh I'm totally fine with this. I play the game to have fun not to feel annoyed and gold is just the right difficulty for that. Just my 2 cents.

I love being pedantic.

There should be a special difficulty for those who want to challenge themselves, including only Sharpshooters, Destineds, Breachers, Adhi/Wraiths, Berserkers and pre 1.06 Fiends.

I love being pedantic. It's a fair point, but I don't look at it that way at all. Maybe it's my fighting game background, but I'm usually looking to optimize my play. That means evaluating the kits and choosing the one I think is strongest within my skill set (at least until I conquer the game with it and move on). Thus, the comparison isn't to average out the power of the kits, especially if some see hardly any use. It's to compare the top to the top. To be honest, I think this game is harder with the top kits than ME3 was with the TGI or AIU, GI, etc. on gold.

ME3 enemies didn't shred your ass for being in the wrong position in less than 5 seconds. ME3 enemies were more predictable. Spawns were also more predictable. But, sync kill type bosses in ME3 were far more dangerous. The only boss I fear in MEA is the fiend and only because its broken. ME3 could be much harder though and the why is hard to define for me. It had good level design and mostly balanced enemies. It felt like when you died it was your fault. MEA cannot say the same. When you die in MEA, most of the time it feels like "if I didn't get stuck on this piece of the map..." or "that damn dog grabbed my ass during a biotic charge!!!!" or even "I can't believe 7 mooks all in different places could see me and shoot me".
As far a solos go, I could solo gold with any kit in ME3 and I struggle to do it in MEA with good kits. So, maybe, they are about equal in difficulty just in different ways.

To be honest, I think this game is harder with the top kits than ME3 was with the TGI or AIU, GI, etc. on gold. I certainly don't disagree there. Nothing we have here with the exception of Stealth Grid triavilizes the game the way having free unlimited ops packs or gels in grenade form did for those. GI I see as distinct from those others in that it was dominant in the hands of a decent player, but it wasn't prone to abuse by players with no skill the way jetpack turians, edibots and (especially) juggs were.

I have a real question. By easy, what are you comparing this game to? Largest portion of players are on bronze, and believe it or not, can't under any circumstance play silver, they just don't have the reflexes and means to win. MEA is for casual players, and its for casual SINGLE players. MEAMP is literally for single player lore and to bust your wallet with MTs.
To be honest, unless MEAMP was actually a competitive shooter with player vs player, it will always be "easy" its a bunch of dam predictable bots doing the same thing nonstop. I actually was hopping for a battlefield style shooter with mass effect powers when I 1st heard they were going frostbite.
