First thing, shoutouts! Welcome back to our community

As I am a Nooby Mc Scrubs myself, I don't think I can give you all the pro tips. You should ask more experienced, better players than me But if I may suggest you something it would be going to the thread where all the MP bugs are written. It will help you a lot, trust me. When I first saw what is wrong with many powers I shaked my head with disbelief.

Maps: with a good team any map is easy to be honest but the most beginner friendly are imo: Giant and White. And of course it depends on what enemy you play against and on what difficulty. Maps like Condor, London, Hydra could be very tough. But as I said - it all depends on many things.

Tips I can think of right off the bat: Do not use your casting powers on flying Praetorian (you're gonna activate his bubble which give him damage reduction), shooting Abominations in the head prevents them from blowing up in your face (you must be precise ofc), also N7 Shadow heavy melee cuts their heads off so it works as well. Help with the objectives, that's the most basic thing. You will do escort much quicker when your full team is doing it rather than you split to 2 & 2 (well, it depends tbh). Do not nuke extraction wave unless it's a matter of being dead or alive Do not camp at the EZ on extraction too. The best thing to do is going to the opposite side of the map and rush to the EZ like 20 s before the extraction.

I think many people will bring more tips for you and be aware, even if you do everything by the book, pugging life is hard sometimes. But you'll find it out on your own haha.

I was in the same situation as you, like a year ago. I didn't know a thing. Now thanks to my local friends and awesome people I met here, I think I'm not that bad player anymore Also I wish BioWare could add maps like Horizon, Geth Dreadnought, Citadel, Palaven, Cerberus HQ, Rannoch etc. It would be so awesome to have a chance to play on these maps imo. And would help a lot those amazing people who creates incredible challenges for us. Right HamleticTortoise ?

Wow, thanks for all the tips, seems ME3MP community is still kicking What a change of tone from the MEAMP threads mired in gloom, despair and disappointment. Seeing what Bioware managed to do with ME3MP I now have some hope they'll pull it off with MEAMP too, eventually, but for now I'm gonna have fun for a change. For starters I think imma take on Brutes with a Volus. Should be hillarious.

It can take a while, depending on a few factors, but can be hilarious.

Hold down heavy melee during the Brute's charge. The heavy melee will mitigate the stagger (Shield Boost doesn't prevent stagger.) After the charge, release heavy melee and fire off shield boost. Assuming you're keeping Shield Boost's Refresh close to three seconds or under (for the purpose of this particular trick, you'll want to check your loadout power screen to see what the refresh time under Shield Boost is) you can keep cycling between Heavy Melee and Shield Boost back and forth.

This creates a three-second(ish) cycle where you spend 0.5 seconds in damage immunity, followed by diminishing damage reduction and shield restoration for a second, then 0.5 seconds of damage immunity, followed by diminishing damage reduction and shield restoration for about a second. Technically, this works on a lot of enemies, but the brute is the one it works best on (and is the most impressive-looking.)

The danger is in the synch kill, which is telegraphed by the red eye animation. I believe you can still get around this by carefully timing the immunity (the first half-a-second after activating shield boost or heavy melee.) The heavy melee's lingering damage reduction is higher, but the shield restoration is lower, while shield boost is the reverse - significant shields are restored initially and for the duration, but less damage mitigation is in effect after the initial immunity ends. In combination, however, they render the Volus nearly invulnerable, at least when facing a single enemy.

I'm aware that synch kills can occur without being telegraphed.

I have to say I am more surprised than you. I mean in the old forum you'd have had ten variations of "Git gud!" in the first 12 posts...  Instead you got some excellent advice for having fun with the best MP game still in play.

Oh and volus are OP characters as proven by the video above...

I'm seeing lots of new peeps around in MP. It'd be nice if some of the old cats came back too. Speaking of - has anyone seen our dear old friend the Vorcha Pyro?

ME3MP is vastly superior! Welcome back!

The best tip I can give you is play with experienced players, they can give great tips. It's how I learned a lot!

What URs do you have, at any level, right now?

With that info, I will present to you a build in the class of your choice, which will destroy them. Asari like to say that.
