FBWGG? More than I should have. I stuck my little coward Asari Adept behind that counter for more than a few grabfests on xbox360 back in the day. I did shake the habit before long, but unfortunately picked up an even bigger crutch - infiltrators. Once I unlocked the GI, I paired a Claymore to him and started speeding up those FBWGG games by creeping up to the stairs and using some right-hand advantage to soften things up. When the TC nerf hit, I somehow thought my Shotgun Infiltrator was being unjustly persecuted. "I don't aggro dump" was my argument - how foolish I was. It wasn't until I started playing with Disciple888, Uh Cold, Magniflyer, ALTBOULI and a few others that I started to shake the habit, but it took me entirely too long. Once I switched over to PC, I started to learn how to actually handle aggro (sorta.) I seem to remember you being a good player and more importantly a good team mate 👍 Only 'cause I was lifted from scrubbery... but I still used infiltrators too much when playing with you guys.

I figure it's much more likely that any remaster will be SP only. Maybe ME3 will just have texture and QOL updates and the multiplayer will just piggyback off the existing platform, but I doubt it.

Low: 45Bblahblah dropped into my lobby with his brain-dead Saber TGI. Lower: It seems he has learned spawn nuking instead of wave 11 nuking and is now obnoxiously scorewhoring by missiling every first spawn he can get to, regardless whether the wave makes sense for it or not. I dont see a low in that, doesnt really alter yourte gamplay, just his problem mainly Pretty much. Just confirms that they prioritize score and as such, don't really know what they're doing. Yesterday, I had a pug nuke wave 10 during pizzas and hacks, dropping spawns in the most inconvenient places (low). When scorewhoring makes objective waves more interesting, I believe I'm permitted to be disappointed in said pug. They likely did this because my Eviscerator was threatening their topscore. I don't think it was malicious, just ill-informed. My only objective was getting 20HS before 25 shotgun kills (while focusing on objectives - no farming.) I find weaker weapons force me to aim more deliberately which is a good way to shake off the rust. inb4 "haha, you shouldn't need to get to w3 for 20HS" - I do. High: In those same matches, there was a pug that used weaker weapons and melee'd back when I matched his choice of Krogan. That dude really made up for the other one's stupidity.

is emochickentikka a bsner? played with them a few times and their aim absolutely puts mine to shame (not that it is particularly difficult to do) Don't feel ashamed. With a second glance you would realize that he was going full force in the gold game it probably was. Always level 4 consumables with high end kits and nuking rather easily. Good player for sure though don't get me wrong Yep, FQI+BW snoozefest - definitely not the way we roll.

Ran into burningcherry when I decided to play a quick couple of games. Didn't have much to do for obvious reasons, so I set about getting 20HS with my Pulse Rifle. 20HS and 25 AR kill medals means I'm starting to improve upon the potato-ness of my aim.

It's not exactly fun when someone shows up with the Infiltrator+BW with level 4 consumables and just smokes through everything. Aren't Phasic Ammo and SPCs better than any level 4 consumables for Gold snipers? I disagree with the very notion of "overpowered". It's ill-defined because it has an implicit assumption of some criteria, by which something is "over"powered, unspecified by default and if you want to specify them, it's gonna be something like "giving me fun" or "allowing me to have fun with something else", which is nearly as subjective as purely arbitrary. "Imbalanced", at the other hand, can be well defined and is consistent with the intuition. That being sorted out, I hardly ever play some of the imbalanced weapons (Reegar, Harrier...) because they don't meet my ergonomy requirements, or classes (geth...) for aesthetic reasons, and I reserve a stock of a few top level consumables of each type for Platinum (I play Gold by default because I feel more comfortable playing with strangers than with friends and if I am to solo Platinum objectives, I want it to be formally viable for the PHOF). But I don't lose the fun because of the power: as long as I miss one shot or spawn, there's a challenge to git gudder, same regardless of what and how I play, and the power spares me the annoyance of having to retreat. Not saying that hilarity, teh setting and complex gameplay aren't usually even more fun than pure power – my most played class is the N7 Shadow. But I don't see the fun in playing against enemies that soak your attacks like sponges for nothing extraordinary in return – in fact, this is one of the reasons I grew disappointed with MEAMP and went to check if ME3 is still alive. "Roflstomping" in a coop game is a slight misrecognition of the purpose at best and Harrier TGI is overrated. Actually, pretty sure the person in question was using Phasic III, I was just using level 4 consumables to make my point. Perhaps I wasn't clear on what I mean by overpowered. I'm not referring to any one kit (although certainly there are weapons/kits that can use some balancing), I'm referring specifically to how a player chooses to play. I don't want to get into the "kill-stealing in a co-op game" argument, but it's more stylish to work with your teammates rather than it is to steamroll. That is unless, your team is trying to steamroll – then it's fine. There's also the fine balance to be struck. If the lobby looks a little weaker I may bump up my kit a bit just to provide some ease if I need to solo some waves. However, when I run into a lobby with people using Falcons, Eagle, etc. when it's clear they have better weapons, you know I'll break out my Eviscerator/Scimitar and follow suit. Variety is why I'm still playing this game after all.

but I think they were deliberately roflstomping which is far too dull for me. I get what you mean, but a roflstomp every now and then is cathartic and good for the mind. Sure, if everyone's on board. We've got guys using weird kits, uncommon weapons, etc. It's not exactly fun when someone shows up with the Infiltrator+BW with level 4 consumables and just smokes through everything. If you're at the level, you need to self-nerf to play Gold. For example, if you're at muahmuah's level, it is impossible to self-nerf enough for Gold and he knows it.

High: Got in a few matches late last night. Found a group of players that were good, but not going full gas. It was enough that I could self-nerf and still have stuff to kill.
Low: A regular good player kept dropping in, armed to the teeth for Gold. I disengaged and admired the snoozefest that they had created. Perhaps they could find any Plat games, but I think they were deliberately roflstomping which is far too dull for me.

High: Happy to still pug into Gold matches with players that have relatively fresh manifests. Good to see people returning to the game after all this time. I do my best to just keep them alive, let them get in their shots, etc. although I still end up having to kill quite a bit. It's fun to see the players get back into form. 10 revives in a London/Collectors match but I did have help from a Krolord who only got synced once.
High: Also bumped into a player who returned some melees. They were playing a Fury pretty dang well on Dagger/Cerberus, lots of good teleports. I've played with them before, but now I'm thinking they're an alt – N7llRenegadell or some such.
Low: Wish I had more time to play.

... Low: Missed four consecutive shots on the last Nemesis of a wave ... Man, you know those are perfect for light-melee kills... True, that chain of staggers is awesome. But it's better when you get a few teammates to trap 'em in a circle of elbow-based death.

High: Between a vacation, breaking my hand and good weather, I haven't really played much. Got in a couple rounds, 20 HS in both games, including a Dagger Hazard/Claymore game which isn't easy for me.
Low: Missed four consecutive shots on the last Nemesis of a wave only to turn around and see the whole team of pugs just looking at me. The shame is real.

This has happened as long as I can remember, even on console. Enemies get stuck on that spawn point frequently. Smart players know to circle back to them at the end of the wave - one fewer enemy spawn to deal with. It's similar to the problems with Reactor when you get the "totem pole." And the stuck on Glacier stairs Praetorian ;-) A godsend, most times.
