I really love the claymore and I was thrilled when I finally unlocked it but I still can't manage to reload cancel and without that, it's simply too annoying to use. Reloading takes too much time after each and every single shot. Otherwise it's a very powerful weapon, I get that and I can imagine how awesome it will be once I get the hang of the reload cancelling deal. Not too difficult to start reload cancelling. You'll just have to hit any power button (preferrably one on a cooldown, until you learn to mix/hide reloads with powers) after firing to cancel the reload animation once the next "bullet" is loaded. Let's assume Tactical Cloak is the power. If PS3 is the same layout as xbox then it should be Triangle. At first you can look at the bottom left corner of the screen to see the "1" appear during reload, that's when you hit Triangle. It's ok to hit it late, but early will result in cancelling the reload altogether. Eventually you'll get used to the timing/animation to know the exact rhythm. I found that reload cancelling with single shot weapons in the best way to get started as it forces more practice. Play in a game and leave a nemesis alive and get to practicing! The Claymore will wait for you.

Yeah, I like it but I ain't worshipping a damn thing. The Claymore neither demands nor requires your worship. Its existence merely commands respect. ...as for those who prefer other weapons, as misguided as they are, there is no requirement for the Claymore to be your favorite. You simply must understand that the Claymore's favorite thing to do is provide extreme trauma to your enemies.

Met SenorTomate (is he on here?) in what was, for me anyway, an extremely laggy Collector/London game. We wiped, wave 10 Not that I know of, but we all see them - great player and will always melee back.

Later, during a Rio game, Inert dropped in with his Salarian Infiltrator, but he stayed only for 3 or 4 waves: what happened? Computer crashed. It was a fun game (an oddity for Rio), but that tends to be my luck. Ziodyne invited me back to his lobby, but I was a few waves into a Platinum game trying to recover the lost credits.

A PUG called me a selfish prick for cheesing the hack and sealing of one direction the enemies can come from, so the team could focus fire one way. The hack was done much faster and with no revival chains, but apparently I suck for doing that. Lesson learned I actually appreciate it when I see PUGs holding a spawn point to funnel enemies one way during hacks/extraction. I'll do it myself if I determine that either (A) My DPS is lower, so holding a spare point can assist on certain maps or ( I'm already ahead in score by a fair margin and don't mind letting the rest of the team have at it, if I think they'll survive. It's only a problem if you're blocking a spawn and the rest of the team can't deal out the punishment necessary to hold the hack for the now slightly longer time period. One technique I regularly use is to hold the back hallway on Firebase White during extraction, where one of the escorts ends. If I stay in that position, enemies are forced to spawn on the opposite side of the map from the LZ. The PUGs are then able to focus fire and it's pretty easy to hold this formation right until extraction.

I use it on my Drellguard and Smashguard, but I so rarely play on host that Vanguards are my least used class. I may not even have spec'd into Bonus Power on my current profile.
I like the Asari Vanguard having a little bit more barrier to eat a few shots while chucking grenades at spawns.

Beer mostly, occasionally a good single malt scotch. I generally prefer Islays - Bruichladdich, Ardbeg, etc.
Although I've cut back on the booze a bit. Mostly sober playing now and I've registered absolutely no improvement.

Was told by a PUG that I didn't "pick anyone up once." To be fair, I had picked up only one person so far. But it was Cerberus Condor and the PUGs had a thing for staying well out into the open.
By then end I had four revives and no one had a revive medal. End score wasn't terrible, something like Me: 160k, Pug 110k, Pug 80k, Pug 40k. Guess the poor PUG was just frustrated with the Phantoms. I would be too.

Apologies to PUGs in general.
I tend to use my equipment up pretty quickly, but I always seem to have an overabundance of Medigel. I gel immediately after kissing the floor not out of rage, but purely to burn through medigel to make JEPs more economical. This habit can leave me with less medigel during the later waves which can make carrying stressful.
There was one Plat match where a relatively new player had to use a couple of missles wave 10 because I had bled out. I took care of the first two targets, but I feel guilty about those early wave gels.

Wait a second.... what's wrong with the Falcon? It's a weaker and therefore classier and less annoying version of the Venom (The poor man's Venom). Great at applying ammo effect - Cryo Engineer is a stagger-beast.
I liked the Valkyrie ok on my Xbox profile. Found the Harrier to be a better substitute in almost all cases though. Then again, I don't have the best aim. It's the only UR I haven't unlocked after nearly 400 hours on PC.

Passable
Found out that a Human Engineer + Falcon combo works just fine on Platinum. I mean, I knew it would work, just didn't think I could do it.

I've landed in their lobby dozens of times, all with the same result. One time he bailed about two seconds slower than usual - I figure it was an off day.

On host phantoms are the biggest pain unless you have a good stagger-stick, "ground grenades" or Dark Channel. The latter still requires you to find a path outside of their stupid palm-blasters.
Just caught a quick couple of games with tjbearpig. Thanks for showing the difference between good aim with the Arc Pistol and passable aim with it. Tali/Garrus tore the rippas a new one.

Keep ending up in DarthVolus' lobby - unfortunately not much left to kill with him around so you have to resort to some ridiculousness. Tempted fate with Scions a little much as my KroSent, but it was worth it. That final 20 second hold of Reactor's LZ was pretty intense. Aw, c'mon you got plenty of stuff to kill Mwrahahah! You even outdid a Talon GI I was in it for the headbutts, not the score. The Talon GI was probably wondering where all the enemies were at too - I cheated and used my turret to point my FQE in the right direction.

Vormav dropped into a game in progress, saw me try to melee a praetorian with my FQI. I tried to Krogan up with him in the next game, but unfortunately hit "B" right as the host quit. I refuse to blame the controller mod. This is the hosts' fault. Agreed. Always fun to run melee vs Collectors. I figure Krogans use the radiation bath from killing abombs to clean themselves. That's how radiation works, right? Right? Right. As such, I appreciate you allowing for a slight delay before bath time to avoid splashing my FQI.

Ran into budhalen in a modded game where some low n7 was hosting (faction was Original Cerberus , looked like, and enemy HP values were gimped - I counted six carnifex shots to down an atlas. Carnifex ain't that good) hence why I got bored and left after about six waves. No goons, no bang. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Six waves? Felt like we ditched sooner. I'm pretty sure that Piranha downed an Atlas in 2 fuggin' shots. What a lame thing to bring into public lobbies. Sounds like a l0unny match - hate landing in their games.

I'm playing as some squishier kits on PC, but haven't stopped my spawn rushing style.
Turns out the higher frame rate on PC (I refuse to cap at 30) and a low-fitness Quarian Engineer means that I find myself becoming good friends with the dirt too often.
I apologize in advance for ruining every 3/5/10 Waves survived medal.
