Link is wrong.
And how I managed to not recognize this series entirely is beyond my grasp.
man, that was fast, i thought nobody clicked those damn screenies  , i ll fix that from home What do you mean by "not recognize"? U think u knew it and should have recognize the challenges ? or is that more a reconnaissance/read stuff
Insert "I don't always ..."-meme here.
I simply didn't know the series exists. Can't remember anyone submitting to it. I should click through the challenge side more carefully.
Also link is still wrong. Go home now.

Capn233's Operation Alliance troopers solo serie on gold (main rule is no geth scanner)
Mission 6 - Angel of DeathLocation: Noveria (White Hazard) Enemy: Cerberus Parameters: Human Infiltrator with Avenger and Suppressor. 75 Pistol Kills and 20 Headshots Required.
I needed sub 35:25 !! that s a fun one, stickies being very good against bubbled phantoms. but a bit tedious on atlas waves.
I thought i would be submitting at least mission 11 or 10, but i got banged again on W7 cerb jade (this is a special one), and managed a very nice run on condor vs collecturs with DA talon novaguard. But failed a couple tek kills ...

Capn233's Operation Alliance troopers solo serie on gold (main rule is no geth scanner) Mission 10 – Fists of FuryLocation: Sur’Kesh (Jade) Enemy: Cerberus Parameters: Human Adept with Wraith or Falcon. 25 Melee Kills and 50 biotic kills required. 41:56 - Alfonsedode (275252 pts)man that one was hard... i had many tries. Started fancy and going for 50 melee kills, and full biotic, and progressively added ops packs and fitness and just tried to stay alive all time . Some waves are incredibly tough without geth scanner ! Always flanked, always ending up in a turret. Never saw as many turrets as W7 on jade... And nemesis on that map ... Mission 11 – Hybrid Synergy Location: Menae (Condor) Enemy: Collectors Parameters: Human Vanguard with Talon. 25 Tech Kills and 25 Biotic Kills Required. 44:02 - Alfonsedode (216725 pts)i thought i would get the 25 tek kills without having to grind, just trying to TB each talon shot, well ... no . Mission 12 is Hsol with dakadaka and 10 ws on london reapa. i forsee some ravagers ...

Capn233's Operation Alliance troopers solo serie on gold Mission 12 – Reap the WhirlwindLocation: London Enemy: Reapers Parameters: Human Soldier with Typhoon. 10 Waves Survived Required. 40:40 - Alfonsedode (251288 pts)that was pretty straightforward or i got lucky (yeah that ops finally kicking in after 5 calls might be called luck?). I went inci rounds routes, not sure it was a good idea, but it was fun to burn reapa to hell. Shoot mouse button is dying which is a pita with typhoon. A tough serie with fun moments ! Dear updaters, i tried to complete all side challenges and think i did !

N7 Challenge Series - HardcoreN5.I Bray-Fist28:09 - SenorZanahoria (265 158 pts) [v]Devices/Objects/Escort N5.II Kill Them!30:18 - SenorZanahoria (295 390 pts) [v]Hack/Escort/Objects N5.III Retake Omega Part 3 - The Intangible is Unstoppable40:56 - SenorZanahoria (255 928 pts) [v]Targets/Devices/Devices Since I have/had a couple of free days I felt the itch to come back to the series. With some motivation from muahmuah and Sonashii , I got through N5 even quicker than expected. Just so everybody knows: I was promised a regular Glacier run if I managed N5.III yesterday, Thunderdome if I failed and London/Geth if I hid, all of that with muah. So I did it, yet I had to go through a Thunderdome and didn't get my Glacier run  Jokes aside, it was still fun! Bray-fist was relatively easy, I think I actually did it on my first try, doesn't happen very often to me  Kill them was another thing though, had a couple of fails, until I figured out it's much easier when I'm not standing still ALL the time.  But another fun challenge imo, I like the Hunter and the Executioner Pistol is a fun weapon. The last one turned out to be more difficult than first expected. Mostly because it took me some time to realize I should go for grabs and then some more time to figure out how to grab on Goddess... But when I had that figured out, it worked out. I had another run, where I got 20 headshots in wave 1, too bad I scrubbed it up afterwards.  Nonetheless and despite the sort of long time, I'm proud of this run. First I failed to switch targets which is nothing to be proud of, I know, but I think the missile wasn't placed that bad and should've killed that Atlas. That meant 4 more Atlas in wave 3 and they took their time to take out. Then devices for waves 6 and 10 with some real bad placements. Also I found out that you can disable one of the devices through the wall in wave 6 and forgot about it in wave 10...  Another N-rank achieved  N6 and N7 will take me a lot of time and patience though

Don't let my bitching and complaining fool you because N6.I and N6.II are fun and Ash isn't hard, just frustrating. My dumb play at times is dumb and that's why I fail most of my attempts; some would call it beer muscles, but I know better. I'm still annoyed at that after 0:00 fail because N7.I could be done and I should be bitching about N7.II and Ariake. Coulda, shoulda, woulda... |

Operation Alliance TroopersThose are quite tough and they take forever. Some are fun tho. I need my crutch scanner.
Mission 2 and 3 took way more attempts than I'd like to admit. ah, tha s not just me  . On paper 2 is easy, but ... no and 3 should be ok too with HA, but goddess makes it tricky.

I had countless W1/W2 ragequits and a couple painfull W10/W11 fails. 2 is just Cerb beeing Cerb and 3 was mostly running around Goddess trying to avoid crossfire. But both may be easier than 10 an 11 for me at least.

I am looking to redo some of the N7 challenges; some of my times are downright embarrassing. Which is a good motivator to get back to a disciplined training regimen, since this game does not contribute to a healthy blood pressure.
Case in point, I experimented with different loadouts and got it done 4 or 5 times, each around 36:30 min. I knew I could shave 10 minutes off my previous time, instead of 9 or 9 and a half, so I tried again today. Got Escort and Hack on waves 3 and 6, and the perfect spawns and enemy movement on the nuking waves. 3 nukes on wave 5 for a 3 killstreaks medal, then 2 on 8 and 2 on 9, which made those last 2 waves go by so fast that I started wondering whether the game had not bugged out. Naturally, come wave 10 , I get Targets. Nuked the first one, started working on the second one, and then a rocket from the other Atlas staggered me right into the loving embrace of a Banshee, which was two teleports away... I was making such a good time, I could've gone sub 32 min with that one.  
Of course, next time I get devices twice and spawns and respawns spread all over the place. So here it is, and I'm done with this, since the Sexbot is one of the kits I hate with passion.

Operation Alliance TroopersMission 4 - A Bug's Life:30:52 - frank_is_crank [v] That is an interesting one. I tried to do the fancy Tech Armor-detonation stuff to get the 25 tech kills, but I'm just a scrub and failed. Back to cheese and I got it on the second try after another painful W10 crabgrab.
Mission 5 - Boom Stick: This one is pure Claymore joy. Maybe I'll redo some time with Warp Ammo to stop Banshees faster. Or some elemental ammo to detonate.

Mission 4 - A Bug's Life:/b]30:52 - frank_is_crank [v] Nice W10 devices ! Yeah, and W6 Targets. Those coward troopers always hide behind their big buddies. I had an attempt for Mission 7 where I finally cornered the Target Trooper after wasting lots of consumables. He simply rocked jumped up into one of the tubes of Ghost. I chose to light melee the double Crab until fission mailed.

It's already been some time since all this happened, but Balbock and I teamed up with our lovely resident carrot SenorZanahoria to do some trio challenges for... Project Blackwatch - Trio Missions (Hardcore)l. Decibel 20:46 - Balbock | fraggle [v] | SenorZanahoriaTargets / Delivery / Escort We might have to redo this one, because none of us knew whether the Adas TSol with Incendiary Ammo counts as Incendiary glitch... Can anyone in here help us figure this out? In case it's considered as the glitch, we'll gladly redo this challenge. Other than that this was a rather relaxing match in London vs. Toasters, apart from one of the objective waves  ll. Silenced Banshees 24:00 - Balbock | fraggle [v] | SenorZanahoriaDevices / Devices / Devices (no comment...)We did this challenge twice because we didn't meet the requirements in the first try. Also, Senor got hugged twice in the first game, and he made a better figure in the 2nd - and no one will ever know what happened before. ... Oops   lll. Anti-gravity 18:59 - Balbock | fraggle [v] | SenorZanahoriaDelivery / Escort / Targets Nothing to say here, really... everything just died quickly thanks to Baibai's and Senor's fast headshotting and skills. Nicely done and we won. That's... everything somehow. Apart maybe from Bai and me spectacularly not making it to the EZ in time...  Sorry, got cornered there at the end...Thank you guys, had a blast with you in those trios, and who knows, maybe there are more to come. I'd totally be up for it |

In case it's considered as the glitch, we'll gladly redo this challenge. I would say the rule does not aply for TSol. It is meant for charakters with DoT powers like Warp, Incinerate or Inferno nades that act unnaturally in combination with IA. Otherwise you couldn't use Incendiary ammo at all since it is bugged on it's own.

doh, Smehur: I hope I'm tagging the right persons. If I'm not mistaken, there's a mistake in the order of the HoF for N6.I (gold). Around the 34 minutes mark, DJ39H should be two spots higher, I think? [...] Don't let my bitching and complaining fool you because N6.I and N6.II are fun and Ash isn't hard, just frustrating. [...] I guess you were right, especially about Ash being frustrating. N7 Challenge Series - HardcoreN6.I Garrus' Calibrations Part 2 - Archangel41:41 - SenorZanahoria (261 206 pts) [v]Escort/Targets/Hack N6.II Next of Kin34:32 - SenorZanahoria (214 936 pts) [v]Objects/Targets/Targets N6.III Ash36:17 - SenorZanahoria (257 580 pts) [v]Objects/Hack/Escort I've been looking forward to Archangel for quite some time. Love the kit and weapon, sadly it took me a bit long. Check out that cleanup missile on wave 10 in Next of Kin! Despite that, it's a manageable challenge, even though Collectors can ruin the fun quite fast with their swarms/plagues and Captains. And then there was Ash...  I tried really hard one day, because I did the first two challenges on the same day and I thought it'd be cool if I'd manage Ash as well. Well, it didn't work, but I got a feeling for the challenge. For all my tries I used about 50 Disrupter Ammo 4 rounds, many of them lost in wave 1 ragequits after dying like a pro, trying to go for grabs, or enemies blocking each other so I couldn't grab them  Biggest problems for me, were getting to wave 2, surviving wave 4 and not messing up everything on wave 7 with all those Combat Engineers / Turrets  , also Devices of course. I had one extraction wave fail, because one stupid decision, and I think two/three wave 10 (one post-objective) fails, all the other attempts ended MUCH earlier. After a break of a few days to prevent more rage , it went by fairly smoothly.

N7 Insanity
N2.I Resolve of the Shadowbroker29:49 - x3lander (370 545 pts)I did some runs with Disruptor ammo first, but the best was 31 minutes (admittedly with w10 devices) and this one was with AP and got sub 30, which is what I wanted. Disruptor is excellent crowd control with short cooldown detonators like Throw or Concussive Shot. The problem is, AP kills Atlases faster, and Atlases tend to push you out of the corners of win, thereby mucking up spawning points and respectively enemy getting funneled toward your killing field. I would recommend trying Disruptor first for someone who is new to Plat soloing, especially for the goon rush and/or Banshee waves. Gameplay on this one was shitty, spawns on wave 5 were abysmal (always in the back) and I lost 3 gels in quick succession there, but meh, whatever, done is done. Enough with White/Derperus shenanigans. This map can be quite frustrating if you go for time, since you know it can go really fast, but only with the appropriate spawns throughout the waves. I might do some relaxation on Cyone with the braindead Turian next, we'll see. At least I'll have it done, and only the fat disgusting Ariake ball on N7 will be left as far as distasteful kits go.

I took really bad habits vanguarding with you holding my back, felt indestructible on goddess . But it seems that wasnt really efficient killing as we are pretty slow on that one, maybe only for objectives reasons or cause you had to watch my back a bit too much ? |

Tales from the Trenches Week 4:Sur'KeshI. Metal Geth Salarian (Snake? Snake!? Snaaaaaaake!)21:01 - Alfonsedode | frank_is_crank [v]We did the next one as well, but I fucked it up twice. On the first try I texted Alfonse to kill streak and he went to town with his missile launcher - only to realize it's Wave 9 where you aren't allowed to nuke. The second one we extracted - only to realize I had one medal less than Alfonse. I simply forgot to get the 25 Pistol kills. Whatever, it's a fun one. We'll redo in the next few days. Weekly Themed Solos 1
Week 20: Garrus' Calibrations Part 1 - C-Sec
Insanity
38:38 - frank_is_crank (274220 pts) 10 WS [v]
I was very lucky on that one. Wave 9 Primes derped and stayed both inside the bunker near the LZ for most of the wave. In combination with extremly good objectives that was fairly easy - even for me. I'm just glad you don't need to get the 20 HS with the first 20 Shots fired...

, i ll fix that from home
Jokes aside, 
But another fun challenge imo, I like the Hunter and the Executioner Pistol is a fun weapon.
N6 and N7 will take me a lot of time and patience though
