The real reason I don`t play Platinum regularly for both MEAMP & ME3MP is because I simply hate fighting enemies of mixed factions.
It`s not about PuG, lag, balance difficulty or challenge..
I think it`s still about immersion and lore. I also like preparing my character to specialize for certain factions.. because it kinda stops me from simply taking out the biggest gun.
I just don`t find it amusing all 3 factions trying to kill us.. when they are clearly enemies to each other in the story. (FYI, Kett briefly acquired a mean to control Remnant at the end of the game. No faction join force for any large scale or prolonged time)
When they first announced platinum difficulty, I really hoped that they still stick to making each faction harder instead of combining them.
I should have known that current BW is not inspiring or original enough to take new direction from ME3MP. ME3MP made more sense.. because in the end reapers could own both geth and cerberus while retreat/extraction was necessity due to the fact every battle was for the war we were losing.
MEAMP blindly trying to follow these formats is a lackluster.
Platinum could have been upgraded challenge for each faction while mixed faction can be used for Diamond. lol
Just my personal opinion. I am very well aware that most people prefer mixed factions if they care about it at all.

Unfortunately Bioware is very lazy. Otherwise they'd have added an editor so we could create our own setups. So instead of having to fight a lot of heavy hitters and boss units we could create a game with A LOT of grunt units for a change. Not possible on potato platforms like consoles and weak PCs but no problem on good PCs and it can be challenging and fun just like some of the nice ME3MP mods.
I don't like platinum either for the same reason. Sometimes mixed factions are fun but more often I wish I could just fight one faction but on a higher difficulty setting than gold.

Honestly - making mixed factions for Platinum is beyond my understanding of good game as well. BW chooses the cheesiest, laziest and cheepest way to add new content over and over again - all this "S weapons", "weapon variants" and so fucking on stuff .... "mixed factions" also perfectly fits there.

Removal of faction variety leads to the inevitable consequence that every game now plays and feels the same. Unless you find elite players it's exacerbated by almost every lobby basically the same group of 3 characters, equipped with the same handful of guns. It's really lacking the same variety and spark that ME3MP had and that's reflected in the numbers.

There are some things that remain the same albeit significantly worse. ME3MP had that problem to an extent with crutch characters on plat (GT + Acolyte, EDI + Claymore, GI + Geth Plasma, TGIs + Harrier, JUGs) but MEAMP is way worse. It's literally about 90% Avengers with Hurricanes/Dhans which gets old really fast.

Who for the love of that this is good and holy in the ME universe forgot to pack a few Acolytes?
Or is that on the same Arc that is transporting the Volus and Drell?
(a cynic would point out the Acolyte worked really well and that it did not fit well with what the devs had planned for MEAMP)

To answer the title of the thread, yes. And, it is also the reason I don't play platinum regularly.

It would be cool to have the Roekar (or whatever they're called) as a platinum faction with only modified Outlaw units.

I wouldn't mind a clean, single faction version of platinum if for no other reason than just to not have to fight god-mode berserkers all the time.

They'll be easier in a few months because my guns will be a lot better.
At this point I've been playing 1st or 3rd person shooters for, oh, 25 years. I'm not going to get a lot better in a few months... 😉

You're not getting that much better at shooters in general, but you are getting better at this specific shooter and dealing with its specific enemies.
(Plus, yes, also your stuff will be better if you keep grinding.)

I'm not going to get a lot better in a few months... 😉 If you've played shooters that long, I take it you've played a lot more PVP shooters. And in that case your aren't getting any better, due to MEAMP bot simplicity, you'r getting worse... Most of the "elite" as people call them in MEAMP are players who've put work in playing pvp shooters before. I kill bots the same way I'd kill other players, before they even know I was shooting them they are dead.
