***Your Last Solo in One Word***

vanelsa, thanks for all the data, I’ll do my best to absorb it all.

I was on Zero, doing the map challenge (and Kett, so, perfect). Inspired by your platinum videos, I’ve started (this week) starting up platinum matches solo, figuring, why the heck not. I mean, I don’t have your guns, but I’ve got some really good stuff, better than most folks by a long shot. First few had folks showing up almost immediately, so I didn’t really get the solo “feel”.

But so far, this is great. I’d given up on platinum since every time I looked for a match, I could never find one, or maybe I’d find one guy in a lobby and after 5 minutes of the two of us sitting there, I’d give up. But now I start one up and most of the time I have a team of three or four by the end of wave 2! I just need the patience and wit to survive for a while (so far).

I’ve seen this with gold too. I don’t think I’ve ever had an open gold lobby fail to pick someone up. Sometimes they show up once wave 6 is basically done, LOL, but to really get a proper solo, I have to close the lobby. Thing is, I’m usually in sort of a rush (fairly little time to play), so it is hard to say no to help, LOL.
