Recent Game Highlights and/or Low Points

1. Power Amp III. Brought Crusader Huntress to Platinum. Joined wave 10 Condor/Cerberus (?).

Players were scattered, someone got executed, Juggernaut died a few times, and someone missiled the four target Atlases. Lame, because I probably could have killed them each with 20 seconds of undivided attention and brought the wave to a close with room to spare. Still managed 10(+) headshots lol... Host leaves?

2. Shield Cell III. Brought Javelin GI to Platinum, using AP IV ammo. Joined wave 2 Hazard White/Cerberus.

Group was OP, but that too felt lame, like hungry gnats. I recognized SortedPegasus from other Platinum games, and I like playing with them. I struggled a lot. Between my very strong teammates, overloaded and staggered enemies, snowstorm with hunter mode, teammates rushing up to enemies and strafing (excessively) across my firing path, and some lolatency, many of my shots weren't connecting and those that did were often off-target, dealing less damage than expected according to my HUD, and crediting killshots as assists. Even so, managed the 20th headshot in wave 9.

At one point, I was in back of my teammates who were directly between me and an Atlas, but of course the Atlas's missile targets me while cloaked. A short while later, I've taken cover from another Atlas that's in a doorway, the Atlas starts to turn away from me, so I get ready to fire but then the Atlas does a 360 and fires its missile at me while still looking away on my screen. So bad it was funny. Also ran past a hunter while still well within my cloak timer, but the hunter nails me with both shots without missing a beat.

I think we extracted at 19:00. I leave. I was done with my consumables for my Plat classes and wasn't going to stay regardless, simply because this wasn't fun for me.

3. Cyclonic III. Brought Human Sentinel with Paladin to Gold. I believe I joined wave 1 White/Geth.

This was an ordinary game. Lacked conscious coordination. Host was playing AIU pretty heedless of what their teammates were doing, which didn't matter too much. Someone else was playing a class with Dark Channel, kept painting themselves backward into a corner taking the side path to LZ. Other player was Krogan who seemed "slow", and I'm not sure if they got 25 kills by mission over. I could have detonated about three times as many Snap Freezes and Dark Channels than I actually had, but far be it from me to be the only person really going for synergy. Host leaves.

4. Power Efficiency III. Brought Arc Pistol Paladin to Gold. Joined wave 1 Glacier/Geth. Very easy for Paladin.

Another ordinary game. This team felt less experienced or weaker than the previous one, but the comparison might be a wash. One guy was really unaware of what was going on around him, getting flanked and dying constantly. That player didn't seem to realize wave 3 was a hack circle, completely ignored the objective, and got stomped by a Pyro right before I could intervene. The other two players, a Juggernaut and Geth Engineer I believe, were detonating my abilities what seemed a bit too often to be accidental. 50 tech combos around wave 8, ended with 10 revive medals.
