I'm running into a lot of good gold players whose names I don't recognize. I think ME3 is far from dead. Started a U/U/G game, and no one showed up til wave 3. That Jugg was gone by wave 4, when a destroyer showed up. We duo'd to extraction. Long game, but classic. A Drell popped in about 90 secs before extraction LOL. Which platform? PC

Don't knock it - you got more points than anyone else. Were there four of you? What about the poor guy whose points you snaffled?

In a word, lonely. I did a U/U/S to try out a new kit: tursol with revenant/talon, only lvl I stuff, just to get used to it. Got Ghost/Geth, but no one showed up. The lardass Turian lumbered around so slowly, and Ghost has so many enemy crossfires, and geth has so many staggers, that slowly I ran out of gels by wave 8.
I know the objectives are harder in public solos, because only 1 player doing the job, but it does seem public solos are harder than private solos. Can't put my finger on why, but I rarely extract when I host a public silver game and no one shows up. One thing is because I don't equip much stuff for silver, and I'm trying out new kits. But still, it seems harder.

KroganSaviour I really ought to know better than to start Gold games with incomplete lobbies full of newbies. U/Reapers/G gave us Reactor. My Raider QFI was accompanied by a standard-issue puggernaut and a fresh-out-of-basic-training Quarksman packing a Valkyrie (a perfectly good setup actually, but the player didn't have the experience to pull it off). Also, they didn't know how to do the wave 3 escort objective. Thank the Ancestors that Commander Shepard cured the genophage and secured krogan support, because a jolly competent Lancer Krosol appeared during wave 3, did the objective with me, then proceeded to kill lots of things with great aplomb and we ensured full extraction between us. Someone buy him a ryncol, he more than earned it. Tke Krosol player was Spel_Danne, don't think they're a member here although they certainly played like a BSNer.

I played a few matches with Spel_Danne the other night. Quite adequate as pugs go. Perhaps one of us should invite them here.

Profitable Pugged into a guy who used a mic and was gud so I got on mine and we played a couple of gold with randoms. Then the host left/dced and I lost my connection. He started a lobby, invited me back, got in a friend and we did some platinums which were all successful apart from the last one where, phantoms had obviously had enough of our bullshit and took their revenge So not only did i get a lot of gold upgrades, i got me a new bod to play with

Jackpot!
Had just about every pug cliche you could think of in one game.
• over-the-shoulder flamer • ignoring objectives • ignoring downed teammates • splash damage • rotating parade of 4th players who couldn't stay up for 30 seconds • 11th wave missile frenzy (no killstreaks)
Edit: a word, also forgot to mention • rubber band deaths

Bumped into a good teammate of mine, Lvca_gr. The team was great, no Reegars and shit, totally Plat worthy. A freakin' BF3 (Lvca), a Human Infiltrator (an old veteran) and a Human Engineer. Through teamwork, support and heavy Claymoar fire (there were 3 of them), we did quickly turn the Geth to scrap metal. LolPrimes. What a laugh. I thought I was recording the game, but I pressed the wrong button. All I have is this stupid pic of me getting staggered.

I got this one from our first game And this one from the second, which is the one you're mentioning. Ironically, I did better with the GPR GE than the BF3 soldier (or so I felt). I keep trying to make the no fitness disruptor claymore work to my expectations and failing. Might have to accept it's better with something like the crusader . It was really fun though , a pity the fourth player didn't join the Claymore madness.

Tried a pug today. And still not quite ready to play again. But also a new problem came up. My match got cut shorty during wave 6 objective. Hard shutdown. It's my power supply fan not working as intended, overheating and shutting down to protect itself... kinda like pugs.

Thumbs-up Landed in an SI's lobby. I had a premature knee-jerk reaction until I quickly realized: - We were NOT preset to Hydra
- We were NOT preset to Geth
- SI was NOT using a Black Widow
Instead of a BW, the SI host was sporting one of these babies, with a scope, HB, & drill ammo: Thank you PUG host SI. I'll gladly let you kill-steal from half the map away with that fine chap.

Well, I got Bansheed on a staircase, so that should give you a clue about how well it went...
Melee Krentinel on London/Reapers/Gold. With a VERY obsessive sub-net spamming Batarian, and an Asari of some sort who loved stasis. Both of which block the Krogan melee from locking onto his target. And an invisible fourth player. Pretty sure I heard a few shockwaves while that Batarian was no-where near, so that should narrow down the options a bit I guess. It was a successful match, no thanks to me and my constant HMing around my targets.

Showoffs
Velaut, myself, and unixhound all wound up in the same game. It's hard to describe the match exactly but just imagine the ME3MP equivalent of Hungry Hungry Hippos. There was a fourth player, but they got to basically stand around and watch us hog all the kills in a shameless race for points. I came in at a close second, but sadly didn't get a chance to pull out one of my better kits for a rematch, Velaut went splitski right afterwards.

We did have one, but he was the pug wandering around without anything to kill. Hazard White/Cerberus/Gold, with a Justicar, a Talon Merc, and (I think?) a MQE, with the pug bringing a Krogan Sentinel. I was about 14k from 1st, I blame bad spawns, half the time I just couldn't figure out where the enemies were. Great game though, 10/10 would scorewhore again.

DC-ed? Playing on the Eggsbox 3.60, I decide to go all cheesy, so I take my Flamer GT to a walk on the sunny Surkesh, to kill me some golden rippaz... Going public, nobody came in 5 min... So I start and wait to see what happens. I solo w1 without any problems and on w2 I get two EDIs . It went as well as expected, w3 targets I kill the first banshee without missiles and they missile anything that moves. Unfortunately I don't have a mic on this console so I can't tell them to save their missiles for later waves. I get the first killstreak at the end of w5, w6 hack again they missile, comes w8 I get the second killstreak and they finally get the third. Somehow after they both manage to get grabbed and it's up to yours truly to finish more than half of the wave alone. I use another two bombs and another in w9 to save one of them. Down to 1 missile, it's wave 10 and it's time for pizza... They manage to do the first but one of them gets grabbed in the process... I manage to deliver the second pizza, but in the meantime the second pug gets Bansheed, so again I solo . I've no missiles left so it takes a little longer, but one of them leaves the mission ( ?) when I was only left with the two Banshees, one of them hanging by a thread. I finish the wave, on extraction I can't save the last pug who gets grabbed right in front of me but somehow I manage a Lone Survival... I have to admit it's a new one for me: to see someone leave the mission on w10, almost at the end, giving up all the credits you've worked so hard to get. DC-ed?

Disconnection is one explanation; sheer embarrassment or pure rage is another. Shame I can't reassure the players that there's no need for embarrassment, everyone gets grabbed sometimes, the rest of us have their back etc.

Unkrogan. I pugged two matches with the same host and one other random, and a 4th that varied. Host was krogan vanguard and preset to glacier geth gold. My FQE + valiant did ok even though the talon merc on the team kept dying. We had a revivathon that meant as the clock counted down to zero we were all out of gels mashing furiously. But it was funny so i didn't care. Second match i switch to krogan soldier for some in between wave headbutting. But kroguard doesn't play. I was a sad krogan I left afterwards, my daily dose of two matches, complete, even if unfulfilling.
