Joined a lobby preset to Geth/White/Gold.
The match starts and 2 of the team immediately hunker down in EZ and don't budge except for objective waves.
It made me feel quite nostalgic for the bad old days so I decided to join them in their turtling.
Host spite-quit on wave 10 after objectives (in fairness to the lad, I was taking the piss out of him a lot on text chat).
The other guy stuck around and actually moved around a bit on Wave 11!
Another odd game in a series with peeps dusting off their Shurikens and getting back into ME3MP.

Ran into Ramius and Monalisa again, had 2 kick votes next to my name before I had even loaded into the lobby. The 3rd guy didn't kick so played the round, Ramius was using lots of missiles to make sure he got top spot, all while yelling at the other pug for standing in front of him! After the round, Ramius leaves, I get lobby host and Monalisa stays, we each place a vote kick on each other sitting there for a couple mins. Then she yells "You have no life, FUCK OFF!" and leaves. They really hate me for some reason. Dunno why, only every recall playing with them 2 or 3 times. Love playing with them though, just hearing them get upset puts a smile on my face.

Rubber. Last quick match put my Vorcha Hunter into a GiP with some rubber-banding even when not sprinting. Strangely enough, Incinerate and Submission Net mostly did stick to the enemy, so I decided to stay around. Changed my mind when my character got the running-in-place bug. Anyone know if there's a way to get rid of that strange bug or is it simply an off-host lag issue? EDIT: XCPTNL - was that by any chance your lobby? I think I saw you in there, if my memory doesn't leave me. As I said, I would've gladly stayed if not for that running bug

Crutches
Two TGIs and a Geth Trooper. They were terrible, didn't do objectives, went down at least three times a wave each and bled out across the map during objectives. One TGI had a Particle Rifle VII and was of some use during devices on wave 6. The missiles went nuts of waves 10 and 11 too, second place on the scoreboard was 100k under my FQE.
The pugs used their crutches, so I used mine - the Arc Pistol. may as well call that gun Frank's Red Hot.
I've been trying to play with more varied weapons and kits to combat the crutchiness of my play and this match exemplified why you should definitely aim to do so. You'll never be truly good if you favor one build/weapon, etc. It's a good idea for a thread though - crutch history.

You'll never be truly good if you favor one build/weapon, etc. It's a good idea for a thread though - crutch history. This is why I often use a randomizer. The sometimes painful setups I end up with have taught me a lot about how to get better - when you have to clutch a few waves of Gold/Cerberus/HazDagger with a Revenant Shadow, or Reapers with a Shuriken AV, you better be paying attention to what you are doing! Plus it occasionally has found awesome character/weapon combos that I didn't think would work very well, but turned out great.

Revive Collectors/Rio/Gold You know you're in for a good one when the host (Lv 13 Krogan Soldier, Predator II, Batglove) insta-readies when you join the lobby. I decided to wait for at least one more to join before I readied. The same guy joined and left at least 5 times, and then joined us once more after the game started. It actually went disturbingly well, up until the wave 10 LZ hack. The enemies just kept spawning behind the crates on the LZ side over and over, and we were getting destroyed by multiple Prateorian lasers forcing us into cover, and Cluster grenades forcing us out, all while running in circles trying to avoid the possessed abominations in our midst. I was very glad I was playing a BatSent so I could decapitate them with melee - assuming that someone else (or my blade armor) didn't blow them up mid falcon-punch. Was there just a sale on ME3 or something? All the gold lobbies tonight are full of people sub N7120 with level 1 rare weapons.

@ronik82 it's possible but I don't quite remember. Most of the time I don't host though when playing PUGs even though I have a good connection. I just want to get into a game quickly so I just press "join game". I might have been in that game though or it even might have been my lobby.

Crutchless.
Just had a nightmare of a game with totally clueless people. By the end of wave 4 I was 50k ahead of the next one in the list and decided to call it quits right there - wasn't in the mood of soloing Gold Collectors with an Asari Huntress, so I just bled out voluntarily. The rest of the team had already done so at that point, so I thought why not join them?

Suspicious
Joined a lobby hosted by a Juggernaut. He readied up with just him and me. I readied up and we started.
We got 2 pugs to join on Wave 1. Speaking of Wave 1, it seemed awfully long. I mean like x3 or even x4 as long as it should have been. Well it was Dagger Hazard, the 2nd device on Wave 3 was down in the open field, a pug tried to facetank the device with Centurians coming down the ramp. That didn't work out too well for him. I killed the enemies, revived him, but more spawned around the corner and took me down right when I finished.
That's when the revive console command came from the Jug host.
While I appreciate that he viewed me as the MVP of the match, I wasn't going to stick around to help this cheater. If I'm gonna mod a game, it's to make it more challenging, not less.

Buttmad
I dropped into a lobby with a guy wearing a Valiant, and a preset Hydra map. Hmm, nope. I left.
Tried again, landed into the same lobby, only now it was full, and everyone else was ready. So I texted to him:
"Okay, we will try this" "If you are wall glitch camping" "Then I will end it"
Well I got my 10 Headshot medal on Wave 2, and was on my way to the 20, and had a good 5k lead on the scoreboard. Wave 3 was a hack, and the host was off trying vainly to catch me. I texted him:
"The hack is over here, dummy"
Wave 3 ended, he was still in 2nd place, he quit. Migration in process, please wait...
I stuck through, as did everyone else. My Incendiary Ammo was gone. I informed the team that I seemed to have lost my equipment, but I had a good feeling about these guys, and I stuck around. Usually I'll leave if I lose equip, but since I stayed this time, I actually noticed I was still getting Fire Explosions, indicating that the loss of equip is visual effect only. That's good to know.
We finished the match in 16 minutes. Everyone stuck around for another. We got Hazard Reactor/Reapers, and it went pretty smoothly. I thanked everyone for flying Kirrahe Airlines, then went to go make a sandwich.

VetME3gamerPS3 law; you set it to U/U/P and land on Ghost Hazard, you're going to get Collectors. Yours truly was the host of that match with a Graal TSent (got to stay classy). The frames were getting to me, what with having to aim and all, so I clean up most of wave 7, wait for wave 8 start and tell the guys "I'll be back." I don't reset PS3 as mem leak wasn't that bad, but off host the frames are always better. But instead of ending back where I left off, I end up in a new lobby preset to Ghost Hazard/Collectors/Platinum by some dude named VetME3gamer. Clearly a single player name, because no VetME3gamer on PS3 in their right mind would choose that preset. Sadly I never found those pug I left off. Maybe someone else took my spot. Or maybe they all quit, because pugs don't need the credits. One of ME3mp's life mysteries.

Played my first PUG in about four years. It was...painless. It was only Silver as I don't have the manifest on PC to PUG gold yet. I rolled a human engy and another player switched to Paladin. We face rolled the geth. I'm afraid to play another match against geth, they are probably waiting to get revenge on me for having such an easy match.

PublicGodMode
Dropped into GiP which was Rio/Zombie Mod/Gold. I don't mind some modded games, but when a pug got grabbed by a full Armor/full Barrier Banshee, and the host killed the Banshee with one cast of Incinerate, I knew something was wrong.
I checked the scoreboard. Wave 3 had just ended, and they had over 110k score. I started following them around. They knew I was onto them, too, since there was a huge spawn in front of them, and they just kinda plinked away with their Mattock. Two Scions were in the back of that spawn, and the host was just kinda hobbling around facetanking.
4 Possessed Aboms came up from behind, so I blew them all up, as they were literally right on top of him. His character didn't go down; didn't even say their shields were down. So not only was this public zombie mod, they were also invincible.
That's just extra retarded, and you're extra retarded. Git gud scurb.

Decided to try Assassin again. Took me a while to catch up with the sniping but I eventually caught a couple. The team was quite OK only minor hickups in that geth hydra match.
Vancouver Reaper gave me more to do for der money. Some imbalance in killspeed with a meleenaut trying to facetank all der Banshees. So what, he kept them in place for me to shoot their heads.

Aggravating Did a couple of PUG matches last night since Origin was being a troll and the Friends list was down. I got matched with possibly the worst teams ever and tried to carry both games myself the best I could. I finally ragequit the last game when the other three were camping on top of one another and hiding while I was trying to do objectives on wave6. I finally called it a night after.

OP I was running my HE with Carnifex again for old times' sake, and a host migration left me in charge in a duo on Goddess against Reapers, with SackedJedi joining me and a Bug as a Human Infiltrator with BW on wave 6. That made things much simpler, though we did struggle just a little with a central device location, eventually going for the brute force approach, and the same with the wave 10 central hack. He stuck around and oldblank arrived as a Justicar, along with a complete noob. There must have been more than half a million CP in the lobby, and with Jedi switching to a Drell Adept we came home sub-20 on White Hazard against Geth. Maybe the first time I've ever outscored Jedi, with poor oldblank resorting to spawn-nuking to try to keep up. Again, we had a couple of tricky device placements on wave 6, but I never thought we were in trouble, although the noob (who stayed alive for the most part) headed to the EZ a bit too early so us all getting out alive was a bit of a lottery, but we did.

Legit. The dumb thing about that is, it's really not good. The SMG Heat Sink only really shines on weapons that have a decent capacity to begin with. A 45% chance to not use the clip on a gun that only has 3 shots in the clip, you're still going to reload every 3-5 shots, and it's unreliable, unpredictable, and a waste of space. The smart option would be the concrete 80% mag extension. Even putting this on the Harrier sucks, because you are giving up the mag extension for it, unless you keep it and give up your piercing/damage barrel instead, which also sucks. Finnally, I'm betting that player also sucks, and that match sucked too. God I'm starting to sound like Limbs.
