100% spot on. Everybody just want to feel that space operatic grandeur of power fantasy, wiping butt-ugly aliens with space magic and hailstorm of bullets. Be it Reegar AIU, Harrier TGI, Hurricane TS (in fact this "OP / not suitable list" coud possibly include half of the kits)... I mean I do roll my eyes, seeing smn (and often bsn members) sporting these kind of kits, but I would never enforce my own preconceptions on them. In the end, it's just a game, non-pvp, non-ranked, nothing really at stake except hurt pride. At least it makes for a funny match, trying to outscore them with e.g. avenger. I say, please less patronizing and moar power to the people! And that is what I mean. If OP kits make their game fun, they're wrong. Yes, players can absolutely play however they want, but that leaves us free to judge them however we want. I prefer style to speed and will respect a Disciple Melee AIU over a Reegar AIU. Mind you I have no illusions over how much my opinion matters to others, but that doesn't make it any less fun to discuss and rib on about. I cannot admit to running the AIU Reegar, ever. That's just gross. However, I do use all the OP. Just not all the time, or "balanced" by some other factor. I use the Reegar a lot. With my level 1 KroGuard. It is fucking terrible I know, as I almost always top score with this combo and AP ammo, but I don't really care. It's my game too. Then, I really like the Wraith with the Drell Adept, and I really like Grenades and my 63656. That is about as OP as you get in this game, and god damn is it fun! And I know how you judge me, or at least used to The problem is, the player is more OP than the possibility of kit/weapon. You are proof. When that is the case, I don't feel too bad about playing all the things... I'm just awesome and stuff, why deny myself more awesome?

space dildo infil with jav Pfft, Piranha GI is best GI. I may have PUGged Silver with it with my wife the other day. And I may have gotten super lucky with Glacier/Cerberus, and the PUGs MAY have been bored (between my Piranha GI and wife's Lift Grenading KroSent). It was about 13-14mins.

Unexpected: Hosted an U/U/G game which kicked off with me (playing a N7 Paladin) and two PUGs (one was a Drell, I forget the other) on Giant Vs Geth. There must've been a problem with my host as the two PUGs had bailed by the end of wave one. What to do? - I was neither kitted for nor expecting [what turned out to be tantamount to] a Gold solo. Well, I got to W9 and was hoping (more like praying, truth be told) a PUG would drop in because I was down to one rocket, one MediGel and a couple of Ops Packs. And luckily a TGI, replete with OP Harrier set-up, arrived to take some of the heat. Things went surprisingly smoothly during W10, got devices, which were disarmed in good time as, on this occasion, they spawned perfectly position-wise. Wrapped W10 with my last missile and Killstreak No.3, which was nice . When the shuttle departed, I had scored north of 320K and the life-saver TGI somewhat less. God bless the timely Turian!

What're -u-doing? Dropped out of a Reaper match. Host was a AIU with a reegar. Wave 3, take down targets. I headed for #1; banshee. Tried to land a series of biotic combos on her and failed due to obstacles in the way or lag. Then she popped in front of me and I intended to leap over the cover. Instead, I took cover and got my card signed. I spectated the other three. The other two were not good. The one with grade 1 weapons went down. The host was taking his time. Killed a mob here, killed a brute there; he wasn't trying at all to kill the objective. The other player was getting chased and couldn't do much. Host swanned here and there as the timer went down to 50 secs, then 40s. Banshee warped to a very high platform and stayed there. Host then 'hose' with reegar, didn't do much. I dropped out. I knew the host would shoot off a missile and then likely swan around again, picking off the mobs; must rack up the points! Whatever.

I thought that one might've been possible, but I have a lot of difficulty actually taking cover on that one. Yeah, that's the one, as nicely demonstrated by Sonashii. It's not a spot I have ever considered safe or logical for taking hard cover, so I guess that explains the 400 matches it took to finally manage a grab. I've spent a considerable amount of time trying in the wrong place - I thought the low cover where the two stairways converge was a possible spot, but seemingly not.

Unicorns! Only the gentle and pensive maiden has the power to tame the unicorn PUGs. Exactly that happened the other day: a full team of unicorn pugs. An event so enchanted that we all GIP'ed in marvellously matched in the host-Justicar's game. We probably couldn't have planned it in a lobby any better, had we had the chance. I arrived around w2 with my Huntress, and very soon we got joined by a Valkyrie. A bit later, the Blue Squad got a Vorcha soldier backup, for inevitable diversity. In less than a wave, the Justicar realized he/she can actually trust me to detonate and sync our booms, and the reapers were reaped with a resounding wham across Vancouver. I was happy to have my cloak and dagger, so got less mauled by the hostiles than the dar(l)ing Valkyrie or the vorcha. I've been saving this picture I took in a local shop's toy aisle, for this sort of an occasion. So many pugs - but once in a while, you find the unicorn one amongst them:Here's the end result of this match. GG. Lobby.

I-wanna-win-so-baaaaaaaad Ran into a host (with low CP etc) who's clearly cheating and modding like h*ll. He fired off cain trip mines like a shower of rice in less than a second and yet is plainly "dressed" as a N7 destroyer with multi-frag grenades to boot; I saw him using grenades. I happened to play three matches. Three because I wasn't certain what I was seeing. Only finished one, I dropped out in the middle of the other two. No more after the third. Lousy lag too.

The exception are a few fine fellows which I would recognise immediately like CTyellowbird, Wrex-in-effect (he's not a BSNer but I ran into him many times), Blackwill (also not BSNer).

Snowflake I landed in a Gold lobby with a very low level Warlord host, sporting a level II Executioner Pistol and literally nothing else. Any reasonable person would have just searched for another lobby, but instead I switched to my Krentinel with Claymore, put on some level III equipment and readied-up along with a QME who had also joined. We got Reapers on London, which went beyond smoothly until the end of wave 8, when I got synced as I was trying to make my way to revive the host in the courtyard. He bled out and the QME couldn't manage the last two Marauders, so we wiped. I quit the lobby in frustration, more because the host hadn't returned a single headbutt than his lack of skill - he had actually done OK with around 60k, with me only just breaking the 100k mark. Shortly afterwards I got a message, telling me in a reasonably polite fashion that I should refrain from targeting the same enemies as a Warlord, 'as that's how they stay alive'. I laughed. And was genuinely surprised. I had studiously avoided him for most of the match, with the only example of such 'kill-stealing' being during an escort, when I too was trying to get into rage mode. He died 3 or 4 times in total, usually when on the opposite side of the map, just as he was on wave 8, so it had nothing to do with me. My response was quite lengthy, and although I won't repeat it here I'll allow you to imagine whether or not the word pyjak was used. If you're on Xbox, beware the wrath of any player who doesn't know how to spell Venomous correctly.

Busted Dropped into a Hazard Reactor Cerberus Gold hosted by a lone Krosol. A third pug dropped in on Wave 3, camped the LZ, died, and quit. Wave 5 the Krosol nuked a few spawns to prevent me from surpassing his score. I personally witnessed him instantly revive himself 7 times. He was downed by various enemies, Turants, Phantoms, even a Guardian at one point. As we were camping up top on Wave 11, I asked him if he was typing /revive every time he went down. He said no, he still had 3 Medigel left. I told him that I'd seen him use 7, how is he holding 10? He replied that it was on Phantom sync kill, nothing more. Back in the lobby, I immediately quit out of the game, because my mouse buttons hadn't auto assigned to the ME3 profile, and I'd played that entire game with no reload cancel, and no access to any consumables whatsoever.

FuckIt
My last pug ended in a hard freeze, and it wasn't even collecturds. Looks like Cerberus took a page from their book.
Fuck them all the way to nine hells. And the game was actually going very smoothly. Guess I should figure good things were not meant for me.

Futile
Started up a Silver PUG just to try out my melee Human Adept build. Got downed by a Seeker Swarm on Wave 2 so I was just gonna bleed out and start another game. But of course I have teammates join at the exact moment I was going to wipe, so they finish the wave and I come back.
The rest of the game went well but the funny thing is that we had a Harrier-wielding Paladin who made it his mission to nuke every spawn he came across, even on objective waves. I thought it was hilarious because it started around Wave 8. I guess he looked at the scoreboard and started panicking, seeing a Human Adept rocking a Disiple in 1st place and all lol. Game ends without a hitch, he comes in second and immediately after the game ends I hear the noise that sounds when someone leaves the lobby. Sure enough it was that guy.
