That statement seems to ignore consoles existing and reeks of egotistical PC user smell. Lolconsole. Right, so what's the problem and why do you need to try and digress a console war instead of sticking to the topic? Red herring budder. Grand digression, what are you even talking about now? C'mon man, I already told you a photograph from your phone, with a Mission Successful screen on your Cerberus Platinum run, is sufficient. That will inform me that you can handle a Phantom - trust me, there will be moments where you only have one to deal with, and my bet is it cuts your heart out but that's why I'm asking for the photo proof. So, I've given you everything I am going to. Either do the solo or don't, but don't try to pretend you need me to do something for you to attempt it. In short, your post is funny. As so it is the insecure PC player BS. So sad how people like you make PC players look so bad. Again give me recording software and tell me how to only spawn one phantom. Remember the conversation was literally about Kai Leng being so pathetically weak that everything else was a challenge. When MP phantoms were mentioned there was no difficulty stated simply that they were more of a threat then Leng is. And I pointed out only to new and or inexperienced players.
Suddenly you have moved that goal post to go from specifically phantoms to the entire Cerberus group on platinum difficulty. You moved that goal so much it isn't even in the same country any more. On top of that I literally said a threat to new and inexperienced players so deliberately picking a set up that only long time and experienced players can do LITERALLY PROVES MY POINT!
To actually counter my point YOU need to hand a brand new player a brand new MP account and give them only the basic characters with level 1 Avenger and Predator Pistol and have them beat a solo cerberus phantom on platinum.
I assume the previouss post was addressed to the one who trivialized phantoms but refuses to post evidence of ability to do so. I assume because I have that poster Ignored and Blocked, as I hate wasting my time reading inane and deliberately pedantic posts. If so, then Artist, I believe you will never get anything supporting those claims. Just moar trolling. I still await your ability to spawn a single phantom on multiplayer to match the 1vs 1 fight that is Kai Leng on Thessia.

So I just started Priority: Geth Dreadnought and there seems to be some missing dialogue. When Shepard first gets inside the ship there is supposed to be some dialogue about the hole Shepard sees being the only damage the Quarians caused and the general plan for the attack on dreadnught but none of that triggered for me.

Did you run past it to fast? There was a bit of a delay for me when I did it so that could have caused you to miss it if you went to far.

I just walked around and picked up the upgrade before heading to the ladder, never ran anywhere. But I also didn't stand around. Use to be when it loaded in to the level they were already talking. Maybe they changed how it triggered.
Edit: Saved and reloaded and the dialogue triggered in the second room where you let the squad come over.

Yep. The same happened to me. Part of the dialogue did pop up just before reaching the control room, but cutoff right away.

ah yes. squadmates not doing what they're told in ME2. Compare them to the squadmate clowns MEA has, the squadmates in ME2 would destroy MEA squadmates. MEA squadmates can't do crap on their own. For example, I had little Ryder stay in cover while the squadmates took on a kett in the bubble. After 15 minutes they hardly damaged the bubble. Since I was falling asleep, I decided to intervene to take out the kett myself. What's the point in having squadmates who can't do any damage. I take ME2 squadmates over the tissue paper squad from MEA. Hear, hear. I was blown away at the incompetence of the MEA squadmates. Couldn't rely on them to do anything. It was almost like they all picked up guns for the first time. Oh, right. They don't even know which end the bullets come out of. I haven't noticed any combat issues with ME1LE except the husks would run in circles for easy targets. Since the patch though, they charge me like I remember. Just started ME2LE, so can't comment on combat with squaddies. MEA squadmates I found were a literal detriment to my gameplay rather than an assistance in almost any situation. MEA combat on Insanity the most effective way to play is debuffs (e.g. Cryo Beam) and weapon damage. Combos are piddly compared to ME2 or 3, and will cancel much better debuffs. But the stupid squadmates are programmed to detonate every effect they can and will simply cockblock you right as you are melting a Fiend or Destroyer or whatever, removing your debuff and cratering your DPS. As a result I tended to bring Vetra everywhere, since she won't detonate anything, as well as Jaal since he misses with his grenades most of the time anyway, but he's also a moron who tries to melee things with his sniper kit and spends most of the fights eating dirt if they last more than 10 seconds or so. Amazing considering they gave all the squadmates something like 3 to 4x the shields and health of Ryder, likely in late playtesting as a cheap bandaid over their bad AI. I wonder what the lore explanation of the PC using such junk gear is? None of the MET had to do this to keep the squad from dying. Their defenses are in line with Shepard's (sans the Krogan, who have a lore excuse). You also can't equip their weapons and they all have low tier garbage DPS compared to a properly equipped trilogy squad as a result. Yeah, wasn't a fan of the "improved" (dumbed down and simplistic) squad combat.

Again give me recording software and tell me how to only spawn one phantom. Remember the conversation was literally about Kai Leng being so pathetically weak that everything else was a challenge. When MP phantoms were mentioned there was no difficulty stated simply that they were more of a threat then Leng is. And I pointed out only to new and or inexperienced players.
To actually counter my point YOU need to hand a brand new player a brand new MP account and give them only the basic characters with level 1 Avenger and Predator Pistol and have them beat a solo cerberus phantom on platinum. Plat solo can be done quite easily with basic weapons on kits that get most of their DPS via power use. Here's a Mantis (default unlock) on an Asaridept (uncommon, very early unlock). Really it's not a test of gear (has been done with every character and weapon in the game), just pattern recognition. Can you track 8 enemies (the max # of spawns) and move around the map in a manner that prevents their firing angles on you? You seem to think you're some kind of genius compared to other people on this forum who have done it, so it should be a no brainer!

LMFAO What a waste of time, and energy, engaging someone so disingenuous. Sophistry is what you practice, gothpunkboy89, and I won't participate. I despise blocking/ignoring people, but it is obvious you have no intention of doing anything but troll. Three posts ago, the solo challenge was issued. A man of honor accepts or refuses, but sure as shit doesn't dance around it. Edit: I own the game, and many others, on PS3. I don't make PC gamers look like anything. You on the other hand....

Mantix X is with both AP mods on it as well as using Warp Ammo 4, Geth Scanner 5, Sniper amp 3 and Sheld module 4 are not starting gear. Not unless you threw about $100 into those loot boxes to get that.
Also please explain how 10 waves of Cerberus Troops on platinum is the same as the Kai Leng fight on Thessia? Or how a phantom is equal to Kai Leng given this was a 1 vs 1 fight?

5 posts ago it was a conversation about Kai Leng and how easy he is on Thessia even on insanity difficulty. And I specifically said a phantom is not a challenge in single player and is only a threat to new players on MP.
You keep trying to move the goal and then complain when I don't rise up to the bait. Show me how to spawn a single phantom to make it 1 vs 1 just like on Thessia on platinum and I will happily record it with my phone. Otherwise it isn't an equal comparison to say Kai Leng on Insanity is the same as 10 waves of Cerberus on Platinum. Not unless you are saying Kai Leng is the equivalent of taking on 10 waves on Platinum?

Those aren't relevant differences except in terms of saving a few minutes time over 10 waves. Also since when did this become a question of "kill fantums with meme build stuff" anyway? The goalposts are in another postal code at this point. You said they were EZ to kill for you, we've challenged you to prove it by any means you like. You can run the most busted Talon GI kit, or whatever else is effective for your playstyle, to accomplish this. You refuse to do so, because you're unable. Were I being uncharitable I'd say you have less intelligence than a 16 year old, since I've known ones that can do this.

I tried to get the "everyone dies including Shepard" ending in ME2 once and I was so pissed when one of my squad still survived. Dammit! If including the crew, it can't be done. At least not for me. I've tried a few times. The reason why I say that is because the most I've had die holding the line is 3. I tried 4, using the weakest squadmates without being loyal, Jack, Tali, Mordin and Kasumi, but one survived. Even though one survives, Shepard will still die since 2 squadmates are needed for Shepard to survive. It is possible to have all squadmates die, but that's if one is sent back as an escort. If someone wants to have all squadmates killed, here's a post I made about that. So to get all twelve party members killed you have to have someone dies at EVERY opportunity for someone to get killed. You literally have to screw up as bad as you possibly can at every turn.

Were I being uncharitable I'd say you have less intelligence than a 16 year old, since I've known ones that can do this. And that extra 10 minutes can kill you. You make a mistake, it snow balls and then your dead. I've had plenty of experience with that in Dark Souls.
The genesis of this whole stupid troll fest by @illusivechad was a discussion about the fight with Kai Leng on Thessia. How he is so weak and so many players are near maxed out the fight lasts all of a single minute if that. Someone mentioned that the phantoms in single player are more threatening then Kai is and then red ceasar mentions how the MP phantoms are more of a threat. I said only to new/inexperienced players.
Suddenly illusivechad changes the subject from taking on phantoms to taking on 10 waves of Cerberus troops rater then 1 vs 1 a phantom which is what the Leng fight is on Thessia. I would be happy to fight a 1 vs 1 phantom on MP to compare and contrast the difference. I'm still waiting to be shown how to spawn a single phantom. Because that is what the fight is 1vs 1.
According to Iakus Kai Leng is so pathetically easy that the fact you lose to him on Thessia is insultingly bad writing. So to get a accurate comparison we need a recording of a fight against Leng on Thessia compared to a solo fight against a phantom on MP mode. Ilussivechad there has been shifting that goal post from a 1 vs 1 comparison to a 1 vs 10 waves of Cerberus Troops on platinum. Not only is this not an accurate comparison between Leng and MP Phantoms because it isn't 1v1. It actually proves my point because new players would not be able to complete a solo platinum run. Even by your own logic you say it isn't gear it is experience which again is literally my point. Experience is what reduces the difficulty. Something new players lack.
It is amusing to watch illusivechad try to move the goal posts and getting mad I'm not taking the bait while you to keep proving my point. If phantoms are so piss easy anyone can do it and in fact if anyone can solo a platinum around on MP then they are by definition not more difficult then Kai Leng's on Thessia. Because literally anyone can beat him. So you actually disagree with Illusivechad and agree with me.

When they literally prove my point while trying to troll me I can't help but laugh.

I would be happy to fight a 1 vs 1 phantom on MP to compare and contrast the difference. I'm still waiting to be shown how to spawn a single phantom. Because that is what the fight is 1vs 1.
Well if that's where this started then it's open and shut. MP Fantum is easily superior. Insanity Leng, mechanically, is a male Fantum whose melee kill works like a husk grab, i.e. can be countered by button mashing the melee key. Fantum sword by contrast can't be countered (without exploiting a bug, anyway), so he is already lacking one lethal tool of the regular Fantum. His DPS of his palm gun on Insanity is about MP Silver Fantum level, significantly below Gold and far below a Plat Fantum. MP Fantums also ignore 90% of damage any time they are moving. Leng is a flat out inferior unit with a plot shield plastered on it. "Experience level" of the player is irrelevant, since the two units function identically and require the same strategy. The MP Fantum simply has a lot more DPS, ignores incoming damage while moving, and can instant kill you. The other sometimes stands in place and recharges its plot shields until the game decides you are allowed to kill it, but that doesn't make the fight more "threatening" as it doesn't do anything threatening to you while it's recharging. Leng has remarkably little ability to actually down the player. An MP Fantum can do so with 3 shots of its palm gun in 1.5 seconds (to any kit with less than 1050 shields) or with an uncounterable melee instant kill from close range. Anyway, I believe you stated Fantums aren't a threat to anything but new players. Unqualified, full stop, MP or otherwise. You were challenged to prove that theory in a Plat solo which would pit you against plenty of them 1v1 (and therefore get a sufficient sample size of engagements to remove any luck in any individual case, good or bad. The scientific method requires repetition of the experiment, after all) then post the screenshot of a mission successful screen to demonstrate your statement that they weren't challenging to an experienced player. You've thus far refused to do so for reasons that we can only assume.

The genesis of this whole stupid troll fest by @illusivechad was a discussion about the fight with Kai Leng on Thessia. How he is so weak and so many players are near maxed out the fight lasts all of a single minute if that. Someone mentioned that the phantoms in single player are more threatening then Kai is and then red ceasar mentions how the MP phantoms are more of a threat. I said only to new/inexperienced players.

You've thus far refused to do so for reasons that we can only assume. Pretty much Leng is a silver wave phantom but not as bullet spongy and an instant kill in melee range. Which experienced players know about and can avoid pretty easily. The only way to actually be killed by the instant kill is to
1. Not know it is there and so be killed by surprise. 2. Corner yourself accidentally because you don't know the lay out of the map 3. You are pinned by other troops and can't move to avoid or deal with it before it reaches you. Simply making it more tanky doesn't increase the difficultly, particularly when the MP mode is designed to have up to 4 human players working together to take it down. To quote you: Those aren't relevant differences except in terms of saving a few minutes time over 10 waves.

I've found a lot of minor quests I missed out on first time I played, feels a bit like playing it for the first time again! And I loved how I could finally get the paragon/renegade dialogue options I got locked out of because ME1 wasn't available on PS3 at the time. It feels like this is a more "true" play-through than my actual OG one.

Those aren't relevant differences except in terms of saving a few minutes time over 10 waves. Also since when did this become a question of "kill fantums with meme build stuff" anyway? The goalposts are in another postal code at this point. You said they were EZ to kill for you, we've challenged you to prove it by any means you like. You can run the most busted Talon GI kit, or whatever else is effective for your playstyle, to accomplish this. You refuse to do so, because you're unable. Were I being uncharitable I'd say you have less intelligence than a 16 year old, since I've known ones that can do this. And that extra 10 minutes can kill you. You make a mistake, it snow balls and then your dead. I've had plenty of experience with that in Dark Souls.
The genesis of this whole stupid troll fest by @illusivechad was a discussion about the fight with Kai Leng on Thessia. How he is so weak and so many players are near maxed out the fight lasts all of a single minute if that. Someone mentioned that the phantoms in single player are more threatening then Kai is and then red ceasar mentions how the MP phantoms are more of a threat. I said only to new/inexperienced players.
Suddenly illusivechad changes the subject from taking on phantoms to taking on 10 waves of Cerberus troops rater then 1 vs 1 a phantom which is what the Leng fight is on Thessia. I would be happy to fight a 1 vs 1 phantom on MP to compare and contrast the difference. I'm still waiting to be shown how to spawn a single phantom. Because that is what the fight is 1vs 1.
According to Iakus Kai Leng is so pathetically easy that the fact you lose to him on Thessia is insultingly bad writing. So to get a accurate comparison we need a recording of a fight against Leng on Thessia compared to a solo fight against a phantom on MP mode. Ilussivechad there has been shifting that goal post from a 1 vs 1 comparison to a 1 vs 10 waves of Cerberus Troops on platinum. Not only is this not an accurate comparison between Leng and MP Phantoms because it isn't 1v1. It actually proves my point because new players would not be able to complete a solo platinum run. Even by your own logic you say it isn't gear it is experience which again is literally my point. Experience is what reduces the difficulty. Something new players lack.
It is amusing to watch illusivechad try to move the goal posts and getting mad I'm not taking the bait while you to keep proving my point. If phantoms are so piss easy anyone can do it and in fact if anyone can solo a platinum around on MP then they are by definition not more difficult then Kai Leng's on Thessia. Because literally anyone can beat him. So you actually disagree with Illusivechad and agree with me.
Hey I totally agree that ME3's writing is insultingly bad, but please cite where I have mentioned the Thessia Kai Leng fight here.
