So, like the thread about character names, I want to understand the mentality of BSN members, and how they approach the game.
Also, I am kinda giddy right now...for reasons beyond me....
So....what do I mean by the moment before, during or after you get an over-the-cover grab kill?
We all are on the hunt, trolling the map, looking for the most efficient kill possible.
When I spot an opportunity, I select a target, and prowl for the hunt.
Here's what's going on. My teammates in a pug are pretty much depicted so true to form as the bystanders talking among themselves/focus firing but forgetting about flanks.
Vegeta - THAT'S ME.
And of course, look at the bigger analogy at play. Vegeta doesn't like Kakarot/Goku, and he's the downed teammate. Other teammates reluctant to get revive. So I even the odds by meleeing the shit out of something, anything....get the **** over here you piece of ****!
MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE.....
MINE! I AM KROGAN!!!
And when the threat is neutralized, the heal juice is provided.

If I see it, I try to grab it. Right by the Eternity Embracer.

I usually go for a grab, but lag usually counters with an elbow to the face.

This is exactly me. And yes, I do sometimes get pissed off when someone kills my potential grab after I've been sitting in cover trying to get the kill. It's obvious when people are trying to get a grab especially considering interfering can potentially glitch the enemy. I just move on to the next enemy if I see someone's going for one. Unless it's certain players who I troll back and forth with.

i lash or shoot the poor thing you try to grab... better to die with pride than being grabbed by a libidinous team mate in a snuff mood.

i lash or shoot the poor thing you try to grab... better to die with pride than being grabbed by a libidinous team mate in a snuff mood. Oh I don't think that is easy to pull off on me... I am aware of teammate power usage, and their measures to kill whore. I'll just kill whore on a different part of the map! You can't lash beyond a certain distance, you NEED the orange target rectangle!! CelticCookie...a tough Cookie BTW... he's a Turian hierarchy candidate, my Krantt, a fellow N7 and so... He is always surprised by my crafty tactics to bait a grab. And I always play on his host. There's an ocean between me and him... But every situation is different and sometimes grabs are profoundly satisfying... Who doesn't love using a missile to switch the target on HVT's....and then OTC Grabbing the suckers remaining targets in record time? I think I need to clarify. I want to hear stories of conquest! For those willing to share the war stories, do you go into Hunter Mode? Describe a situation where a grab was very satisfying, say you went on a grab killing spree, or killed the last HVT with a grab, or just were in the thick of things and used a grab to make out like a bandit! More talk on mentality and feels, is what I want to get at. Grabs are about timing, and so of course sitting on a grenade piece of cover isn't viable at all! Who doesn't love being inadvertently cornered on a piece of cover and then grabbing and vaulting, grabbing and vaulting, rinse and repeat until UR HAH HAH THEY'RE DEAD/EFFICIENT KILLS.

The following must be uttered after every successful grab, or it's bad luck:

The following must be uttered after every successful grab, or it's bad luck: Good ol' Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa. When you needed a Stock Evil Yet Classy Asian Dude of Japanese Ancestry in the 90s, you called him first (Mako was his understudy). He deserves a place in the Large Ham Hall of Fame for his portrayal of Shang Tsung, a scenery-chewing tour de force that would have been better known except the late great Raul Julia beat him to the top spot with his M. Bison. On topic, all I say is "whew" after a successful grab, since I am always having to mash the "F" key like I'm trying to buffer E. Honda's Hundred Hand Slap to get a #$%^$^%$$ grab to execute when an enemy is in front of me.

A Krogan grab is the least satisfying of them all. Sounds like trying to punch a pillow.
Geth, on the other hand, sounds hydraulically head-smashingly good, and Vorcha sounds like sticking someone's head through a shredder.
I like both of those.

I confess I only do them for metagame reasons like getting combat challenge done or in times of need when I need a bit of breathing room and invulnerability.

I dont go for grabs as much as most of the others do here, I just grab them if I see an opportunity, otherwise I don't particularly go for it. I think that second part is the same for everyone. I have to make a value proposition on the fly. What gives more value? Shotgun to face? Wait for enemy to pop head to... well, pop the head; Arc a power/grenade behind the cover? Or use the brief window available to try for a grab?
Plus I think I need to fix the thread title to something like, "How do you feel about over the cover grabs?"
But there's always a story. An in situ decision matrix.....and then the glorious results, enemy down, efficient kill, invincibility frames, double good when HVT is killed.

A failed grab could lead to an invincible enemy, wasting a few minutes until it decides to go over another cover and falls to death.
So I just shoot them in the face instead.
