Objective: finish the N7 challenges!

It's funny, because I was going to do a "Great White Buffalo" of whispering, with Great Cryo Ammo shrinking into the netherworld.

But you beat me to it with the ascending sounds of Cryo Ammo

I am good enough to do this solo with Cryo Ammo; yeah, that's what I'll tell them!

Edit: if you aren't familiar with the reference, please see the spoiler -

We haven't had a post in a while here. Me and failing on wave 10, name a more iconic duo. Got screwed by wave 10 devices on this one, wave 3 was targets that I got to switch without a missile, and wave 6 was a hack (glitched unsuccessfully of course). I got downed wave 2, survive through wave 8 to get 5 WS and used my last gel after getting downed by the last Atlas on wave 9. It was a very frustrating attempt where I played like shit, but had a good chance going into wave 10 with two missiles and an Ops pack remaining...only to get devices.

I must've killed a Nemesis at the same time as the Altas with either a TB or FE.

The problem with this challange is not cerb nor glacier or even damn devices.For me it was this obnoxious gun. I hate all SMGs and never use them.They are like reetards in a different manner.Less lethal,not as chessy,but leave the same feeling.Hurrr durrr could be fun with TSol,but he is fun even with bare hands.

Yes,hurricane the best SMG,good on every difficult vs any faction,but it doesn't matter.You just have to hold the left mouse button untill the clip is emptied.Just as reetard

I can tell since 7.2 doesn't use an SMG nor does it need grabs  That said, my last attempt at 7.1 was super disappointing. I got a wave 3 Hack, wave 6 Pizza (which kinda sucks on console), and ended with me getting kebabbed on wave 9 because I suck.

Usually I would finish with an all around nuke-fest after derping, but to each his own... At least I get those nukes out of my system.  And btw 7.1 took me smth around 50 tries iirc before I did it.

Those are easier ; 7.2 is more difficult, 'cuz geth on London and Ariake is plain boring ... 

i'm actually with Alfonse on this again. well, sort of.

7.1 is not particulary bad.

in fact i admit i quite like it and enjoy the gameplay. my fav of tier 7. but it's very clear the challenge requirements favour more confident playstyle biggly. 7.1 has this in common with Ash too. We're not gonna touch them extra limitations i had in my run here but these two challenges are where "gitting gud" sure helps. well, we can throw Pull Ups into the mix to some extent.

think about it, if you don't have to chase grabs in either but instead go for KS medals, for instance, then that would changes the dynamics quite a bit making 5ws becoming a non issue really. the same goes if one concedes an early death being no big deal thing to recover from in the latter waves.

however if we take someone more defensive, or simply less skilled like me, and then it's a matter of maintaining extra care and double guesssing actions and being afraid of the shadows all the way through. and that throws the dynamics off.

Like first here we have boring wave 1 grabs farm avoiding death. well, at least there safe if prolonged ways of doing that. then moving onto not dying to guardians on wave 2. then the objectives waves lotto. ideally to get away with not using any consumables. then quick and dirty wave 4 for some fun in this don't die sludge with 5 being the biggest challenge. but then from 6 onwards simply have to pick up momentum too, othewise be there forever. that's is not neccessarily easy to switch after the way first 5 waves go. and with 15+ minutes in the mindset is not always there either.

which gets punished further by increased duration, consumables waste, lack of attention and predictable mistakes as the result...

edit: oh and 7.2 is boring as imo. the boriest and blandest of them three.

edit: oh and i had a few more wipes too. the best i got to was w10 targets but then the last rocket i needed to clear the clusterfuck around me went through stairs instead and that was the end of it

yeah i know. i used those three together due to their perceived infamy. and a good illustration, that i forgot to give, of those tradeoffs in terms of number of attempts to complete and their duration

That's exactly that though. i'm getting paranoid about getting the necessary medals covered. kinda got in this checklist habit with Ash to the point of having a notepad next to me. makes it easier to keep track and avoid disappointment of arriving to the end and finding self short of. So yeah... Wave 1, 5 Grabs, Gold Medal, Check. Wave 5, 2WS, check. 50 Tech Kills, check. and so on and so forth. ocd ftw. but comes with those other problems

don't knock until you've tried it yea i have tried AP a few time to see if it's gonna work for me, mentioned that before. struggled with medals, balmed AP for chewing up my SMG kills, though and felt cornered more than i'd liked to through out. because of the latter don't think i'd gain much in the way of time anyways. so, back to Cryo for some added CC. and also AP ammo is so boring anyways. I like me some elemental ammo for some extra fun. exploding things and in the Cryo's particular case freezing things before exploding them. one has to find entertainment where one can. like leaving steve to zap those last atli to death.
