Will I have to solo get the Best of the Best banner again? #ItsMultiplayer #NotSingleplayerMultiplayer

no, we're encouraging more co-op this time

The only time I soloed in MEMP was to get the banner.
With no actual requirement, will you still try to solo?

Oh, gods, no. I've manage to solo a game only once, and when you wipe solo, you get next to nothing, so the time is just wasted. Solo is nice to try out a class or a new gun for a couple of waves, then don't waste a medigel and quit it for me.

I can relate.

I did the Kroguard Gold solo on Giant (twice), but it did take me about an hour and a half each time....

I personally don't care much for solos, don't have the energy for it anymore, but there are those players who like to push themselves to complete solo matches, and they should have something to show for it. A Challenge Completion or whatever. Removing that reward is kind of a dick move. It's not like tracking a Challenge is difficult to implement. Why not have it.

Well maybe they do have it but it's not tied to a BotB Banner. His response was kinda vague on this.

You will have to solo to earn BSN credits. What they mean to you is entirely objective ( :wizard:

), but there have been quite some inventive ideas to make it challenging.

I've mostly played solos for RP, atmosphere and fun. Other play to beat time records or impress their BSN love interests.

Soloing on bronze difficulty can be nice (Time passing, RPing, testing kits and weapons, just having fun...)
But when you start having difficulties (having to use medi gel...) it's just boring... Getting my ass kicked alone isn't fun. Getting my ass kick with my friends is all I want for christmas this year.

I do enjoy soloing to unwind and shoot as many enemies in the face as I can, or make them explode, or cook them in the reactor. I find it relaxing. Just me, my gun, no teammates. These days I mostly solo, rarely venture into PUGS. I have no doubt I will be doing numerous solos in MEAMP.

I never liked soloing at all. I don;t even like to carry solo in matches so I go out of my way and use resources to keep team mates alive.

As an aside, I usually 'solo' a wave or two when playing for the first time.

I did it with MEMP and DAIMP, and it's simply to get the hang of the map (or start of the map) on Bronze before joining other real people.

Yes, me as well. Also saves me from looking like an utter fool in front of others as I take baby steps to learn the game.

I hate soloing, so if I don't have to do it, then I won't.

Also, sorry, but I will totally embarrass myself in PUGs with first-time map/gun/character experimentation. I don't give a rip if I look like an idiot to others. :lol:

Nope. Soloing not my bag at all. Set out to do 2 gold ones to get my banner and found the first so unfun that I never bothered with the second. The Grunt Dog of War was all I ever wore once it came out anyway.

I'll most likely try it on each difficulty level just to see if the AI improved any.

Nonetheless, other than testing a new weapon or trying to learn the behavior of an enemy...I won't make a habit of it.
