I guess not. If there is no reward in doing it, I don't see myself doing it. In DAIMP for instance I don't remember doing any solo at any point during my 3,000 hours playing it. I never had any reason to care about it.

I happily lived the puglife most of the time but the urgency of every action in a solo makes the game even more exhilarating for me. Getting grabbed by a husk in traffic or cornered by a dragoon with a phantom lurking around the corner just feels different when there's no one around to pick up the slack if you fail. Victory in this context is the sweetest.
Hopefully MEAMP isn't designed in a way to discourage solos because I am all about them. It would be fun to watch people chase time records with unique kits/weapons again.

I dont really have a good memory for it, but all I recall that might have demanded that were those we needed to get a number of kills with a certain weapon type. And I believe I used to get those kills by just playing a lot with other people.

But I still played that with other people in-game who were there to get some free XP

They tried something really idiotic in DAIMP with treasure rooms and it worked the opposite way actually alienating players. Release the Revenant! "Over here!" "Over here!" "Over here!" "Over here!" "Over here!" "Fine, there you go." *pug gets slaughtered by revenant and we pull him to the next zone* Good times.

When you play a lot of games with bad PUGS you get enjoy semi-solo-ing eventually anways. Usually you have 3 useless decoys at the beginning of the wave, then they die one after another and don't have/use medigel and you have to finish the wave solo

I got Lone Wolf and BotB in the end, so yes I solo'ed ... and I would do it again IF there is a challenge (and I'm pretty sure there will be) ... but I didn't like it, felt so lonely BTW: pugs in ME3MP were actually more than ok (yeah, I know, unpopular opinion, jaddajadda) ... all I learned in MP, I learned through pugging, so pugs are Great Masters And the M in MP means MULTIplayer... just sayin

I hate standing in soft cover and still getting hit by splash damage from some useless decoy. That's why I make it a point to never headshot a-bombs unless they are close to me. Revenge is a dish best served with massive explosions.

My attempts to get two gold solos to complete Lone Wolf used more instances of the word 'fuck' than I've used in the rest of my entire life (I'm normally polite I am). Soooo, would I do it again?
Too damn right I would - bring it on.

This is how you know you're doing it right. The amount of times you swear is directly proportional to the number of close calls you can get out of.

Did you know that the best time to find out that geth platinum wave 2 has three primes is during your second platinum solo? Always great to learn new things about the game. And then I did another one ...

Doing the bronze/silver solos was fun, I actually enjoyed them. I still remember the rush I felt when the clock was ticking down for extraction on my 1st Gold solo....I wouldn't mind feeling that again. For the most part, these dayz when i solo, its because a challenge or multiple challenges are at 95% completion and I will solo just to knock them out really quick then quit the match. I never have attempted a platinum solo.

Yes.
When I started playing MP, I was terrible, until one day I decided to learn shit, and soloing a few times made me a much better player. I guess after my first bronze solo was when I felt I was ready for moving to gold teamplay.
I eventually soloed platinum once, but it didn't really count (Giant-Reapers-Sexbot and I soloed on accident), and Gold about 3 or 4 times, think.
It really ups your game.

It kinda hurt to see how some people spit on solo players. I played thousands of public matches and have seen everything.When shit hits the fan,you see what kind of player you are playing with.Some players under pressure lose composure and run around like headless chicken doing absolutely nothing.For minutes. Soloer,on other hand,picks targets methodically, lure enemies away from devices,watching flanks and always keep free escape route.

Does throwing the controller and then assuming a crying, fetal position in the shower count? I'm asking for a friend.

Yes, I will. It's still the best way to get accustomed to the pressure and to understand the game. Guess we're going to make a club of losers, patrickbateman . And I'll also say this: all of the master solo-ers I've played with are incredible team players. You can learn a ton from them. P.S. I've only 112 SM completions...

You know, this has reminded me of the time I decided I was going to get the solo badge and that was the same time as I got my BOTB because the solos were the last thing I did to complete it. I've never used the BOTB badge while regularly playing because, well, it's a bit wanky isn't it? 'Specially if you're a pugger like me. I think Imma going to go over to the N7 HQ and change my badge, one last time before the release of MEA, to BOTB because, because... for old times sake. I'm looking forward to MEAMP but ME3MP deserves a last hurrah because it was great and I had lots and lots of fun with it.

I keep getting the feeling that Bioware hates the people that are too good at their games.
"Gold is gonna be super tough and you're gonna need great teamwork to beat it" Nah "Soloing is impossible" Nah "Platinum is basically the hardest difficulty in a game ever. 9/10 games won't extract" Nah
Now we have "the game isn't about soloing" and "gold games will be impossible without high prestige bonuses". I have a feeling that less thatn 48 hours after launch we'll have a gold solo video.
