What's the Point of the Harder Difficulties?

So what's the point, then? I think that in the retail version, they should up the XP to provide incentive to playing on higher difficulties.

I'd recommend bronze until you have at least 3 people around level 12 for silver. Its actually quite difficult to complete.

Plus the ~2 veteran packs per game is nice for silver... getting ready to get on gold here pretty soon.

Heck me and one other player got to wave 10 by ourselves (lvl 18 and 7 respectively)
Silver is harder and gold is pretty difficult

DARK SOULS!
I hear ya. Nothing trains tactics, perception and reflexes like higher difficulty levels. Yum. <3

I remeber when the only difficulty was hard, no changes allowed

Three complementary classes, too.
Don't run in there with three vanguards expecting to go far.
Four, somewhat high-level, balanced characters are ideal to tackle silver.

I remember how I went ape**** over Halo on Legendary and God of War 2 on titan difficulty. >__<

First group I did it with was with a Soldier, Vanguard and 2x Adepts all between level 14-18.

Completed it a couple of times on Silver. It was very challenging but very, very rewarding. Wave 10 had about 4-5 Atlas's and Wave 11 seemed like it was all Atlas + Guardians..

Our group tried, but failed at about wave 7 because we had a mixed setup, and no Adept on board. Me as a sentinel sniping (Mantis/headshotting) may not have helped either. You think a Widow sniper could help with the guardian waves? Otherwise I'd be at loss how to fit the human female sentinel into silver mode.

We did a Silver run, but we got ganked on Gold.

Not to mention good communication on Silver. It's like the game actually wants to make you work as a team...
Imagine that...

There's still bragging rights at stake.
"Dude, you sniped that guardian through the slit in his shield!?!"
"Hey, watch me biotic charge that guy in your singularity!"
"My Krogan just beat down a Phantom single-handedly!"
Possibly my favorite moment so far. We had a three man team, one of our guys was down. As I was on my way to revive him, a trooper moved in to curb stomp him.
Suddenly, our vanguard teammate biotic charged the trooper, knocking him out of the picture. He then covered me while I revived our teammate and we went to on get a full extraction several waves later.

Yeah I foresee lots of great stories told when the final game comes around.
One favourite moment of mine so far was when I revived 2 people one after another. One of them had died at the hands of a Phantom, I think the second one died having just taken the Phantom out and attempting to revive the fallen squadmate, I rushed over once I knew it was fairly safe to do so, revived them both

Damn right, there is no need to have extra rewards for completing them.

Also, for the challenge. After awhile, Bronze becomes incredibly easy if you have a good squad, so Silver is the next step. Once that becomes fairly easy to finish, you still have gold difficulty.
