Gold is ridiculous but that's why it's so fun.

I don't mind the difficulty, but I also want better weaponry. Of course it's going to be difficult when you're carrying only a class 3 of anything. Even after several purchases of Spectre and Veteran packs, I find my Level 20 character carrying a pitiful Avenger III and 35 spare ammo packs kind of ridiculous. Of course, the maps are going to be challenging when it takes 20 shots to take out a cannibal.

I didn't even realize it was on silver difficulty at first, but wave one seemed to go on forever and it had enemies that wouldn't have usually been in there. It wasn't until I brought up the menu that I realized it was silver. Made it to wave 10 (quite the struggle), but couldn't finish the deal.

always always always farm recruit packs on silver before graduating to gold, your bread and butter weapons can be the mantis and avenger X with level 5 standard mods.  Also, maxing out beginner weapons and mods keeps them from occupying slots in those hard-earned spectre packs you start farming.

I like the way that coop in this game is way more important than in left 4 dead where you have individual pubstars who brag on about how good they really are. It's because you can headshot a target with any silly weapon you can find in the game. This is why I find this multiplayer a great alternative, cause I love l4d but it is sometimes too easy.

I win 2 or 3 silver matches a day already. But the good thing is that it doesn't actually matter. You get bonusses for being rescued but I consider it a good match also if we get to wave 9 cause you still get XP and credits.

I feel that I would only return to bronze to help new players around, but as it is the same in l4d, if you go back to normal/advanced mode, it kinda makes you "lazy". You need to keep training to become better in the mode that gives you a good challange according to your abilities.

For me that is silver. I'll never be so good in gold I think.

Its kinda refreshing i feel the difficulty of mass effects multiplayer :) Like people say even bronze can be a challenge. But I get the most fun playing with some friends on silver or gold. Having to work together now thats what makes the multiplayer for me ^_^

I beat bronze regularly. I am surprised when we fail at it. It has happened. As far as Silver I beat it once and we were pulling off amazing revives. Other then that I have been to stage 9 a few times on Silver. I almost refuse to do gold.

Played silver yesterday against the reapers (Soldier, lv.17), made it to wave 10 (Hacking different terminals) two people were downed by banshees within 20 seconds, the other guy downed a little bit later. Finished the objective by myself and almost killed everything (I carry 5 rockets, and a claymore), then i was swarmed by like 8 Marauders and was killed. (Used all 5 medi-gels finishing the objectives)

I love the difficulty levels.

After the bronze matches got too easy I did my first silver match yesterday.
Toward the end there were two banshees and endless waves of enemies so our squad was mostly reviving each other but made it out together. I loved it !
You usually don't get such adrenaline kicks out of those easy games nowadays.

Thank you, Bioware. The multiplayer is fun.

I didn't actually start doing any Silver matches until the Goliath Challenge started last weekend. After many failed attempts, I was finally able to beat Silver. Banshees, Brutes, and Ravagers coming in huge amounts... Was an amazing challenge. I'm surprised that BioWare was able to evenly set out just three different challenges. It's a really nice set up.

A couple days ago, a friend and I decided to do Silver by ourselves. We were both Turian Sentinels. We actually made it half way through Wave 8. We made a pretty good team, especially sense having a mic helps out a lot. :P

But I think we were really lucky too. I believe the map we were one is called Firebase White. Somehow the Banshee teleported up on the railing, getting herself stuck. Thanks to that little misshap we were able to just focus on the other forces, considering she was the last Banshee for that wave.

But yeah, I've met some great people, and definitely some bad people (One kept getting pissed off, and yelling, "OMG, you stole my kill! I worked so hard on that enemy!"... It got annoying... Real fast.).

Thanks BioWare, for a great MP. I've never been this addicted to a MP. :3

Gosh, any good tips for Silver Reaper? I occasionally get through all the waves, but it really depends on how good my team-mates are.

I usually use my Human Infiltrator for Silver challenges.

wow, this was my first time doing multiplayer anything. Not a warm welcome...:) Go in level 1 on Bronze, everyone else is higher, but really struggled after about 20 minutes because the waves just got too strong for my guy. All I could do was run around and not get sodomized by Brutes who could kill me in one shot. That wasn't fair to my teammates, so I had to stop. I will say this: I expected jerks in multiplayer, and I had guys that tried to keep me alive--thanks you guys!--but I was just too weak when theBanshees and Brutes started swarming in. This would be fun skirmish--especially if you could play the way you do in the game. Also, the lack of breaks kinda sucked. I have mild athritis, and I can't play at that intensity for a half hour on end, so apologies to anyone I cost points from....:) Too bad, really, it was kinda cool. Better than I expected.

Seriously, I felt like I went in there with two bullets and a rock...heh heh.

After playing the MP for some time now: yes, bronze can be challenging for a long time after having reached the level cap of both class and weapons and even more has very exciting moments (especially if wave 10 demands you to run through four stations, even more if the enemy is reaper then - fun garantueed and bad teams fail this even on bronze). If you find it too easy, make your goal to a) stay alive B) do not use medigel c) do not use a rocket.

As a side remark: Actually I find a) an essential skill to learn (which makes B) easy to fulfill :-)). Too many players take it too easy to go down in the game, not thinking about the stress it imposes on the team to rescue them. Just recently we lost a game on bronze for a player running away from the team, going down and another one trying to help him, going down as well - it was a four station wave 10 with reapers :-( We would have breezed through that wave if that did not happen. If you want to run around, racking up kills and points, play the krogan sentinel. He seems to be invulnerable. I have yet to see one going down on bronze.

Another side remark: too many players run for rescuing others without checking and possibly cleaning the place. It does not make sense to revive someone under heavy fire. The result is: two grounded team members. So if you are dead, hammer space and give your comrades time to clean up the mess you gotten into.

Silver Level of difficulty is PLENTY challenging for me. I've tried gold and got freakin caked all over the place. (Lost within 3 waves.) I wanted to try in hopes of, even in defeat, reap the benefits of challenging my characters. (More exp and money.) That wasn't the case tho. I made dismal cash and no exp, so I dont see myself playing on Gold anymore.

I'd like to see a more equal balance between how much cash you earn vs. how much exp you earn. I've already promoted 1 class, but I'm stuck with that pea-shooter M8 Avenger. (I LOVE THE MATTOCK) But I have to play non-stop for HOURS AND HOURS to get enough money to pay for the spectre pack. Or even a veteran pack.

Those are pretty much my only concerns. Outside of the occasional bug, the multiplayer is rock solid. I love it!

True that! I've been smeared on a couple Bronze missions. (Usually versus the reapers) Those particular missions are usually indicative of poor teamwork.

I would like to see a lesser gap in difficulty AND reward between Silver and Gold. Gold is almost horrifying. lol Image IPB

Yeah, making sure you're matched in a good lobby is crucial. I always use Warp Ammo mods. It really helps against those freakin Banshees.

This has always bugged me, Lee. I just have to ask, why is it automatically set to silver; shouldn't it be set to bronze at first? Most people coming into the game may not even immediately understand what bronze/silver/gold means. Or just how radically difficult Silver is from a Bronze match. And to be honest I can't even see good players starting out (score 1)  winning a bronze in less they are with some really good friends.

Another thing is I feel pretty bad when I'm "that" guy who chooses to kick a player with a score of 1 going in to a silver match. I just imagine that player on the other side of the screen scratching their head and going "huh? What just happened?"

*edit: Just want to reiterate my thoughts. It's not a player skill related issue. It's just simply that a no-level, not-geared player is going to be a huge burden to anyone else participating in the silver match. I've been playing insanity-difficulty games since ME1 and even I know I'd be worthless with a level 1 characters/guns in silver. Heck, playing silver with randoms is practically impossible as it stands even without the clueless level 1s.

Don't make "Challenge: Any" be the default.

Make the default be "Challenge: Bronze" and then let people bump it up to Silver when they are ready.

Tip for silver: sniper rifle + overload or cloak.

I had to post this somewhere it would be seen.

I play on 360, and everytime I try to REVIVE someone, its freakin horrible.

One of two things happens. (every time.)

ONE: My character will be beside a fallen ally, who just so happens to be next to a wall, and when I try to revive him, MY CHARACTER GOES TO COVER INSTEAD. Now, not only am I entirely over-run by enemies, the dude lying there is dead, and probably really pissed with ME.

OR

TWO: The game or my character gets confused and doesn't revive the fallen friend when I hold down "A". So, instead of reviving him/her ON THE FIRST TRY, I have to sit there, and try executing a revive 3 or 4 times, before my character does so. (Not to mention, I'M BEING PLASTERED BY ENEMY FIRE IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS MISCOMMUNICATION.)

Try to level with me. I literally shut off my game, and went to the computer to type this. Seriously, like 15 minutes ago this happened, but its been a reoccuring nuisance for a while now.

Fix it plz?
