When people use medi-gel on early waves and teammates are right next to them.

I do that sometimes, when I'm mad at the stupid move I just made...

When you watch Mr. Confidence try to melee a banshee/phantom you know your not going far.

As a Krogan soldier, I have meleed many a banshee and phantom in my time.

I've seen a lot of players trying that. The success rate is low. The normal result is  being grabbed by the banshee. So, meeleing  a banshee is asking for trouble and playing with very hot fire. Which leads me to the theme of this thread: yes, if some krogan melees every banshee, I expect the mission to fail (which means that I won't use medigel in that mission). Likewise if the rest of the team resorts to rushing instead of defending. Those teams almost never make it to the extraction zone. Defensive teams, on the other hand, have a 100% success rate on silver in my book.

I dont always melee banshees and phantoms, but if they have just that much life left and they are too close its either I melee them, or they melee me.  Only makes sense.

On another note, had a game where I was a vanguard and was last standing, and basically ping ponged back and forth using charge between two banshees.  It was pretty great.

It's either luck or you are just making this up (especially your story with the 2 banshees since you imply that they were not on their last bit of health) if you are just telling us that it never happens to you.

As explained by tallinn meleeing a Banshee is just asking to be grabbed and killed. It doesn't mean that it happens all the time but the chances of an instadeath are just way too high to be an effective way of dealing with them.

When you decide to let the team die so you can kite more reliably

[Nenya Higurashi]

When I join your team. Or when the host leaves and, without realizing, suddenly I AM the new host (hello there, lag monster)

When you have no biotics against reapers.

It depends on the Wave when these things happen. Lots of times, my teammates catch the stupid during the first few Waves, die a bit, and then bring their game for the later Waves.

... when the game glitches for some reason on Wave 10 to where you are suddenly shooting blanks and your powers have no effect on enemies. And you can't even use ammo boxes to get more blanks.

Happened to me for the first time yesterday.

This has happened to me about 4-5 times.  It is frustrating!

When your Asari Adept teammate is carrying a heavy assault rifle.

Ah yes, the rage-medigel. I am so guilty of that, especially when I screw up taking something like a Maurader down and he kills me. Mash medigel to get up and REVENGE!!!!

[JChaos]

How about the tried and true "Cover a flank with a partner on overwatch, and the partner suddenly decides it's time to join the other guys."

Happens to me at least twice a week, invariably on Cerberus maps.

There's nothing like getting stabbed in the back because your partner bugged out without informing you.

"Only one left!"

[Aiyie]

one person goes down to a turret... then someone else goes down to the same turret trying to revive the first... then the third guy does the same thing...

on wave 3.

[Topographer]

When you're the last one alive and then you hit the floor with 5 medi-gel left....except there are 3 phantoms hovering over your body in a corner.

[Dan the Man]

. . . when you forgot to un-equip your geth pulse rifle and the rookies around you are testing theirs out for the first time.

[Tyrannotaur]

 I'd say when you are towards the later waves and the host drops, so you stick around to continue the game but realize that everyone else left when the host did so you are by yourself against the entire enemy force.

Its only instakill if they hit you first, if your one hit can kill them and it lands first problem solved.  The thing with the banshees was true, Im sure they were injured by others and I was on the red screen near death ahead of time so it was a desperate move.  vanguard charge to one, vanguard charge to the other, back and forth like a ping pong ball.  It was kinda funny actually, wish xbox let you video it cause it was pretty dang funny.

[vladgd]

sometimes i get a player who pretends to be rambo, dies multiple times on wave 1, then leaves.

his departure causes one or both of the other players leaving me to solo/duo nearly all silver.

now i can duo silver, but when i just want money, that just takes more time than i want.

[sca462069]

When you an infiltrator activating one of the four objectives and 3 other people decided to join in.

[Savanah]

When the adept of your team is carrying around a Widow-1

[tallinn]

When a guy tries to solo the mission.

Did not think of that until now but just had a session with a technically excellent salarian engineer who outscored every other team member by magnitudes (ok, not really, but 50k points more is much). But, and that is a big BUT, he also hindered any other team member while trying to do everything, killing enemies, activating stations, reviving team members, not taking notice of any other team member better positioned to the task. As he tried to be everywhere he denied team members of cover places, gave up defensive positions without need and so on. The whole team was in disorder most of the time.

I am pretty sure he thought he was doing the best for all. But he wasn't.

Whenever you have to solo wave 1 because everyone else died. That's usually the one and only tell-tail sign that no matter what you do, you're not getting extracted.

[YuenglingDragon]

This might generate some hate but I know I'll lose when my team has anything other than Adepts, Engineers, and Infiltrators. Soldiers got a nice gun? Adepts make things explode with their minds. Krogan with a bad**** melee? Explode. With mind. Don't even get me started on Vanguards.

Soldiers should go play Halo. Melee lovers should play Soul Calibur. Vanguards...should probably put a spoon in their eye.

I excluded Sentinels from the list of hated things and beloved things. That's just where Sentinels live. I'm not a fan but I don't begrudge your choice.But in my experience the hybrid classes are invariably worse their specialist counterparts.

When you're the only one reviving. You know when you get taken down it'll be mission failed.

This... this one so much... Had a match earlier today, swear I had 30 or so revives, the only time someone else revived was when I went down.
