Working as a team and watching each other's back always puts me in a good mood. I love playing my SI and the now shorter duration makes team work much more essential to the class than it was before.
I'll still run across half the map if my teammates got downed, hitting cloak only in the last moment to have time to revive, but I also have to rely much more on them, especially during objectives when my cloak suddenly runs out halfway through. Many people, especially those who don't play Infiltrator themselves probably don't even know about the nerf yet, and think that I'll be fine on my own when I cap an objective, so it's even more awsome if one of them shows up to finish off that assault trooper/whatever that just started shooting at me.
I'm always really grateful for the help, but don't have a mic, so thank you to all of you who watch out for your infiltrators. <3
I have always enjoyed covering infiltrators. By covering, I mean providing overwatch from nearby and not standing right on top of you attracting missile fire. LOL

Had several things that put me in a good mood last night. All silver rooms with my go-to Turian Sentinel. I was the only one with a mic, but everyone seemed to pick up on what I talked about, which was nice.
1. Found a room with an N7 54 human male vanguard, who I was able to teach the wonders of biotic explosions. He was a smart, conservative vanguard, which I found refreshing considering his low N7. He didn't charge off to the opposite corner of the map and die... he charged things close by to help kill and keep his barriers up. Good on him. However, when Primes started to appear (on Giant), he made a habit of immediately charging them over and over. Probably trying to help us take out the "big guns" first. I told him to hang back a second and watch me. He fell back to my side and I threw my fully-specced Warp (specced for extra BE damage) at the Prime. I said, "See how he's glowing blue now? That means if you charge him NOW, we'll create a biotic explosion that does more damage to him than either one of us attacking him by ourselves." The vanguard charged. KA-BOOM! He rolled back, waited for me to throw Warp again and, as soon as that Prime glowed blue, he charged again. It was awesome. He and I proceeded to demolish all the Primes the rest of that match, and a baby vanguard learned a new, powerful way to help his biotic teammates in the future. Gives my heart the warm fuzzies!
2. Ended up leader in that room after the host shuffled out. I retained two teammates and had an open spot fill with an N7 7 human infiltrator, rocking a Tempest II and Incisor I.
Challenge accepted, I thought. He readied up. I decided to be nice and warn him ahead of time, though, in case he hadn't meant to drop into a silver room. I told him it was silver and not bronze, which meant much tougher difficulty. Told him I wasn't gonna kick him, just wanted him to be aware in case he wanted to leave. He stayed ready. AND THE OTHER TWO TEAMMATES LEFT. Wussies. So, the two of us sat there, me and my eager N7 7. I wanted to wait for at least a third person because while I feel confident carrying someone on a two-man team in bronze, I really need at least a second halfway-competent teammate in silver if someone else needs a carry. But after waiting for a while, no one showed and poor N7 7 sat there with his green checkmark glowing in anticipation. I sighed, said, "Challenge accepted" over the mic, and readied up. I wasn't scared to roll with a N7 7 in silver. I'd carry him as far as I could and help teach him things until we either died horribly or others dropped in in-progress. Jade/Reapers. We did end up getting two more teammates. And the N7 7 didn't do too bad. Hardly had to rez him, but from the way he stood still between waves, I know he was checking scores. By Wave 7, he left... either because he was sad about being at the bottom and so outscored by the rest, or because he got disconnected, or maybe he was just freaking out from all the enemies and wasn't having fun and left. Not sure. But I sent him an encouraging message after the game because he really WAS doing well given the situation and his experience level. For his second game EVER in MP to be Silver/Reapers... that's baptism by fire. And the kid did well enough for himself while he was there.
3. In that same game, I got a krogan vanguard that knew what he was doing. I didn't even have to say a word over the mic. I would Warp a brute, and he would charge it afterwards. Always waited until he saw me Warp them first. Put me in a good mood to run into someone who understood how to team up with me for BEs without my having to say a word about it.
