Awesome list. This had me laughing quite a bit. I've been the Master Exploder and Trooper on many an occasion, and have been lucky enough to avoid the 12 year olds.

The Mercenary

Whatever. It. Takes. That's his motto and that's how he plays it. Using Cobra missiles, medi-gel, thermal packs, and survival kits, he makes sure the team survives to the next round. Don't mistake his attitude as one of the team; he's not. He's much more, and much less, than that. At the same time. But, if there's one thing you should know, it's this: his goal is credits. Firebase White with Geth on Gold isn't what he's after. It's the thrill of the hunt and the promise of credits. And only two things stand in his way: The enemy and making sure your sorry ass survives to the next round.

You forgot the infamous infiltrator that lives his whole life in the scope and when his team is in need of revivals, he is too busy shooting. And then he goes to fail cus he runs out of bullets and gets cornered and eventually killed

This one I feel applies to my friend and I....
 
The Legolas and Gimli

When you first start a game with this DUO you think they are only interested in one thing......the highest score possible. You reluctantly stay past the first couple of waves because all you have heard between waves is " I have high score....no I have it." Then the first mission comes and they shock you with their team work. Their communication is spot on, and they do whatever is nessassry to finish the missions as quickly as possible. As the game progresses you still hear them banter back and forth about most points, and you'll occasionally hear things like " I just took one to the face", followed by a " that's what she said....". Once extraction is complete your surprised neither of them has the highest score after all that talk. And that's when it hits you...it wasn't about the highest score, they were just trying to out score each other.

huge thumbs up for the OP, didn't miss much there in terms of types of player I have seen thus far.

You might need a hyperactive man on a mission. (variation of your one man army)

This guy who is always ready for the next match before the last one he was on has even finished, he's ready before you even seen the score chart for the last mission. Super optimistic even in overwhelming odds, all team members down, with five banshees chasing him/her with no cobras available, no sweat, just hang on. He takes things on like everything is moving in slow motion much akin to Neo from the Matrix trillogy. The guy doesn't keep still even when using a sniper rifle, dodging missiles from rocket troopers and ravagers like superman dodges bullets. Talks non-stop like a radio DJ about absoluely everything in game/match and gives you the low down on the political climate half way around world, would give David Letterman a run for his money as a chat host.

Also the "overwatcher"

Not sure what he does but obeserve everything that goes on before him/her, chats down the mic telling you the entire battlefield. You don't see him do much but you sure as heck hear him/her over voice chat. They're the ones telling you everything that is happening on the otherside of the map and also around you. They're the ones who tell you got three phantoms coming at you from three different directions and even when you're about to run around a corner straight into a banshee's grasp. If you didn't know better you would have thought you were paranoid for hearing voices in your head.

Excellent post, made this night, in witch I cannot play, much better

[RagingElvis]

 The Amnesiac
You won't realize you have this gal in your squad until far too late.  Routine waves she’s constantly weaving in and out of battle like a master, pulling off combos, and generally being the squad mate of your dreams.  Until an objective pops up.  She might as well have her fingers shoved in her ears across the map going "LALALALALALA" because you'll never see her again.  Whether she’s chatting over the mic happily with squad mates, intent on getting that combo off, or pulling off a great headshot she is blissfully aware that there are certain goals that need to be achieved RIGHT NOW DAMMIT.   


The Sailor
A mic only variety of the *F---* teammate, chances are you'll "DAMMIT! THAT ----" immediately pick her out from her constant "WHAT THE H----"string of colorful language.  Whether it is that "MOTHER F----" banshee, Sneaky *SON OF A B----" assault trooper, "STUPID ---" geth, or *PIECE OF S---" teammate in her scope she does not hesitate to *YEAH RIGHT UP YOUR ----" provide an ongoing commentary through the whole "G--- D----" match.  


The One Upper


A close relative of The Frusterator who was born with a chip on his shoulder.  Whichever class you play, he can play it better and will go out of his way to prove it to you during each and every match. It does not matter the class, the race, the enemy, or the base this guy is intent on proving his supremacy even if it means rolling a completely redundant team set up.   Nice headshot you have there, I've got 25.

The Conversationalist

You might as well not bother giving this guy a team because the majority of his social interactions will be with the enemy.   Whether inherently hostile: "YEAH YOU'RE DEAD WHAT NOW WOOO!" or outright friendly: "oh hey husk where you going little buddy?" he will say more to the pixels on the screen than he has to a girl in his entire life.  Maybe he is a diehard role-player, maybe he yells back lines at the movies, and maybe he is really just that lonely.  You will never know, and it  is probably is better that way.

This one is applied to me:

The Eccentric Master
If Mass Effect was a movie, this guy would be played by John Cleese. He has some sort of hideously bizarre combination of class, mods, and weapons that you would never possibly allow in a normal game, but you were desperate to get going so you let him join. He then proceeds to clean up the entire map and make you all look like chumps despite being armed with a combination that no sane, rational individual would ever choose. You later try his build and do predictably terrible with it, then spend the next half hour wondering how he was able to pull it off.

[svocke2]

The Crackhead
He's the Batarian Soldier with only a short range Shotgun, an Adrenaline Module and a case of Red Bull. He sprints off at the beginning of Wave 1 only to occasionally be seen whirling past you unleashing a cloud of Ballistic Blades and stealing your hard earn mob wipe as he sprints off again. He has already forgotten that there ever was a cover system and Falcon punches anything in sight. Atlas, Banshees, Ravagers half dead Centurians stuck full of soon to be exploding blades, anything. with each successful Melee he yells "BOOM" just in case you didnt see him take out yet another Husk. He has no regard for biotic combos or anything involving a trigger; but as he constantly reminds you with the kill feed, he has Ballistic blades. You realize afterwards that you have just been grossly outscored by the guy that hasn't yet realized he isn't playing Mario Cart.

I'm typically a Sniper/Medic cross and the One Man Army about a third of the time.

Permanently the unlucky one. If I am in an adjacent room to a banshee I manage to get vacuumed in....

I didn't see that until after I posted, but this is so much freakin fun.

The dead giveaway for this kind of guy is when he refers to his Cobra missles as "blue, winged, avenging angels, come to punish you for being better than me"

I don't know man, I can usually top the scoreboards on Gold going ballistic (hah, puny!), without missiles. Or at least keep good pace.

Oh, and isn't everyone The Nutter when playing Krogan? I know I can never resist...

wow this is me and my mate only slightly different we dont use in game comms have a Team Speak channel, we dont keep track of the top score mid game, during rounds its all aout death and destruction, if one goes down the other is either reviving him, on his way to revive him from the other side of the map or providing cover fire/damage spounge for the guy who is doing the revive. There arent many game one of us doesnt top score, hada  few infiltritors rocking the claymore show us up but at the end of the day the aim is to finish with extraction.

HAX!!!11!! 

In truth though, I wouldn't rule it out completely. I've been in a few matches with people who I'm certain were cheating. I know from experience that Sticky Grenades can NOT kill Atlases or Banshees in a single hit, that it is impossible to destroy an Atlas with about 4 or 5 shots from an Avenger III (with no mods!), and how are my biotic abilities recharging instantly in this match??

... Maybe we should add "The Cheater" to this list!

I only think I've seen one cheater...he had a FULLY AUTOMATIC WIDOW 10. He decimated everything in a 5 second burst. Imagine the Tempest firing Widow rounds. Yeah...

[Xyogan8320]

I'm something of the Lone Wolf and the "Michael Bay", occasionally the Frustrator, and once I get a sniper rifle I feel like using, I'll be the Sniper after I play a few matches. Takes me a couple waves to catch my groove at first.

Anyone ever start their night usin' a sniper rifle and suck with it for a few rounds, then just stop caring and let the shots flow? That's the only way it works for me, gotta get in a kind of zen state.

 The Lucky Bastard

This guy has an N7 rating far below 120 and epic weapons that don't seem to add up.  Despite your 500+ N7 rating he has Black Widow III, while you rock up to the party with your Mantis X because your Widow's still only level II.  As a general rule he's not very good.  He'll just be mediocre for the whole game, while you wish fervently that you could just take his ill-gotten weapons off him and say "Look! this is how you use it!"

That used to be me. I got my BW at a really low level, and sucked it up until I realized I'm not a good sniper.

The Super High N7 Rating Enigma's, or aka the "Machine"

*The machine in the title here btw isn't a geth reference, it's a reference to the novel Armor by John Steakley where a soldier in the future who's fighting against innumerable hordes of alien bugs just refuses to die, and how whenever he's pressed into impossible odds circumstances the inner "machine" as he calls it, suddenly kicks in, and mows down everything allowing him to survive another day.*

A lot of times super high N7 scores, numbering in the thousands, that show up in your lobby can seem like a box of chocolates at times... you never know what you're going to get. Sometimes you can get the super badass who soloes gold games for breakfast and descends down into random silver lobbies to help assist us in our time of need. Or... at other times, you can get the player who's played and mastered so much, that they seem to be playing some genius level meta-ironic comment on the game itself that us mere mortal gamers could never understand. Forget even trying to play the game, they seem to just camp out somewhere with their Black Widow X sporadically shooting up at the air maybe once or twice a round, perhaps like Neo at the end of the Matrix, they are simply content by staring deep into the very essence of the lines of game code itself. Who knows?

That is... until everyone dies right after the hack objective is completed on wave 10 and 95% of the enemies are still left on the field, including 5 phantoms and two Atlases. Suddenly realizing the impossible situation, it's as if this music suddenly starts playing in the background (), and this player awakens from their dormant slumber, where the "machine" kicks in as they proceed to mow down the field one after the other after the other with a form of unparalleled grace and economy not seen since the finals of the last world's best Drell breakdancing competition. The wave finishes, everyone makes it to full extration and afterwards everyone goes their own way, each left with the unsettling feeling that there exists players like this out there in the void... those who can turn the "machine" on and off at a moments notice...
