Yes. The constant screen shake with the Hades Cannon sequence is more than annoying because of that. I hit shift to pause the game until the screen shaking stops, each time it happens. That's the only thing that makes the mission playable for me.

On my Vanguard, I barely noticed it since I was too busy face-charging into mobs... But on my Adept, I had to "wait it out" behind cover; the encounter took me 20 minutes since I had to keep on ducking, each time the screen started shaking. :/

Note that it may be well worth to do have a button that returns you to default FOV (during cut-scenes), unless you enjoy a look behind the curtains. (force perspective tricks, off-shot translations and animation blocking, etc :)

Those 'spacebar' for everything button is OMGFWTH is this... kind of moment, i mean i want to run and charge but instead they run to cover then jump over to the other platform then bam, Oh a turrent right  behind me and bam..goodbye my friend...


And don't forget places where some stuff scattered all over the place, like med-kits, or data-pads or something. You run to cover to slide over it and hide behind, but no, game registers your double-tap as "pick up" and Shepard heroically stops and picking up some garbage. And then Brute clamps you from behind. Or Banshee send her regards sniny ball. Or impale you. Or Marauders pepper you with bullets. Gah!

I think the biggest problem with the Turian Platoon finale is that the majority of the game is based on the idea of clear area-move cover-clear next area formulae, whereas in this case, it isn't possible to clear the area as they keep getting replenished.

That said the Blackstar makes this section a cakewalk, particular on an Adept who can just bomb the marauders with Warp and Throw.


Whats the problem with that mission? Getting on the open or deeper onto compound is suicide (at least for my soldier), so I keep him in cover (first on entry, on left, near respawning clip), sent team slightly ahead (to prevent overcrowdingImage IPB) and shoot "shore party", occasionally shifting fire on Harvester during short pauses.
Never actually got Blackstar - too dangerous to go there, Harvester is damn OSOKing cheater!Image IPB

Marauder Shields and his three little friends were the only place where I ragequit. Then again, it's my fault for trying to aim with a laptop touchpad.
Other than that, it really depends on the class - my reaction to turrets changed considerably between my Vanguard playthrough (someonegetthatblastedthingofflinenow!) and my Engineer (Turret? Right in the middle of cerberus troops? EXCELLENT). I agree with Grissom academy being pretty tough for all classes though, especially if you go at it early in the game.

3 Geth Prime on Rannoch, and that's it!
the Last Stand mission was so easy even on Insanity, idk why people whine how hard Grissom Academy is, Kai Leng match was a joke, Insanity is a joke!

I hated fighting those damned Primes. What made it even better was my squad mates were taken out within 45 seconds. That fight made playing as an Infiltrator a royal b*tch

Well, yeah, that.

Combat-wise though, if we're talking fair, well-designed, legit difficult fights, I agree with Grissom amphitheatre. Though weirdly enough, the second time I played that I breezed right through and then nearly lost the students during the Atlas bit at the end, which I found super-easy the first time. Insanity both times, and same class, even. Don't know what happened there.

Defending the missiles in London is also brutal. 

There are also some bullspit fake difficulty fights, that are hard because of poor instruction or interface screw or both, like the Reaper on Rannoch or the last bit with Marauder Shields and his zombie trio, but I think that's a different sort of thing.

I guess I'll be serious for a moment...;)
Grissom I enjoyed, especially when I discovered I could hijack the empty Atlas. Would have been fun to take that baby on the road and toss some banshees aside. Speaking of which, I thought the final battle missle defense battle in London was pretty brutal as well. The layout was tricky as far as finding some solid cover without getting flanked and wasted. Fun regardless, though!

I thought the part before you get to the final stranded platoon was tough. That was the only part of the game I remember reloading two or three times on my first playthrough.

The one "battle" where you can't fight back:

That stupid turrent on the ceiling in the Mars Research Station!

So very much this. Since class no longer matters, it's you, the Carnifex you didn't even equip in the first place and Shields.

I lost count on how many times I had to watch that stupid scene by the conduit. I sailed through Insanity mode until I met Mr Shields. I was wondering if I had to lower the difficulty setting and lose my Insanity achievement. Sometimes I couldn't even get past those three huskies.

A lot of people just hate the last ten minutes, but I hate the whole London mission. It was the worst mission from all three games imo.

I don't like the London missions either. The only good thing is the extra Cain at the Hades cannon that you can use waiting for extraction ;)

Getting the blackstar is easy - for one thing the Harvester can't even target you where it sits. I always take Javik and Garrus on the mission and its pretty easy to just keep everything bombed/CC'd while I run for the blackstar.

After that its really just a matter of making your way round the ruins to the opposite corner to the Harvester (which, again, can be done with minimal exposure).

Maybe I'll try that next time. Not sure (well, I tried ScimitarImage IPB), but I just see no point doing that - shooting "welcoming committee" and Harvester isn't that hard.

With Pride: The hardest fight I had was during Priority: Earth, where you have to hold your position, while EDI calibrates the Thanix Missiles. Slightly fearful: They had like, 2 Banshees, 4 Brutes, and who knows how many Marauders and Cannibals; 'Twas horrifying.

When playing on a console I always have serious problems with the Rannoch Reaper (but that's because I'm an awful consoler gamer and opt for PC). Multiple Geth Primes are also my bane.

I had trouble with the three Geth primes on insanity. Mainly because Tali kept dying (ironically enough, Ashley only went down once) and I didn't have use of sabotage/combat drones as a result.

The only fight in the game that consistently gives me trouble is the 3 Geth Primes on Rannoch. I will forever dread that part.

Everything else is manageable.

On normal setting i didn't really have any problems, however im currently running through my 1st insanity run... currently upto Thessia.

from the posts i read prior to starting i was dreading Grissom Academy, but found it quite easy with my Infiltrator armed with Valiant X. but using sabotage on the turrets did most of the work for me.

actually so far the only part which caused me to die purely for being hammered was the 3 primes on Rannoch, they were a pain as sabotage would only work for like a second and only for like twice then they were immune.

Next part im cringing for is the boss battle with Kei Lang and the battle on earth to protect the missles... see how i go there,

I don't have this problem with the Turian Platoon rescue mission, but I do have this problem with the "Clear the Camp" part when you go get General Victus for pretty much the same reasons. The cover is all pretty awkward and at bad angles for me. If I go out into the open to try to get a better position, the Marauder's eat me for breakfast. Dealing with all the Brutes on top of the Marauders is just plain painful, and trying to penetrate deeper into the camp to get to the Reaper Blackstars without getting cut down by Maurader fire ... well, I've never gotten it to end well for me.

3 geth primes on rannoch and back at earth when you have to defend the missiles and let the reaper get close. All those brutes and banshees and getting shot by marauders and cannibals while running away from them.

I usually die a few times in the last battle of Tuchanka: Turian Platoon. The Harvester swoops in and takes shots at you before you can even see it. When it arrives, I'm usually standing in the open with everything around me either dead or unreachable by Charge due to cover placement. So I die and I have to fight the Brutes again.

I think the tunnel section of the Cerberus Base with all of those turrets is hard as well, but I wouldn't know for sure. The game glitched me past it after I died twice and I haven't taken another Shepard up to that point yet. I would have been fine, but the checkpoint right before it kept resetting EDI's cooldown, meaning I'd have to wait ~10 seconds before having access to her much needed skills.

This has made me realize that I don't know anything about the level/cover layouts in ME3, having only played a Vanguard.  Cover was almost never necessary, so I didn't notice it too much.

Playing another class would be like an entirely different game in a way that it wouldn't have been had the Vanguard been remotely balanced.  At any rate, I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one that has some difficulty with that fight on Tuchanka: Turian Platoon.
