 I like sniper rifles.  Even if the Infil was nerfed, it'd still probably be the best class to use a sniper with, and I'd still use it.

What's keeping the Asari Adept from being just as "OP" as an Infiltrator, exactly?

I've played mostly Infiltrators since ME 2, and would continue to do so regardless of how unbalanced the class might seem to some people.

Every class has it's strengths and weaknesses.


What weaknesses does the Infi have?


They take more time to take out groups of weaker enemies than most classes, and tae out the big baddies faster.  It is a glaring weakness.  Don't believe me, try playing Gold with 4 Geth Infiltrators.  Hack objective?  lol, WIPE!


Depends on their weapons, I should think. With Valiants or Black Widows, even mobs of small fries should go down fast enough.


Two Valiants, one Black Widow, and one Raptor (I assume he uses it for shields)
Well... It may have been because we had two brutes in the circle, ad tree Ravagers with a shot on the hack zone from 3 different directions.

We went down as soon as the Ravagers started firing.

its the ONLY class i can and will bring into gold and not have any doubts or concerns about.... i wouldnt say op since its co op but it is a class that its powers play to the strength of the weapon. if your weapon is good its powers will make it great, and if its a really good weapon, your power will make it f'n awesome (i guess OP in most peoples thought), but again its co op and we all share exp and if someone can solo the last 3 rounds of gold with your "OP Infiltrator" then please go ahead

wtf is OP? lol I run Geth Infiltrator with my Valiant. Hunter mode stays on and I shoot all 3 shots invisible. I dont hear anyone on gold complaining when a phantom is chasing someone then its head suddenly explodes. I hear thank you's. so get over it. If you think infiltrators steal kills than learn to use one or get over it.DERP

No I do not. I play infiltrator because I can't play anything else.

In my 200-300 hours of ME, I've played Infiltrator every single time, except when I tried to play soldier once, and didn't even get past the Intro in ME2 (Cerberus station with Wilson)

And I play human Infiltrator, by the way.

LOL Drell Vanguard needing a buff, goes to show you some people don't know how to play.

If you're on a team of biotics the Infiltrator is just a medic. He isn't OP nor is he Underfeed like some class (COUGH THE QUARIAN ENGINEER COUGH COUGH)

I don't know all the "acronyms" in BSN - but what is OP?

Over powered.

Also original post(er) as you said.

I am not offended. I just think people coming up with a million reasons (false ones) why Infiltrators are not OP is ridiculous. For example, one guy saying that a good player with a GI can make any class perform exactly the same. Total BS.


I've carried entire teams of Geth Infiltrators with a Geth Engineer specced for shield restoration.

The GI is only good in the hands of a good player. The same can be said of any class.

In a way, certainly. I also play underpowered classes, so it's not like the sheer strength of the Infiltrator alone is what does it, but when I want to play the class that I am best with and that I will be most likely to succeed with, it's always a Geth Infiltrator. It is the best class for doing objectives, the best class for keeping the rest of the team in the game, it has fantastic single-target damage at every range, and it has strong AoE CC, debuff, and damage capabilities. Hunter Mode provides it an unmatched degree of both security and overwatch.

I think every class can be played successfully, but some are obviously better designed than others, and some obviously have strengths that others do not. However, as the situation gets more difficult and the challenge level goes up, the strengths of most other classes really fall to the wayside next to what Infiltrators, Engineers, and Adepts provide, and of those three the Infiltrator is easily king of solo, objectives, and reviving.

That said, I'm actually trying to make Human Sentinel, WITH Tech Armor, my main.

Also, as much as everyone's reached a consensus that the Geth Infiltrator is the best, I still like my SI better than the GI. I know with the increased fire rate, two shotting a shielded enemy while doing more damage over all is probably faster in general (along with the increased rate of damage to larger enemies), but for whatever reason I'm stingy with my ammo even when I'm 10 feet from that damned ammo box, and anything I can do to lessen the number of bullets required for those enemies makes me happy.

You would at least need to have given all classes a decent run to appreciate how OP the Infiltrator is. Not so great being an AA with 3 infiltrators as team mates...

I do admit it is OP. Until i got a decent Sniper rifle ( read Valiant ) i used to stick with my Turian Senti with Mattock on all Silver/Gold matches and used to do pretty well, but after getting the Valiant, my SI is pretty much unstoppable so yes i'll admit it, i do enjoy playing an OP class atm.

Are they usually defending their position in one of your pretentious threads? Because honestly, I don't see it anywhere else in the forums. Please cite some of the millions of reasons from elsewhere just so we have a baseline. Thank you.

I play GI because they are fun. If you want to call them OP or whatever fine, I'm ok with that because it's really ****ing fun to play them. I also play engineers and sentinels because, just like the infiltrators, I have fun playing them. I do not have fun playing as the other classes so why would I use them?

Also, the most impressive players I've ever seen, either from playing with them or watching their videos, all use adepts, not infiltrators, because they can just wreak havoc with biotic explosions. The havoc they wreak with those biotic explosions seems, to me, to far exceed the havoc that can be wrought with any other class. Wouldn't that then make adepts the most OP class?

to the topic creator: seriously, this **** gets annoying. i like your videos but even in your vids, your whining tends to creep into some of them, especially when dealing with the gps. look, we know you don't like it, you don't have to keep calling it cheesy when its brought up. 

let people use who and what they want without constantly ****ing about it. And jesus christ, sometimes you reek of elitisim

I had to play like an absolute lunatic as a Drell Adept to beat my brother using a GPS on a Geth Infiltrator (Gold/Reapers). I only topped his score (by 5-10k?) because I was chain rushing spawn points on Ghost which gives two cluster grenades per box.

Still, I don't think sniper rifle infiltrators are OP... after using a Claymore on any of the infiltrator kits, it's difficult to use anything else, except for the Kishock sometimes for fun.  Shotgun infiltrators aren't crippled by scopes, and have a lot more freedom of movement.

My GI is specced for melee, which is effective but an entirely different playstyle than the other kits.  It might be OP, but it's balanced by being very punishing for making mistakes.

I admit I play a melee Geth Inf. because I pwn everything in gold.

Regarding all the "elitism" threads that were all the rage a week ago, I present the OP as the very epitome of applied elitism.

If you can do that, then you are elite of the elite but that doesn't change the fact that the vast majority of Infiltrators running around will never be able to replicate their results with socalled '2nd tier' classes.


I can easily replicate the results of my GI with any other class. That's because I cannot adopt to Hunter Mode, will become disoriented with all the polygones in front of my vision and die within seconds if I pop out of cover ... and dying within seconds is an easily replicated feat :-)

To be honest, though, as I slowly adopt to hunter mode, adjust my playstyle to its relative squishiness, I start feeling more and more comfortable. But still I do not get out an OP feeling from the GI, it just starts to become OK.

I am personally getting much better results with my GE and his turret, which I consider absolutely handy ... and I don't sport hunter mode with him

I love being stealthy/ deus ex- ish gameplay.
Doing those enable devices objectives while cloaking makes me look like Kasumi Goto in action!

The fun of this game is playing endless solo games of non-stop running and total boredom.
