Glacier/Gold is the pros farming

Average time of matches: around 15 minutes, the best map for commando type teams (players)

Back on topic, Geth are harder because they seem to have tons of BS moves

[Xx_Belzak_xX]

I agree, the geth have gotten ridiculous. They were challenging before, but now, they're just frustrating as hell. Everytime I have a match against Geth, I want to /headdesk. It's getting to the point where the +25% xp vs unknown enemies is not worth it anymore. I'll set the enemy to cerberus or reapers just to avoid the Geth. I just rage quit from a match (and I NEVER ragequit), because I was getting slaughtered by every cheap trick in the Geth Handbook: Hunters kicking my ass while stunned/flying, rocket troopers TRIPLE firing rockets until I was dead, pyros torching me from two or three times their weapon range, or through walls, rocket troopers killing me with rockets that can phase through walls or pull 90 degree angles...

It was either rage quit, or throw my controller at the wall. I chose the less destructive option.

They're frustrating.

Your see one, push forwards and button for cover, but a blast hits you - stopping you from actually getting into cover. Then the followups down you... Or you do get to cover, and a prime spawns a turret behind you and nails you in the back.

I think a lot of the problems are people lack the DPS to deal with geth, and they're too used to a decoy distracting everyone, and while you pick them off with a peashooter. If the team can't push out serious DPS you get swamped, and unfortunately too many random teams can't do this.

Plus the stunlocking...

[DiebytheSword]

Geth are managable so long as you keep an eye out for Pyros and Hunters while staying in cover. If you try to rambo Geth, you are going to get hurt.

[Ghostknob]

Hilarious. Today out of all of the bronze and silver matches I played only ONE lobby was set to random on faction. I have always hated the Geth because they chew through shields like no other due to the high rate of fire of even their basic trooper. Always score high against them but still hated them. Only seems right they try to mix things up a bit........keep it interesting.

[EldrichThurge]

They buffed Geth as a response to people farming them on gold on Firebase white. While they are now more of a challenge on that map while using established strategy, they are now by far the most deadly on every other map. Geth were farmable only on that one map. Now they are pure terror on any other map. No one I know will ever play unknown enemy on gold anymore out of fear of the geth.

OFT... but how in the hell could someone misspell "dawg" using the legendary Xzibit meme picture?

[Shadow Shep]

 The Geth annoy me because their tactics are much cheaper than the other enemies.  Sure, there's the Banshee and Phantom instakill, but I find the Geth to be far more irritating.  The reason for this is because literally every single enemy besides the trooper does something that stuns you/or prevents you from being able to move or shoot.  This is not fun, it's just cheap.  What is the point of even having a stagger animation on the Geth when it does nothing at all.

The executions have gotten out of hand with the geth, Ive had a couple times on silver where a trooper downed me then executed me faster then I could hit medigel. I haven't experienced that with other 2 enemy groups.

Geth are the most annoying, but they're also the slowest. You gotta use that to your advantage.

Slowest?

You've never seen a wall of Geth Hunters advance on you, I take it?

[Fliprot]

The rocket troopers are the worst.

Specially if youre playing with a "no-roll" class, like the Turian and Krogan.

If you dont have cover imediately close, its pretty much a rocket to the face as soon as you see them.

[Biotic_Warlock]

OP the infiltrator got nerfed...

Not a happy infiltrator...

[Zso_Zso]

Lets all boycott the geth!

1. Never set your own lobby to geth or Random, pick either Cerberus or Reaper
2. If you are in a lobby set to random enemy and the game gives you Geth, quit right away
3. If you join a lobby where Geth is set as enemy, STAY there, but NEVER ready up

[Serkevan]

A Pyro can toast you from Noveria to Thessia, but it will get really close before it starts to burn you; clever behaviour, but damn annoying.

1 is fine. 2 screws over your squad, unless everyone does it. (And it could still screw over people who drop in mid-game.) 3 screws over the other lobby players who want to play the game. Overall, the plan sounds very inconsiderate. By all means, choose Reapers and Cerberus, but don't intentionally diminish the fun others may have.

I was going to start a new thread but just decided to add my voice to this one. I am going to stop playing random enemy games because some of my characters simply cannot deal with hunters that have powers go through them or kill you while they are staggered. My soldier/rev X can take a pyro point blank with concussive shot and his gun but the hunters simply ignore the stagger from both and just gun me down. Too bad they have made the game alot less fun.

[Prawny]

You mean you don't like getting sniped by a Pyro? Or shot through cover by a Pyro? Or shot through a 0.5m thick concrete wall on Giant by a Pyro? Or shot by a Pyro that is currently climbing a ladder?

Not to mention the Rocket Troopers with their fully automatic, rapid-fire, aimbot rocket launchers!

[Zero132132]

I know the changes are a month old, but I agree with the OP 100%. Honestly, just removing the double-rockets (if I can't have a semi-automatic rocket-launcher, why should they?) and the absurd fact that hunters can shoot you when staggered (or even occasionally when stasised, although I'm guessing that's a bug) is just stupid. And yeah, the invisible flamethrower. You can't increase the range without putting more range on the animation, too.

It's still pretty simple to farm geth/gold on firebase white, because none of these changes affect the viability of crouching behind a counter while the enemies deal with a decoy. They only affect the viability of beating them any other damned place.

I'm guessing they didn't actively try to stop W/G/G farming, they just saw that the geth were the ones being beaten the most and buffed them, but for ****s sake, they should be beatable using a legitimate strategy.

[comrade8472]

one question Do hunters have the ablility to jump?

or was it lag? that made it look like a certain other game, with players jumping and spraying around a corner?

[T41rdEye]

They are fine, except for Rambo Rocket Troopers and Stagger Shooting Hunters. If you have a Batarian/Turian/Krogan you better get ready to throw your fist through the monitor, because you will inevitably get stagger locked and constant rockets to the face.

Seriously, Rocket Troopers are out of control. The nanosecond they have line of sight, whether in cover or facing the other direction, they fire...sometimes multiple rockets in quick succession. Then a hunter comes out of nowhere. Then you run, and get a rocket or Prime Cannon in the back.

If you survive all that, you get finished off by that turret that's hiding near the cover you found. Ok yeah, the geth are annoying.
