When you join a bronze match to level up your Level 1 Ice Queen quarian and top the chart just because your Talon VIII obliterates everything on sight.

True story.

I think you misinterpried that. Sovereign was probably talking more about the fact that you look at the clock after the wave is done an go, "Wait... That was wave? We're on wave 7? I could have sworn it was Wave 2." It's not about score its that you realize you've gotten so good at killing enemies it seems like you barely need to lift a finger to kill them anymore. 1st, 4th, doesn't matter. If you feel the game was too short because you cleared them too fast you need to go up a difficultiy.

I was actually (trying) to agree with Sovereign: when you start wondering where the ba guys are, it's time to up the difficulty.  I just differ from the OP in that my score on bronze might lead you to think that I'm not even ready for silver, when the truth is that I do well in Gold.  I'm just not a dominate bronze player.  So I think that one's score on bronze, particularly with a power class, might not be a good indicator.  Even on silver, the kind of hyper-aggressive play that dominates bronze can quickly get you killed.

I go into bronze to experiment with a character or weapon, it's very relaxing and I do not pay attention to the score, I am there to play and test my set up, it's nice once you get enough experience that you do not have to worry about the team

[Nitrocuban]

When you cant use your Krysae X anymorecause it is too boring.

[Morgax_Warrior]

What's this Bronze are talking about i thought there 2 difficulties.

 You are having a conversation on the mic with your team mates the whole time on a subject unrelated to the game, get to extraction, and comment, "Wait, that's it? What happened to the enemies?"

3. You stay under cover. If you are playing Bronze and you are out in the open you likely haven't mastered the ability to move from cover to cover and shoot.

This gives me an idea...

I'm going to take the Battlemaster to the center of FB Dagger, and just stand there. Only pivotal movement allowed, and try to kill everything that comes at me.

When you load up with just Geth SMG just to burn off excess smg eqpt, and still top the board by double second place.

I play bronze when I'm out of rockets for silver and gold because I feel kinda iffy about going into those games without them. Also... I allways start a gaming evening easy.

Then I just run around and help/support the other players. Heck they even get the kills.

When you're not whipping out your missiles for the bosses.

Ran a couple of bronzes because Level 1. Didn't kill much because playing on Silver / Gold has taught me to be careful or you will get stabbed, shot, stomped, Swarmed, impaled or just plain killed.
Never got around to killing the 2-3 enemies that spawned in every spawn point. All the N7 30-40 probably thought I sucked balls when I ended up second last.

Just don't feel comfortable playing Level 1s with three randoms on Silver. If I got friends I can usually drag my ass along just fine.

When you accompany the worst guy on the team to keep him alive for 8 waves, have a very low score, then suddenly lose patience, go crazy on waves 9,10, and 11, then finish with the highest score.

[Nissun]

You guys ever notice how Bronze players be playin like this, while Silver players be playin like this?

[Rafficus III]

I've been able to solo Bronze for some time now and can pick up a vast weight of Silver by myself, but I kind of realized I was too experienced just by observing play style. In Gold, and partly Silver, I don't have to worry about people shooting the enemies whom I set up for biotic detonations or worry about having a Rambo on your team coupled with people who don't understand four people in a hack zone gains more XP than just me. Bronze is what I use when I need to get my characters up to level ten, which I'm finding is unnecessary at times but always a decent game plan so you don't drag down your teammates on higher difficulties.

Yep, that is my feeling on Bronze (and I'm just a Silver player) but I spend a lot of time thinking, "Where the heck are all those guys at".

This. I stick mostly to Silver as well, and usually Bronze immediately results in hunting for stragglers after killing the main group in seconds.

I played two bronze matches with a guy who was level 20 with a Reegar X.

rofl
that might have been me. sorry. I just had a wild hair to go and bulldoze. Vorcha sentinel with rage going and all health regen chosen sporting a Reegar X with EB and EC at level 20 is pretty much unkillable on bronze.

[usctrojanbulldog]

I realized I was too good to play bronze when I caught myself sitting back casually taking shots from cover to level up my "one's"; only to find that at wave 7-11 I'd be the only one alive completing objectives and caring the team.

A few serious things:

1. When you start thinking about controlling spawn points. That is the best sign you are "understanding" the game. About 90% of the problems I see in Silver are people who don't control spawns or cover them and let the team get flanked or enveloped.
2. Along the same lines you get that "sense" that something is behind you. At some point, you need to understand on Dagger that not everything will come from in front of the control room and you develop a timer in your head that says it is time to move and check other areas.
3. You stay under cover. If you are playing Bronze and you are out in the open you likely haven't mastered the ability to move from cover to cover and shoot.
4. You have a "gameplan" for your class(es) vs every foe. If you know how to use your powers to stop each foe. If you play an Engineer and you have no idea how to fight a Guardian other than pray and spray then you aren't ready.
5. You have at least basic weapons at X. I ran the avenger X for a long, long time with a power class on silver.

I never even realized I did these things.

A variation on #2, you know something's wrong when you don't see any enemies coming from a certain spawn, so you quickly turn around to completely destroy the mobs that spawned behind you before they sneak up on the rest of the team.

I'd also add in things like being able to differentiate between the sounds a Nemesis & Phantom make and being able to track them down purely by that fact.

When you repeatedly outscore 3 level 20 characters while yours is at level 1.

I did it 6 times in a row during both the promote weekends, it was hilarious.

Been there, done that. I headbutted the Banshee into submission. Then I headbutted the Brute consort into submission. I. AM. KROGAN!

I've developed that timer. If I don't see anything on that deck within a second and a half, I'm pulling out. Probably creeps coming in left, right, or more likely rear.

Better yet -- Just at the edge of the Wave start, you see your teammate criss-crossing the front platform and you instinctively pull out because you know those jokers just spawn-capped those spots, and you are about to get flooded left, right or rear with spawns. HAUL ASS!

When you see the enemy back away from you, you know it's bronze. It's the only difficulty level you can get away with a "Han Solo" charge.
