Basically, I'm about to start a single player playthrough on insanity and I'm not sure how prepared I am. And I figure here's as good a place to ask as any.

SP Background: I've done 4 playthroughs on normal (vanguard, engineer, sentinel, adept). I'm a completionist nutbar, however, so all 4 playthroughs were around 90%+ completion in terms of missions and assignments. I've never tried playing SP on insanity. 

MP Background: Got comfortable on bronze, then got comfortable on silver and am now comfortable on gold, all public matches. Right now I usually get full extraction on silver most of the time, unless the team is incredibly bad. Gold is a 70/30 extraction/no extraction split, again depending on how good the other players are (sometimes you just get gangbanged by geth hunters and rockets and staggershot by primes and it's sadfaces for everyone). My go-to gold classes are the Asari Justicar, Turian Sentinel, Geth Engineer, Quarian Female Engineer, Human Engineer. I can survive with the Krogan Murder Train and Human Novaguard on gold too, but half the time I get glitched into a wall or the sky or somewhere weird so I'm not too snappy with Vanguard / MP Gold strategies.

So, to all you MP Gold players who also are also aces at ME3 on Insanity: how prepared am I? Assuming I run with either an Adept or an Engineer or a Sentinel?

If you can do Gold, Insanity is a cake walk.
Just keep using the lessons you learned from MP.

You will laugh yourself silly at how ridiculously easy SP insanity is. You'll wonder why you ever played SP on normal at all. You'll check the level difficulty countless times to make sure the game isn't playing a trick on you.

Take it from the guy who sucks at MP but still roflstomp on Insanity without ever using a medi-gel.

SP is much easier than MP. Shepard is a lot stronger than anyone in the MP. He's Shepard after all.

Plus pausing. Oh gawd being able to think through your next move is almost like cheating after doing the MP. However I liken this to Shepard using his immensly high IQ to analyze the battlefield. It seems slow but in game it's occuring rapidly.

SP insanity is a lot easier than the Gold. Enemy stats are basically the same in Insanity and Gold, but in SP there is a lot less of enemies, you have a lot more of powers and you can use pause.

For example, in any Gold reaper match you have about 6 Banshees on some waves, so each such wave is it's worse than final battle in SP.

I think I remember a mod saying SP Hard = MP Bronze, SP Insanity = MP Silver, and MP Gold having more stronger enemies than that.

Anyway if you can perform decently well on MP silver and you have a general idea of how to effectively play your class Insanity will be very easy. The only mission that could potentially give you trouble is grissom academy.

SP is a joke because you never face more than a couple of enemies. It's sad that SP sucks so much combat-wise.

I had trouble with the giant laser beams on the final level when being chased around by banshees and stuff. But then I applied my nova cancel skills and didn't actually try to kill anything (just survival until reaper comes in range) and it was cake.

I agree, SP insanity is combat-wise nothing compared to MP gold. Especially when you have a biotic - with a BE it becomes pretty much a cakewalk, even the last mission with the rockets. Only time I had troubles where when the SP is built to be unfair, like the fight with Kai Leng (too bad you can't Stasis him) or especially the extraction scene in London, where you have to jump to the shuttle - constant respawning cannibals made this really hard, got shot every time while jumping to the shuttle (even with full shields). Only made it by doing stasis-bubble on one of the spawnpoints and saving the rocket launcher until you get the go to extract (killed the Banshee with BE's, they die incredibly fast on SP insanity anyway)

This, should have kept it the way things were on ME1 nice & challenging

Gold MP is def. harder than SP insanity, On my second play through I played on insanity before I attempted Gold. Played gold for a while, then the EC ending came out and SP was still set to insanity and I blew through enemies like it was nothing. So if your good on gold, Sp will be a breeze

Playing through insanity (infiltrator) right now (import from ME2, respec from Vanguard to Infiltrator, renegade run) and other than a little hairy moment on Grisson Station (entering the open area with the first Atlas), it has been a fairly decent cakewalk after playing multiplayer a lot. Definitely feels like MP Silver.

I even took upgrades and armor upgrades to increase my damage by over 50%, so using my N7 Valiant + TC I can one-shot any unshielded/unarmored enemy. Using Energy Drain as my bonus power, shields are not an issue either.

If you are running with multishot sniper rifles like the Valiant/Black Widow, I'd advise you get Garrus' AP ammo as bonus power instead. Pack your rifles with EB/SRCM and enjoy wreaking havoc. Anything that has shields/barriers that is not an Atlas/Banshee will have it's shields/barriers drop with the first shot and the second will finish it anyway, plus you have the luxury of scoring double/triple kills due to penetration.

I'll switch over for the End game.  Right now I am specced into distrupter ammo (not cryo) and making my way through the geth missions.  Against Cerb I like ED.  It fills my shields, stuns them, and strips protection.

My advice:
Go in with a level 10 Saber, and make sure you have Kaidan and that his freeze blast is specced for maximum armor weakening. Or play as Engineer with a properly specced freeze blast.
Banshees will become your ****es (if you don't do this, they become the stuff of your worst nightmares).
And, honestly, the level 10 Saber does a pretty good job of just pwning everything.
BUT, you need someone with freeze blast. If not Kaidan, then play as a class that has it.
Oh, and when you fight the Reaper on Rannoch, don't immediatly dodge it's lazer. Wait a few seconds for it to get close, or the beam just follows you and kills you.
