My back hurts from playing all these games.

[PencilManners]

lucky enough to extract first try, got into FB reactor with a justicar, a MQI with a kyrase and a vorcha with a reegar (me being an AA with a hurricane).
thankfully there was no hack but it still got pretty hairy at times

[ka243]

Firebase white worked nicely for me. Banshees sometimes get stuck on the counters but not always,!!! Be careful and use missiles when needed. For best success make sure everyone is l20 and using all consumable slots.

My first 2 attempts (Reapers on Gold) with PUG's went fine ... both with partial extractions. The next one was a wave 3 wipe. Nobody would use medi-gel. My next one I'm going to make sure everyone has something to loose (all 4 slots filled with stuff) or I'll just leave the lobby. Sucessful extractions were on Hydra. Good Luck! (on PC)

Yeah, I'm taking a similar stance on making sure everyone's using full equipment slots. They gotta be taking this seriosly so I don't waste my good equipment.

4 games in a row dead on wave 10 because people just absolutely refuse to use missiles for some strange reason... Anyone wanna help me out?

I can't help you out. I don't get why I'm the only person willing to missile in an emergency, or when there's like 2 banshees close together, or a buncha super units together in general.

I try not to waste missiles, but I'm not afraid to use'em either.

See, I wouldn't use them just because they were close together; only if they were close AND it looked like we couldn't handle them/were in a hack objective.

If I see 1 brute and 2 banshees coming at a distance, i'll try and take them out so a missle a doesn't need to be wasted. If on the other hand it's use missile or die, then I will.

Are you freaking kidding me? I get a good pug (reapers/giant/gold) with a AJ and two krogans, im on my phoenix vanguard and we are pretty much raping face, wave seven starts.

Why PUG?

Oh dear, I can see that this operation weekend is going to hurt.

You're telling me! Everyone I've played with so far doesn't equip anything and use all their missiles before wave 7. It's a nightmare. Furthest I got was wave 8.

My gamer tag is scw156 on Xbox. Will be on this evening. Play Salarian Infiltrator or Asari Adept usually.

Random PUG all making it to wave 10 doesn't sound like a nightmare.

Making it to wave 10 and wiping before completing the objective is much more infuriating than wiping before, especially if it's because no one else is willing to shoot a missile.

Happened to me the other day, too, but vs Cerberus.  Wave 10 Pizza on FBW, I got stabbed while distracting a Phantom so the guy could move with the pizza.  Everyone else bled out (I revived them for all waves up to that point, so they had to have medigels but must have refused to do so), and the pizza guy had to solo the rest of the way. 

He was at the mid-level room down the stairs, straight away from the LZ.  I politely said "There's a turret and a phantom up ahead, you may want to bust out a rocket," but an Engineer approached so he backed down the stairs and switched to primary gun. 

I then said, "You're probably going to get flanked from behind, you should just go for it and rocket ahead.  Just keep it out while you go."

Well, as he was dueling with the Engineer, two Phantoms came from below, so he was sandwiched and got killed while trying to switch again to his missile launcher.

I guess, in the end, it was a lesson learned for them, but it was frustrating for me, probably moreso than usual because I'm trying to save credits for the DLC and keep running into some bad luck with games.  It would have saved a lot of time if we had wiped on 7 instead.

This happened to me on Wave 10 before
What hurts most was, everyone else was still up (we were in party chat). 

My connection returned, so I tried to join, but then I got the EA Server message again.  Argh!

[Scudman_Alpha]

 apparently PS3 has a more scrubs playing the game than any other platform

i know some are good and all but some...dear god they suck, i mean really REALLY suck, and halfd the time people are not even aware theres an operation even (no splash screen  ) which made operation savage for me a living HELL, i gave up and soloed a bronze game to get the commendation pack on that one

and i gave up for today ran 5 games all of which failed and i had to carry the team to either wave 7-10

Its a nightmare because they all die at wave 10 and for this weeks objective we must extract on gold

[d_nought]

Has the op started already? *slowpoke*

Well, I just pulled a fair few extractions on PC fairly easily. There was always one other guy who knew what they were doing though. Not like yesterday, that was a pretty bad day.

Just did one and we got full extraction...

Now I can pretend I contributed towards someone getting the squad goal.

The commendation pack requires a gold extraction, bronze won't do anything to get that.

"Operation BROADSIDE puts our reinforcements to work by coordinating large-scale attacks against the Reapers on multiple fronts. The objectives vary from planet to planet and theater to theater, but the common goal is to develop a sustainable fighting method with a minimal loss of life.

Squad Goal: Extract at least one squad member against Reapers on Gold difficulty
Allied Goal: Extract 400,000 squads against Reapers on ANY difficultySpecial Circumstance: None

Squad Goal Success: All squad members awarded a Commendation Pack
Allied Goal Success: All players awarded a Victory Pack. Medi-gel cap increases from 5 units to 6. "

I guess you still helped by reducing the number of squad extracts by 1 for the Allied Goal.

Just did my gold reaper match in pug and damn was it intense. We somehow managed to pull off a full extraction too, and that fact rather puzzles me. Anyway, I usually don't like playing reapers on gold, but that was rather fun actually. I loved having fast shield regen with my GE using stronghold package I and a shield power cells III, plus being able to tear brutes a new one with the harrier with piercing mod V, extended barrel V, incendiary ammo and AR rail amp III.

[Felhand]

Heh okay so the pugs I just had went as fallows:

Pug1: were discussing what weapon they needed for missile glitch
Pug2: died on wave 10
Pug3: N7 40, 40 and 5.
Pug5:Three retards around 5k-6k n7 who apparently think 650 n7 is a bronze player.
Pug6: "Waiting for other players" (Hears weapon fire) "Your connection has been lost"
------
So much suck.

[silvsurfer]

xbox here. ive extracted like 4 out of 6 pugs games so far getting to at least wave 7 all 6. i feel pretty good cause i aint all that. just finished a 2 AJ, 2 AA team that was like a walk in the park. keep trying. ill be playing all weekend cuz i needz da money for tuesday!!!

[Armorat]

Have had ok luck so far. Extracted with first 2 pugs, then died on wave 8 on 3rd one. Was probably due more to us picking classes that didn't sync well, rather than poor playing on anybody's part.

I'm on Origin, always looking for more friends. ID is Armorat.

Had a horrible first group which failed at the end of Wave 3 because no one bothered to Medigel when they died to stupidity, and then I got husked from behind followed by magnet hands.

Second group I joined, I had 3 good players that used their consumables on Firebase Giant, we moved like a team and the other 3 knew their classes. It was quite amazing really, especially considering we didn't use the voice chat (or if they did, I don't know, I turned off the sound of other players). Smooth and full extraction as well. Had a few hickups on the Wave 10 hacking objective, but with missiles and solid performance, we got those revives going and enemies going down.

My favourite part by far was when we were clumped up at the extraction point in waves 8, 9 and 11 and enemies kept coming, and we held the line. The co-ordination was nothing short of great. The only perm-death occured to magnet hands on wave 10 when I got grabbed and the missile that was shot hit half a second too late to ressurect me.

Great pugs exist and if you want to make them greater, co-ordinate by voice chat (I know, I am a hypocrite since I do not use it) and make sure the people that is going is geared and skilled.

Don't give up!

I actually like to complete a squal goal with randoms, but heck... some of these guys do not even have missiles or medi-gel, nevertheless we got extracted

[d_nought]

I have a lot of luck by breaking off from the group and keeping the escape routes clear. Generally, games are always the worst when everyone is within sight of each other and focusing fire on the bosses. If you see that happening, make sure to run away and go for the Marauders and Ravagers. Try not to get downed lol.

I hate that people kick others because they have a low N7 rating...how stupid is that.
