That it doesn't matter what difficulty level you're playing... if you're playing with randoms someone will get grabbed by banshee at least once.

And if you are on bronze, it will be the N7 2000ish with the Reegar X every single wave.

I think you can tell pretty early on whether your team is going to get an extraction or not against Reapers.

If your squad-mates are running away from the first Banshee that appears, your probably not getting very far.

I beg to differ. I knew my team will fail, exactly when the bansees came out to play and my team started running TOWARDS them.

I learned to kite half the mobs around the map, so my team can dispatch the other half more easily.

The main lesson for me is that the Ravengers are the true feared enermy. They kill you more than anything else on the field, I ended up telling my team to focus fire on the Ravengers before the brutes and Banshee's if they could.

They always get you as you escape a mosh pit, its safer to be in the middle of brutes and banshee's than be on the side lines with Ravengers around.

I've learned that I'm a team player.
I've learned that I hate soloing waves.
I've learned that if I'm the best on the team it means trouble for me.
I've learned that I love Gold.

Drell adept and a xcerb adept can kill banshee by the pairs in seconds. and if everyone played the drell adept like Oblong74 the forum would be full of "NERF THE DRELL" threads.

Also, if we win the weekend, there are some people playing against cerbs and geth that don't deserve a victory pack.

When I'm topping the scoreboard/soloing waves, we're not going to make it past wave 10 on Gold.

Biggest thing for me from today is making sure my cap is locked on my protein shake.

Ran to make one up between a wave. Sat down, shook & it went everywhere

I've also learned that after this op I'm going to need access to a super mega jumbo equipment pack.

They think this because it's true.

I've learned:
1) As soon as Wave 10 comes around and it turns out to be a Hack (especially on FB Goddess), it's "ROCKETS! ROCKETS FOR EVERYONE!"

2) I've been very lucky when it came to PUGing Gold games this weekend. First game was with with a group of guys I've since added to my Friends List, who are sub-50 on the World Ranking for PS3. Second was with some people I wasn't overly comfortable with but we managed to complete FBW/R/G anyway. So Win!

This. I make sure that if I have less than 15 Missiles, I buy JEP.

Guess it depends on the make-up of the team you play in.

From what I found, everyone focus firing on the Banshees meant they went down really quickly. I guess it worked because there was always at least one heavy hitting class (i.e. Claymore Soldier) and we had numerous debuffs (i.e. tac scan and biotic sphere).

And if you have the Banshees under control, the rest of the Reaper forces are fairly manageable. Edit: I do have to admit that my opinion of Brute's and Ravagers as threats was definitely different due to mostly playing as a Claymore Soldier (and thus being able to kill them with a double shot).

Wave 10 hacking is definitely something I would agree with kiting though.

Whilst it may be true in some parts of the world, it's not on my side of the Atlantic. (Same with "whilst.")

In the United States, the best you're going to find are people who frown upon it but accept it. Most people would get out the red pen and cross it out, and replace it with something less pretentious, like "learned."

I've learned that Reapers/Glacier is my least favourite combo with randoms.

Proof that educational standards are considerably lower on your side of the Atlantic, I'd say. And maybe that job interviews are easier.

I lol'd pretty hard at this. Well played.

I learned that the Krogan Soldier is amazing. For some reason I had never played as one but goddamn, his inferno grenades are nasty.

Screw marauders and banshee warps! That's what I learned!

Today on Condor, I managed to finnish wave 9 whe the team died and get the last 4 point hack on my own on wave 10 when they all got grabbed, but used all my medigels and op packs by then. Managed to get down to the last 2 banshees and almost had them dead. Turn a corner and BAM! Turns out I missed a lone marauder who drops my shields and draws my attention for about 2 seconds. Turn to check on the banshees and BAM! Warp, dead!

[Zaxares]

I learned that it's actually possible to escape a Banshee's magnet hands! If you're far away enough that it takes more than a second for the rubber-banding to try and drag you back to the Banshee, it will release you (maybe the game sync decides you're too far away after all). It happened to me last night when I was playing Reapers Gold on Giant. I was on my lonesome at the top of the ramp after taking a few shots at a Banshee coming towards me. I legged it before it got too close, but then I found myself getting dragged back. "OhGodnoOHGODNO- Huh. It released me?" My teammates were all down in the 'valley' so it certainly wasn't someone that shot or BE'ed the Banshee that freed me.

These people, how they manage to be so godly awful in a 3 button game will never cease to amaze me, they make me not even want to play if friends aren't on.

Hunter Vision still hurts my eyes.

Power Amplifier Module III + Mental Focuser III makes Gold Brute armor melt like butter to Smash.

I'm Gold viable on a Human Engineer speced for crowd control.

I can almost carry a team of noobs on Silver while playing my "fun" (joke) Krogan Soldier.

if you can quickly atttack a bansehee with heavy melee when they grab a team mate they will drop them and give them a chance to escape

And grab you instead.
I've just learnt that banshees are pretty much the main way reapers can kill players, after 3 wipes consisting of 4 instakills.
Also learned that brutes aren't quite as laughable as I thought in melee combat. The problem is that while their porbability of instakilling is low, you have to be near them for quite a while if you're trying to kill them with melee, and it's more likely than not you'll get grabbed.

[Canned Madness]

A good way to deal with reapers is purging through fire.

[Rebel_Raven]

That none of my weapons are worth a damn vs Brutes, and Banshees.
