Snap. Real-life comparisons like this one on the Internet are always a strong argument.

Nope, full video or it never happens (in a legit way) I have a Shadow level 20 with good settings and she is not that fast killing bosses. I think that the reason of my doubt is because of the time it takes to finish the match.

You pick enemies that stray of the ball of death and Vancouver is pretty big, so it is easy to pick on targets that stray

The number of little guys in Platinum is very low. It's almost all bosses. He needs to take down an Atlas in 10 seconds tops to have any chance. Especially when he has NO SURVIVABILITY AT ALL.

Also even little guys travel in groups of 2 or 3. If you attack 1, the others will attack you and put you down in 2 seconds. And he decloaks after SS. 

Not argueing against redjohn (I've duo with him), not a fan of Air Quotes (he used to complain about useless stuff iirc... ) but this time I'd suggest you stop wasting your time argueing with him, he argures like he's done solo and has more experience than some of the best players here, when in fact, he doesn't even have the reegar at lvl 10 or Krysae for that matter. 

Not that manifest means a lot, but for me I have every weapon and I have tested them soloing myself, especially some of the OP ones (namely reegar krysae) and I know what DPS they can output, these days I either solo or speed run platinum (about 130k per 15 min), and I've burnt at least 5 repec card on the shadow, equally or more on the slayer and so on. I also have full video showing me soloing with a phoenix guard in 21 min (my sig) and drell. 

Why am I saying this? let me ask you, whose words weigh more? a player's experience goes as far as his rare-incomplete manifest, or players who have demostrated great experience and skills, such as Specter (just check out his channel, nuff said), Stardusk (who spent plenty of time testing builds and weapons to make guides), Mandalore (fastest platinum speed run, gold run before) and myself with every single weapon at lvl X. 

I'm a friend of RedJohn too, and I used to take his words for it, but this time after hearing out many great players opinions (and my own experience), I want to learn a thing or two about how to clear it so fast in that situation, build, map, enemies, without depleting consumables. It's not about fame e-peen whatever, it's about learning, improving our own, and teaching less experience players, clearing up blind foolishness (@lastlife). 

Well guess I have too much time, peace.

Good job Redjohn. I was waiting for your platinum shadow solo. Very impressed.

Never mind the skeptics, they probably aren't familiar with your frequently stated lag issues and reputation of not BS'ing people.

Hmm; very convenient that his ping rating keeps him from playing with anyone or recording his solo runs effectively.. . if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck.. it is a cheating duck. "Occam's razor is a principle urging one to select from among competing hypotheses that which makes the fewest assumptions(wikipedia.com)." Considering all the points that were brought up here in this post, the hypothesis that he cheated makes the fewest assumptions and to ame at least appears to be the correct conclusion. 

There have been several ideas on how he can get a wave 10 objective recorded and I believe that having an additional teamate there just to record would def work.

So Redjohn lets see it man! It will silence all your critics and prove once and for all youa re not blowing smoke.

The stuff he does, pretty much miracles. Specter cannot do that and he is better player by leagues.

How are you sure that specter is a better player ? how you measure the skill on mass effect ?

I've seen Specters full videos of solos and speedruns with groups. And he's awesome. I've seen Stentron solos and groups, played with him - he's awesome.

Never seen a full RedJohn video.

Then don't believe me, I can live with that .

Ok, my vids are ****, my pc is ****, also my internet is ****.

I play near 30 FPS without recording, in some maps ( white, glacier ) I can reach 30-33 FPS, while recording that number goes down to 11-14 ( best cases ) and 5-10 ( normal cases ).

Now, let's see this one. 
  or not that one, any other.

now my question, can you do that ?
I mean, you think if you play at 10 fps you will be able to do that?

Not trying to make anyone believe, in fact i don't care about it, but sometimes when I see people complaining I wonder if they wold be capable of play as I do with my fps's .



As I said before, i will try to record wave 10, but don't promisse nothing, platinum is too much enemies for be handled by my pc recording.

Uses 4 rockets to kill 6 banshees, wastes spec ops pack, kites enemies. Speeds up the video framerate. Still takes 3 minutes to finish wave 10.

Typical RedJohn video.


I do not even think you cheat. I think you lag so bad that the enemies do not do any damage half the time. Meh, who cares. Without a proper video your claims have no validity.

Johnny don't care. He's too busy having fun with his girlfriend!

[Achire]

I don't really have an opinion either way, but if Redjohn can play with other people I'm not really seeing why someone else couldn't die and record as has been suggested. It wouldn't be perfect due to bad ping, but surely it'd be easier than trying to play at 10 FPS.

The fraud is obvious. I wouldn't touch his build with a 10 ft pole. He is not going to post a full match because he can't do it, due to his "connection" and he's not gonna have someone join because of "connection". Convienant alibi or, you can't physically do it without some type of mod/cheat/exploit and you don't want to be exposed. Imo you really are not a solo god and infact you do not have the ability to solo-not a big deal, I can't solo platinum-so for your sake just come clean.

I don't know what I am talking about (specially from my phone where I can't post my sources and there is no auto spell check to save my third language skills).

I think having a subpar PC can indeed make some games easier (just as the opposite can happen), so I think it could be RedJohn case, however, those that claim he should upgrade his PC or he will be forever a pariah, ****** me off; we live in a ****ty country, yeah it has good things, but there is no way we can just blow our savings to upgrade our PCs or get uber expensive internet just to play a game, we don't roll like that, we have much more important things (like eating or saving money for the unexpected (god forbid you get sick with something bad).

I think it comes down to this, the system flags anyone that maxes their UR within the first 72 hours (or something like that) of a released DLC and they are aware that Redjohn has done that after every DLC and he has yet to be banned.

If bioware with all their tools have not banned RedJohn, who are you to question his legitimacy?

If you think he is a crook, and a liar, just report him, if he gets banned then you will get what you wanted (proof that he cheated) if he doesn't you better shut up.


Disclaimer: it is entirely possible that the low frame rate in Redjohn Pc makes solos eaiser, but that isn't exactly cheating.

[capn233]

What tools does Bioware even have for anti-cheat? The system is mainly reporting. I doubt they get to examine your local coalesced file.

Just sayin'.

[PDHoops]

I really want to beleive this is totally on the level I'd like to say that first and foremost...

...but a lot of compelling rational arguements against here.

If anything the vid refered to actually made me more sceptical. As someone pointed out 4 missles on wv 10 with a Krog tank on GOLD. yet on platinum with a shadow theres at least one left by extraction? What was done against the massed banshees earlier and on wv 10? . How were the objectives done? None are particuarly easy on platinum. Hack and escort can be instant doom for a whole team.

Also sorry to say, but this (below) - almost sounds to me like the typical throw away comment of someone who's been rumbled.

This is hardly a compelling argument. I sleep, i go out, spend too much money on GF (which is why im stuck on Ps3 and have a PC about as old). I suspect a lot of others on here do the same,  but we dont post the very end of solo runs which people are, understandably, questioning and try and deflect the issue when we're called out over it.  Personally if someone was effectively calling me a liar i wouldnt find it funny and shrug it off and have a laissez-faire attitude to it - unless its true. I can understand if a PC chugs along at a miserable frame rate, but Airquotes suggestion is perfectly valid and easily done. And if connection is lost at 9/10 so what. if people can see 8 waves having not used any consumables I think its acceptable to beleive 9/10 and extraction would be doable...

They claim the tools are more than that and can check plenty of things, however they refuse to disclose how their tools work and with good reason.

You have to take their word (or cheat like a madman and see if you caught).

[DaDiddles]

I really don't care if OP is "legit" or not. But from the videos I've seen, nothing in any of them helps me in any way to play the game better. So... I don't really see the point in them.

For example, the Krogan Soldier video is mostly him using rockets and running away. The increased speed of the video makes it difficult to even tell what's going on. I also don't quite understand the choice in build. What's the point of going full melee if he doesn't seem to use it? Wouldn't full HP/Shields be better for his strategy? Particularly the quicker shield regen?

The Shadow video isn't much of a help either. I couldn't even see the shots fired from the Geth Hunters, so how can I tell that he's actually dodging them? Again, I'm not questioning legitimacy, because I don't really care, I'm just saying that how can I, as an observer, learn how to dodge hunter shots better when I can't even see the hunter shots in the video?

If I tried any of the things I've seen in RedJohn's videos, I would almost certainly die. I've successfully used Blades/Incendiary Grenades combo to permanently stun geth, but it doesn't work all the time, since any single stray shot from a Prime or Hunter can start the dreaded stunlock to death scenario (coupled with the fact that Geth Hunters can shoot while stunned and the strategy becomes problematic). I check out RedJohn's video of the Batarian Soldier, and he does pretty much what I do, except he can apparently do it with enough consistency to solo gold/platinum with it. Obviously there's something I'm missing or doing wrong, but since his videos are so short and so laggy, it's impossible for me to find the missing pieces.

So again, I don't really see the point. Aside from arguing whether or not the videos are legitimate, what is even the point of this 9-page thread?

Seriously don't even bother with Air Quotes.  It's seriously pointless.  The guy has been dead wrong on some things and still wont admit it, even when there was proof in the thread.

He has this little realm of reality, anything outside of it is summarily dismissed.  Or he is a troll.  Either way...

You can play with a normal Coalesced

Yeah I imagine this would work.

There are people that play the game modded for more difficulty and they aren't getting banned... although that clearly isn't an advantage.
