I like how every single one of these speedrun threads turns into a pissing match between the people who actually speedrun and know the spawn mechanics, and the naysayers who wouldn't even get close to a similar time, and can't get past the fact that trying to break a speedrun record requires the use of the most powerful weapon/class combinations.

It's really amusing.

such is the way of bsn.

the devs sadly seem to follow the latter train of thought as well. that's the only answer i have for two (i believe, and very likely coming to three) weeks of boneheaded nerfs.

also, someone needs to put the pc team on a milk carton, they're nowhere to be found

Speaking of nowhere to be found, I'm pretty sure the 10 min barrier would already have been penetrated (giggity) if BioWare didn't nerf your X-Box

I barely saw the video and I didn't see your account details, when I told you that you're free to add me I wasn't aware of the different platforms and it was a honest offer, such a shame you keep bringing this kind of inmaturity to this discussion, really sad.

So you barely saw the video but decided to make bold sweeping statements on everyone and everything involved? Also failed to read the original post thats makes it quite clear that I'm on Xbox. Yet I'm the one being immature in this discussion. Nothing you have said or done seems very adult and the fact that you fail to realize any of this up to this point makes me realize there is no hope for you.

I dont visit this forum very often, but when I do, I pick something interesting and respond to it with stupid, ill informed trollish remarks, without even reading the OP and seeing what the thread is about, sorry again if you feel offended when other people sh!t on your accomplishments for no good reason, I still respect your opinion, but i can say whatever the hell I want and if you can't accept stupidity and ignorance, well, that's your problem.

There. Fixed it for ya.

Thanks, you made me laugh

[xGunKungFUx]

Nice one guys, that time is pretty damn impressive. If ya get below 10 min im sure bioware will blow up your xboxs like they did to Arelex lol.

GL on future runs

[nicethugbert]

Damn, Arelex, your team's making you look like a boat anchor! j/k

Grtz.

So, nerf the GI or QMI?

No way, nerf whichever weapon they're currently favouring.

You do realize that GI's are incredibly squishy. You need to know what you are doing to achieve their full potential. Otherwise be prepared to go down over, and over...

Plus the fact it's a co-op game, so there is no "cheapness".

No he is not. The people that are dying all the time dont put anything in fitness and run into spawns without thinking. Put 6 ranks in fitness and there is a huge difference.

6 ranks in fitness is overkill and you would have to forgo far better point allocations to have a full fitness build. I run a zero fitness build quite often. The geth infiltrator is quite squishy players must adjust to its low health and shields when Hunter Mode is activated. Hunter mode and Tac cloak help medigate both of these factors but inexperienced players can find it difficult.

If you put more than 4 points into fitness (assuming a 4/6/6/6/4 build), you are losing out on some damage somewhere which can make or break a speed run.

There's also a huge difference in the amount of damage you're dealing, as allocating 6 ranks to fitness would require skipping quite a lot of those weapon damage buffs that make the GI so supposedly OP.

I'm not saying there isnt. My point is that if spec'ed right he is not squishy. If you chose to skip on fitness evo's then of course he is going to be squishy. But then even with a 6/6/6/6/0 he has wallhack and TC will still allow him greater survivability than most of the other classes in the game. 

Full potential is also up to the player. You are still going to be dealing a lot of damage with a 4/5/5/6/6.

I love you.

You guys should use your thermal clips. That extra damage might help you save a few seconds.

I read the heading of the thread and thought "wow! nice, well done!...". Then I read the OP and LOL because who ever this guy is (or girl), wrote it believing he has reached the greatest achievement of his life.

You caught me! Now I'll go hide in some place dark for a while.

If you can't catch the sarcasm in the OP thats on you. its a friendly competition with PC and we like to poke fun at each other.

Good Job Xbox team, way to represent us consolers. Alright, I gave you guys a little praise but no more. I find speed running on the same map with the same class over and over to be, mmmm...what's the word, oh yeah- repetitive. It was tedious when I cared about credits and it's annoying now that I don't. But in all honesty I do think you guys are good, I just think your PC vendetta speed run challenge thing is quite lame; and based off of the PCer's last video I can deduct that they do too.

I'm sorry, i know this time is great and all, but i can't take these speedruns seriously anymore. Honestly most speedrun records i've seen (especially of late) involve GI, GI, GI, GI, a clearly op character In "my" opinion anyway. If you think my opinion is wrong then come back and beat your 10.09 min record with some other class and i will officially be wowed for the next 70 years of my life. Somehow i already know that this would be impossible.

[Mandalore313]

You just *had* to break it when I'm on vacation and a piranha nerf is inbound ?

I smell espionage. You had to know I'd be away to do this now >.<

Good run peasants! We shall meet again.

Alternately, you and three friends could try to see what time you could post with 4 GIs. There are plenty of threads showing speed runs and solos with various class and weapon restrictions (think I saw a batarians + mattock one once.) This one just says "speed record", so, yeah, they're going to use whatever's fastest.
