This is the great RedJohn that we're talking about here...
1. RedJohn doesn't farm. He solo Platinum on U/U/P with a Locust X for kicks.
2. I don't believe you. Anyone else, yes. But not RedJohn. He doesn't just die 3 times on wave 1. You might have gotten him mixed up with another player on the team.
3. Hey. Watch your language around RedJohn. He is God and I am his disciple... Show some respect, plebian mortal...
I know you're kidding, but maybe you have no idea how bad RedJohn's connection is. I've played a few Platinum games with him and his character is seemingly in permanent stutter. With bad enough lag (ever played with Eastern European hosts who have less than 100Kbps upload speed?), anyone will die a lot of unnecessary deaths.
RedJohn did die quite a bit in my games with him (Wave 1 deaths included.) But even with all that lag, he's a solid teammate who knows what he's doing. And it's great to see him still want to play games after games with such a bad connection. I leave after one game when I have minor lag with the host.

Well that's your problem right there only people that can't survive on plat need to be GI. If I can survive as a Female Quarian Engineer on plat you could certainly survive as a BS (if you have any skill or brains at all)

The fact that ballistic blades got buffed indicates to me that not many people are playing batarian soldier I guess. I don't know why, they are such a powerful class.
I commonly play melee classes, and in a lot of ways I prefer batarian soldier to krogans. They feel like a more tactical melee class than krogan do. I use a 6/6/3/5/6 build on him. I haven't figured out how to play him full melee on platinum yet (since you go down so fast) but on gold he can run around causing massive damage and crowd control with his ballistic blades while popping heads the whole time.
I couldn't imagine playing him melee without blade armor. That dmg reduction from both blade armor and heavy melee are invaluable to his survival when punching groups of guys to death..

If it were a farming lobby, I completely agree with the guy who told you to switch class.

Kicking a Batarian Soldier form Platinum? But.. but Inferno Grenade! Inferno Grenades on ALL the things!
The Batarian Soldier is a walking pile of exploding, fiery, AOE awesomeness.. how could anybody not love him?

Batarian Soldier is the only class with which I've repeatedly outscored Piranha GI's on Platinum. Anyone who would kick someone for using one of the strongest classes in the game is a moron. Period.

Seriously though, I can get that. But that's hardly a reason to call one of the best anti-crowd characters unfit for Platinum.
...And I really like the beat-up, worn down look of his armor.

Didn't know i was psychic...
/boldI think the only reason people hate bats are because they aren't necessarily farming characters... plus the stunlock vs geth problems.
And... the fact the other 3 were GIs...
and it was a farming match...
And OP plays X-box...

Only thing I don't like about the Bat Soldier is against Primes if you ever get stunlocked you're screwed. That shouldn't be much of a factor with a good player though.RedJohn wrote...
Today I was playing platinum in randoms games as I normaly do when I don't have friends to play with, so I was playing, having fun etc, but then I got into a lobby that the guy said "Oh come on change that stupid Batarian Soldier, we don't allow Batarian Soldiers here, so change it or gtfo of here".
I told him that I won't change my character because he was impolite and because Batarian is good, then he yelled at me and vote to kick so I decided to leave.
I don't understand why people thinks that Batarian is bad, when in fact is one of the best characters in the game, perhaps they think that because Batarian also requires skill, lot of it, and too many of them can't do sh*t with it.
Anyway, something similar happened to some of you? , is Batarian good, bad?, platinum worthy?, what is not platinum worthy?, WHY?, where is my juice?

I agree, the BatSol is great on Gold/Plat, especially against Reaper enemies or Cerberus. But I always end up choosing my Human Soldier or Destroyer when I play a soldier :innocent:.
Human race will prevail!!

I avoid Cerberus with my Batarian Soldier because he can't stagger Phantoms with Ballistic Blades
Blades will stagger a Phantom. If you spec them right you can kill a Gold Phantom with exploding ballistic blades and a heavy melee.

As for the Batarian Heavy Melee
Build: http://narida.pytalh...9@0@A@@M4K4@0@0
For everything that isn't an Atlas/Prime/Brute/Ravager/Banshee:
Single Graal shot that WILL stagger the enemy (even Phantoms are guaranteed to stagger), headshots preferably of course for tougher targets, soft targets like basic Troopers body shots only if you want to use melee to build up the melee-kill damage bonus, or simply a headshot to kill them outright.
Tough targets get staggered and are open for a heavy melee. A single Graal shot plus a augmented heavy melee can kill a Phantom on Gold. Depending on how you modded the Graal it doesn't eve need to be a headshot, just a random body shot+heavy melee=head asplode.
For potentially dangerous oponents like the Phantom, I recommend first a Ballistic Blades attack, then a follow-up Graal shot (be sure that if the initial BB staggered the enemy, you wait for the animation to finish before you shoot, so it will get staggered again), then heavy melee. Phantom is dead, guaranteed.
And for tougher targets like the boss enemies I had listed above, simply shove some spikes up their hide, the Graal is plenty powerful by itself. Inferno Grenades are for the occasional pyromaniac spetacle when lots of enemies are clustered together.
edit://
The batarian heavy melee animation gives some really tasty damage reduction for the duration of the attack plus stagger immunity. So if that Brute is charging you, just time it right and you will stand your ground AND punch it in the face, migitating lots of damage, avoid being staggered and possibly make one of the most gratifying kills in the game (come at me bro-FIST), same with Banshee novae, if you see here charging up for her nova attack, simply heavy melee her, you get a free shot at her when she can't grab you, you recieve less damage and avoid the stagger.
Batarian Soldier melee build is a real brawler!

Batarian soldier + Reegar/Wraith/Eviscerator/Piranha will mow stuff down on any difficulty.
Gamemako can't stagger a phantom with ballistic blades... Back to your spreadheets for calculating balance for you then!

Off topic question, but what mods do you (or other Graal users) use for the Graal? I never use it because I rarely host games, but I like the Batarian Soldier, and it seems like the Graal would work awesome with him. High Caliber Barrel is a given, but I don't know about the other mods. I would think the Extended Mag would be good. Also, I don't know whether the Shredder mod or the Smart Choke actually do anything on the Graal.Neofelis Nebulosa wrote...
