 EDIT: posted some pictures of my first match on page 3 in this thread. 

Allright, so I have now played this game for a little while and done a lot of bronze and a medium amount of silver as well. Haven't really tried gold yet but I've heard people say that gold and platinum are similar to each other only that platinum's got a few more bosses and such.

I haven't really solo'd bronze yet but I have managed to get past wave 6 on bronze by myself, so I guess that's pretty good right? So now I want to try platinum and I don't want to make a fool of myself so any advice you guys (or girls) can give me would be much appreciated 

classes:

My favorite class on bronze and silver is the Human Engineer but I don't know if he is platinum valid? I don't have any points in fitness cause I very seldom die anyway, would it be wise to put points in fitness if I would use this class on platinum?

I do believe however that I will go with the Geth Infiltrator the first time on platinum since I've seen that a lot of guys prefer to use this class (speedruns and such). As of now my build is 6/0/6/6/6, so I have no points in proxy mines, could this be a good build to use?

Weapons:

I prefer to use something light so I maximize my cooldown. If I go with the Geth Infiltrator, what weapons would you recommend that is light and effective? I would probably go for Locust or Raptor, but maybe I could use a heavier assault rifle like the Striker instead? Haven't really tried the Striker that much but it really kicks ass on bronze!

Equipment:

Here is where I have a hard time choosing what to use. Obviously I want to have the Structural Ergonomics as Gear and Power Efficiency Module since it reduces cooldown on my GI (meaning I can use cloak more often). But what about the other equipment cards? I was thinking Cryo Rounds to weaken armor and slow enemies down on platinum would be very effective? Also the Targeting VI can make the Locust and Raptor even more deadly if I score headshots (which I am very good at!)?

Summary:

Well, there you have it. I really don't want to get carried or anything in my first platinum match so I really would like some suggestions about the classes, powers, weapons and equipment that I'm thinking of using.

I also hear a lot about "reload canceling" and how effective that is on platinum but I don't know how to do it. Would it really improve my DPS on the Raptor and Locust that much? And by the way, should I even bring two weapons or should I only bring one weapon because of the cooldown? 


Kind regards,

Mr. Confused

From your post... you're not ready for Platinum. I doubt you're ready for Gold, but you can always give it a try.

But I am a good player, I can often carry my team on both bronze and silver, I mean, I can't solo bronze yet but it is co-op and I am not planing on solo platinum or anything.

Is platinum really that much harder than gold? I have seen how people do platinum within 20 minutes all the time on this forum? Doesn't seem that hard to me

If your idea of being efficient with a GI is not using proxy mines while using cooldown equipment for cloak paired with raptor or locust then you probably shouldn't play platinum.

[Jay_Hoxtatron]

OP, you're trolling right?

[darkpassenger2342]

so, geth infiltrator, with full fitness and no proxy mines, with a locust and raptor/striker, with structural ergonomics and cryo ammo...
Please dont try platinum until you have a better grasp of this game.
thats the best advice i can give you.

Why? 

I have used that combination on bronze and silver a lot and it is really really good.

Yes OP is trolling.

Maxed rares etc. = obvious troll. That's why I told him to hide his manifest next time.

Thought so too. Was nearly fooled though

Can you please explain to me why that would be a bad combination? You really want to have a low cooldown in this game so you can use powers more often (like tactical cloak).

I do not, I have just played a lot of bronze and silver during the last month (almost 24/7) and I have also been using a lot of real money to buy packs from the store. I wanted to have most of the weapons, classes and gears before I started playing so the first thing I did was to spend some money to get my levels up.

 now that i know you were kidding i won't bother elaborating..
 im not mean spirited so i wasnt going to go off like some people do lol.
its obviously a well thought plan of terrible choices.
theres no way someone could possibly make EVERY bad decision about how to play a GI.

Now I am sad, everyone seems to think I'm trolling just because I decided to use real money to buy packs and stuff.

I mean, if I were trolling wouldn't I hide my manifest like one of the posters here suggested?!

6/6/6/6/0 Build on N7 Demolisher, Focus on 65% Power Damage, SS for Ammo resupply and 15% Power Damage, Both Grenades go for DOT versus + Capacity, equip with Harrier and Claymore for CQB with reload cancel.

I play platinum exclusively with this build, I never play gold/silver/bronze anymore.

Yeah and if you had hidden your manifest we wouldn't be able to see that you've been playing since launch. (11 promotional weapons unlocked).

*sigh*, yes, I have had this game since launch, never said anything else in my posts. All I said was that I have been playing a lot lately and that I haven't really tried gold, I have however done it when there was a weekend challenge, but that is not trying to play serious on gold, it's just trying to get the challenge done.

So now, can anyone please help me? Maybe it was a mistake to ask for advice on this forum <_<

I tried Demolisher on bronze and silver (although I had 6 points in fitness on that one) but never really liked it. What do you think about Human Engineer or Geth Infiltrator?

Also, how do I reload cancel? That was one of the questions in my first post.

Use the N7 shadow with no tactical cloak with the Locust.

Now you are just trolling me right? I would never use an Infiltrator without tactical cloak

Press reload button, then as soon as the ammo counter is refilled, cancel the rest of the reload animation by pressing another button - which button will depend a bit on your character, but most on Xbox use the sprint/cover button (esp on characters like the Kroguard, which has no dodge).

No. Tactical cloak is an overrated power. You don't need it on platinum because you need to spend more time shooting less time cloaking.

Ehh, okey, I though the whole point of tactical cloak was to give you more damage when you shoot and also help with objectives and revives 

But say that I believe you and try the Shadow without tactical cloak, would I still need gear and equipment to maximize cooldown or could I use something else instead?
