YES I FINALLY DID IT!!!

I've been trying to get this operation the whole weekend. Well, I did like 50 matches on bronze, but still there was sth in my head that told me, maybe someone DID use a consumable. GOD!! So the last one I soloed bronze to be 100% sure. BTW, I got lucky, because I did tons of escorts. Almost every run I had one and sometimes two. Hope we will make it!!!

PS. BIOWARE!!! If you cannot make sth for us to check our individual progress on the operation, give the tools to ea chat support to check this out. I contacted them and they said they don't have the TOOL to check it.

I managed to solo bronze twice today, my first attempt ever at a solo. First time I used my Geth Engineer, died once & had to revive myself. No other consumables used, however not good enough for the Squad Goal. Second attempt I switched to the Demolisher & sailed through, no consumables. I'm not sure I would have attempted a solo if it had not been for this operation. Glad I did now, has given me more confidence in my skills at the MP.

Hmm. Played about 15 games this weekend. Only 2 of them had escorts. Must be unlucky.

If the rest of the community are pulling numbers as dismal as mine - Not sure we can pull this one out of our hats. Staying optimistic, however.

I've had barely any, either. I've played roughly the same number of games as you. I was expecting the majority of objectives in games to be escorts going into this weekend. Not the case. I'd be shocked if we completed that goal :huh:

maybe the new dlc will have to do with us failing the operation I wouldn't be too surprised if that was the case?

My guess was and still is that they'll announce new DLC after this operation.

Plus, I don't get you guys. I just played a few games. Had drone in every single one of them.
Once even had 2 drones in single mission.

I put in 12 hours of gametime from Friday through today. I literally only got 14 escorts the entire weekend. 14. In 12 hours of matches.

*sigh*

That's not that bad.  If my math's right, that was about 1:7-1:8, while pure statistics say you've got a 1:5 shot at getting an escort mission.  Seeing as it's random, that's not a huge departure.  Now, if it was only one time in those 12 hours, then that'd be something.

I haven't gotten an escort yet. Er, today, I mean. Condor, Goddess (twice), Ghost (twice), game locked up on Rio. Once more unto the breach!

Yeah, just felt disappointing because, before the operation started, I really was getting 2 escorts in one match a LOT. This weekend? No so much.

Well done! Yes, it's a buzz.
While I've done solo bronze before, I'd never tried it without consumables. So this operation pushed me into new territory as well.

Next job is to do the same on silver...:devil:

Kroguard, solo, bronze, Giant, Cerberus, cakewalk. Thankfully since I worked 30 hours this weekend. Not much playtime, so I only added 2 drone missions, sorry.

Tried to do it with a group of friends on FBW:G:G. Managed to complete all 10 waves with no one using any consumables. On wave 11, we lost the host somehow and the wave restart didn't work, so the match crashed with no end of mission screen.

I decided to solo bronze instead--1st try died on pizza delivery with a level 18 Destroyer during wave 6. Second try with a level 20 Shadow cruised through until wave 10 turned out to be the 4 hacking objectives. I have extended cloak so the first two weren't bad. #3 was near the ammo box at the bottom of the interior stairs in FBW, had to abort once to clear traffic out of the area. Last one was in the worst spot--at the bottom of the main ladder. I hit my cloak a few steps away from the hack (since they like to shoot at the last spot they saw you), tried to position into semi-cover and started hack with fingers crossed. Took some shots when the cloak wore off a few seconds before the hack was done, fortunately no Primes had a bead on me. Somehow weaved my way out finished the wave and extraction.

Definitely my first time beating Bronze solo without consumables. I usually pop a stim pack or pull out the missile launcher at some point.

Started off with 2 solo bronze. Bunch of Bronze, some definitely without consumables (everyone miked) the rest mostly maybe, some Silver that I think counted, no detectable item use.

I think the individual goal might save the community goal, considering the number of people doing at least one solo game 'just to be sure'. Each of my solo's had one drone mission, so I contributed 2 clear missions rather than an effective 2 quarters of a mission by doing it with a full team. Depending on how many people did solo's to ensure they qualified for the individual goal we might have did anywhere from a fifth to half of the 250,000 required missions within a few hours of the start!

If anyone is around, could use a little help getting this done. I feel silly not being confident enough to do a solo bronze but add me if you'd like to get this done tonight.

I disagree.  In fact, I'd say this is one of the hardest challenges yet in some ways. 

One: you have to rely on your other team mates to grow a pair ..er.. quad, and depend on each other and not use your Supplies. And yes, I understand the whole human nature element thing. .. We're not animals though (regardless of the crap they taught you in school.) We have CHOICE and WILL.  You want to be a real hero than a wannbe?  tough it out. Try hard and play as a team.

Two:  We have to play enough to overcome the odds of random escort goals.  And not knowing?  That's tough because we could get stuck with a fluke where we wind up with much fewer than average show up.  Which means we have to try as hard or harder than we did last challange.

This Weekend's challenge isn't for the lazy selfish gamer. :police:

lol, what a load of crap. I've been doing these challenges since they started them(as I'm sure many here have) and the only times they pull one out of their hat that is proper silly is when there is a DLC announcement in the pipeline. I played about a dozen games and saw 3 escorts, other people are pulling slightly better, others slightly worse, but let's say one in 5 games get's an escort?

That would be calling for 1.25 MILLION games played. Yeah, no. There are challenges that are fair challenges, and there are challenges that are a walk, this one is one of the rare times when they set the bar deliberately too high.
