Hey Folks,

I wonder how many of you prefer the comradarie of a few regular indiviuals to play MP with, or do you prefer the randomness of drop in lobbies?

Alternatively, how much of a mix of the above do you have in your MP play?

Cheers

I usually play with randoms, but if a friend invites me I'm more than willing to join their game, as long as I finish this game too.

What's up with the secretive intel gathering.....?

People I know >>>>>>> randoms. If there are no people from mf FL online, I'll rather solo.

I play with pugs and friends when they are online. Most of the time there will be pugs in my lobby

PUGz is where its at Derek, mainly for the fact that it forces you to be a better player when you have no clue what your teammates are doing/capable of

I prefer friends, but I play with randoms a lot.

I wonder if these questions somehow have something to do with the next DLC... I wonder...

Groups of people you know will ALWAYS be more fun, simply because you know what you're getting into, you can strategize, theorize and have an all round good time.

PS: Could you speak to someone about getting the community an online copy of that image teased at Montreal Comicon, please? Would do great to spark up some conversation over the forums.

I prefer playing with friends, especially on higher difficulties.

I enjoy random games as well at times. But it would be nice not to be dropped into a game at the end of wave 10/11.

Regulars. But you can always get a laugh on random, occassionaly.

I only get the chance to play with my group on weekends anyway.

Basically this. I get the feeling we're going to get a challenge soon that has something to do with either playing with friends or randoms.

Randoms. Join the game whenever you want, finish the game whenever Origin loses connection you want.

I've a few good friends that I'll join up with at the drop of a hat. They're all in other states, countries and timezones though. I play most of my games with random folks in random matches, sometimes jumping in and out of lobbies all night.

I'd say it's about a 2:1 Random:Regular for me.

Well, generally I prefer to play with people on my friends list, mostly so I don't end up thrown into Firebase White Geth...

I would like both to be viable options though, I like playing with randoms because it shakes things up. Sometimes you'll end up in an awful group but then sometimes you'll find some really good players and stick with them for a while, and maybe send a friend request.

I like both it's just that finding games with randoms can take forever if you don't want to join the farmers.

Randoms, every match feels much different than the last.

Both are funny because in fact, at least 40 or 50% of the time when I go for random games I find someone who know me or someone that I know, also guys from my friend list, but most of the times people from BSN :P

That's why I also enjoy random games.

Games with friends are funny always, because they have also some kind of my madness ( I like to do crazy experiments always )


All kinds of weird experiments like lvl 1 platinum with commom weapons, only flamer games, make a Krogan inmortal with the support of other characters, etc etc etc etc.

I almost exclusively play with friends, I only PUG when no one of them is online (luckily that's a rare case).

I hate randoms, if I do PUGs, I only do silver. It's just too frustrating on the higher difficulties.

All randoms. More challenge to it and variety. Regulars just do the same old crap over and over. They even keep maps and notes of spawn points. I worry that their psychological issues will rub off on me.

Spawn control is for sissies.

I very much prefer playing with friends.

However, given the amount of time I play this game, I end up playing with randoms more often than I would like to.

I think I prefer a nice mix of both. I'm on xbox so with randoms, it's nice when I can get the homeschooled kids to start talking and the Madden players to stop talking.

But with your buds it's great because the MP really comes to life with teamwork. Weapon, power and character synergy is quite something in this game once it gets going.
