Depends on what kind of adventure I feel like

[Gashie]

Now 100% random and still enjoying it. On PC.

[sonofabumdooda]

prefer regulars although chats about dress colours (not sure how I get invloved in them) and cartoons can get in the way a bit...'sorry got fisted by banshee to busy talking about new starship troopers' etc...
but mostly play PUGs and 99% of them are enjoyable.

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

HA!

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

Easy answer: friends

You wouldn't believe the stunts some of the randoms sometimes perform in a game.

Not participating in a Hack or in a Drone Escort is only some of the minor stuff that makes you wonder.

I only play with randoms if really NOBODY of my friends is online or their lobbies are already completely full.

[TheGreatDayne]

I prefer randoms... Since they are random, it means that the match can go on randomly! I love randomness!! Most of my friends don't play this game anymore, so yeah...

But, random is still my preferred mode of playing. It is awesome to see the teamwork between stangers... There was this one time where everyone but me had a mic, and they communicated... It gave me fuzzies to hear them communicate... I almost wanted to plug in my mic to join in, but I was lazy... Ah, memories...

Playing with Friends I know they've got my back and I can be a bit more reckless.
Playing with Randoms makes me a better player because I know I need to consider my environment and the enemies a bit more (since I don't know what the skill level of the randoms is going to be.

Each experience is very different (randoms vs friends) so I've come to value them both.

[kouzrah]

I haven't been able to play with friends yet. I made only a couple of contacts but each time I tried playing with them, it wouldn't work.

So I'm only playing with randoms and so far I enjoy it. The unpredictability adds a little thrill to the games, the same way you always stay too close to a banshee just for excitement.

Pretty much this. Teamwork and camaraderie between total strangers is great to see. A nice change up from almost every competitive multiplayer out there. I play Bronze and Silver and most of the matches I've play are totally silent but even then there is that fun and appreciation in the unspoken, mutual understanding that we help each other. There have been some bad matches but the vast majority are good fun.

I have barely enough friends playing this game to make a 4 man squad and that is assuming we can all get on together. Although, if I did have a regular team of friends that liked to switch up classes, playstyles, tactics, etc. I think I would have just as much fun as in the PUGs.

[Alijah Green]

PUGs more then regs, my best and worst games have been with the Pugs

[Tonymac]

I play with my girlfriend when she is not swamped in uni projects. I play with a few good friends - and we do randoms - with random people. Sometimes these randoms are amazng and a lot of fun - and sometimes we just 2 people clear stuffs because you end up mad at randoms.

[J0HNL3I]

Two randoms and 1 guy i know so i know theres someone who has my back (normally)

[megabeast37215]

I only play with Randoms about 10-15% of the time... because it just becomes alot of writing down details that need to be included in an email to Mr. Tse concerning all these rocket glitchers in the random lobbies... and the high N7 leaderboards chasers who tag along with them.

I play with friends almost exclusively.

[Frozen Mind]

I prefer to play with friends, but not many of them have ME3 or still play it. So... PUGs.

[RinpocheSchnozberry]

I always PUG. Maybe a dozen times since launch I've been in a PUG that has stuck together for 3-5 matches, but that's about it.

always random PUGs, i dont have any xbox friends *insert forever alone meme jpg here*

I've added two whom I had a gold match with but we're never playing me3 at same time. I just added two guys yesterday, let's see if we invite each other to matches, Would prob help if i had a mic that worked.

funnily enough, one of them tried adding me to a game last night, but i was mid wave 1 of a game and didnt want to abandon the PUGs. i tried adding him to a game later but he was prob busy by then. so i guess a reunion was not meant to be 

[GriM_AoD]

There's always at least one or two randoms in mine and my friends lobby, unless we want more of a challenge and go for duo attempt.
I like playing with randoms though, as their class/playstyle/skill are (you guessed it) random, which can be interesting, though most people don't use mics (xbox) you still get teamwork.
But even if you appear to be in a good group, it completely disbands almost every single time after a match, which is a bit strange as it'd take longer to load back to menu and try find another. I can use my hands to count the number of groups that have stuck together for 3 or more games, and I've played MP since about 2 weeks from release.
But it doesn't beat playing with a good friend, as they're not out to prove a point and top the scoreboard but there to work WITH you, and you also get to laugh/joke in a way you don't get to with randoms

[Malachaai]

 I happily play with randoms if my friends aren't online.  Doesn't take much more than a "Thank You" on being revived a few times to start chatting.  More often than not, play styles don't gel, but once in a while I find someone I work well with, and that's really awesome

My closest friends, the people I play with most often, were all randoms I met in PUGs. 

[Dream-Maker]

I like both, but I think playing with randoms regularly rather than with good players I know helps improving my skills in general.

[Keevah]

I like it both ways, its not like I have a choice, still new and very few friends.
Randoms for trying to find new friends, and well friends for fun.
It just bugs me that I'll be disconnected on wave 10 with randoms, then I cant get back in.

[Heldarion]

I pretty much only play random, but now I occasionally private with some great players that I met while playing.

[Aanorith]

I like playing with randoms since its more unpredictable. But I most certainly enjoy playing with my buds as well knowing it will go smoothly. I still want both.

[Catastrophy]

Well, my GT is Caustic_Agent but my forum name tells what I like.
Seriously, I had some folks I ran matches with and they are the best to do nice Gold runs. I also like to stick with buddies and save their asses.
But I really like random groups, too. Anything can happen there.

Nowadays, usually one of my kids/a friend and I with two randoms, or with more Origin friends and less/no randoms. For the first few months I couldn't host, so it was learning the ropes in PUGs, and I still enjoy doing that (except that I now host) when I'm in a Bronze mood.
