I've been seeing that quite a few times lately myself.  Geth always find new ways to ruin the game.

I agree they aren't fun at all to fight and since I really only do U/U/G or U/U/P there is always a loud groan when me and my friends get them as an opponent. I believe the stunlock thing is possible being addressed in the next patch if I remember a certain thread a while back correctly. I love how Primes can shoot through the smallest of cracks and hit you and I've had a rocket trooper shoot two rockets back to back at me WHEN HE WASN'T EVEN FACING ME

[Beerfish]

I will still play them but at times I share the frustration. I don't even get as tiocked off at their offensive silliness as much as their defensive silliness. Dodging biotic attacks no matter what from any angle and any distance. Hunters at times being totally invulnerable to anything but gun fire. Don't like their offense cheese but hate their defensive cheese.

The only thing that I don't like about geth is the perfect accuracy of primes.

This.

I don't know how I put up with the cheap tricks of hunters and rocket troopers, but I do. However, the day I actually stood several feet behind a solid wall because I'd spotted a Prime all the way across the map and didn't want to get stunlocked... the day I stood back behind that wall and actually visually witnessed the Prime's shot make a sweeping 90-degree banking turn like a jet fighter and hit me behind the wall from all the way across the map... that just really took the cake. To add insult to injury, one of his turrets then randomly spawned behind me and ended my confusion. By killing me. "I'm down!"

There is a reason why I became a DRUNK Turian Sentinel, folks...

I will play the geth, but I prefer to be prepared for them and play them intentionally as apposed to pulling them in a UUG lobby. Not that they are difficult to play, but the are fun suckers with all their cheapness.

For me, Pryos are the most feared enemy in the game. In plat they can take you down in a half second of being under their flame. Even insta-kill animations take longer then that.

I had rocket CURVE AROUND this huge wall that I teleported trough as N7 Slayer.

Truely a WTF momment.

- Geth Primes can pull turrets out of their asses. Because of the brilliant shield gate mechanism, geth turrets are the deadliest units in the game. Way more dangerous than a big ass Atlas, that makes a lot of sense. As if it wasn't bad enough, Primes can put them in impossible spots, and dealing with them is frustrating because another one will spawn one second later. And they have two of them ...

Not only that, they can throw turrets in front of incoming Cobra missiles to save themselves.

Granted, it's pretty badass when it happens.

My personal favorite is when you dodge the projectile, but they decide it didn't count and you take the damage anyway.

[N7 Whiskey]

The stunlock against Krogans, Turians and Batarians is just cheap bullcrap. Krogans are supposed to be the most physically imposing & dominating species in the Milky Way, yet 2 Geth Hunters can turn a Krogan into a tree stump.

One other incredibly cheap thing about the Geth that I don't see other people mention is that cloaked Hunters cannot take melee damage, yet when you are cloaked the Geth have not problems hitting you with elbows, rockets and plasma cannon shots.

That said, the incredible cheapness of the Geth be attributed to the FBWGG farmers. Geth Silver is harder than Geth Gold was at launch, all in an attempt to keep a small percentage of the player base from farming credits. Funny thing is all they had to do was add permanent spawn point behind the farmers on one map.

That's awesome too! XD

Or enemy troops who can shoot trough cover sometimes when they shouldn't be able to.

[Rockpopple]

A lot of those problems seem attributed to lag. Are you hosting these games?

But yeah, I feel your pain, brah. Geth are mega-cheap. Probably cuz they don't have any sync-kill units or grenades so maybe it's to compensate for that. Personally I prefer the grenades and sync-kills. Wait, forget that last part.

Also, why can Marauders roll but Turians can't? Riddle me that!

Rocket Curve yeah I see that crap all the time... Primes curving the bullet? That's a bit much. I better start seeing Angelina Jolie in this game if I'm going to have to keep dealing with that crap.

I wholeheartedly disagree.  The cheapness of geth is the fault of BW alone.  You just gave one of many easy solutions to the FBWGG problem.  Instead BW made geth jawdroppingly broken for legit players while FBWGG is going as strong as ever.  Months later, they haven't even commented on the epic fail.

Using disruptor ammo on them helps a lot. It stuns all the units except the prime. But yeah, they are cheap as hell.

What good is it when they don't actually be stunned?  I have stunned pryo's, hunter's, rocket troopers and I can even see the arms flailing yet they are still able to shoot or even worse throw the elbow of doom.  At this point I will not pruposely play a geth game and it is about 70/30 I will just leave before wave 1 even starts if it is a geth draw.

[Rudest]

I hate fighting Geth so much. It's the stun locking for me.

Hey I just met you

This is crazy.

Geth are cheaters

U/C/G maybe?

Hahaha I was not expecting such a hilarious post.

As for the OP, I completely agree with your post and have experienced all of what you mentioned. The one thing that pisses me off the most of all those reasons is the Geth shooting out of their asses such as the Geth Prime crapping out turrets. Another thing is what I like to call the "Plasma Minigun Cannon" where you have two or more Geth Primes blasting you with their combined shots making it look like they have a high rate of fire.

My prescription, Krogan.....oh and the male/female human engineer, that little drone makes an excellent troll device against the geth especially if you also use overload.

[mumba]

Is this a joke? Geth are easy...

[ImNewbieSauce]

The problem with the geth is that a few special classes or circumstances make them laughable.

Fbw counter obviously.
Defensively specced kroguard laughs at geth on all difficulties.
Arc nades laugh at geth
QFI laughs at geth
Etc...

My point is, a few classe or situations wreck geth so bad, that it probably makes it hard to balance them.

Dont get me wrong, my turian soldier knows if he gets hit by one hunter he is dead, and that stinks, but its probably hard to balance.

[Nissun]

Hey bioware,

Turns out that giving the geth Super Player-Killing Cheat Powers hasn't fixed farming at all! Could you revert them back to how they were before (just a bit), so that they are fun to play again? You know, for people that like to play other maps on Gold?

thanks for your attention,

Nissun


PS: I sincerely hope the most recent "glitches" I've seen on Phantoms are not a symptom of Cerberus suffering the same fate as the geth (getting ultra-cheaty power boosts). Since, you know, everybody plays them now.

You forgot one thing... Geth hunters can shoot you while they are staggered by your powers/weapons.

[RavenousBear]

I have raged many times due to their cheap mechanics and the Prime's sniping skills. However, it just gives me more pleasure in destroying them as I have evolved some of my builds to destroying the Geth.

Besides the Kroguard with the Reegar Carbine, infiltrators with Claymores/Piranhas, and other popular builds, try an engineer with the Falcon and disruptor ammo (I use the FQE). I will stun lock groups of Geth units before they can attack me and finish them off with a tech burst or just blast them with the Falcon. I am giving them a taste of their own medicine.

[Najarati]

Geth are definitely aggravating to fight against for all the aforementioned reasons. Sabotage helps a bit, but still, the cheapness gets old fast.
