We got the DLC more than hour after the bigger part of the planet, so once I finally got it downloaded and installed, all my friends were in full lobbies and I only had time for a single game.

I geared up my Paladin (CQC) with level III/IV gear and picked Unknown/Collectors/Gold. It dropped me into an ongoing Goddess game at wave 3 pizza delivery. Had a bunch of things crowding the LZ, I was welcomed by a Posessed Abomination blowing up, knocking down my shields. When my vision and hearing returned, two players were out cold and the third fell on his face with the pizza just outside the dropoff circle.

I ran to him, used 2 ops packs, revived and get the hell out of there. He delivered the pizza, the second pizza appeared just in front of me at the doorway to the right of the LZ, so I grabbed it and delivered it. Then me and the other survivor proceeded to clean out the wave. 

So there was this strange glowing Abomination coming my way - easy prey, right? I get out my shield and: Smash - KABOOM! I was out cold. 

I think I don't need to mention I proceeded to kill the rest of the things very very carefully, using a lot of cover. Took some doing, but we cleared it. 

Round 4 - we got this!
About a minute into the round, the host quits or gets disconnected. Ok, we can do it with just the three of us for a bit, someone will join in. And then when the wave starts, what do I see? "Thucar has joined the game." Everyone else had bailed!

I was not about to let my level IV equipment go to waste so I clenched my teeth and got to work. My shield was bashing, my Piranha was roaring and my Op packs supply was diminishing alarmingly fast. I could not use the snap freeze for most of the time because the swarmers buzzed around me and I had no idea where they were coming from.

But finally, I stood on the battleground, victoriously, being congratulated by the shuttle pilots "Good shooting." 
Luckily as soon as wave 5 started, 3 new recruits joined in and a hope for survival enkindled once again.
We cleared wave 5 without any major incidents, only to be greeted by a hack object at the top middle room, with Praetorians pouring from next doors. 

With about 1/4 of the hack remaining I was the last to fall prey to the mighty beak of a posessed Praetorian.
And so came to end my very first encounter with the Collectors in the MP.

This was the most fun game I had had in the MP ever since the Demo. I absolutely LOVE the collectors the way they are.

tl:dr: The collectors are OP! And I love 'em that way!

It's true man. Those things can be super tough. I played a bronze game with a level 1 Turian Ghost last night, and I ended up in a lobby set to U/C/B. Everyone had fairly low N7 levels, so I'm thinking maybe they hadn't played too much and were just trying the Collectors out as well.

I normally try to take it kind of easy on Bronze, but I was working hard for that game. It seemed like nobody, including myself, could keep from getting downed. I actually checked the scoreboard after round six to be sure that the host didn't ninja the difficulty or something. Crazy.
