I was playing with a guy who got the Lone Wolf banner... figured he was a badass.

He was OK, but nothing exceptional. Didn't do much better than me in any of the 3 games we played together... and I've never solo'd ANYTHING.

I still don´t understand where did this come from? What´s with that assumption that Lone Wolf will be badass godlike figure that will run around the field and shine like three suns in morning?
The banner only says that the person was capable of soloing gold under some circumstances at least twice. The only thing I would see to it is that if the team goes down, there are better chances that Lone Wolf can finish the wave.

You have to solo Platinum once, too, which the very thought of it boggles my nerve complex...

so a pseudo backpedal? i made a new friend? i gotta worry about you everytime i spout my love for individuals that wanna do their own thing with others?

COOL!

make sure you bring a cushion and a camera.

BTW...where the f*** where you 5 months ago when i was singing the same tune? it meant nuthin back then?

I didn't backpedal on anything. As to the rest of your post, it's incoherent.

dont have to. 2 golds is good enuff.  i aint doing a platinum. i dont like platinum with a group...and i dont like it solo.  creds are great..but some of the classes seem handicapped to me....and almost impossible to find a good pug without the game crashing or getting disconnected

oh...my bad.

Yep. You need 2 golds, 3 silvers and 5 bronze or 1 platinum, 2 golds and 2 silvers.

No, just 3 out of 4 difficulties. 2 Gold, 3 Silver, 5 Bronze is all you need. Using Kroguard vs Geth is the so-called "easy" (more like least hard) way.

BSN rules dictate he IS a badass.

WE know the lone wolf banner is no different than anyother banner...and it would be silly to judge a person better or worse just by having it...but you cant say that round these parts!!



LONE WOLF BANNER is the only banner!!

I think we've all clearly got your viewpoint.

The thing is I have yet to see anyone claim the LW banner means the player will be exceptional. At most some have argued it's one of the few that requires *some* skill, and it does.

For the most part the "controversy" has been players who post anecdotes (which are probably 90% bullsh*t) attempting to stereotype LW players.

Agree to a point...

MOST posts (ones in LW threads) i have seen say IT is the ONLY one takes SKILL to get. The others DO NOT.

biased is as biased does.

THAT is the horsecrap that got my panties in a bunch!!!  

It isn't bias. Every other challenge only requires a bunch of grinding. You have to use a certain gun or power enough times to get a certain number of points, or you have to play a certain class a certain number of waves, extract a number of times, or maybe fight a certain enemy enough times to get a certain number of points against them. None of these things require anything but having unlocked a weapon/character or just fighting a given faction. 'Lone Wolf' doesn't require the SAME set of skills that work for team play, but it still requires a set of skills. Denything that is just silly.

Can you please quit acting like you're better than others on this forum just because they're willing to say that they don't suck at this game? Most of the 'elitists' here don't act like being good at a video game is a good measure of who a person is, just a measure of how good or bad they are at a video game. The only ones that seem to look down on people on a personal level are people like you.

what kind of people is that exactly since you know me so well?



and i dont look down on anyone on a personal level unless i know them personally.  if you believe this is so...can you provide some kind of link or evidence or some junk....cuz this is the second time in a LW type-ish thread you took a jab at me. I date your sister or something?

People who **** constantly about elitism when others complain about a lack of skill on the part of a large portion of the game's playerbase. You do realize that you do the EXACT SAME THING when you whine about ramboing, right?

No, I'm saying that you're an elitist too, you're just too caught up in your 'BillyBadassMPplayer' bull**** to notice. That you whine about elitism just makes you a hypocrite as well as annoying.

There is a REASON people are on the forum..WE PLAY the game ALOT. i would hope we have gained some SKILL at this game...at least by now.

AND YEAH...rambos ****** me off.

if i say something...i can back up it in game....i aint gonna shy away from that.  all anyone has to do is look me up on xbox.

Self-assuredness is fine. It's just ridiculously stupid that you act like it's bad for others to be elitist and **** about the skill level of many players when you do the exact same thing. You seem to get offended when others declare a fair certainty at their own level of skill. Would you kindly quit whining about behaviors that you participate in? Hypocrisy doesn't offend me, but it's still annoying.

Wait, so the lone wolf is not good enough to save you from the mess you made when he's playing a setup that's built for boss killing and not mooks, but you died long enough before him to be watching him and make a thread about it?

I wonder what the point of this thread is. Is he bad and you worse? Or is he fine and got caught with a bad team? Or what?

Lone wolves are just normal players who have spent the time it takes to go through some hard difficulties on their own. In my case, I feel like this has helped me understand wave budget and composition more than anything, so if I'm left on my own I know which enemies to take out first, but it doesn't mean I always score at the top of the board or can always handle a gold wave by myself.

[Lives Must Die]

Lol I'm going to get the Lone Wolf banner tonight with one more solo, but I have 2 things to say about this:

1. The Lone Wolf banner is a nice idea that gives you some sort of bragging rights since you can at least solo gold-level, never mind which character you use. The point is you did it, which is kind of nice.

2. The Long Wold banner means absolute jack in a public game. When I go into a public game, usually I try out characters I'm not as familiar with just to have fun and discover new ways to play. I rely on my team mates to help support the entire time... and much of the time I'm not using a character I'm comfortable with soloing a match, especially if it's an unknown map or faction that the character I'm using isn't suited to fighting. Yeah, there are many times where I can finish out the round by myself, but if I'm not using one of my best classes, it could just take forever Most people don't like to wait that long in public games.

[TxC_Denali2012]

I can speak from experience. I have the lone wolf banner, but I am in no sense of the word invincible. I still die from time to time when clutching with a team. S*** happens. Haters are going to hate. Always will.

[rubynorman]

This is why I switch to the Mathmagician banner. So much pressure using the Lone Wolf banner, people expect to be carried or something ? I solod 4 waves including objectives waves in 2 gold Collector yesterday and failed at wave 9. Why did I fail? Because when I solod gold, I used my best equiments in a map I know clearly and against reaper not these collector scion and praetorian. And you have 5-6 medigels, 5 rockets like me why not use it ((

[N7-RedFox]

I solo'd Reapers on platinum and won. I tried solo'ing Geth on platinum, different story entirely. Those bastards just cheat and stop your every movement. They need to be balanced - especially that bastard Drone which can stunlock u from miles away allowing the Prime to r*pe you senseless

Haha, that´s exactly what happened to me. Everyone died and bleed out in the middle of massacre zone during wave 10. And then it was just me, no missiles, third and fourth targets to kill, 1 minute to go, Collectors everywhere

I pulled it through, but my hands trembled for another 20 minutes after the match finished. Having the whole fate of match on your shoulders and three pairs of eyes watching you = hell.
