I got a recording device yesterday and decided to solo platinum with a volus again. My first attempt at this went fine until wave 10, when I ran straight into a banshee grab after finishing the escort when I still had 2 rockets left. I accidentally deleted that video out of rage so I can't show it.

So then I tried it again straight after and got 2 extraction. So I spent 3 hours on the same map, with the same character and against the same enemy, which was pretty exhausting. I also got trolled on the second attempt by getting targets for all 3 objectives so I was slightly nervous on wave 10.

Go to 8:38 to see my epic fail death that cost me 10 waves survived.

Anyway I hope it was worth it, enjoy!

Awesome job! I like your Volus colors, by the way.

Let me guess before watching the video, Harrier or Reegar.

OP - what did you think when the last objective came up as target elimination for the third time? Great job.

PPR, even better. Still awesome job.

Don't want to make you seem less amazing but can it be that every damn solo video uploaded was on XBox360? Is it a myth or ARE the enemies there less aggressive? Dont want to be a jerk just curious.

I felt like crying.

Fantastic work. I watched your wave 10, stressful stuff.

Most of the player base is on xbox and not many people solo platinum.

You have no idea.

You handled target elimination very well. I've been trying to solo Platinum with my GI, currently on Giant against Cerberus. Kept getting killed on the Wave 10 (Escort and 4-hack). Very impressed that you pulled it off against Reapers with the Volus Engineer!

There aren't many weapons you can use.

It's by far the hardest objective, every enemy is shooting at you and you only have a minute to kill the target.

I've noticed this for a bit. It always seems like in the console videos, bosses seem to go down quicker 1 on 1 than on the PC with the same weapon. Do they have less HP or what? Is it my imagination?

I think I played some games with you the other day. I recognized the GT. Nice vid, I don't think I'd have the patience to solo plat, 38min gold solos I did for the banner were long enough as it is. lol

[kaileena_sands]

Mhm, targets with a full team is easy peasy, since you all have rockets if things go south (hopefully!), but it can be a solo pain. When I soloed gold the second time I got two times consecutive targets and before the third objective I was like... "Please, give me 1/2/3/4 but not targets". xD

Anyway, amazing video, you did great! Soloing Platinum (with Volus nonetheless!) is always impressive to me, I haven't even considered trying it. Wish you more good games in the future (and no ninja Banshee grabs xD)

This seems to be a myth. People (in other threads) that have access to both eggs box 3.60$ and PC have said they see not difference.

There are actually quite a lot gold and platinum solos on PC. Don't forget that the Xbox player base is also quite larger than the PC one, so if we assume random distribution of good players, it's normal that they'll have more videos/solos.

I had to do it for 3 hours and I need to pay more attention to who I play with lol.

No it is not your imagination, the AI is toned down quite a bit from the PC version but since they are using controllers to play the game their achievements are still on par with doing it on PC with keyboard mouse. It all balances out in the end as can be indicated by similar completion times.

Game Speed is faster, most videos slow down the frame rate so it looks similar. Also enemies dont seem to miss on PC, while on consoles their accuracy is less. Also on console videos i have seen most of the enemies are spread out across the map but on PC they have a tendency to all come at you at once.

Again I will repeat, the difficulty is exactly the same but it is achieved differently for conoles and PC. Bioware did a great job.

Watch the BSN tomorrow, I'm putting the finishing touches to my volus platinum solo (PC) and it should be uploaded by tomorrow.

I also (bizarrely) got a faster time than salmon did, which is interesting given he used the character and weapons with a far better damage output, I'll need to watch a bit more of salmon's video first though, I'm only on 15 minutes so far.

I don't go for speed, I go for survival.
