I was in the process of banking credits before Retaliation dropped. I was playing Gold matches pretty successfully, all of which were PUGs.
I found a few players that I got along with, things were going well that night and a few successful extractions later, they went from Gold to Platinum. This was my first Plat game, Cerberus on Giant. I readied up as best as my manifest allowed and thought about all the tips I've read about how PUG effectively. The one that stuck in my head was, don't be afraid to Medi-Gel. I didn't want to be carried or weigh everyone else down being carried.
I survived the first few waves, I think it was the end of wave 2 or 3, a Centerion took me down. It was my first Plat match and damned if I was going to leech off of better players, so I immediately Medi-Gelled. They killed the Centerion, the wave ended, and over the mic, I hear (with just a hint of amused laughter) "Oh no, casamar, why did you do that?"
After that, I stuck to the vets, followed them, shot everything I could, and even extracted, but since it was around 3am I didn't stick around for another game

I've been killed by the last enemy on the map, from full health, after wasting an entire clip and some powers, on a medium strength mook (like a Guardian, Pyro or Hunter), even with 3 other squad members. I've done this more than once.

My other one
After one of the Kroguards Should Nerfed threads, I decided it was the perfect time to pull him out. It was Cerberus/Jade/ and I think Silver.
All was going well, I was meleeing everything, and then the Atlases appeared. I ran behind one and proceed to melee it, thinking I was safe. It then turned around and proceeded to Sync Kill me.
That wouldn't have been so bad if it didn't happen again 2 waves later.

Whenever I'm backing away from something and hit a wall or some stuff, trying to run and get into cover...........Rage Missiles, got stuck in a corner by a Col Cap and Nuke babies then medigel's and Butt Scarab joins in....not seeing the turret hiding in the corner....generally anything when playing Havoc Soldier

Forget I have my missile launcher out.
This...And wasting a missile on one lone husk, because I forgot to switch back before shooting...And missing the husk. Then shooting it with a SECOND missile because I got so flustered I still forgot to switch back to regular weapons...2 missiles to take out one husk. Miserable fail.
And the first time I played the Asari Valkyrie. It was also my first time on the new Glacier Hazard map. I immediately used Tech Armor and Annihilation Field at the same time, and when this blue angry buzz cloud came at me, I thought -
Oh, am I doing that? Is this some kind of cool 'special' effect from mixing the two powers? -
Then it ran me over, and I bled out. On wave 1. On bronze. Utter humiliation.

Realizing I don't have an e-peen...
I've been having a real problem lately with hitting Nemesis. Even after I stagger them.

Collectors/Giant/Gold
Extraction Wave, played as a TSent.
I'm backing away from 2 abominations while I was gunning them down with my Phaeston. They both go down, I'm not caught in their explosion and I'm safe, time to head for the EZ, or so I thought. After the 2 abominations go down I find my TSent in the lovely embrace of a Praetorian's claws. Backing myself straight into a Praetorian, that was my worst sync-kill experience so far.

This.
And the first time I was on the Glacier Hazard map and got run over by the buzzing blue cloud, wondering WTF???
That reminds me. First time Glacier Hazard showed up. My team finished the match, extracted...then got killed as the swarm passed over us while the "mission success" stuff played. Didn't count against us, but...

Going down over and over and over again the other day as a Pheonix Vanguard. I just started rage gelling after a certain point and I could hear the other players over the mic saying why is he gelling every time he goes down. Towards the end I finally got my barings and did well but it was embarrassing.

I was happily walking alongside a Geth trooper, not realizing that it was an enemy until a teammate blew its head off.

The first day we got collectors. I busted out my trusty Kroguard, charged into a group of collectors, they proceeded to nuke my cooldowns catch me in a net and drop Scion grenades all over me. I suddenly discovered I scream like a girl when I panic XD

Reactor/Cerberus/Gold. Playing on Xbox - go for Ops pack and instead manage to equip missle launcher. Launching on wave 2 with only a few mooks left was slightly embarrassing. Haha can't win sometimes...

I did a silver against collectors on giant. Wave 10 we had a priority target mission. First target, I whip out a rocket and rush to it to find a HUGE spawn (me=trollface) with a praetorian as the target, fire rocket...only to get completely blocked by a seeker swarm, killing absolutely nothing else. Second rocket, kills the troopers and two scions in front of the praetorians. Third rocket, kills the non-target praetorian and leaves the target praetorian with about 3 bars of health.
SO MUCH RAGE

Charging headfirst into the spawn and wasting consumables trying to enable Cobra: check
Forgetting I had Cobra enabled and killing one measly husk: check
Heavy melee into open air: check
Heavy melee into cloaked teammate: check
Died trying to set off biotic explosions using powers in reversed order: check
Died trying to figure out what the hell was wrong with biotic explosions: check
Missed extraction because I was constantly ducking into cover when all I was doing was trying to run like hell: check
Apologized to team, quit in disgrace: check
Is this a great game or what?

Wave 10 Gold vs reapers. Every one else dead. I am the only 1 left with 0 medi-gels and 5 rockets.
I am terrible at clutching, so I blasted away those rockets to kill 2 remaining targets and some other bosses. Hmm area looks clean and I was feeling very proud. Next second a cannibal shoots me down. Couldn't stay in that lobby for another match due to shame.

- Getting killed by two husks.
- Dropping down the ladder on Giant to the ammo box directly into a fresh spawn of two praetorians
- Climbing up a ladder on Giant to escape a Dragoon only to end up face to face with a turret and two phantoms. I didn't bother using medi-gel
- Missing an Atlas at point blank range with two missiles.
Just to name a few.

Just yesterday, at the extraction wave. One player got downed and was surrounded by two Banshee's. I decided to play the hero and nuke those two Banshee's and revive him.
I approach the Banshee's, shoot the ground.... get picked up 1 second later.
It turns out, I didn't take out my missle launcher and instead shot the ground with my silly collector sniper rifle..... Only one player made it... a lone survivor. Boy was that embarrassing.
