Forgive me for asking the totally obvious question here. The survive 5 waves medal just means you can't go down at all for the 1st 5 waves? for 5 consecutive waves? I've never paid attention to this medal before.

As for the challenge, I totally hate Condor and have been getting it way more than normal lately. this will be a very unenjoyable task.

None of you can go down. The whole team must survive 5 waves without anyone dying.

This. If just one player on the team dies, the whole team fails the operation.

I play with really good players, but everyone drops at least every third wave or so on this map. Will be soloing.

[Grotaiche]

I like it as long as you play with friends. With randoms, on the other hand...

[WorgariusShadowfang]

Why would you pick the map that is the buggiest in multiplayer? I personally don't mind it as far as difficulty goes, but it's insanely frustrating to have friends get disconnected out of the game or be unable to see enemies for no good reason. At least we can just do it on Bronze, but still.

This will all end in tears, I just know it.

Well all you whiners got your "actually challenging" challenge!

I'm in a Condor match right now. It's brutal. Everything seems to go wrong on this map.

I know - I hate Condor more than any other map (sometimes when I get a bad hack, I hate London or Goddess more though).  And for some reason, I seem to get thrown into a disproportionate number of Collector-Condor matches when I do U/U.  Those never end well.

Anyway, Kroguard Bronze Solo for me this weekend!

[Ledgend1221]

Yes, finally a challenge.

[tanisha__unknown]

time to pull out my kroguard for another solo event...

[ndw542]

Why does everyone think this will be hard? This only requires HALF of a bronze solo. If you can't stay alive as a an Infiltrator, Kroguard, etc. against five waves of weak enemies who can't sync-kill, you don't deserve a Comm Pack. Even if you had to burn an Ops Pack per wave, you'd still have one left over by the time you were done.

Thanks for bringing the allied goal back, but what about something a little harder, like for example "Gold extraction required"?
I mean, we already got those kind of challenges when the game was launched and everybody had much less experience, gear and supplies.
Also it would be great if the operations were somehow related to their description (for example in this case, we could use some turians instead of random characters)

And I believe it´s 5 consecutive waves.

Thanks, bronze solo no question in the world.  Is BioWares intent for most of these things to force players to solo more?  Because that is exactly what most of these weekly things do.

I'm I the only one who's just excited about the weekend ops no matter what they are? It keeps things interesting for a bit even when they're easy.

You can always find ways to make it more challenging if you want. By all means, do it with a group. Do it on platinum. Do it with a group of Turians with phasetrons. Have fun with it, people.

How often do you play public games because you are rather naive if you think people won't face plant in 5 waves on one of the toughest maps out there.

But ... the five waves don't have to start from wave 1, so ...  

If someone dies on wave 3 and everyone survives waves 4 - 8, you get a 5 waves survived medal and a commendation pack.

Yes, I realize that waves get harder as you progress through a match, but you have not pooched the challenge unless you or one of your teammates goes down on wave 6 or later (extraction wave doesn't count).

I am actually really worried about going to pugs. I can solo to get this challenge done, but I don´t want to screw it up for others because I accidently died. 
Most challenges seem to have some purpose. Like make people to play this, so they realize how awesome it is. Or make people do this, so they learn about that. This challenge...I fail to see purpose. But maybe there is none.

Yes, I know. However, if someone was unable to survive during the first five waves, they are unlikely to be able to survive later on because, as you said, it only gets harder as the game progresses.

I PUG Gold pretty frequently, but that's irrelevant.  Set to private.  Solo half of a bronze match.  Problem solved.  Bad players can't wreck the op for you if they're not in the match.

What's the operation called again? For some reason I can't remember. I'm also making really bad jokes.

Goliad, I think.

Bronze solo. If you can't push it to wave 5 - you don't need reward pack anyway.

This.  Most BSNers can solo bronze pretty comfortably, right?  This challenge is a cakewalk.

It allows for someone to make a mistake on an early wave, it does not require perfection.  Now is an N7 12 going down because of a silly mistake?  Only if you define being new, having a nerf character and weapons and no experience in ME3 MP as a mistake.  It will be a challenge for a team full of new folks.  But one new person on a team, if the rest of the team provides help, should be able to do it without too much fuss.  Someone with reasonable experience, in any pug, against any faction besides collectors should be able to do it on Bronze.  It may take more than one match for the stars to align, but it will happen pretty quick.  I think the "OMG" reaction from some in this thread is overblown.

If I'm wrong, I can always solo.  Doubt I will need to, this just isn't that hard, even on a buggy map, playing in a pug.

WTF.  I can't believe the glitchiest map in the game was chosen for this event.  Surviving 5 waves will be tough.  Not due to enemies, but due to the likelihood of my PS3 freezing.
