Hi BSN! I'm mostly a habitual lurker here, but figured why not make a thread about this because after four failed attempts, I managed to solo platinum this morning. Originally, I'd only done gold solos just to get the banner, but I figured I'd give plat soloing a try.

I used my PS3 account (I'm also on PC but kinda suck at keyboard/mouse) and chose the TGI/Harrier X and  Giant/Reapers, probably the most unoriginal way of doing it imaginable. I just wanted to get through it and was not going for anything particularly special.

I do feel like I got trolled by the objectives, which were hack 4 targets/escourt/hack 4 targets, but then I ran into the world's nicest, most forgiving phantom on wave 10. I was hacking the last target and a phantom came from a blindspot right towards me. She couldn't manage to shoot me right off, at least, because I was partially in cover, but then she came around the cover and was about a foot away... then instead of pulling me into a sync kill or meleeing me at my complete moment of vulnerability, she backed off, stripped my shields with her handcannon, and then decided to politely wait in cover until I was done with the objective. I wanted to return the favor somehow... but alas, I had no choice but to headshot her a few seconds later. :(

It always amuses me for all that the game and AI can be amazingly aggravating in its attempts to troll you, occasionally by random coincidence it will end up working out in your favor. Anyone else out there have any insanely lucky breaks like that, either soloing or during a team match?

Oh wow, a thread thanking enemies. Don't see many of those. Grats on the solo.

Dragoons have saved me many times from Phantoms sync-kills and Marauders and Ravagers have saved me many times from Banshee sync-kills.

Yeah, I found myself remembering that time I "got to know" Zevran in Dragon Age: Origins.

And congrats. I don't see myself ever soloing Platinum, but I hope to try soloing Gold... eventually.

This has happenend to me also and I was also saved by a Banshee warp when a phantom was about to sync-kill me.

The Atlas rocket has also saved me a few times from the phantom.

Shout out for that one rocket trooper who shot the guy next to me with a triple shot instead of me even though I was closer.

I thank a Scion or a Collector Captain every time I get a sync-killed by the giant crab.

Thanks! And I kind of suspected maybe she had a slight crush on my turian ... too bad it had to end so tragically.
