They're fun if your main source of damage is guns. I love playing it with my Javelin GI. Popping scion pimples and opening up Praetorians is so fun.

I'll take fighting collectors over fighting geth

I'd take chewing foil all day over fighting geth though, so maybe that's not saying much.

a lot of fun if I'm using an Infiltrator, verry frustrating if I'm using my melee specced Slayer

[ValorOfArms777]

I rather fight geth than collectors...

Collectors cancel powers and even have a shield/power kill
Collectors make your aimer sucky if under power lock
Collectors have 2 kinds of marauder like units with a double hit melee
a Preatorian which NOBODY seems to get how to fight
Scions which hit "twice" with their cannons and also hurt more than a Geth Prime blaster

I master Geth combat LONG ago, but seems nobody else has 

collectors are the distrubing mix of Geth+Reapers, they have both cons of the sides against us along with the fact that they also have "power block/acc drop"

i find collector matches are usually much harder than any other faction. Exploding abominations and grenades from possessed scions are a nightmare. I've hardly made it through any gold collector matches

Shooting it a lot always works wonders for me :innocent:

[TheWarofArt]

They're not too difficult with weapon classes and a challenge with casters, especially if your teammates do not understand how the praetorian bubble works - using any power (including tactical scan) on or very close to floating praetorians will activate this bubble which makes it invulnerable to all powers (such as grenades) and gives it DR against all damage.

If you just damage it enough or wait it will eventually start crawling with it legs, where you can use powers against it freely. Scions can really ruin your day if you let them attack you freely.
Seeker swarms and plagues also lower your accuracy (I'm 80% sure of this) aside from stopping your powers.

I think it's good that Collectors offer a difficulty bump within a given level if difficulty (playing them on Silver can feel like Gold at times). That said, I don't really enjoy playing them...

[Titus Thongger]

The seeker swarms are a pain. other than that I love gunning them down with lots of booletz

[mybudgee]

I dont mind em

[MattFini]

LOVE the Collectors.

They are a blast, and I love fighting them.

Always happy when they show up, and they ARE a challenge.

 I'd rather fight the geth on london than play the collectors on any map ever. They are by far the most difficult and cheap faction of the bunch. They outclass all the other factions in every single way. They have the stunlocking ability of the geth with instakills. They need to be nerfed because they put the other factions to shame when it comes down to it. Every unit in the match should not be able to become possesed. One unit at a time make it's an interesting mechanic that changes up the gameplay like in ME2, multiple units just makes it ridiculous and not even fun to play. 

I'll take stunlocking and phantoms over the collectors any day.

I love how the creme de la creme thinks whoever doesn't like the Collectors just doesn't know how to fight them, because they're "tough but fair." No, they're not tough but fair. Praetorian lasers through walls is not fair. 66% BE damage is nor fair. Yes, Scions are tough, swarms are tough, Captains are tough, but the faction as a whole IS cheap. That's a fact. No other faction can shoot lasers through walls or receive a BE damage reduction.

[HiddenInWar]

Of course, Retaliation gave MP that perfect kick. Collectors are so fun when using Infiltrators with maxed out Tactical Cloaks.

[Bruenin]

i get the collectors all the time... that's why I don't like them, Every single time I try to play an adept or try a new class, BOOM collectors. All the time, and sometimes I randomly get seeker swarmed even though they're no where around me, lag maybe? but it's really annoying and lasts almost a minute, it's not fun being an adept with no way of defending yourself and being surrounded by abominations throwing you out of cover and captains sniping you with an assault rifle, and then getting hit across the map by scions and flying crabs and as soon as they're about to die they decide to possess themselves and get increased health and screw you up even more.

Aren't they really unbalanced point wise too? possessed troops don't give any more points and swarmers give a very small amount compared to how much health they have and all kinds of other bullcrap. I don't like them unless i'm playing a soldier class and then I just blow all their heads off

[capn233]

I prefer them to the Geth.

What you think is good about them is exactly what I thing is wrong about them. I don't believe in having different factions being harder or easier than each other within the same difficulty, in a game with selectable difficulties. IMO they should play and fight differently, not harder or easier.

The second one is more general with the Collectors, without exception every single one of their units is mechanically superior to those of other factions and also usually have lower spawn budget costs than comparable units. So the Collectors are hard, I get it, and I'm ok with it, except that there is literally zero incentive for playing against an enemy that will be mechanically more difficult regardless of your difficulty choice. Imo Collectors need to offer higher rewards than the other factions to make dealing with their difficulty spike worthwhile.

That's not true. A Trooper and Captain are worth the same as a Cannibal and Marauder respectively. An Abomination is worth even more, the same as a Rocket Trooper, Hunter and Pyro (4 times the amount of a Husk). A Scion is worth more than a Brute and a Praetorian is worth more than everything in the game.

I know everyone says Geth are harder because of all the stunning...
but I hate the Collectors way more. I'm used to the methodical, yet menacing, march of the Geth.

[Locutus_of_BORG]

Collectors are my favorite faction, even though I find the the hardest. Geth are my least favorite, not because I find them super hard, but I just just feel they aren't fun to play against.

[PsychoticBiotic]

They are fun with competent players, but usually a nightmare in PUGs.

[Oni Changas]

They're fun most of the time, aside from Harbinger's Stasis Mode PS3 attack.

[Invader Nemesis]

I like fighting them personally. The only thing that annoys me are the seeker swarms. IMO the swarms need a nerf.

[MajorStupidity]

I actually have fun fighting them. Much more fun than geth.

[Silvair]

 PScions and PAbombs are what makes Collectors so hard.  Running, very fragile nukes, and cluster grenade artillery.  Yeouch.


That said, they are probably one of my favorite two factions to fight.  Cerberus and Geth and just get flat overwhelming, Reapers are almost too easy, with banshee's being the only real threat.

Plus I like the whole possession mechanic.
