I've no problem with em, save for the blast radius on Praetorian's buttlasers. I do, however, make it my goal in life to snuff out any Captains I see just so I dont have to see seeker swarms, though. But then, I have my preferred targets for all factions (Guardians are so satisfying to mail-slot snipe even still ^^)

I love popping those big almond shaped heads, almos as satisfying as popping a Kantus' head off , as for the *buttlasers* I find cover helps .

Captains are a bit too accurate, but otherwise I enjoy going up against Collectors. Scions are especially fun to tease and pop. Overall B+ effort by Bioware.

edit1: Praymaxians should look less slick than they do now. The ME2 Praymaxians looked freakier.

edit2: Butt lasers need to go, but I hate all animation goofs by all factions.

What I don't like about them is that sometimes I have no idea what the hell is going on on the screen.
I mean:
web in front of me, web behind me, some guys are possessed and some are not, omfg lots of grenades, freaking bugs flying around, then an abomination grabs me, holy crap buttlazors!!! *ally down*

On a serious note, it bugs me that regular collector troopers deal more damage than regular troopers of other factions. This should be fixed. Oh, and the amount of health on the swarms, too. It's too damn high.

[feldinor]

Somehow the Collectors feel harder, but I'm not sure why. The Scions shouldn't be any more annoying than Ravagers. The Preatorians shouldn't be harder than Banshees. Abominations are slightly more annoying than Husks. The Seeker Swarms shouldn't add too much annoyance. Still, I rather avoid the Collectors. They somehow feel harder than the other enemies, but I can't point out why.

[Vlark]

Depends on the Kit. As an Asari Huntress i really enjoying it. They are not that Overpowered anymore. But that Possessed Collector Captain Oneshotting you through Shield and Healthgate is a **** though.

[Catman Assuming Direct Control]

I don't hate them anymore, had 2 furys amd a drelldept and a useless 4th guy and we did just fine on gold. I don't want them. But they ain't bad.

[Stinja]

I like them in general as a faction. They're different, have some unique attacks, and require different tactics.

What i do NOT like are:

- they have a serious tendency to crash (hard freeze) playstation 3 games.
All consumables lost, all time wasted, no money. This is easily the worst thing about them, and it's not even related to the gameplay pro/cons itself.

- they skew class favouring heavily.
Power-dependant kits get royally screwed over. Yes you can play vanguards against them, but collectors have a number of things which seem tailor made to annoy vanguards. Weapon focused classes barely notice, so i dislike mechanics which punish or at the least trend you into a certain playstyle/kit choice.

Apart from that i can deal with oddities like cover-ignoring butt-lasers, and i DO find them fun. They just need to fix the crashes (unlikely at this stage), and some slight balances against powers.

I would partition for a change to the lobby selection screen: allowing us to filter factions so we could have an "Unknown except Collectors" would be very useful for PS3 gamers.

GI BW/Javelin. It's fun fighting Praetorians with that build.

[avenging_teabag]

They're my second favorite faction to fight, after Reapers - that're harder than Reapers, of course, but way less frustrating than Geth of Cerberus for me. A sniper's paradise, and biotic classes, although somewhat gimped, do okay against them as well. Huntress does very well against them, same the Fury. The classes that I find hard to use against Collectors, are mainly CQ oriented - Paladin, all vanguards, the Shadow. But I don't play those often, so whatever.

Overall, Collectors are fun to me on gold, they don't make me scream in frustration, like geth or cerberus. I'm yet to try them on Plat though.

Well, I wouldn't take a Vanguard into a Gold Game against Collectors.

But with the right classes, I consider Collectors actually fun. Especially since you can get a revive medal even in a team that usually never goes down against other factions.

And they are not as cheap as Geth or the stupid hyperactive Dragoons. Except for the butt lazers of course, but hey, tell me anything that isn't at least a little bugged in this game.

That's a humorous way to view it, at least.

ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL... OF THIS CONSOLE.

I KNOW YOU FEEL THIS. THIS HURTS YOU.

LOCKING YOU OUT, SHEPARD.

*sigh* *reboots*

YOU PROLONG THE INEVITABLE. HOPE IS IRRELEVANT.

So true that I'm not sure I want to cry or laugh. Maybe do both? 

biower pls

[KevTheGamer]

for me the collectors are the hardest faction in the game but they are a ton of fun too. They stun lock, instakill, are super agreesive, explode on contact, and then theres the seeker swarms and that fact that you can get ray beemed to death from cover so you have to constantly move against them. They are still fun but definately the hardest faction in the game. I think Bioware made them this way to troll the campers and rocket glitchers

[mistervirginia]

 i think they're fun to play against as long as my console doesn't freeze

however, they are hard because they are hard, not because they cheat.

Scion grenades with unlimited range and laser precision combined with a main gun that staggers...

Praetorians able to attack despite their power bubble up...

Collector captains s.h.iting(who thought that was a good animation by the way) out their overpowered swarmers(an understatement) every 2 seconds...

Melee attack of the basic trooper hitting as hard as an phantoms sword....


But yeah, no cheese involved.

I like the extra challenge but there are annoying if you are playing a close range kit and teammates kill nearby abominations .. people don't seem to realise that even non-possessed ones still blow up and do some damage.

Also never use volus against them

[Sidney]

The only thing I don't like are the swarms which seem to be a overly large penalty for anyone on a power class while the gun wielders really have no worry.

[Joe Neutrino]

There are too many seeer swarms and too many possessed enemies.

[Chala]

I love them...
'cept for the butt laz0r, I hate it when that thing happens.

Obviously not hardest. They aren't even the most annoying, geth are. But Collectors are still a spam faction. They use spam against you (tons of pets, stunlock, range suppression, grenades) and are therefore frustrating.

The hardest faction is definitely Cerberus, but they are also the most fun to play against.

[TG XTerminatorX]

 I think that they're fun simply because they offer the only real challenge when you have a good team together. The best teams can beat collectors on platinum on any map (I extracted on Collector/Dagger Hazard/Platinum with Fallen and a couple of his friends without any problems).

Until they make a new difficulty level (or if they do at all), platinum with collectors is the only thing close to a challenge for the elite players.

however, they are hard because they are hard, not because they cheat, which is where the geth and cerberus get a lot of their difficulty from.

So, their reduced Biotic damage taken, due to a bug, is ok, but 90% damage resist on one unit for cerberus ( phantom cartwheeling on host ) is not?

Collectors are cheesy. Only faction that feels like it has 16 instead of 8 units on the field, thanks to seeker swarm spamming.

I think they're generally pretty fun—they're a pretty well balanced, tactical faction. It really shows that BioWare designed them with the multiplayer in mind. Only problem is, if one or two team mates aren't pulling their weight, you tend to feel it the most against Collectors.

Their health values seem a little inflated though. It's fine for the troopers, but possessed Scions and Praetorians are just stupidly durable.

I love them, challenging and fun, if only my PS3 could withstand the pressure I'd play em regularly on Gold if I could *sigh* all I can hope for though is Bronze/Silver!
