Reapers = Free credits, anyone?
Cerberus = Easy money. They're so predic... OW! What was that, a Phantom?
Collectors = From "Ignore it, it's just a Husk." to "Kill it! Kill it NOW!!!" to "DON'T SHOOT IT WHILE IT'S STILL HUMPING ME, YOU IDIOT!!!" in 10 seconds flat.
Geth = Wanting to mask-slap every Quarian for having created them in the first place.
Damn, was I really just killed by exploding bomber turds?
Hardest faction to fight?

On platinum, definitely Geth. With my team of 3 and one random, we almost always finish the match on platinum. Very rarely do we wipe before the match finishes. But against Geth we'll wipe early and often. It's pretty sad to me that the first 5 waves of Geth on platinum are the hardest, while the later 5 waves are much easier because it throws more of the other factions in. We almost always either wipe before or on wave 5, or waste so many consumables getting past that point, that we can't finish the game out successfully.
They are manageable with tankier characters (specially krogan, batarians, or the destroyer with devastator mode). But it's pathetic that they border on the unplayable with flimsier characters that don't have a cloak to get away. Adepts just get ripped apart by them. I know there are people out there that can fight Geth on platinum with squishy characters and be fine, but we're all not as fortunate as them to be that good at this game. I consider myself pretty good considering we play the hardest difficulty without much effort. So I definitely think the Geth need to be dealt with.
The Geth Primes in specific, them and their drones. Specially when they throw 3 of them at a time at you on platinum. Just remove some of the stunlock and we'd be okay. Also they need to fix the bugs with the other units: double/triple tapping Geth Rocket Troopers, and stun/stasis firing Geth Hunters.
/rant
I don't mean to sound whiny and I enjoy this game thoroughly. The good FAR outweighs the bad in the multiplayer. But the Geth are one thing I sincerely think they need to fix.

Geth for the super elites around here. Collectors for everyone else. Geth punish the aggressive, so super elites have trouble. Collectors punish campers and defensive players, so everyone else has trouble.

Geth. They cheat much more than the other factions.

If it's a PUG, then definitely collectors. Quite a lot of people still aren't used to them, and things go south very quickly.
Personally, I'd say Cerberus because of one or two waves only. Geth are definitely the most annoying though.

Most annoying: Geth - love the dance of the stunlocks.
Most feared: Collectors - "possessed" mobs are just not fun.
That is when I don't know what I am up against, mind. If I know I'm playing geth, I just make sure to pick a character that negates the stunlocking or has powerful abilities to deal with them. This doesn't really count for collectors though, as they are just challenging all the time.

Fixed a bug where Geth Primes could not self heal via omni-gel. Also increased cannon shots per burst from 3 to 4.
Everything now working as intended.

Cerberus will be going along quite peachy until half the squad stumbles in front of some turrets...panic then ensues.
Overall, I'd have to go with Collectors. They are a nice challenge on silver (the others are pretty easy) and can be a challenging gold pug if people don't work together and keep track of the possessed big baddies blowing all sorts of things up.

The hardest faction hands down is Cerberus when nobody has a weapon or powers to deal with phantoms.
Seriously. All the other factions are trivial in comparison. If you don't kill her fast enough she whistles for her Dragoon boyfriend to cactus stomp you for hitting on her.

Given what I've recently read in another post, it's missile glitchers hands down.

lol. I've been having a blast with the chargeless Acolyte lately. Almost pretty much zero extra CD and 3-shots down you go dem whistly Phantom.
A non-spotted turret behind your team when a Phantom and a Dragoon are nearby can easily end up in a team wipe when PUGging though.

Geth. I can already count how many more easy pugs I've had with the collectors than them and I've only been back for a couple of months. Geth has always been my bane. Mabe I should L2 engineer or something.

Cerberus. I play a lot of immobile classes, so getting slashed into a corner I have no way of getting out of by a Phantom is, to put it bluntly, very annoying. Especially when it's on a Gold extraction wave and she just randomly spawns in right behind you.

My list would be this:
On higher difficulties (Gold/Plat):
1. Cerberus. 2. Collectors 3. Reapers 4. Geth (cheapness does not = tough).
On lower difficulties:
1. Collectors 2. Reapers 3. Geth, 4. Cerberus (lack of dragoons/phantoms makes them much easier)
The Geth are easily destroyed with a good tech team or by almost any of the vanguards since they have no insta kill to worry about.
Cerberus seems to have the most diverse attack, so no one tactic works well against them. From hard to kill phantoms to in your face dragoons, turrets and annoying sniping nemesis. not to mention the now DOT attack of the Atlas, they can mess a team up quickly at times. I find most PUGs have problems with them at higher levels.
Collectors are only troublesome due to those annoying power sucking swarms, and almost equally annoying webs that always seem to block access to the ammo boxes lol.
I find Reapers are a good balance and probably why they didn't get any modification last DLC. The Brute has been buffed big time since though. Double the armour and an added stunnign roar that they really didn't need. Between Brutes mauling you, and husks humping you and banchees wanting to clean out your insides, they are enough to handle.

Others claim it to be the Cerby Army, with their Phantoms' dance of death and ridiculous DR on host.
What is DR, damage resistance?
Hardest faction would be geth for me.

Cerberus and reapers.
Those phantoms and sneaky dragoons.
Banshees are horrid when the team dont take them out quickly or when ur the lone survivor.
Geth are just annoying rocket troopers and stun drone. I find they pop out of nowhere the most. Hunters and pyros. At least you can hear the phantoms.

Geth??? It always amuses me when people say that... The most deadly are the collectors. Geth are meh... Seriously how hard is to shoot down prime drone twice?
