I'd actually be kind of curious to know what the least played character is.

Harriers! Harriers everywhere!

Well, the top three weapons are certainly not a surprise, though I really didn't expect the Destroyer to be the most popular. I almost never see them, and it can't be a difficulty thing, as I play a good mix of bronze, silver, and gold depending on what I feel like at the moment. I would have said Ghost, followed by Geth Soldier or Asari Adept. The 41% failure rate does seem a little high, I'd have guessed around 25-30%.

You guys vastly overestimate the prevalence of missile glitching on consoles. It was enough to be annoying, but it seemed like there was only one in maybe four lobbies, so that's 1/16 total, and only on Platinum, which is almost certainly the least played difficulty. If MGing were prevalent enough to skew the numbers that bad, the number of failed matches would be lower.

Really, though, they say nothing about the timeframe on all this. If it's just since the last time that data was shown, it's been months. I don't think the TGI has even existed that entire timeframe. He or the EDIbot could easily be the most prevalent now, and the numbers don't show it because the playerbase is decreasing, and because they're more recent releases.

I'd say that you were underestimating MGing on the 360.  For awhile, every single lobby I found searching for Plat had 1-3 Destroyers in it.  Every time I tried to host and let even a single random in, Destroyer.  At it's height, I found Plat completely unplayable unless with friends.  I had less than 5 non-glitching PuG matches from the dawn of MGing until the most recent patch, and I used to search on a semi-regular basis.  

And the 360 has consistently had the largest user base for the game.  

And don't forget we've seen plenty of threads about MGers failing plat, and plenty of them likely chose to die after Wave 10 objective was done speed up times (particularly back before Extraction credits were added).  So they wouldn't have necessarily skewed victory data.

So if the N7 Destroyer is the most popular class why did they put the Ghost on it?

[Kuato Livezz]

but, but, but, AIU is the iwin character! Platinum extractions should be at least 90%!!!!!!!!

Surely it's Tsab or Volsent.  I've maybe seen only a couple of either, ever, even the weeks they were released.

I bet you its the phoenix vangaurd, but they tried to hide that fact by combining it with one of the highest played class, the phoenix adept

Hmm, I hadn't been thinking about intentional failures after the objectives, as I never do that unless everyone else cleary wants to (AKA, they all suicide at the same time), but that makes the 41% seem much more realistic.

[BjornDaDwarf]

Oh, and on the failed missions, how many people fire up a solo to screw around waiting for friends, or to quickly test a gun, power, build? For every 10 extractions I get, I probably have a 2-3 "failed" solos where I was screwing around.

That's strange. I really don't see too many Destroyers in open games. I think I've seen like 2-3 tops since the last DLC came out.

And maybe about 5 max on infiltrators. I've been seeing more Sentinels,Adepts and even Vanguards then any of them. And we're talking playing near solid every day for like 2 weeks.

Let alone I don't see the Harrier much at all.

I think I've only over seen one Sabatuer, and never a Volus Sentinel, so that sounds likely to me.

Soldier has won every single one, and this time Infiltrator is not even top 3.

Gotta remember that there are more games on Bronze/Silver than on Gold/Platinum.

Had this been a Gold+ thing, I'm pretty sure infiltrators would have been first.

I'd be pretty surprised if it was dead last.

I'd probably put my credits on the Volus Sentinel, personally.

Yeah, I would've guessed PV even before seeing the Phoenix classes' combined number.

I don't even understand HOW 41% of missions end in failure?! Especially considering more people play bronze/silver than gold/platinum.

*looks sheepish*

Well, there's farming for husk points (reaper gold wave one, bring a singularity kit, bleed out when only marauders are left), or when you need 1-3 more waves of a certain map on a specific difficulty ("f--- it, I'll just solo those waves and bleed out when it's done, it will be quicker"). Or solo attempts. Basically, there's lots of reasons now, pretty much all challenge-point related, why you'd start a mission at any difficulty fully intending to wipe out before extraction.

Because Turians are the sexiest race. Fact.

But seriously, I believe we already had a previous infographic that featured the Destroyer, so...

Well at least we can say that Infiltrators aren't trivializing the game.

Since, you know, 41% failure rate across all difficulties =P

and you know Gold/Plat is likely to be higher than that.

My credits are on BF3 soldier.

[N7Dropout1]

1% of total extractions are platinum. Just goes to show how small the platinum playerbase is. I'd be curious to know what the gold numbers are.

I remember some dev saying people weren't failing against the collectors as we thought. Ha!

I've actually seen quite a few of them lately, so my vote still goes the the Volus Sentinel

And they say no one uses the Acolyte. And they say Collectors are not OP.

Having it equipped as a secondary doesn't mean always using.  I'm sure that 10% weight capacity (w/ ULM) really makes it a tough choice as a secondary.  Besides, Bioware probably increased its popularity 10-fold when they removed the charge mechanic.
