I had intended to try, but I ordered a bunch of games that were on sale, and between those and Citadel, haven't touched multi all week.

It took me a bit less than 2 hours.
4 matches, everyone a success.
Don't rely on challenge points or N7 levels, or UR levels, not even on points made in a match.
I hardly promote, I played only 1 day a week after the challenge points system was put in place, started grinding just 2 weeks ago, I have bad luck with URs, but I hardly fail a Platinum playthrough (around 95% of success) even with kits I'm not accustomed too.

Started the operation with a collector duo with my brother(I was using TGI, while my brother used jugg in every match), after that we duo through geth with me running around as vanilla krosent. Halfway through I got a friend to join in, so reapers and cerb went along pretty smoothly(was using Tsent for reapers and Asari adept for cerb.)
We went through collectors and geth again to get the com pack for my friend. Failed once against collectors, but we managed it on the second try.

Got all but collectors, wiped on wave 9 5mins before the event ended. I didn't really try for it that much though.

Pugged it all, as I always pug.
Reapers and Geth were 1 shot, 1 hits.
Collectors took me 4 games, of which 2 were wave 10 fails.
Cerberus took me 2. In one of the few REALLY bad plat pugs I have ever been in the three other dudes died and ragequit during wave 1 on Condor. Obviously I'm not good enough to solo Cerb/Plat

Yea, it wasn't that bad. I have a group of friends that I play with and we beat the collectors on our first try

I got it done. It took only one attempt to beat cerberus, reapers and collectors.
The geth on the other hand took three attempts.

I played from 2-6 am on the weekend trying to fix my sleep schedule, which lasted for one day. The Gold and Plat players were unusually bad although I don't normally play Platinum. I died on Wave 11 seven seconds from extraction with no more medigels (team managed to die within a minute).
Then I joined a lobby with a competent host and other player, and we won all four games in a row with a rotating forth random. All full extractions, I believe, at least for the three of us. We three-manned the latter half of the Cerberus game. I played a Huntress with Crusader X, the host played a Fury, and other guy played a Huntress too. Good but not great teamwork. Regardless, it was way above average. No communication whatsoever, which makes the teamwork that did happen 10x better. In a rare turn of events, I said "good games" before disconnecting after completing the challenge.

Cerberus, reapers and Geth was done in first attempt. Collectors took several games to complete. But thanks to my trusty MQI i did it. But i have to admit, even though i got a decent score in that game. The AIU and jug carried the match.
Reapers was easier than i thought oddly enough....

I've done it very quickly & easy in first two days, surprisingly with PUGs.
After that I've helped 4 other guys separately to finish their PLAT games.

Easy done with friends. Forgot to do Geth and turned to Plat pugging for it. Two attempts, the first failed in wave 10.
People were decent in these matches. Dropped into the ongoing successful match without consumables. Sometimes it's just worth to try with randoms.
Time was OK, too - around 24 mins.

First attempt with Platinum in my life, PUGs all the way of course.
1st went for Cerberus and got super lucky, joined a match on wave 9 and extracted successfully XD.
2nd went for Geth, done on second attempt.
3rd decided to go for Collectors...It was a nightmare for me, took I think 7 attempts :S.
4th obviously Reapers for last, done it pretty uneventfully, extracted on 1st attempt.

Only done like 2 plat games before, the first we failed wave 8 cause I had to go AFK, and the other 5 have been successes. We played Cerberus first, then Reapers. Went down to a Gold Collectors (To desynch the Lodestar operations) and then did Plat Geth in Collector Geth.
Was good, we were kinda confused on reapers when extraction was basically ALL dragoons, but apart from that it went pretty smoothly. I was playing Krogan Sentinel, with a GI, BatGuard and AUI as the other 3 chars.

It's interesting that a majority really struggled with Collectors. So many even couldn't finish insanity because of them. Definitely the hardest faction and *cough* not OP at all.

I done it in four tries, one for each and with 3 randoms, the same for all tries. Even without mic we managed to do it without many problems. Collectors was the hardest, we had to pull medi-gel to survive the hack circles but we managed, was a plesant surprise.
Actually had more problem with all enemies on Silver, moslty because teamates keep bleeding out and not using equipment, had to solo with an audiance of 3 most of the runs.

The regular collectors are fine, but the possesed ones are hell. Especially scions and the walking nukes.
Edit:
I found out that a durations specced infiltrator (MQI for me) gives a large advantage. I would almost call it a necesity in PUGs.

I managed Cerb, Geth and Reapers on the first try without any problems, Collectors took me a few more attempts.
I'm quite proud of myself overall though, never really had a go at platinum before, and I went rather smoothly I thought.

I found is remarkably easy, easier than I remember plat to be. And this was with using the krolord on the collector challenge.

Did it in 5 PUGs, just two tries for Collectors, was easier than I thought.
