Pugged all 4 first try, went pretty smooth with the exeption of Geth where I had to solo a clutch extraction, because everyone else died at the start of the round.

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.


Dem possessed Praetorians lezorz were one shotting me from full Barrier/Health THROUGH CONCRETE </3

I did it in one evening/night in about 7 pugs due to two of the matches disconnecting (curse the EA gods!) and one mission failure at about wave 9 if I recall. I had never completed (or tried I think) a Platinum match against the Collectors but I found it a lot easier than I thought it would be. Got the Hurricane VII for doing it.

Managed to complete platinum, got it on first try against all factions.

It was me, capn and 2 pugs.

We managed to complete all 3 factions in around 20 mins, only collectors took 27 minutes.

Dem possessed abominations :P

Ended up with a crusader, valiant and valkyrie upgrade.

Hurricane stuck at 9 since Jan.

To tell the truth i was going to ignore it because i figured that it would be flooded with newbies but i was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a few good games going. I got an Eagle upgrade for it.

Got first two Plats with friends, rather quickly. Pugged two others (Reapers and Collectors) with a Juggernaut. The Collector London that featured some inept Fury with crap weapons and no consumables was brutal, but we did manage to extract.

I'm okay with them being more challenging that the rest.  I'll still hate Captains and their perfect strafing, but lagging dragoons, hosty phantoms and most geth are worse.  Those all push me out of the game experience and into a metagame state of annoyance.

My friends and I had a big problem with geth on an open map, we even wiped, which I think happened first time with our group. We're overconfident and started with non-suitable classes, bombers are a pain in the ass, now they're the most dangerous geth units, even worse than damn primes. Also having troll drone escort on Ghost with Geth is bad, really bad. Next time we did it vs geth with a tech classes and better tactics. 

 Both factions cheat, but Collectors are the worst evil, because they don't have any weaknesses:
1) Range - scions, praetorians, captains are capable to kill anything with their firepower.
2) CQC - praetorian's ridiculous melee staggers and kills even juggernaut in seconds. Every single unit has a strong melee, even scion.
3) Instakills(the thing that geth are lacking, thank god).
4) They're lightning fast.
5) Collectors are capable of unlocking any dug-in defense with their possessed scions and clusters.

So I'm not surprised that many had problems with collectors.
