i've been playing me3 mp for over a year now, and i've recently noticed there are a lot of new players.  when wave 11 comes around there's always at least one player who runs directly to the LZ. 

in a recent match all three of the other people in the game went to the LZ immediately as i ran to the opposite end of the map.  they didn't seem like bad players...  but there they were. 

so, when people start to die...  the renegade in me tells me to ignore them and get a missle ready so i can clear the LZ at the last second and extract...  the paragon in me tells me to revive them, and do my best to hold the line with them. 

even if people are using a mic, they just don't seem to get it.

paragon or renegade?

Renegade because for every time you help out to extraction you die and miss extraction trying to help out. The only problem of course is if you care about score.

Wave 1 through 10, I play for the team. Wave 11 I play to survive.

Holding the line is what men do.

I have a hold area on every map. I stay there until 15 seconds, then I go to the lz. If folks want to defend the lz, thats on them. The one that really makes me scratch my head is the benning pit of doom. I regularly solo extract from there as for some reason, there is a very high amount of folks that feel the need to die defending it.

Depends on the map really. On Giant for instance I might consider helping defend the LZ,while on say Ghost or Hydra I won't, because that's suicide.

Wave 11 is "every life-form for themselves", I prefer circles to lines anyway.

Exactly my plan.  Exceptions being friends (usually with a comment of "so, how's the LZ these days?") and noobs that I've adopted (without their knowledge) and that I'm trying to keep alive at all costs.

Sometimes I try to hold the LZ, but when people start getting sync killed, I ask myself "What would King Arthur do?"

Best my Paragon self would do is warn them over my mic, if they don't have mics then my Renegade self steps up and tells me they should have had some, and I've had to deal with uncommunicative players this whole match so...

I just quietly say into my mic: Get the h#ll away from the LZ. But sometimes I just sigh and go help wondering how many consumables it'll cost me.:sick:

Some learn, some don't, I've found.

If I have my mic on and they run to the LZ, I warn them about why that's a bad idea and they should come hang out with me. Most tend to follow my advice (it's never an order, just a, "Hey, you might wanna..." laid back approach). Those who don't, die and find out the hard way.

If I don't have my mic on, it's fascinating to watch who figures it out and who doesn't. Perfect example was a newbie Silver game from hell yesterday. I was working on my last few melee points for Dog of War, so I slapped my Krolord into a Silver Quick Match and landed in a room set for Rio/Reapers and three folks with incredibly low N7's. I'm talking sub-50 here. I readied up because I figured I'd get my melee points knocked out in absolutely no time (I was right).

I revived them as much as I could, but I ended up soloing almost all the waves alone. Come extraction time, two of them beelined to the LZ. A Turian Sentinel (oh, irony) who had spent the majority of the match on his face watching me from spectator mode literally turned his character to face mine as if asking what to do. I looked at him, headbutted, and walked in the opposite direction from the LZ. He followed. I then got greedy on husk melees and ended up with SURPRISE-BANSHEE-SYNC-KILL in my face with almost no warning, so I totally failed extraction. But Mr. Newbie Turian Sentinel stayed hung back like I had silently communicated to him, then he dashed to the LZ at the last second and got Lone Survivor.

I was proud of him. He learned a few things that match... good on him.

Thats hard to answer - and I guess it depends on the team. How was the match prior to extraction? Were they good, or did you have some goofball that followed you around trying to 'help'? Did they help with objectives?

If they have been a good team, and they are getting killed I will go in there and make sure they live through extraction. In other words, if they have been paragon, I will be paragon.

If they play renegade style, I will do the gangnam style on their graves while I solo extract.

I don't go to the LZ till around the 24 sec mark...

I like to arrive in the last seconds and pull a Jesus, and save everybody!  Image IPB

Ha! Image IPB

On Gold, I ain't going to LZ til the clock says 20, and I'm running straight there with rockets out in case I run into a wall of bosses.

If it's bronze or silver, it's doable. I played a silver yesterday where we got to LZ at 10 seconds left and didn't see an enemy the rest of the countdown. Image IPB

Camping the LZ is fun, and i actually don't care if I am the only one who stays alive. I play for credits, not XP.

OP, if you choose the paragon and try to help them out at the LZ then you should consider too things:
1. as you are there too, they would think that being at the LZ is ok
2. as you may save the day for them, they will not learn their mistake

So, for a paragon purpose (help them) you should choose the renegade and let them experience what happen when thy try to bunker down at the LZ.

 This weekend I ran some Platnium with some randoms. They were really good. I think we had like 2 juggies. But when Wave 11 came around, too my horror, they tried to hold the LZ. I thought we had a chance since we had 2juggies. But nah we got smashed

We play again and when Wave 11 comes around once again they try to hold it down. This time I knew better and burned out on them. Another guy also had the same idea. Around 40s in the guys at the LZ are dead. The other lone wolf goes down too right by me

I had a choice- do the Paragon thing and try to revive this dude or extract. I choose extract and used a missile to clear the LZ to make an easy extraction. I really needed the extraction for a challenge so couldnt risk failure again :wizard:

Really depends on the map, difficulty and faction we're fighting. If it's above gold, I'll usually stay away from the LZ until 20 seconds or so is left until extraction and then I'll make a run for it with my Cobra at the ready in case I have to clear it out.

Whatever you do, don't hold the back room on Platinum Hydra with a Juggy and think 40 seconds is going to be long enough to run... er... stroll... to the LZ.

Mostly Paragon. It depends what I'm using.

There are many, many occasions (so silly, but true...) when I'm using my Shadow (or Drell Assassin) that I'll run to the defensible position on the map, if I'm unmic'd in PuGs. The other three will try to hold the LZ. They'll all go down. I'll run in, revive them all, and then run back to my defensive position, vainly hoping they'll do the same. They don't, they go down, and I run back in to revive all three of them. This cycle will sometimes repeat 4 or more times (depending on the size of the map.)

It almost always ends with full extraction, which I find quite funny.

If I'm using a slower class, though, it's 50/50. I'll either try and hold the line with them, if I'm tanky enough, or I'll leave 'em to die. I don't like leaving anyone to die, I'd almost rather not extract, myself, but sometimes ya just gotta'.
