Lol.

When I host PUGs, the enemy is set to anything that's not rippers.

I used to play nothing but Reapers Gold. Don't know why I switched back to U/U/G a couple months ago since the other 3 factions often make me rage.

Because playing only one faction is boring, maybe?

I often pick maps game by game but leave the faction to unknown. That is, until I match Collectors and end up with a freeze. Then I'll select a faction for a day until I forget about the previous frustration.

It's the most consistent experience, IMO.

This is probably it. I've noticed that whenever I play Reapers, nothing particularly "cheap" ever really happens. With Cerberus, Collectors, Geth... something's gonna be there to ruin my fun. But Reapers? Once every ten games, a Banshee teleports through a wall and grabs me. But that's it. 100 waves, and only in one of those 100 something cheap kills me? I'll take it over Phantoms doing that to me up to three times a game.

This pretty much sums it all up.

[Knockingbr4in]

Reapers are boring as sh!t. Geth are cheap but seeing them explode is always satisfying. Collectors would be a lot more enjoyable if biower didn't fail at optimizing their game on PS3. So, funniest faction is Cerberus.

All IMO, of course.

[cegr25]

Not on Xbox, but here's my two cents on the factions.

Geth are the easiest - I fight them a lot for easy creds.

Reapers aren't too bad either, but Banshees still perform cheap grabs, turning me around to face them while I'm trying to kill a ravager.

Cerberus has the Dragoons, Phantoms, Turrets, and Atlas missiles. The rest of the faction is easy.

And lolcollectors.

I did see you go down a lot, Shaman

But hey, we did some awesome tag-teaming with those Biotic Explosions. And you were shredding when you were standing, so hey.

I did some brutal math numbers

me: 6 (amount of times i died) *1.9 (damage output) = 11.4 (multiplier for kills)
you: 1 * 1.5 = 1.5

my score: 20k * 11.4 = 228k
my score: 20k * 1.1 = 30k

It seems that the more you go down the more you score

I'm starting to make a switch to gold (only played it couple of times) and Reapers are my preferred faction. It's a very straightforward enemy and if the mission fails (even on silver) I know the reason is I (and the team) sucked. With other factions there's always this feeling of cheapness that takes away the fun.

With Reapers it's all your skill and nothing more.

Hey, I may only be a Galactic HOSTage REtrieval and COllectioN Specialist (GHOSTRECONS) in the presence of a mighty SPEcial Tactics and Reconnoissance EXpert (SPECTREX), but I scored no less than half your score, bro!

Needs more inferno grenades.

[Kirrahe Airlines CEO]

Pretty much because the reapers are straightforward and rarely will something cheap ever happen.

[megabeast37215]

B/c rippas are ez mode....

When I want to relax on Gold I fight Carebears/Collectors... more heads to pop and more infantry to do things to like Lash/Stasis/etc.

[StoxRegalia]

I only play hazard glacier/collectors

[Sovietdeath]

U/R/G is just easy mode for most newbies unless you wanna play hammer time on U/G/G warlords just can't be brought down in that mode if played competently.

[Dr. Tim Whatley]

I don't know about BSNers but I'm sick of preset Geth lobbies. Too many of them. Makes me sick.

[mandalorian sun]

I remember a time when reapers were the most feared faction. The sight of two banshee's teleporting into your face like the little girl from the Ring sent shivers to your boots. Now? pssh, kite them easy, or just ignore them if you're a vanguard or something and kill other things, let the teammates kite them.

Cerberus? Sure phantoms were scary still, but they didn't used to completely overwhelm your position, and there were less engineers laying turrets down, and biotic explosions had crazy radius so you could use the atlas's to AOE the phantoms, and of course no dragoons. Now? Some would argue they are the hardest faction

Geth? Didn't have bombers, or combat drones that stunned, and pyros could be grabbed from cover. Not to mention pyro's didn't have napalm that hit you from orbit either. Geth already had a reputation for cheap stunning (hunter anyone?) and freak rocket troopers with multi-rockets, but if you hid in the corner you didn't get grenaded or sync-killed. Now? Inconsistent. Sometimes they feel like a cakewalk, but sometimes it's a sickening stunfest where hunters snipe you, and two primes place two turrets and two drones behind you when you weren't looking

I won't talk much about collectors because frankly scions, praetorians, captains and plagues are just stupid. The DPS they dish out is insane. IMHO the hardest faction

Don't get me wrong, i love a good U/U/G, but only when the PUG's look competent.

[XPERIA_Z]

On Gold I go usually U/U , unless I wanna have fun with a specific character (Shadow against Cerberus = :wub:Vanguard against Collectors = :sick:). On Platinum I prefer Reapers , cos' U need only 1 good teammate to get the job done.

[Daxamite]

If playing with friends then we usually play u/u/g although I Jane started requesting specific maps as I'm getting close to map mastery .

Yesterday was the only time I've ever set it to reapers , I wanted some easier matches
