 I went 9 for 9 on getting Collectors while searching (and finding) U/U games.  Personally, I feel that the majority of the unknown games I find result in a collector match.

I'm curious, has anyone put in the work to find out if searching for unknowns favor certain maps or enemies?  I'd be interested in seeing some numbers...

No, I'm not raging about getting stuck with A-bombs.  I'm just a curious guy.  :)

***EDIT***

I feel like compiling some data but I need some help.  For those of you interested in helping me, I'm looking to cover several areas.  I know this may sound like a pointless test, but I just have to know.

Test 1:  Create lobby, U/U.  At the end of the game, leave lobby and repeat.

Test 2:  Create lobby, U/U.  Play to your hearts desire, never creating a new lobby.  List findings for all games played.

Test 3:  Search U/U.  At the end of game, search for new U/U.  Only record data for games that were actually U/U.

Post your findings here, along with which test you were running.

If you can think of anything else to include as a test, let me know.  I'll do my best to update this thread daily.  Thanks for everyone's help in advance!

I've had the same luck. Also get Ghost Hazard a lot when doing UU. Hate that ugly, annoying map. Or Condor.

This game has its preferences.

I always go U\\U and I wish I got the collectors more!

Love ending Scions! They make glorious kills

Not unless I'm joining in progress, at which point the link in my sig explains the rest. Usually, half my U/U/G or P games that get a lobby go against Reapers. It's just more RNG mayhem at work.

Sometimes yes, sometimes Geth. On Glacier Hazard.

I really wish we could request factions and maps we don't want, instead of ones we do.

Oh how we've all wished for that, especially when farmers have glutted up the game with lobby after lobby, after game in progress on the same map, agianst the same faction.

Even without searching. When my buddies and I first set up a lobby U/U/whatever, I would say 9 times out of 10 you can expect collectors to be the first faction to fight. Then when the host leaves and somebody else takes over, collectors again. had it happen three times in a row.

Or even you pull reactor/collectors, host leaves, then you pull Reactor Hazard/collectors, next match you get Ghost/Geth, host leaves, you pull Ghost Hazard/Geth.

The factions seem pretty evenly spread for me... but my RNG LOVES Hazard Dagger for some reason... for this reason, I prefer to choose map/faction.

Same for me!  Feels like every single time.

I bet it favors combinations you rarely play.

It feels like whenever I host an Unknown/Unknown/Gold room, the first enemy up is Collectors.

Additionally, whether I host a room or Quick Search into a room, as soon as it loads and I see it's Hazard Glacier, a quick check almost always confirms the enemy is Collectors. I swear to God, I think I've only ever played one match against Cerberus on that map... every single other time has been Collectors. That probably factors in heavily as to why I despise Hazard Glacier so very, very much (besides troll swarm repeatedly camping hack zones or "helping" the team escort the drone).

My PS3 just looooooves that combination. Image IPB

My U/U/G games used to alternate between Collectors and Geth and *always* a hazard map. The hazard part wouldn't have been as much of a problem if I weren't already done with Hazards for Map Mastery.

But yeah, it can seem like it's favoring a specific map/faction sometimes. Luck of the draw (or lack thereof).

Unknown? I love that hidden power move. My favorite is the A.

Yup Collectors all the time here too. Some times I get a hat-trick and the probability of finding them in a U/U/S game is 1.2 ...

An argument could be made in favor of that based on my challenge completion although that is a bit skewed from me playing the sh*t out of collectors when they were first released to get a hang for how to deal with them. This could also very well be from the collector challenge having fewer sub challenges.

Sooo true. The first match I hosted today: Collector/Hazard Glacier. Then the third match: Collector/Hazard Reactor. Then the fourth match was back at Hazard Glacier but against Cerberus. Fifth match... Collectors on Ghost Hazard. :sick:It seems like the RNG loves giving both hazard maps and Collectors, preferably together.

This is exactly why when i quick search for a gold lobby on my ps3 and i get thrown into a unknown, i just leave, because everytime i say to myself...nahhhh it wont be collectors. It almost always is.
So basically if the host doesnt have a enemy set, he's not gonna experience the greatness that is DeadeyeCYclops... lol.
