 This is my first post on a forum but I've played ME3 multiplayer mode for around 500hrs so far.

I was quite happy when AIU was released even though I first thought it was OP on the defense side, it lacked strenght on the offense. 

I was wrong. Totally wrong.

Snap Freeze is pretty weak by it self in terms of DPS. But, add on a human engineer et shadow infiltrator, and you just blast your way throught things like crazy. 

First, all I do is Snap Freeze. For the whole game. As often as I can. I slow mobs down, stun them, paralyze them. And mostly, I set them up for Combo detonation. Of course, I took the lvl 6 evolution power +100% combo damage. Anything without armor simply explodes when followed with an overload or similar power. All I ever equip is a geth scanner, no other equipement, and I pretty much finish way first, most of the time. Of course, CryoExplosion steals kills, but this aint COD or Battlefield, single kills doesn't affect much since EXP is team awarded. Considering the Area of Effet of cryoexplosion and fast reload... We litteraly crush everything on our path on gold level.

If.... People follow the AIU.

Considering I also use a Geth Scanner to see mobs through walls, why do other players turn left, when I turn right?  Why do engineer prefer to use guns instead of Overload or Incinerate? Why do all the other AIU I've seen are still using shotguns (with slower reload time)? Don't people know about teamwork and CryoExplosions anymore?

I mostly play on Glacier or White Gold cause it's smaller, and faster. But then again, lots of player don't know anything about Spawn points. I feel It could just be all the faster if people could just follow the AIU. 

Or maybe I could simply buy myself a mic and communicate with others. 

Sorry, I had to let it go... (Now I'm late!)

Why would you think an Infiltrator lacks strength?

Snap Freeze + Tac Cloak + Claymore Shot ==> Reload Cancel ==> Claymore ==> Rinse, Repeat? Overload just helps out.

100% combo damage is bugged and doesn't do anything, its already applied (another bug)

Probably worth mentioning incase OP doesn't know, but Snap Freeze doesn't repsect LoS, it goes from walls/everything else that is thinner than 15 meters (assuming you have reach in 4b)

If you want to utilize tech combos with snap freeze, why don't you just use the Paladin instead, then you don't have to hope for your team mates to follow you around.

Also, 25% damage bonus for shotguns!!! What's not to like about that?

Snap freeze on the AIU is for debuff, not (primarily) for tech combos.

Because if I don't know you, I'd rather be on the other side of the map from where you are. Nothing personal.

I follow AIUs (when they are played like that) with the Juggernaut and Siege Pulse everything they freeze. Still, I've met 2 out of probably 200 AIUs that were actually played in that manner.

Ugh, is there any part of this game that isn't bugged???

But it's a good idea to host with the AIU anyway, because Repair Matrix is damn unreliable off-host, too.

isn't it pointless to take the 100 % tech combo evo for Snap Freeze? since its bugged and u always get the 100% regardless of if you took that evo or not?

Yup. I **** off all the time and never follow people. If you need someone else to make your setup work, it's probably not working as well as it can.


Snap Freeze for Debuff only, unless you happen to be near players using tech. 

95% of the time use Tac Cloak and Raider for sincere murder rape.

Yeah, EDI is pretty much unstoppable, but I thought everyone already knew that.

If the message takes more than one shot to convey, use a cobra.

This is the single most annoying thing I've ever read. Whenever I get an AIU in the game that ONLY SNAP FREEZES, they get kicked out of the game instantly afterwards. I don't care how 'helpful' you think you're being.

I assume you also kick out all flamers, shockwavers, FQE, etc etc etc .  What is the problem with spamming snap freeze?

I'm not one for epeen, so take me at my word when I say my Wraith-wielding AIU will outscore yours. ;)

OP AIU gets a bonus to shotguns when cloaked. The bonus is only applied to shotguns.
That is why you see AIU with shotguns.

I go the other way because if you're half decent with AIU everything in your vicinity will be dead immediately.

Well why dont people pick a chain overload character and follow a flamer around... Constant priming, and detonations all over :D

If you pick a geth engineer or two, the primer (flamer) can stay up almost forever with those shield towers :D
