Mostannoyingmatchever (I had to make that into one word.)
This was actually a few days ago and the team got full extraction but for me it was a perfect storm of game play horror.
- Hazard Giant, I can't stand that map, I get a head ache playing it with the shaking and low light and flashes.
- Geth Flamer flaming everything in sight, even flaming at things way out of his range.
- Serial Shadow slasher that did little but slash all game.
- Chicken Juggernaught that would out run your average Volus from any trouble.

Helping
Tried to help some new players get some cash on platinum. Dropped into GIP and the first thing I heard was some talk about how easily they got downed -> instantly knew they were newbies. Usually I would have left but for some weird reason I stayed this time... Sadly first 3 waves cost me too much consumables and we wiped on wave 9
Excellent.
I've started playing again after a while (last summer) made some rookie mistakes in gold, quickly adjusted and overall got very decent pugs on Gold, bar a few exceptions here and there.
The last one in particular was great. Guys knew where they needed to be, whenever possible, concentrated on the objectives, perfect match, everyone extracted.
If only the game wasn't so buggy
Those invisible Geth Prime and the stuck Reapers are getting boresome.
If only I could get a few more guns from these silly packs, I'd feel confident to play platinum.
Awesome.
Hosted a couple Platinum games, a Reapers/White then Cerberus/Jade (I don't really do unknown/unknown on gold/platinum 'cuz I get mem leak like 8/10 times I play collectors on a hazard map, and &*@# that %&$#), and had a couple of rare good, smooth games where people actually changed their kits to match the lobby (first a biotic, then a tech team), used equipment and consumables (i.e. gels/missiles), helped each other out (revives), and all pitched in on objectives. Both were in the 20-25 min range, and I think it was a full extraction on both. Always a treat when you find a good PUG group like that, especially for platinum- good game you guys (if you happen to see this, edog-something, freeman-something, and richie-something). I would've stayed and done another but I got stuck with waiting for other players.

In lobby was a fair looking PUG team, all level 18+ tough characters (Jugg, GI, GT, BatSol) with nonzero N7 (> 500 at least). So I readied up.
At the last moment, the BatSol switched to a level 1 Volus Adept. Oh, think I, he'll have planned to stick to the Jugg and boost shields.
Nope.
Reapers on Goddess, he ran off first thing and was downed. I revived him. And again. And again on W2, and 3 and...well, you get the picture.
On W7 no one bothered to revive him after he tried to take on 2 brutes solo. He disconnected before W8, and the rest of the game was smooth for the now all-Geth team, to full extraction.
"Duo".
Thankfully, I ran into a good player. Good game KamiKaze421.
It started with a banshee hug.
Think of it as a reminder that Mothers Day is soon.

Huh?
I was playing a Vorcha Engineer and landed in a group of Novaguard, Huntress and Destroyer. Good game, everyone pulled their weight, biotic and tech explosions everywhere.
Second game, same group but we switched up our characters. I won't go into too much detail because I left early due to invisible Collectors.
It was a two game summary of the highs and lows of my ME3 experience.

Quick.
Geth, White Hazard, Gold, Shady with the AA, a GE, a Krolord and me with the Vorcha Soldier. They still don't know what hit them, we got out sub20.
Blind.
I'm serious. Haven't played in months. Took the Turian Havoc for some Havoc Strike buffoonery. Hit my stim pack on white hazard and now I'm blind. Siri spell check this for me. Help. Call the optometrist.
Spooky.
I was playing my Asarisassin on Gold Glacier Reapers, and I had the creepiest lag ever. I would randomly hear banshees screaming, and take damage at seemingly random intervals. When I got hit by Banshee Balls, the damage would come in these weird spurts or not happen at all. Even weirder, sometimes my cloak would activate and refuse to deactivate even after casting powers, and I don't have bonus power selected! Then my Dark Channel would sometimes seem to do no damage at all, but one time I swear it took down a banshee's barrier in like 2.5 seconds. At the very end, we had a situation where there were like 4 brutes and 2 banshees standing right next to each other basically just staring at me until I missiled them.
Creepiest lag ever.
Long...
Closely followed by dreadful. For some reason I decided that I wanted to PlatPug this morning before work (I get up at 4.30am) so I kitted out my Paladin and went hunting. Landed in a lobby with a decent looking TGI and we spent the next 5 minutes kicking sub 100ers and potential missile glitchers before another TGI landed in the lobby. He put on equipment when asked but refused to swap out his Eagle II (I should have run at this point). A Geth Soldier joined and we landed in Rio, Reapers. The first wave went smoothly enough aside from the trooper getting downed, bleeding out and then (presumably) quitting. Had a Phoenix join, wasn't sure whether he was a Smashguard or a Smashdept as I didn't see him use singularity or BC. First six waves went smoothly enough aside from myself and the first TGI outscoring the others by a significant margin. However eventually my morning started going terribly too, magnet grabbed by a Banshee on 8, then swarmed by mooks on 9 and had to burn gels just to get out. The TGI managed to carry us through everything. He ended up with just under 300K, I was on 160K. The Phoenix had quit on wave 9, replaced by a completely useless GI with a Black Widow who propped got sync-killed by a Phantom. The Eagle TGI finished with 48K.
After the game took 62 minutes I didn't have time for another. Thanked the TGI and then advised him to dump the other two before leaving. I think I'll stick to Gold in the mornings!!
Weird.
I was a Drellguard on Reapers/Dagger Hazard/Gold. None of the ammo boxes would fill the ammo for my gun (Blood Pack Punisher). But they did refill my grenades. So when I ran out of ammo after wave 1, I couldn't fire my gun for the rest of the game. And Thermal Clip packs only refilled grenades. Luckily all the Drellguard really needs is Charge, Pull, and Cluster Nades.
That is indeed weird. I should check if it happens in general when I go play.

Jerks.
Someone joined the match with an "N7" before their name and preceded to sit AFK. Another genius thought that he could enter platinum with a juggernaut and just stand in the open.
I will cheat and use four words.
No Clyde, no bang.
Because it's true. We wiped on the Wave 10 escort and then I was scolded for not having six medi-gel. Or he was scolding the other guy that didn't have any medi-gel. At least I had two, even though I used one to rage-gel. Meh, I'll go kill **** on PC.
Seriously?
Don't missile glitch in other people's lobby without asking or warning them first. SO selfish. I was so annoyed that I hadn't looked at peoples loadouts to spot the cheater before we started the game, I didn't have the heart to stick around til wave 3 hoping for delivery objective. Bastard. Thanks for making me waste a bunch of good equipment.
Looooooooong.
I might as well have solo'd. Got the 75 kill medal around wave 5.
Reasonable
My last few pugs have been good groups that have been successful.
