"Disconnected."
I looked at my upcoming challenges and thought Turiand Havoc would be fun to play. Not going to bother tweaking the kit I just want to get a quickie in. Off-host Crusader, sure! Laggy, still got twenty headshots! Host got disconnected, I'll stick with it. We have no problem dusting off Collectors.
Then Wave 11.
Disconnect.
I hate you too, game.
Now imagine this happening to you three seconds before the counter to extraction reaches zero.
Suffice to say, I was not happy.

Venom
Holy hell, the Venom. I never really understood BSN's obsession with this weapon, possibly due to mine being especially low-ranked. However, I got it up to IV, so I decided to take it for a spin on my Demolisher. We landed on Gold/Goddess/Reapers. And I promptly got a killstreak with a charged shot w/incendiary ammo and an arc grenade.
Immediately changed my mind. Top-tier weapon, 10/10. Plus you can be really obnoxious and cause never-ending screenshake with it, which definitely also counts in its favour.
Douche.
Was playing a solo gold game against Geth using a level 1 AIU with an eviscerator + level 4 gear (obviously the only kit I'm mad enough to use at level 1 on higher difficulties).
Around wave 5-6, people started coming in. We finished and on the result screen it shows my shiny level 1 with 1st place.
On lobby. Kick symbol appears next to my name.
In my own lobby. Hrmph. Obviously no one joined in for the kick but the gong of some people. >.>
I just did my first Platinum ever! With PUGs! And this is the result! *HAPPY DANCES*

I honestly didn't believe that I would make it when we started, seeing that I only carried Paladin III as my weapon, and we got upload/hack, escort ,escort, but yayyyyyyyyy!

Very nicely played ![]()
Now that I'm getting used to Gold, maybe I'll try a Platinum match someday....but with a decent team please. This afternoon has been horrible...I've carried on by myself more waves that I've ever carried in my lifetime in Silver >![]()

Honestly, at that time I was actually looking for Silver games but for some reason the game decided to land my ass on a Platinum lobby. I was freaking out for a second and almost bailed out, but then I decided to stay since I was curious how I can fare in a Platinum game. I immediately switched to my most comfortable kit to play which is Asari Huntress and equipped myself with Stronghold V, Power Amplifier Module 3, Warp 2 ammo, and Paladin III (hahaha).
I am ready to apologize for the rest of the team after what I expected to be a horrible match but the end result defy my expectations ^___^ Focusing all those Cloak-powered Dark Channel on Phantoms, Banshees, Brutes, Primes, and *especially* those bloody Ravagers really paid off, hahaha.
And now I am feeling afraid again of trying my 2nd Platinum, hahaha. I have no doubt in my mind that I need a good team to function well, though. You should try a Platinum too, just to sated that curiosity and who knows, you might land on a good group like mine!

My understanding of this is that when someone forms a lobby at one difficulty, then later changes it, people will get dropped in who are looking for the old difficulty.
Something I've noticed (on PC) is that if I search for a specific difficulty, hit cancel, and then start the search again, it's completely random what difficulty level I get.
Tolerable
Carryfail
4th into a lobby of 3 inexperienced players with low or no consumables .Gold Glacier Hazzard Collectors. This will be a challenge. Oh cool very laggy too. Couldn't carry past wave 8 . Bad fail .

Welcome to the state of enlightenment my friend.

Deep Satisfaction
"Vanguards are useless in Gold you noob!" (Yep, he said Vanguards in general).
Ended up third (Vancouver/Reapers), just above the guy who critizised me (who didn't extracted btw). With a lvl 1 Novaguard, plus no mods apart from War Amp V. Ah, and being off-host.
I should REALLY buy a mic, so I could laugh at people like them.
PUGs with max manifests, high CPs, and N7 Ranks, discussed a bit if they wanted to kick me off the lobby 'cause I was "too good" in the 2 matches we had.
1st Match: Reactor Hazard/Reapers/Platinum:
-Played Drell Adept with my Venom II and got first place on scoreboard. The whole team sucked on Wave 1! We all extracted, nonetheless.
2nd Match: Hydra/Reapers/Platinum
-Played Geth Infiltrator with Talon II and got first place again on the scoreboard.
No offense, PUGs, but I have less than 500 hours and all of my URs are under Level VII.
My word to describe my PUGs: JELLY!
Wut??
I search for a gold game and end up in a lobby where the host had about 230k challenge points. "Geez, that's gotta be the highest I've ever seen", I think to my self, "lets see whats he using".
-Slayer vanguard, with the tempest, the predator, targeting VI and a bunch of other really weird stuff.
"Humm okay, guess hes trying to gimp himself, alright then, should be fun".
The game starts (collectors, reactor) and at the end of wave 3 I think "this is really easy and where are the sicons and praetorians, wtf's going on??"
- Look at the score board, difficulty = bronze.......
.
The host then proceed to do everything you would expect someone with that much play time to do on bronze, including nuking the very first praetorian that appeared the second he saw it, not helping with the wave 10 hack and wave 6 escort, and spawn nuking on wave 11.
Lasers.
My SI had the CSR, plus there where two Juggernauts - both wielding a Particle Rifle and Reegar.
"Glory."
London Cerberus Gold with a Quarian Female Engineer. I was rounding a corner and saw three turrets. All three of them at the same time staring at me.
I was too fast for them ![]()
Set a challenge to break into the top 1000 for CP. Sitting at number #999. The lessons from the movie apply.
Bio-boom!
Had a sequence of fantastic biotic-squad games last night which ran for about four games of U/U/G with most players sticking around for a couple of games, me and one other guy staying for all before I had to bail. Some games were a little slow but we extracted every time.
Although I did have one very helpful dude explain to my AA that he had Reave so I could just throw or warp any of his targets for a biotic detonation. I didn't have my mic on, otherwise I would have politely said that I know all about biotic combos thanks ![]()
flaming vorchas.
I was trying to finish one of the achievements, so I played vorcha with a flamer for plenty of games. One of those I ended up hosting and got tired of waiting for other members (stupid football or something...) so I started solo. Later another guy joined and it turned out to be another vorcha with a flamer. Rest of the game went quite smoothly burning various reapers.
hearing voices
I switched to vorcha hunter to finish the achievement with that char, and few games later I suddenly hear in game comm someone saying stuff like vorchavorcha... harr.. hurrr (like vorcha sounds, but to the mic) That continued to the end of game. Not sure if someone realized their mic was on, or maybe it was real-life vorcha trying to communicate.
fail
then I took a drell adept with acolyte (achievements again) (and some weak smg for backup) for a few games. No problems (playing bronze), then comes wave 10 and devices. I rush to the first and rest of the team finds a big room full of various big collectors and spends their time there. I rush to the second, its in open area so I try to clear but acolyte is not the best for that and the smg was weak too. So I get to halfway disarming (or whatever) and abomination comes near and interrupts, That happens several times. Meanwhile 2 of my teammates have managed to die clearing that big room full of angry collectors. 3rd comes to help but gets eaten by praetorian. I get cornered by the same praetorian (with friends now) and waste several medigels before getting the rockets out and blasting it to pieces. After that I was alone and everything was shooting me. The game ended when I ran out of medigel. long time since I have managed to fail in bronze. I guess I need to remember that I might have to solo parts of the game, so a better weapon for a backup is needed
Sync-kill
Close to 10 sync kills. The kroguard and fury in the lobby were no match for crabs and scions in CQC battle. My poor batsent got grabbed once too.
Bootylicious.
Was waiting for a couple friends to get online, so I started a gold pug- was joined by no less than THREE AIU's, two of them wielding Reegars. Awesome variety, folks.
Superfluous.
I dropped into a glacier game with a bunch of AoE classes. There was nothing for me to kill.
