Tried a no Hunter Mode build for GI using Javelin V.
Played successive Geth gold games with a bunch of good players.
Equipping the shield regeneration thing level 3 on a fully specced for health Geth was quite funny, because the shield regeneration was so fast!
Anyways.....I don't think my GI would get an invitation to any Geth Social Gatherings soon, considering how many of its brethren that it killed.
LowBlowHax
Probably the worst kind of hacked lobby I've been in on PC. The only hax was that there was no cooldown, and because of this, enemies don't have a cooldown either. By entering "enablepowercooldown 0" it is also a universal command that affects both enemy and self. The host also had sh*t lag which made the game a little unbearable. But this was only LolSilver. Of course, I showed off my hax as well, and clearly, the host couldn't even walk through walls. NewbHAX!
Floating.
Not really a pug, but don't feel like creating a new post. Dagger/P/Reaper. I was a vanilla HA. One of the later waves I hit a phantom with singularity then heavy meleed her. She started to fly off the map at the end of the long corridor, but then stopped. On my screen she was upside down about 20 feet up. From there she was shooting me and the other survivor of that wave. Down to just her but she is invincible. The host was trying to direct us as she was apparently very much on the ground but invisible to us. The other player had the launcher out and fired a missile when we finally found her as she gutted me. At least we knew exactly where she was.
Something similar happened to me on Dagger too, but it was centurion for me. Although I didn't send him flying, but just killed (or so I thought). He downed me later. Last man standing managed to take him down, although it seems he has never seen something like that.
One thing, camping the LZ during pizza runs is to try to keep the path clear for delivery. On some maps the enemy camps the LZ after the first delivery and before the second if it's unoccupied. White is a notable example.
Never noticed that, will keep that in mind. Mostly see enemies there being drawn there by players sitting there. Happens to me on Ghost all time (or maybe it's one of those maps you're talking about?). Super annoying to pizza there.
OT: Mildly amusing (pick whatever of those words as "one").
Had mildly lulzy moment during recent Glacier/Cerberus/Gold. I was playing paladin and we also had slayer and probably an engineer of some sort there. That was a lot of explosions. Two somewhat funny moment took place during that game.
First one was when I got downed on stairs with ammo box and then revived. Apparently, I've ended up outside of the map.
So, I was teleported into the spawning point.
...Cerb engineer and his buddy peacefully set up turret and they're almost done. He certainly didn't expect a freaking paladin appearing out of nowhere behind him, especially considering he was on the other side of the map three seconds ago.
I certainly didn't expect to end up alone in front of the turret and two engies as well since, you know, I was with my team just a few seconds ago.
I had a moment to say "hi". And also prime things before going into shield stance to block turret's hail. Rather bad habit that always gets me killed against geth hunters saved me this time. Those dudes were the last on that wave too...
Later on we had two of us downed and had to duo the last remaining enemies. We figured out that there are 2 atlases left sticking together, so we just cover camped and spammed powers. Dozens of all sorts of explosions and bursts later, second atlas went down after the first one, but wave doesn't end. When smoke revealed, I noticed someone lying on the floor, motionless but alive still. That was guardian. Damn, that dude was approaching us with those atlases and tanked endless combos we spammed, enough to kill two atlases. No wonder he was looking a little tired.
We didn't manage to find his shield btw.
Valiant had four shots. Then, I fell through the map on Jade and re-spawned and Valiant started to have 5 shots after that. Otherwise, a very smooth game. In another also nice game,piranha had 8 charges in the barrel but was able to actually shoot only 7. 
Eighth just disappeared somewhere. 
Valiant glitch is quite common but glitch with piranha I see for the second time, it is quite rare.
Nuclearwarfare
Opened an U/U/G lobby and went full cheese with my QME+Arc Pistol+Grenade Capacity. First round was Goddess/Cerberus.>:] Obviously, it lasted less than 20 minutes with everything dying in a hail of grenade spam and tech/fire explosions even with bad pugs who couldn't even get half my score.
Next, it gave me Hydra/geth, which with its completely predictable spawns and long sight lines for Arc Pistol headshots was even more one sided. I felt really bad for everyone else in the lobby and switched to claymore QFE, but basically the same thing happened when I got reapers on hazard white.
Quarians are OP.
hax
Landed in wave 1 or 2 of a Reactor/Collectors/Gold game in progress. After a minute I realized there were too many enemies on the board at once, but it was subtle. There were maybe 10 at a time, but they seemed a little weaker than normal, and bosses showed up a little sooner than normal. It was a nice mod. Then on extraction we got eleventy trillion credits.
After that, I hosted a public Neptune/U/G that turned into Collectors. Around wave 2 or 3, the other slots filled up. I felt bad for the pugs because I'd made some coalesced changes that inadvertently made the game run twice as fast. They had spirit though, and nobody quit. We made partial extraction, and also got eleventy trillion more credits.
Kiting
Goddess/Reapers/Gold, wave ten devices. I noticed I had the attention of just about every enemy on the field, so instead of killing some (which was pretty hard to do when every enemy wanted my head), I ran around like a lunatic.Two ravagers, two banshees and a brute followed me around as I ran laps through the center area with the garden beds. It gave the guys disabling the devices a bit of breathing room, and let my Asari Valkyrie exorcise some demons through exercise. That bit of amusing gameplay made up for the Banshee hug on wave five, maybe my Valkyrie looked like someone she knew before she became a Reaper pawn.
schooled
Bronze game was hosted by a BotB level 20 N7 Destroyer with a Typhoon VIII. He came in 3rd place score, beaten by a level 1 KroSent with a Wraith X (me) and a level 18 Asari Valkyrie with a Phalanx VII (1st place score).
bugs
Literally and figuratively, we were on White Collectors Gold, I was playing n7 destroyer. One round a captain got stuck laying down in the ground but could still shoot and launch swarms, we could finally kill him once he was the last enemy. Round six host left or lost connection after objectives done but before round cleared, but luckily I kept my consumables I think. Also my destroyer could sidestep with devastator mode on, and also one time I accidentally did the rare side roll during a reload, so that was kind of cool. Also it was neat that everyone stayed during migration, and we got a fourth right away, everyone was decent.
backpack
Two meanings, not only did I carry a few pugs tonight, but over the last few games I also delivered five pizzas.

Maybe he's just playing it to relax. I too have occasionally used high-leveled characters/gears/weapons in bronze and silver to just goof around.
...why?
Why must you insist on fighting everything at the device? Plat/Reapers/Hazard Glacier(Preset? Wat?) with three others with vastly larger CP scores than I. One of the guys had 62 promotions, for pete's sake. And yet they failed to complete the device while I was busy getting stabbed on the far side of the map trying to distract the enemies, and then decided the best course of action was to chain res each other while repeatedly failing to finish the device. Ended up failing at wave 10.
At the end, my Subnet only Batsent scored about 20k points less than the best, an AIU with a Venom X. Seriously, that shouldn't be happening, guys. Why. Just...why.
"Cheater".
First time I got accused of cheating on my new PC account because I played the Fury... kinda okay? On host Fury with Hurricane I, Acolyte VII, SMG I, Crutch Scanner, Warp II...
Get Geth Dagger Hazard Gold- during Wave 11 5700 BOTB Raider X AIU gets super condescending at at me for "modding my coalesced". He doesn't listen when I tell him to go look up some Fury solos and see how fast real players actually go.
I scored well but I wasn't really playing that well- four scrubby gels go to running into Primes when I shouldn't have.
At least I understand now why he shot all of his remaining missiles into spawns at the start of wave 10 escort.
Maybe he's just playing it to relax. I too have occasionally used high-leveled characters/gears/weapons in bronze and silver to just goof around.
The destroyer is also quite slow, if you play with a decent team on bronze most things are dead before you reach the spawn points....
The Destroyer is slow, but Typhoon bullets are faster than melee kits and should have gotten there first
Typical
Wave 1 starts, the host stands in the middle of the open. The very first trooper downs him, he gets on his mic and starts complaining about "op sh*t". I didn't get to him in time, he got executed. Host leaves, migration fails, I'm back at the title screen. The entire thing went down in about 20 seconds.
Now for the surprise twist at the end: This was in Gears of War 3. It's more like ME3 than I thought!
15+ revive medal 3 times in a row. Can't say I was mad tho. The PUGS were really nice and trying hard with objectives and stuff.
@ Purpguy
Know this is the wrong thread, but did we meet in a pug last week?
A London game vs (can't remember). Were playing with "Al e gatorr" and a 3rd i cannot remember?
OT: just had time for a 30 min game and my UUG search got me into a Vancouver/Geth game.
Awesome players, full extraction and a 18 min game (sub 20's are rare when puggin' in my world)
A good way to quit playing 4 today :-)
That sounds right, Al is one of my main party members for ME3
I thought that Gold/Cerberus/Reactor Hazard game seemed to be lasting a long time (41 mins).
Now I know why, 450000 odd credits at the end.
Cheapskates 
WWRRAAAHHHH!!! FOR TUCHANKAA!!! WRAHAHAHAHA!!! BOOM!!!
That's what you get when 4 Krogan with 4 Claymoars get together. Most awesome PUG I've ever played. Praise be upon the High Lord for bringing us together and thanks MilkyBarKid, Gan16 and Balbock for the fun.
Last three pugs, summed up in one word per game:
TurianSupremacy. Three Turians (two OG) and one Krogan. Cerberus may never recover.
OP. A Paladin, a Krogan soldier, a Tsent and a vanilla HSent all meet on Giant. Everyone uses incendiary ammo, and it's an 18 minute run.
Volus! Three Volus and an Asari walk into a bar wreck the Geth.
