Trying out Vanilla human female infiltrator 4/6/6/6/4 build equipped with a Claymore... good success. Even had a killstreak with a well-thrown sticky grenade, which was awesome. I played with a friend of mine which is a wicked good player and two other low-CP/N7 points but they're okay players.
...AND STILL NO HURRICANE NOT EVEN AT LEVEL 1 AT MORE LIKE 430 HOURS PLAYING OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.
The Hurricane is overrated.
...oh, wait. It's not 
Teamwork? Powers? Anyone?
Sick and tired of solo everything.
What's wrong with not using powers? I'm mainly a weapons guy (well, currently at least). I barely use any power that isn't defensive-type.
EDIT: I like this one better.
DECIMATED
I tried the Talon GI, finally, and ran into upper-reality who had a Venom X and using a Vorcha in a team of people who can detonate. The Geth Never stood a chance. I came in second with 80k points to their 160k. My one complaint was... I was using a 0 Fitness Hunter Mode build AND playing like a berserker, and the Juggernaut STILL died more than me, HOW!?
Still, it was fast, smooth, and fun.
It's pronounced "pug-nawshuss".
Twins
Or lovers, maybe. Two players with almost the same PSN (the only difference was a dash). using the same character (N7 Fury) and the same gear ! One was using the N7 Hurricane, the other one the Tempest, though. They were competent so I didn't get a double dose of bad PUGs 
.
It's pronounced "pug-nawshuss".
Pug-noxious? Seems legit 
I actually tought it was pug-nay-shuss but noxious is funnier.
Yeah, things would be a lot easier if they used the same name on the forum and in-game
To be fair - I've used this name on BSN before there was Origin (it was the EADM then) since I created the account for Dragon Age: Origins - they were 2 totally different accounts, 2 totally different log-ins 
CorpusDei or CorpusCani have been my gaming handles since the days where you could toggle your name in the console on Half-Life - used to switch the name in Team Fortress Classic depending on whether I was playing an offensive or defensive role... I think it's only my PSN handle that's still CorpusCani now.
Smashing!
Other than two games I had with friends, all of my yesterday's games were pugs. While the majority of them were insignificant enough to mention, the last 2 were goofy as hell.
1) Savior
So I land in a GiP only to be greeted by a barrage of gunfire, a couple of teammate has flatlined and the announcer getting his panties in a bunch over a drone that's not moving while still in the loading screen. Which is already a good indication that dis gon b gud. When I finally loaded in I realized just how big of a fustercluck it was. Cerby/ Rio wave 10, one guy is kaput, another is hiding in the box of shame (and later gets synced), a Juggy is trying to take on a Phantom bum rush party only to get smacked repeatedly and bleed out and I have a couple of Atlases and a turret pinning me down at the LZ. Oh, and there's a an escort drone on the bridge and a little over a minute left, good luck. -.-
Long story short, a few missiles later I managed to clutch wave 10 and wave 11 went surprisingly smooth and according to SOP- camp the back area of the map until roughly 30 seconds out and then gun it towards the shuttle. Full extraction. I was last on the post game scoreboard (naturally, although I did manage to get 10 HS, 25 kills and 10 assists medal) and the other 3 guys had roughly the same score of 100k. I then take a look at the time- 42 minutes! Hands down the longest team game I've ever seen. At this point I was sure the 3 guys were newbies who bit way more than they could chew and it was admirable that they even made it to wave 10. Then we got back to the lobby... 2 guys were wearing BotB while the other had an alternate Lone Wolf and all 3 were carrying URs that were rank 7 or higher. I wasn't sure how to process this information so I just left without saying anything.
2) Wtf?
I'm not sure if this was a game glitch or a mod but dead enemies would not disappear until the end of the wave. Which meant that by the end of wave 7, there were dead Reapers everywhere and everyone's frame rate was in the toilet. The host left at about the end of wave 9, probably due to low frames and I lost connection during migration. Shame, the team was actually pretty good.
Slow
I joined with my Batarian Sentinel in the middle of a Gold game on Giant and there were 3 Juggernauts. They didn't play badly and at the end the host switched to Platinum. So I thought "Why the hell not?" and switched to my Juggernaut, too (I blame peer pressure ). I wouldn't have had proper weapon mods or ammo for Plat on another kit anyway. Dagger, Geth. 29min later we extracted. It wasn't even difficult, just really sloooooow. Had the top score without using my Siege Pulse even once. 
Fast
I joined a lobby with my Paladin and there were already a Fury, a Destroyer and a Demolisher waiting. Gold/Giant/Cerberus. Really nice game, everyone knew what had to be done, there wasn't a single problem. 17min. I would have played more games with those 3 guys but two of them left. Had the top score because people were so nice and detonated my Snap Freeze for me.
@TheShadyEngineer: We played 2 or 3 games together last night. The first one was laggy as hell for me, so I left and looked for another one. Imagine my surprise when I joined a game and there you were again. Still had a bit of lag but that didn't matter because I was playing weird combinations for challenge points. So it definitely wasn't my A game. ^^

Sure did. I wanted to post about it but couldn't remember your name. Also don't worry about your performance, you did great. Especially in one of the hacks we had against collectors where the other 2 team mates got synced by a crab. Was damn lucky to have you.
Good games.
TEAMWORK! (For once!)
Wraith QFI + Paladin GI: Both over 100k points, BUT WHO CARES, TEAMWORK!
Juggernaut and Volus: Both under 60k, BUT WHO CARES, TEAMWORK!
Points be damned, that was a fun game. The volus saved me from DOT effects more than once, and the Juggernaut liked to try to tank banshees, which made it easier for the weapon damage + sticky grenades to really lay on in the Recon Mine field! I'm only sad the host left and no one stayed for migration, since I'd totally be down for more rounds with them. Between my wraith IV and the GI's Paladin IX, and our cloak boosts, nothing survived long enough to be a threat.
TURRETS!
Had a weird pug game on Vancouver/Cerberus/Gold where the team thought they wanted to camp in the upper office, but kept running out to be downed by turrets. That one way over at the end of the hall at the top of the ramp, it was up the entire game. Two more out on the deck. They would just run out there and die, start a revive chain, run back into the office, turn around, forget the turrets were there, run back out and die again.
I was too busy killing Phantoms and Atlases to bother with Turrets. Somehow we made full extraction. I think it was when I destroyed the hall Turret, allowing the team to escape
VeryPug
So a host on Platinum(didn't get to play with him 'cause he booted himself out)was using the Falcon and CSMG, but his Falcon had Stability mod and Heavy piercing mod. LOL! He had 4,000 of N7 and 40,000 worth of CPs. I would have thought someone like him knew better by now.

I'm always confused how high-score and BoTB people can sometimes be the worst of the worst....I just don't get it D:
I always assume they have edited the score somehow with an external tool or something...or that they're experimenting with odd combos.

I myself experiment a lot (Example: I managed to make the GPSMG absolutely brutal on the Geth Engineer, got 150k points on gold) but there's just some things that baffle the mind. Things like the Smart Choke on the Reegar, or Piercing Mods on the Geth Plasma Shotgun. Stability mods on the Collector Rifle/SMG.Stuff like that.
But no, the frustrating part is, less experienced players see the "pros" using these wtf loadouts and imitate them because hey, the experienced people know what they're doing, right? (I kid you not, I've had entire lobbies change their class and weapons to match me, and try to follow me and learn from what I was doing, before.)
That said, I have no word for my last pug since I'm lagging too bad to play today. I tried playing a completely solo private match, and completely unloaded a TGI's Overload + Cloaked Harrier on a Marauder, popping a stim pack as I did so, and I still died instead of the marauder because LOL LAG SCREW YOU PLAYER.
Sweet
Just finished a nice game on Ghost/Collectors/Gold. Very smooth match, 18 mins, all four players finished very close scorewise.
Lag-horror
Dropped into an ongoing game, Vancouver/Reapers/Gold. My Drellgurad had a hard time hitting anything, Ops Packs needed more than a second to kick in, but somehow I managed to extract afterall.

Errrr....how can you have lag on a private solo? D:
Normal
Reactor/Reapers. Competent team, tons of revives, easy objectives, full extraction in only 21 minutes...wake me up when the drama begins.
Retour en haut
