Modded.
I knew something was fishy when wave 1 of Hydra/Cerberus/Gold started with 2 Atlases in front of me. Looked left and yup, there were another ten or so. The game was actually quite easy (no Phantoms) and I only used 1 medi-gel going into wave 10. Got targets and I expended 5 of my Cobras, 2 on targets and 3 to clear clusters of Atlases, Scions and other bosses. Imagine my surprise when the next wave was not extraction but more enemies. The enemies kept coming and eventually, we extracted on wave 25. Despite there being more than 20 waves, the whole game lasted only just over 30 mins.
Could have shaved a couple of minutes off but the game was more or less a duo between the host and I. The other two PUGs were clearly struggling. One was a melee Juggernaut who had a really bad time trying to melee with a whole army of Atlases pounding away at him or being chased by five or six Banshees. I actually expended my last missile to save him for said Banshees.
All in all, an interesting game.

I started a public solo UUG. got hydra/cerbs. I didn't have a very good day so I got out my Kroguard and his trusty reegar. Wave 2 ended with me smiling. Snow_leopard joined (swear I have seen that name before) with a krogan. We headbutted like all krogan should, wave 3 start.....game lockup then CTD.
The power of the Krogan headbutt - your machine obviously couldn't cope with the awesome!
BEkillstreak
To open wave 1, we got White/Reaper/Gold. Guess my teammates shot the shields off the 2 marauders because it was a simple Singularity / Shockwave on the first spawn which yielded the killstreak.
I was using an alt account with the HA (and a Predator IV), no equipment or consumables. Still an easy match with that map/enemy set-up.
We had started as a 3 player group and were joined in wave 1 by a very well played Warlord. Dayum, Warp followed by Biotic Hammer crushes
"Ugh."
So we have a player with very high N7 readying up with NO GEAR BONUS. GREAT START. At least the other two had level 1 gear bonuses on!
Reapers/Reactor/Gold. Drellguard (Me) Kroguard, Paladin, and Batsent. When my survival depends entirely on movement, the fact that these guys would take the time I spent fighting to close in and cluster around me so I can't freaking move = "Am I being trolled?" For bonus points, the Kroguard did nothing but spam carnage, from what I saw.
And to make matters worse, my aim was glitching out; whenever I fired my gun, the camera would lower, as if a Volus was shooting. That was irritating to adapt to!
I ragequit on WAVE 2.

I assume you are using an infinite ammo weapon like the PPR. This is a known glitch with Drell kits.

Indeed, I was using the lancer. I did not know about that glitch, and it was my first time encountering it.
I'll be aware of that in the future, thanks for clarifying!

Yes is annoying but you get use to it...

Do you ever have a game that you enjoy? Just asking.

If I didn't, why would I still be playing?
I just complain a lot, is all. Don't mind me.
Good!
Sure, we had a less experienced who was doing stupid things, but he was following my lead. Just badly. I give the guy credit for trying, at least!
White/Cerberus/Gold. N7 Shadow (Me) N7 Slayer (Less experienced player) Salarian Infiltrator, and Talon Merc. I had the Geth Scanner for slashing through walls. The slayer probably noticed I had it equipped in the lobby, took prompts and tried to mirror my swath of slashes, but would often do so from a vulnerable position. (Example: The farthest door from the LZ. I was slashing at something taking cover behind the crate near it, from right up against the wall. This guy stood farther back and got sniped through the other doorway.)
I disconnected on wave 4 or 5, but man, that's the first purely PUG match to go so smoothly in awhile time. Only two drops (both were the slayer) and zero stomping. None of this revive medal on wave 1 stuff!
Headbutt-or-die (or both)
Since noone wanted to join my UUG lobby, I've taken my Kroguard for a cheese trip: reegaring my way through Cerberus bellies on silver Reactor solo. Another Kroguard joins: hilarity ensues. And ragdolls. Lots of ragdolls.
The thing is, he does not headbutt back ![]()
Guy gets downed by Phantom just after we finished targets on wave 10. After a brief cleanup there's me and that Atlas I've decided to headbutt to death. After a minute or so - Atlas gets bored of the joke and executes an instagib.
Still worth the laughs tho.

Kroguard guy stays for another match and some folks join in. Collectors on Dagger. Game goes pretty smooth, but the sight headbuttless kroguard still hurts. Inside.
The next game i nuked the first enemy in sight and it was very satisfying.
That's another shot of schnapps you have to take, remember the drinking game. ![]()
Geth Spam Mod
This was awful! Hundreds of Geth on the battlefield, mostly Geth Hunters, Pyros, Bombers and regular Troopers. Later on, Atlasses and Primes joined in on the fun. It was so bloody tough, because the sheer numbers of them were pretty overwhelming. To make matters worse, the map we fought on was firebase Rio. The would count as TheNightSlashers worst nightmare, eh?
Only a Drell can survive that. ![]()

Still better than any single cerberus enemy IMO. I'd rather die to stunlock from every single direction than any cerberus enemy.
That said, I absolutely hate mods with enemy spam. If there's one thing I hate more than cerberus, that's enemy spam. I'd rather take a diversified wave composition with 10 different kinds of enemies than have the same enemy multiplied by 20. I'd actually quit such a lobby.
Weird.

Game is going fine, then wave 10 hits. Suddenly everything freezes and the only person moving is our Salarian engineer.
It comes and goes in waves. Every 20 seconds or so it unfreezes and he ports somewhere for a second.
In between those waves of uberlag I managed to get some interesting pictures from spectating.
Make of this what you will.
I need two words to describe my last group of PUGs...
F__K Objectives.
Dead,
I can' phoenix adept. Enough said.

Wait what's the drinking game? I could get behind mass effect with good alcohol; especially after the phoenix wave grind.

Whenever you rage nuke something with a missile take a shot.

For a second I thought that was in the fade.
Maybe if I was playing an adept class I would have made it out.
