PC ?
One of the most weird game I have ever had. Besides the host using the Hydra glitch, my Acolyte had 1945 bullets, and I never had to reload ! I could have stripped the shields of the entire galaxy with this gun lol. The host left a few waves later and it became normal (extremely laggy, though) but, at the end, I got a score close to Crashuit's amount of credits : 214 483 647 points ! Can someone outscore me
?
I saw that when the match ended. I thought "man. you've been busy". 
Second.
The second time I've ever seen 10 Waves Survived on Gold. Interestingly, both cases were those rare Gold PUGs where no-one's playing an Infiltrator.
Shameful Display
I ran out of medigels with my VolGuard on wave 4 I think. I continued to watch at least 3 waves as audience. The guy did good damage but I just couldn't keep him alive.
Well, the first one...
I was planning to set up my Shadow in a lobby and then surf BSN until the lobby filled (in the past that could take up to an hour.)
Of course what I actually did was start the lobby and proceed to surf BSN without setting anything up.
(Many of you know where this is going.)
Half-way through typing some snarky smart-ass comment on BSN I realize that I have just started a game as host while using the Volus Adept that I'd been using in Silver yesterday spec'd for Melee damage with a Batarian Gauntlet. With no equipment. On White/Cerberus/Gold.
There was no way out of it... I was "that guy." I could either abandon them or spend the match as a liability, and I figured their odds were better if they got a random fourth who may have equipment on (and something other than a barely competent Volus nut-puncher.)
The second one went much better, what with me actually having an equipped Shadow as intended.
you know... shoot at the Guardian right foot with the acolyte......
I know, not an issue for me as I always pack the Collector SMG as a secondary.
Embarrasing
Geth/Dagger/Gold Between the Shadow, Incidiary Reegar Kroguard, and Krolord, my poor Havok had nothing to kill. Or enough DPS to kill it before one of those three dropped it near-instantly. I managed a whole 53K points... And yet, despite me being basically useless, the enemies clearly disagreed. All I had to do was pop around a corner, and everything in the area would spin around and fire at me. Stupid stunlocking geth. It did make me a good distraction during the devices at least!
Bronze
My Cabal and I searched for a UUP and got thrown into a bronze GIP on hydra. Not to be outdone by EAs stellar matchmaking, I proceeded to Hurricane every single thing I laid my eyes on in an effort to end the match quickly. This included doing objectives as fast as turianly possible, so I most definitely ran with the pizza all 3 times we got it. Happy to report that it ended in 15 minutes, and that it only takes 2 clips of a hurricane to take down a shielded atlas 
That should teach matchmaking a thing or two

My level 1 BatSol plopped into a Silver Hydra game with a guy who sat off the map in the corner and scored all of about 5000 points by the end.

My understanding of that phenomenon is that when people start a lobby at one difficulty, then later keep the same lobby going but change the difficulty, people get matched up as though they were searching for that lobby's original difficulty, not the current one. This works with any difficulty changed to any other. Start as Bronze, change to Gold? Pulls in Bronze players. Start as Platinum, change to Silver? Pull in Platinum players.
I've been had!
But this is not always the case, true?

As long as he was sniping, that's totally cool

The only plat solo I did I was tempted to get the CSMG with me (GT-flamer build/acolyte) just for the guardian purposes... I end up to avoid it... It took a bit with the guardian waves (was reaper/giant so not too bad) but the atlas exploding next to them took good care of some...
Slip-n-slide!
Apparently the stairs in London make really good slides when your body is dead and limp. I went on the ride at least 10 times last game...
JugaNOT!
Seriously, we've all played with tons of awful jugabots, but this guy was the absolute worst I've ever seen. He ran (okay--"lumbered") away from every damn banshee and brute he saw. Not "backed up to avoid a stagger so he could have room to shoot 'em"; actually turned and headed in the opposite direction every damn time as if he had no clue he couldn't be sync-killed. Making the situation worse was that neither of the other 2 players had any business in gold, either (this was a GIP, or I would've quit the lobby the second I saw their under-120 N7s). Solo'd the second halves of waves 7 and 8, but when all 3 died early in wave 9, I just didn't have the energy to do 9 and 10 alone and let myself bleed out. I know, I know--hardly an uncommon experience in gold/plat, but still the most frustrating one I've had in a while (which actually speaks well about the fact that I've apparently had some pretty good PUG teammates recently...)
CarryBeen a long time, actually, since I had to carry a lobby. But got a refresher course last night on Glacier/Reaper/Gold.Carry may not be the right word. The game went relatively smoothly for 7 waves, despite the fact that one player was a brand new human soldier who constantly faceplanted (I revived him as much as I reasonably could, but half the time he was over in BFE, so...) and another was a typical heavy melee Juggy. There was an Asari Infiltrator there who was keeping up with me with relative ease (I was a Batarian Soldier).But then everything went to pot on Wave 8....
This, this is my surprised face 
Ninja'd
Dropped into a lobby with a Fury specced for gold armed with the suppressor...and the host ninja switched to platinum. Which didn't sink in until I was staring at Shepard's laptop. Surprisingly I did pretty well, which I would not have predicting whatsoever.
It's been one of those days.Lag.Disconnects.Unable to verify DLC.And in my last game, the host buggered off and left me on wave 6. (There was only the 2 of us).Couldn't be bothered, so I ran over to the first spawn, got knocked down, and to add insult to injury........Stomped in the nuts.Ouch.
You should have expected that. The Reapers are fearsome and intelligent enemies, and they know all our weaknesses... 
EnjoyableBanter
Played a bunch of late night UUP games last night with PurpGuy1 and Darker Pharoah - we pretty much rocked all of them, but there was this one exchange that makes me laugh every time I think of it.
First a little background. We got Ghost (hazard, I think) against Collectors, and we we're kicking ass. Purp got downed wave 4ish I believe and here's what follows:
Me (in good humor): Even Batarians go down every once and awhile, Purp
I head over to revive him, do so and then get downed myself two seconds later
Purp: What was that about superior Quarian shields ark?
A brief exchange, but I lol'd
The rest of our matches followed suit
Freeze
Only match I had time for tonight. Collectors/Ghost/Gold. Two Vorcha Soldiers, two Krogan Sentinels (one was me). Shoulda been a good Blood Pack room. Match goes okay until, much like my PUG last night, everyone started dying a TON on Waves 8 and 9. Had to solo the end of both of those.
Wave 10, pizza. I deliver the first. Other Krogan gets the second. We get blocked by two crabs - one possessed - and as someone whips out a rocket to clear the path, I hard freeze.
No credits, after all of that. My fault, though. I forgot to nuke the crabs at start of Wave 8... led to first match of the night hard freezing. 
It's quite impressive. I'm spectating someone who just escaped a 4 star police chase with a cargobob. Never seen anyone do it before. Oh, I realize that's not an ME 3 pug, but I died trying to lure the police away, so I'm killing time while I watch.
Really?
1st match of the day= hard freeze. Hazard Ghost/Reapers/Bronze. BRONZE. SRSLY?
RAVAGERSEVERYWHERE!

Gawdallmighty, I hate London.
Collectors
First game of the night I spawned into a game in progress. Giant, Collectors, Gold. One of the other players, I've run into him a few times before, was a Juggy who knew what he was doing. Because when wave 8 rolled around we both began to immediately nuke double crabs. Didn't work though, as I was just about to nuke another pair the game froze.
So I restart and reload and get another game in progress, but this time it's Hazard Giant, Collectors, Gold. I spawn in and notice everyone's down already. On wave 2! I think 'not a good omen'. Boy, was I right. I had to clutch every wave. It might've well as been a solo. Get back to the lobby and see that these guys were noobs as you can get.
I try another search and get Collectors, White, Gold. Wave 4 begins and I'm starting to 'teleport'. I think 'O, Oh!'. And when I get disconnected I'm not surprised, but I am when EA servers go down. So I called it a day. Well a night, technically.
Praetorians
So many praetorians. On a bronze 'devices' wave in Firebase Reactor Hazard. Each and every one seemed to be accompanied by two scions, as well. I swear, they saved up their wave budget from the other nine waves for wave 10 and 11.
