Geth Prime using tactical cloak. Couldn't see or interact with primes but they could shoot me of course.
I've had this happen before. My solution once was to just spam fire grenades around. It was on glacier, so I was relatively sure I'd hit something.
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
Good game, competent pugs and enormous payout...
I earned over 140 million credits... Again... 
It seems that nothing else was modded, but this credits thing is becoming annoying as hell...
Vive la Space Magic!!! 
N7
Hydra/Reapers/Gold. My Shadow dropped in on two Destroyers and a HEngie with N7 coloring. A good game, aside from the fact that the host had "Russia" in his name. I blame him for the fact that I had enough lag to consistently miss brutes at 5 feet.
OMG
So I was unloading credits to stock up on supplies, using the trick where you remove the DLC folders so the game only loads up base.
Afterwords I decide to see if there's a game running without expansions.
THERE IS!
White/Geth/Gold
and yes, it looked like they were camping the bottom.
No, I didn't stay.
What kind of idiot host do you have to be to ragequit a game on wave 11 with a minute to extraction?
If you're committed to 10 waves, why not just wait? There's still three other players.
It doesn't matter if you bleed out and have to spectate. You still get money after.
Just doesn't make sense to me.
Weird
HazGhost/Geth/Gold. My Hurricane Cabal, a GPS GI, a Krysae Destroyer, and a Claymore QFE.
The other three tried to camp in various areas most of the match so I just went with them. And normally against geth, that's not really a problem. Except it was. They just flat out piled on top of us the entire time. We didn't have the firepower to keep them away, which was just weird - the lowest score was 130K! With that kind of scoring, we should have been putting out more than enough DPS. Yet we pretty much all spent the whole game frantically mowing down everything at point blank. Even the drones and rocket troopers were bumrushing us! 
There was a LOT of dying and reviving. We did somehow manage a full extraction though.
An absolute chore.
I got thrown in during wave 10, mid-objective. Everyone was dead but one guy. I spawned right next to a banshee and had to run for my goddamn life. Ended up having to missile a couple of brutes so the guy could complete the objectives without dying. Didn't get a revive when I fell, which is a fantastic display of gratitude. When we got to the scores at the end, the host just immediately left.
Charming.
W6 escort, I run to start it up, follow the ball for a while, nobody joins me. I nicely point out the escort, then start quoting the drone about needing
Did you try to replicate the drone's synthetical voice when quoting him or did you not even bother ? It's all about commitment. Anyways, it was really nice of you to give that hug to that scion. I know how they suffer from segragation and need the occasional gesture of affection, not a lot of people would have done it , willingly...
Scions need some tenderness, too, and in that crowd, that scion deserved it more than the pugs.
I only do my synthetical voice impressions when playing with Big Juggs... 
This unit is moving at maximum velocity.
I also wish I had the patience to simply run around for over 10 minutes kiting the last enemy. (Anyone remember who it was here on the forum who did that?)

I remove DLCs from time to time just to play a couple of games with those folks. Games can be hilarious, guess because they are jumping from the singleplayer. Afterwards, I always make them aware of DLCs and that they need to install it in order to access much larger playerbase.
PUGs are awful creatures. 
PUGs are awful creatures.
Couldn't have said it better.
I was in a Platinum game just a couple of hours ago. The host was constantly mumbling something about cheating. I was using my Claymore HSol (lol what else) and he was an Acolyte GT. The other pugs were pretty cool, I have met them quite a few times. Soooo, I mangled every single target before they even start to get warm by his Lamer. He did not even help with the Escort. He then gets slashed by a Phantom, I headshot her, he ragequits.
So IF the "cheating" was about my double barrel Claymore, then newsflash for you buddy. We might be on the same flight, but you're not Business Class. Get something else next time. Like a life.
PUGs are awful creatures.
How dare you!
MemleakPugs
Just about every host pug I've ran into is memleaking. And I prefer playing off host because the frames are better if the pugs weren't diseased.
Collector Adept is also the worst off host kit bar none.
Had an encounter with my nemesis : N7_Jutsu , also known as -The Undying Ruler of the Hidden Village of the Scorewhoring Fortress-. I spent a few seconds observing the way he played and all I saw was madness, the guy has to have serious issues. Unfortunately for him even his highly elaborated and polished topscorer strategy (running around like a madman, selecting targets that will grant him points faster, not bothering with revives or missions, and spawn nuking as much as possible even on wave 11) wasn't able to grant him victory. I think he's starting to lose his grip. He might come up with some forbidden jutsu and go all Orochimaru on us if things don't change, be on the lookout for this guy...
Also theres's a PC player (forgot his name ) that should be banned for violating people's appreciation of the miracle of sound. I think he's Russian but it could be another eastern language how would I know. He's got a terrible mic, way too loud, no headphones. You constantly hear a noise that I think is the sound of his old computer computing. Pretty much all background noises (cars and stuff), the loud conversations he has with his buddy. You can ascertain everything he's doing from the sound coming out of his own speakers. Tried to tell him several times that he had to do something about his mic but I got no reaction from him.
Hear me PC players, someting has to be done about this guy, we need to find him and get someone to explain the situation, or make him disappear, at this point I don't really care... Mission codname is -Ballet at Bolshoi-, we have 10 days , after that, it'll be too late.

Can you record some of the stuff he says? I can at least ascertain whether he's Russian or not

If I ever run into him again I'll do that, but I hope I won't have to !
Funny enough, just PUGged Platinum with a talkative Russian (not the one LightRobot wrote about). A dad was on the mic explaining the game to his elementary school-age son, who loudly and excitedly commented on everything he saw. The dad played well with his GT until suddenly he had to go around wave 9. We wiped at wave 10 after doing the objective.

Important father-son time. I approve of gaming with kids. Corrupt Teach them young!

My daughter sometimes watches me play. Her favourite enemy is "the spider" (Praetorian).

My cousins watch me play sometimes as well, they love 'big monkeys' (brutes), web (submission net), grande gun (Venom), and they like Turians (because they have to if they want me to let them watch or play) and Krogan. I think I though them well.

Those kids are smart, are they hispanic? *so am I* because the venom is a big looking gun. Or they refer to how much fun it is.
Hey, Crimson is the OP. First time ever being first in something eh Crimmy? :')
Getting roasted in my own thread, I've arrived. Actually I got a few kick votes as soon as I landed in some pug games this evening, officially peaked in MP life.
Just making sure the leprechaun can still take a joke and hasn't left us. Good, good.
As for my last PUG, hmm...I remember a Phoenix Adept spamming Smash next to my GI so I would miss things with my Widow. It worked for awhile, but even they knew irritating the top player was a bad idea against Geth on Rio. :')
