Over the last few weeks, I have been getting pretty good luck with PUG games; typically always 1 or 2 others will be solid contributors, making for easy matches
1AM Sunday (PST) - or late Saturday night. Got home from the party I was at, a few drinks in and figure, "hey ill play a game of ME3MP before bed"
So I equip a top level kit (GI/Piranha) and search for U/U/G .. land in middle of round 2 (Reapers/Glacier). No problem.
4 devices on round 3, no one else seems to be paying any attention to them, so I do them all, sadly I had to kite/kill several enemies away from the devices as no one was supporting me while disarming ... okay, only wave 3, not too big a deal ... One player was taken down and bled out after the first device was completed .. still no prob ...
4th round stars, and the bleeder goes down again and bleeds out. This is also about the time I notice one of the players point totals has only minimaly increased since I joined in 2, no prob .. I can take on the extra share of baddies (I am GI, hear me roar!) .. no point dude gets sync'd ... I clutch the wave, no prob
From this point forward, 2 people were using the 'bleeder kit' and 1 was using the 'no-point kit'
5th round goes smoothly, except both bleeders live up to their names, no prob
6th round comes along, and this is where I start to feel WTF?? .. escort, only 'no-point kit' comes to do it .. the other 2 die away from the escort and both promptly bleed out. The beauty of this is, before the one bleeders goes down, he missles a spawn away from the escort!!! Of course they spawn right in front of our escort ... me and 'no-point kit' get it done (he used a missile here, garnering more points off it than the entire time i've been in the game with him .. still kudos to contributing)
Wave 7, no pointer gets sync'd by first banshee, the other two drop before spawn #2. All enemies are now spread everywhere on Glacier. This ends up being a challenge, I am forced to use 2 med gels, 1 missile and 2 ops packs this round, but manage to finally get them all grouped up to be coming at me in single file down the ramp to the basement (where, being a GI, I easily took them all down)
Wave 8, amazingly all 4 of us survive until close to the end of the round until they all live up to their billed names ... no prob
Wave 9, 'no-pointer' gets sync'd by first banshee, the 2 'bleeders' again live up to their names .. no exaggeration when I say this, the 3 of them combined to kill a husk before dropping ... 1 husk ... ouch. Again, all the enemies are now spread everywhere, and I have two seriously PO'd banshees chasing me around the map as I try to focus on killing the mooks to clear the spawn budget .. after 3 more med gels, 2 rockets and 2 ops pack, I get the round clutched (same strategy I used in wave 7)
Wave 10, pizza delivery, I grab the first package, of course only 'no-pointer' tries to support at all .. you get 1 guess what happened to the other two ... before 1 of them went down however, he used a missile to wipe out a spawn away from the delivery (same player that used the missile in round 6; the only 2 consumables he used all match to this point). And the new spawn was between me and the landing zone ... ouch, there goes my last missile. 'No-pointer' gets sync'd, leaving me to solo the last package (which, considering the 'help' I had received from the 'bleeders' was probably a blessing) .. got er done
Wave 11, the two bleeders decided to try to stay upright, and when they went down (at least 2x each) they immediately gelled so they could get extraction .. ouch!
Bottom line, 38 minute Glacier match
Found out in the lobby, no-pointer was the host, he had an N7 of 50 something, the other 2 were N7 1500 & 800 respectively.
The only person from this 'team' I would welcome as a teammate was 'no-pointer' because he at least tried to help. The other two should be very ashamed of their performance. The most damning part is voluntarily bleeding out on wave 9 .. you're 1 wave away from getting paid, why would you rely on 1 player to clutch a wave 9 gold in its entirety? Should be worth 1 measly gel to try and get paid wave 10, or wave 6, or wave 3 .. I don't understand ...
Look, i've scored 200K in 4 man games before, but never with a set map and enemy (yes, they were pre-set) .. next highest scoring total was 36K
I couldn't even tell you what kit the 'bleeders' were using .. they spent more time bled out than playing. The 'no-pointer' was using a fury ...
apologies for the essay on this
tl/dr - "working as intended"
Retour en haut
I wouldn't have even bothered to mic up and tell em he/she's doing it wrong because the majority of the time they don't listen/want to know.
