I like the personal challenge of solos with different set-ups. I try to get my quickest time but it's nowhere near 20 mins on Xbox and frankly I don't care. I also enjoy watching people's vids, to see variations in strategy and style.

People even post their solo silvers because they're proud of their achievements and want to share with a community that loves mass effect. I think saying to all those who post anything over 30 mins that they shouldn't is pretty elitist. Imo. But what do I know.

I try to solo in under 30 minutes. What's really funny, is I only solo when I want to snipe without interference from other players. Which is what I did today as my Juggy sniper.

Every bronze solo deserves more attention than this lame thread. And yes, I get the irony of posting this.

[me0120]

My best solos are always when I'm upset about something. At those times I'd much rather play by myself than get even more upset about someone else's gameplay.

Yeah you should have 10 waves survived, 8 personal gold medals and sub 20 completion on gold+ before you can say anything. Oh wait, i have not seen anybody produce such "eliteness"...

edit: In case the point is lost, completion time is not everything nor easily achievable depending on what your actual goal is.

If you hadn't asked for 8 personal gold medals...

Come back with 10 waves, 8 personal gold and below 20 mins completion and i'll say this topic has a leg to stand on. I got a screenshot of a game i did that had the first 2 but no way do i see anyone doing max solo medals in sub 20.

I'm not sure why anyone would care about medals anyway.  All that more medals means is that you killed things in a variety of ways.  The 20 minutes part is the hardest by far, then the 10 waves survived then the medals.

I agree with all of this.

Because to do that you need to count your kills and make sure you have enough of 6 kill types especially if you use any ammo type that can rob weapon kills.

In the chaos, you can easly lose track of which one has reached gold and there is only so many enemies per wave excluding objective/wave 11. Since you want sub 20, you cannot milk objective waves much nor depend on using rockets to speed up certain areas. At best you can use wave 11 to cover difficencies

It also prevents repeating 1 or 2 attack sequences or using armored compartments. 10 waves survived is also much harder with melee kills in the mix.

Which is more difficult frankly depends on the conditions. Try doing max medals + 10 waves survived and see how much time it takes. I would like to see those who feel "elite" to try it, then come back and say how easy it is. If someone does a sub 20/10 waves/max medals, then i will admit that guy is "elite"

Bow down before the solo to end all solos.

THIS IS THE SOLO OF ALL SOLOS! Because this means, you got to stay connected to ME3 Servers/Origin for more than 15 consecutive hours! This is AMAZING!

I am usually glad when Origin does it for 15 minutes straight...

 It's probably possible to cheese it with the krogan sentinel/vanguard, but I won't be the one to try, since I don't really care for stamp-collecting type challenges large or small.

I prefer duoing, trioing and 'quadding?' to soloing... anything is more fun than playing with myself

I don't see why people brag about solos really, regardless of time.

It's not like there's cake on the table for them if they succeed.

Because if I don't brag about it, no one else is going to brag for me.

I'm the only one there: It's a solo.

imo, any solo is commendable, whether cheesy or not. Do you take non-solos seriously?

[CptWiigum]

I did my first gold solos the other day, had actually never tried it before..
I used the cheeziest setup I could think of;
On Giant with a Kroguard and the lolreegar, Incindiary lvl IV, cyclonic lvl IV and armored compartments I'm not ashamed!

[DaemionMoadrin]

I understand doing solos for the challenges but otherwise I think playing alone in a MP mode is kinda sad.

Only those who think skill has anything to do with soloing, and that skill exist in this game at all.

There is no skill in killing "predictable" A.I.

Period.

Hi Ronnie,

Unfortunately this means that you do not know the definition of "skill" then. Skill means

"A skill[/b] is the learned ability to carry out pre-determined results often with the minimum outlay of time, energy, or both. In other words the abilities that one possesses."

Key phrase "learned ability". To be able to solo or even play this game to your full potential in a team game, duo, trio or again a solo does require some skill. You gain these skills by knowledge, playing the game, trying new things out and challenging yourself. I am positive that you are not the same player you are now than on the days you played bronze. 

I am not defending solo'ing as I personally prefer team games for sure but there is a level of skill needed. Skill is learned and earned...not something someone is born with. Those are talents and even those need to be sharpened and tuned into by acquiring skills. In other words...there is skill in every aspect of this game.

whats crack vader, come back to the box man!

I know the def. of skill, what your confusing with skill is actually an "adaptation" to the A.I. in ME3MP. Also, that def. can be applied to the game in various ways, depending on the player/veiwer. If you really want the minimum outlay of time, energy, or both, soloing is "THE WORST" way to go about it since this game is ment for 1~4 people in the squad and by soloing, you choosing the least effective way of carrying out the same task. Also this game isn't "difficult" to pick up, ANYONE can become a beast player in this game, does that mean everyones got skillz? Naa, it just means the game isn't that complicated enough.

Can you say that if the way a phantom came at you changed between 5 different offensive attacks you'd get a "skillfull" result? I know that everytime I see something new (and its quite frequent even after a year), its usually so surprising and unordinary that it kills me and/or cost me the game. (Like the 1st time I noticed a banshee teleport through a wall, or getting grabbed over cover by an atlus, or watching a pyro do a barrel roll,doens't happen very often, but it only needs to happen once to know, its possible, hence, i adapted to the A.I.) Skill would be being able to get out of the situation while it was taking place, which unfortunetly Bioware made in more ways than I think they even know, you can't.

The game has way to much retard slow mechanics, way to many "may as well have dropped my controller" moments, and is completely "skill limiting" since there arent enough instinces where a player can change the outcome of an event. This game is literally a tic tac toe match, meaning you have to do this to get this result, which is also why Infiltrators and very powerfull weapons like Harrier, Claymore are popular, because they are the "most effective"  way of going about a game that removes the need to have fast enough reaction to even be labeled skillfull. By not using these (not in particular though) classes/weapons you will always get a less "skilled" looking game.

Basically what I'm saying, skill would relate to this game more along the lines of, how you react to an event. In say a fighting game like Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3, a player has skills because the game is simply action/reactions vs another player, no matter the team you use, as long as you are good, you can beat any other team. This game is way to much reaction/result vs an A.I. If you bring a predator to a platinum match on a volus, with no missles and a horrible team, your game will always be terrible. Being better than someone else at that, or being able to do it on your own, is NOT skillfull.

[Ziegrif]

All I care is that I have fun.

[GallowsPole]

I don't even take this game seriously. Just like playing it and playing co-op. Ill never get the joy of soloing or speed runs. One is no fun, and the other makes the fun end much quicker.
