Unknown/Unknown or get out

This. Unless the lobby is set to anything/Geth. Then turn off designated gaming device, and burn the disk.

lol, I always set map and enemy. I can definitely play U/U I just usually don't care to.

You can handicap your lobby by picking an opponent at times. Some people perhaps have chosen a class they want to play that just does not sync with your choice, they might very well leave rather than change classes.

I mostly play "Unknown" because I like the surprise.  Yes, knowing the enemy type does give you a little bit of an advantage (especially knowing whether you're going to be facing Phantoms or not), but I don't feel like I need the advantage.  Although if I knew I was playing with a marginal group and couldn't leave the lobby for some reason, maybe I would set the enemy type specifically.

EDIT:  I don't play Platinum, but if I did, I would probably set the enemy type there too.  I would feel like I need the advantage on Platinum.

I'm with the OP.

I like to play specific kits with specific factions.

Cerberus - AV, AIU or DV

Geth - TGI Sniper

Reaper - TGI Typhoon or HS

Collectors - (same as Reaper) but I hate Collectors so not very often.


So I'm a scrub then? Deal with it:bandit:

Too easy to pick a kit and loadout when you know what's coming. I like it when the game yells "Surprise, mother****er!"

UUP
UCollG

ftw

Bored of U/U. More fun to play with fav maps against certain enemy.

[AustereLemur799]

Everyone on here has good points.

Various kits do better or worse against certain enemies, so I can totally understand wanting to play to your strengths (otherwise it can get frustrating and you can feel as though you've under-performed even though the odds weren't originally in your favour) - although you may deliberately like to play something difficult for whatever kit you're using in order to challenge yourself.

I just go with unknown enemies all the time unless I've played, say, Reapers three times in a row and I'm fed-up with them. I also do unknown map all the time unless I'm trying to finish off map mastery.

When I go Platinum, I prefer to know what map I'm going on (because there's more strategy involved) whereas I don't really care about the enemies (since they're all mixed, they're all quite similar - apart from Collectors which has four enemy types rather than three ).

UUG - UUP...

Dokes!! One of my favourite characters.

What is this madness?!

Unknown/Unknown keeps it interesting. Though sometimes when playing with friends you might want a sniper friendly map, and sometimes you want to make it as hard as possible. I would also forgive picking an easy map/enemy combination for Platinum if you are playing with 3 randoms with low level weapons and no equipment. Selected map and/or enemy for Gold? That is just weird.

Exactly! The reactions I get from players when I secretly switch from Cerberus/Gold to Unknown/Unknown/Platinum without them noticing is priceless!

Players rushing to the first spawn of "Cerberus" expecting Assault Troopers and Centurions just to be greeted by a gang of Scions and Praetorians. Love it!

Unknown.

Just not as exciting unless my PS3 has the risk of dying with my character.

If I see a selected faction in a lobby and I am playing a kit that I dont like against that faction then I go "nope." Get into a random game and I get that faction, then I just go "lets get it over with."

Depending on the kit if I know the faction then I can tailor my consumables differently and that can give me a notable advantage. Going warp rounds for collectors for instance can make pretorians drop much faster as both their barrier and armor drop far faster than had I went with AP or incendiary ammo. Disruptor ammo can keep geth on lockdown.

Unless I'm trying to get credits at the shortest amount of time possible, I play U/U/GorP

[ClydeInTheShell]

I'll play anything but my preference is U/U.

[Jamesui]

I select map on Plat to avoid getting stuck with Condor or London and will select enemies if the last few matches have not been so random, but otherwise I prefer the surprise.

[smeckie]

I like unknown/unknown because I get more points for challenges.

[cato potato]

I used to play U/U all the time until Retaliation blighted us PS3'ers with the Collectors. Now I normally select an enemy because I got tired of my console freezing.
If there was an option to select 'any enemy except Collectors' I'd pick that instead.

[DinkumGem]

Eventually you will not need this additional advantage. The only time we might chose a map is when someone is closing in on map mastery again. I really can't remember the last time we chose an enemy.
