Did week 4 (only Hardcore, I'm not touching the Striker with a ten foot anything).

Was fun. I dunno how you people get these spectacular times tho, I'm such a scaredy cat, running away from everything, lol. Still, worked out for the best, objectives were targets, targets, pizza.

Now on to the geth engineer!

Still have to complete last week's challenge - and then onto the new one. Lovin' it!
Might take me a few days to do both, just moved to a new flat.

There's no rush Max. I'm quite enjoying being top of the leaderboards until you and the other speedy solo'ers destroy my times.

I played like crap this game, but I am still sooooo much better than Heroic.  Will probably try to better my time- this was the best challenge so far- keep up the good work Prestacious.

Wave 3: Pizza
Wave 6: Center Hack
Wave 10: Targets

Freezes on every attempts that were to be complete runs. Only going for completion this time around, dealing with this kind of bullsh!t is frustrating enough. It's at times like these you wonder why some people actually got paid to make this half-assed port of a game.

Morning HoF update!

@avenging: Nice job! I had a lot of trouble myself with that challenge and had many failed attempts. I think it probably gave me an ulcer :P

@AronEh: Nice job! Welcome to the HoF :)

@kocka: wow: Impressive! Approaching Heroic's total time. You really are going to make him go back and redo these haha.

@knocking: That's brutal man, sorry about that! I'll definitely have to think of the ps3ers with these. That is quite frustrating though. Is it on the part of the game design that's flawed or something on the part of ps3 not being able to handle it? (I'm actually curious)

Edit: Here's my CAT6 insanity vid again - since I actually forgot to link it to the OP yesterday.

These themed solos are absolutely awesome. I hate soloing, but I appreciate the creativity you put into setting the stage. Kudos!

I only read the background stories, but I'm looking forward to each new one.

Much appreciated Squire Rudi. I really enjoy making these and trying to link the lore to a solo challenge :) Glad you're enjoying it!

I think you should let the PS3 people use non-hazard maps (if that helps?) when facing collectors. Xbox and PC can use non hazard if they already have a completed run on the hazard version. That way we could improve our times if we want.

Also what's up with the new avatar?

Hmm interesting idea (especially for this map, where the hazard isn't that different). I like it. I'll change the OP to reflect that change for this week's challenge. Nice idea Kocka.

As for the avatar, why have a picture of Liara, when you can have one of the real life Liara ;)

Thank you.

Tried another run using Incendiary Ammo instead of Disruptor got about a minute faster.

I was so close to 10 waves survived - cleared the wave 10 escort through the center courtyard.  Then was taken out by homing lasers and captain fire running for cover trying to clear the wave :(

So... The real question is who is more annoying: Abominations or seeker swarms/plague?

seeker swarms no doubt.  I went back and watched my vid and there were times where my bullet passed right through them without doing any damage.

No worries, it's definitely not on you. I wouldn't want lolpeaesstree to limit these challenges for other platforms in any way.

There are two sides to the problem as far as I know. Ps3's hardware cannot handle this game's engine running for long periods of time. Usually that means we have to reboot every now and then else loss of FPS, glitches and memory leaks will occur more often than not, etc. Collectors do put a drain on the Ps3 when multiple buttlazers & abombs/seeker plagues explosions occur at the same time/in succession much like a couple maps (including most hazards) but I'm certain their coding is clearly messed up since freezes happen randomly.

On the bright side of things, game blessed me with no freeze on my earlier Javelin GI run, so I'm gonna go with that (23:46).. Hopefully my next Widow GE run won't freeze.

Seeker swarms.

Although when I did a Javelin run vs Collectors on Platinum one time, a Possessed one jumped out of nowhere into my shot and blew me up... that was pretty annoying.

I was somewhat annoyed with the abominations constantly running up to me. Cramping my style!

Yeah, for me too the swarms win this... I mean I completed the challenge twice already with sucky times. On the the third attempt the swarms made me ragequit just by being annoying and starting an unholy cycle of shoot/kite/shoot/kite that I do not enjoy at all. Shooting the swarms is a waste as they don't do much for the wave budget and are back instantly anyways. Now I am in need of a break from those collectors otherwise I will go insane.

Yeah.  Especially because the plagues have a bazillion HP.

I'm defintiely going to upload a video for this challenge, but I might try to get sub 20 first. Objectives for this run were targets/targets/pizza, so I know I could get sub 20 easily with better objectives.
