I beg to differ. I find gold games very easy regardless of the kit I use or the faction I face. With gold you only have to focus on 1 faction as opposed to platinum having multiple factions that forces you to change your playstyle at a moments notice.

From experience, yes, if you solo silver, you're good for gold on 1 condition.

Test out your weapon choices on gold wave 1 and 2. The increased armor reduction penalty, increased health/shields will require you to adjust from silver and just general game speed increase.

Silver solos get you the things you need to know and do, but estimation of how long it will take to kill something requires "calibration". From your solos, you will probably know how important it is to know when to run and when to stick it out for an extra second to prevent a boss/high cost target from being on its last armor bar and regenerating its shields/being a threat.

It also prevents you from having the "water gun" problem which i experienced when i first switched from soloing silver to soloing wave 1 of gold on a pre buff indra. This will be much less of an issue for you since you already did gold though.

Holy ****, did we just have a conversation, on-topic, about multiplayer WITHOUT insulting each other and quickly arrived at a mutual understanding that subjectivity should not be argued? I feel like this is against the nature of BSN... So I hereby declare caineghis2500 a terrible player who stinks of moth balls.

Both of you are clearly either on red sand, or even scarier, sober.

Please rectify this quickly.

OP - Silver solo is a sign that you know spawns and how to survive in a crutch situation whilst still dealing acceptable amounts of damage. You should be Gold ready by now but ofcourse there's still little things to get used to such as the health pool and damage increases aswell as the game itsels being sped up and shieldgate being 90% instead of 75.

Shield gate is easy enough dealth with on "OHKO" non-pellet kits (3 shots or snipers, Executioner, Crusader) by using Disruptor or Phasic rounds (would recommend Phasic but for the Javelin and Widow, Disruptor can work well). You're biggest downfall in your first few games will be miscalculating flanks. Pyros, Dragoons, Banshees and Praetorians move faster and will deal alot more damage whilst being tougher to take down, they aren't something you want on the opposite side of you whilst dealing with the other half of the spawn. The increase in game speed could lead to them flanking you quicker than expected.

Generally the toughest thing will be what you already know: dealing with multiple Phantoms, bosses or Geth or a mook deathsquad efficiently. Remember to use Right-Hand Advantage (if the enemies gun hasn't got an angle on you it won't fire, this allows you to make better use of soft-cover), Reload Cancel (I'm sure everyone knows this already) and side-strafing (self-explanatory) to maximise damage dealt whilst minimising damage taken. Knowledge of power combos aswell as understanding how powers work (namely Tac Cloak will help a lot with the transition and general gameplay tactics.

These might help too if you don't already know:

Enemy Spawn Patterns
Aggro Mechanics

Most (possibly all) of these links are pulled from DragonRacer's stickied thread (the Resource Library). A lot of helpful information in there if you haven't already read through it.

Op, being able to solo silver is great an indication that you have a grasp on the game mechanics. I say put on decent equipment in each slot on a level 15 or higher character that you are confortable with and give it a whirl.

Happy hunting.

I still fail silver solos regularly (6 medigels wave 1, anyone?) and people tell me I play on the level of platinum regulars - does anyone want to call me not-ready-for-gold?

...................................... if you do, please don't tell me to my face, my ego can't take it.

What? How does my pov translate that. Maybe I should add some humor cuz things can easily be misunderstood but I guess given my troll rep, anything I say is considered troll bait-_-

It's not a direct correlation, but yes, if you can solo silver you should be capable of playing and contributing to a gold team. Of course the skills are a little bit different so you should still expect to be learning.

Personally I think Collector Platinum is the easiest platinum enemy for the majority of kits. The latter waves are not really that difficult. All Platinum enemies are significantly harder than all gold enemies.

Ah, no it's not.  I still struggle on any Platinum game unless everyone on the team is as good or better than I am.  I can do Collectors Gold on a decent map without that much trouble.  Honestly, I think the difference between Collectors and the other factions is the smallest on Gold.  Silver and Bronze are like 2x as hard with Collectors.

There isn't one... Me and Clyde were joking because we, unlike the rest of BSN weren't absolute dicks to each over a simple disagreement.

You should see me run tests, which regularly have me soloing things.

The BSN would have their butts clenched pretty hard if they saw how bad I was at soloing.
