I can play like a suicidal maniac on gold, charging into spawns etc and not get downed in 0.0001 seconds. I don't care if I die more often, it's more fun to rush the enemy than to play safe and stick to cover and distance. (Always been that way, even in Halo I prefer to run around and find the enemies rather than stay in an area of relative safety/advantage)

CQC FTW.

Truth.  

That's also why I hate soloing. I hate kiting/moving backwards/hiding behind a RHA corner.

This Krogan knows what he's talking about. Kiting just feels wrong, I should be running to  the enemy and destroying them in seconds, not running away hiding behind cover slowly pew-pewing them to death. (Unfortunately, sometimes one has to kite)

Would you please illuminate a little bit more?  Why do you think Platinum is more fun than Gold?  Skinsatchel I am curious about your opinion too if you have a minute to expand.

Absolutely! Where's the fun if you're not skillfully dodging and weaving while doing the business in cqc! :happy:

My reasons are my own.

Hypothetical question:
If a Gold MKII mode became available, with the same mook/boss spawn proportions as normal gold, but 16 enemies on the map at once (double of everything), and double the spawn budget, which would you play, Gold MKII or platinum?

[Leland Gaunt]

Both of them throw bullshit in your face equally.

plat, i don't want my crap60 to explode. 

but seriously, even if we didn't have the technical limitations, i prefer the mixing of factions.

If there are more than 2 competent players in the team Gold is actually pretty boring

Well, maybe it would be better to say Gold gets boring when everything dies in seconds and you spend most of your time running from one spawn to the next than actually fighting the enemy.

It's only a challenge if you don't take top tier builds/guns... Even then it's just more kiting/RHA. If you rock infiltrators/grenades and level X URs... Plat is no challenge at all. 

Running the melee Human Adept and getting 50 melee kills is far more fun than say... Black Widow/Harrier/grenade spam.

For me, it is due to the poor quality of Gold pugs as of recently. Like some others most of my friends have moved to other games as well. When you have a high level or maxed manifest, Gold just feels really simple. In addition, I find it tough to have fun on Gold as often because most of the pugs you play with are not very good. Therefore I view most Gold games as potential solos than actual fun co-op play.  If I liked doing solos then I would just do that.  However it sucks to have to always work to carry others to victory, especially when many of them are simply not ready.

Now with Plat if you were to ask me do I think it is more fun, not really. However the challenge fits the bill for a high level manifest and skillful play.  While it takes longer to find a good pug Plat lobby, once you do those players tend to be far more capable.

Now that's a good point, if there was a version of gold with all four factions working together, presumably 2 enemies from each faction, I'd give it a go, it could make for some interesting situations.

I've never had an issue with the mixed factions of platinum, in fact it's one of the few things about platinum I like, it's just the boss spam that kills the fun for me, I tend to run melee kits a lot, which means I rely on a decent number of mooks to be around to keep my melee synergy bonuses and blood rage going.

That and the reduced effectiveness of pure casters and the restriction on weapon selection due to platinum being a DPS race makes platinum a no-go, I've played gold with a melee speced predator pistol toting ExCGuard before, I couldn't do that on platinum, that's for sure.

You probably could, but you're clearly OP, biower nerf plz.

lol i never said that.

[DHKany]

I would like platinum a lot more if it didn't make the enemies so beefy (platinum possessed col captains can go f**k themselves) whilst adding reduced ammo in ammo boxes.

[ManRightChea]

I feel like the idea of fun on ME3 is really relative to the player. On one hand, Gold is more relaxed and you can use many varied kits. Despite what some may say, while it is possible to use any kit on Plat, some are far more difficult to use than others. On the other hand, Gold with anymore than 2 good players is a joke. 2 is the max or Gold is hella boring.

On Plat, you at least have to fight the enemy.  Your gear choices and consumable usage becomes more important. You can't be as wasteful with your consumables in regards to decision making etc. I would say that Plat is more enjoyable, but thats my opinion.

It isn't.

Has more to do with people's comfort levels I find.
