 And here we go......... 

 

Indeed, and for me this is probably the best platinum solo i have ever seen. Heck this video made me think i should do one too. And this to date remains the only solo i watched till the very end without skipping anything.

 

Also "Glory To The Pre-Nerf Typhoon"!!

[HusarX]

I would like to see psychotic biotic's fury solo.

x2

 

Also I like Spectre's N7Destroyer solo the most. I remember I was watching it on the first week I started playing ME3 MP. Back then silver Banshees were so scary...

[BridgeBurner]

What? Why did he have to die there? Nothing was to his right yet, he could've waited for the Atlas to transition to rockets.

 

Sorry. I forgot everything Anno says is right. Won't happen again. I promise.

 

As Alquinn pointed out, there's a cooldown on rockets, and it's highly likely he waited for a second before side stepping out for that precise reason to try and goad another rocket out of the atlas; his gambit failing.

 

You just trash talked every solo ever recorded on console. Yer no better than penguin fetish. I don't know who u think u are that I/we console soloers should subject ourselves to your biased standards of "impressive". High tier controls = Higher FPS. Lower tier controls = lower fps. It all balances out. Your FSP arguments are getting old. Please stop..

 

Like it or not Cain, if you post solos on a forum you are volunteering them for public scrutiny. Post a solo, under the pretence that it is super impressive - when in reality it is of a fairly average standard - and you are inviting people to criticise accordingly; not only for the gameplay but for the context under which you presented it.

 

Can't stand the heat? Get out of the kitchen.

 

Spectre's solo remains the most impressive solo due to the 120fps wildcard and the ad hoc meta-gaming apparent in the solo from start to finish; an opinion many seem to share.

 

And posting links to your own solos, claiming they are impressive is just low Cain. We know you're a childish attention wh*re, but people probably didn't mention your solos for a reason... Your ego however demands that you have to try and convince everyone of how great a player you are.

 

Face it Cain: Nothing you've ever done is as impressive as Spectre's solo.

 

People would think better of you if you just admitted this instead of claiming to be better than you are constantly.

Just watched Spectre's solo again. Watched it when I still was new and didn't know much. But now, I have to agree, even with the prenerf Typhoon. I suppose for the time it was done, it's still an impressive time and the decisions he makes (with me now knowing more about the game) are incredible. I've done a bunch of sub 40 plat solos, but I wouldn't call them impressive myself, but this one holy ****. I just can imagine how careful he had to be with high fps only from watching the Ravagers fk him up the moment he pops out.


I want a prenerf Typhoon and a sp Venom. :I

[dumdum2]

Sp3c7eR is in my opinion the most impressive soloist that we have had in ME3. The solos that he did was before we had all of the stuff and all of the knowledge that we have today. Watching his old GI Claymore solo on Reactor was the reason as to why I started soloing, and his Destroyer Platinum solo is just pure beast, I used to be in total awe when I saw it for the first time because back then it was hard even completing Platinum with a full team sometimes.

 

Yesterday I watched the old Glacier speedrun with him, Kronner, Stentron and sy7ar and kept thinking that it was indeed the real sh*t right there. No armored compartments back then and still they made it look so easy. You don't really see players of that caliber in ME3 anymore.

[cato potato]

You have dumb*ss AI and terrible controllers, if you feel like you've got something to prove you can always try and compete with the big boys, instead of always telling us how grown up you are.

 

 

 

@me0120

 

FPS is everything; and the way I see it we have only one documented "hardcore" platinum solo; no cyclonic, no wallhack at 120fps... with all the BS that entails, and the handful of perks it provides.

 

 

 

OP asked for the most impressive platinum solo, and I provided some pretty stellar reasons why Spectre's solo is the most impressive. The combination of factors which are unappreciated by most (how many of you would have noticed the ~2 second longer shield regen times if I hadn't pointed them out?) and the fact that the video has what, nigh-on 100,000 views? Kinda speaks for itself.

 

Watch here. He loses a medigel, because he has no other options. He didn't make a mistake, he didn't play badly, he just needs to make a break for it and loses a gel because of it. The AI tracks him through a sprint, and hits him with every shot. It's that kind of punishment that makes this solo impressive. The AI literally gives no f*cks.

 

^ That kind of comment does your argument no favours at all, Anno. It only serves to further the impression many seem to have around here that you're a raging PC elitist.

Also, writing that spectre's solo is 'the most impressive we've seen' is extremely arrogant. Even though I agree with a lot of your points you have to admit there is no objectively correct answer to the OP's question.

I agree with you (even though I did some tests on the whole FPS issue a while back and have to say, it makes a huge difference).

 

And while it's kind of arrogant to post his own videos in this thread, cain never claimed that they were impressive (unless he edited his post). I think he just linked those he was most satisfied with; I myself have learned a lot by watching his videos when I started soloing.

All I'm saying is that Anno's absolute that he had to die right there was not true. Rather, my post was in agreement with Anno's other statement that he was being overly cautious and being more aggressive would've helped. I know all about Atlas mechanics and I don't want to take anything away from what is my favorite solo, but just saying Anno was wrong on that particular example.

For anyone who missed it, when he revives himself you can see how far away the Banshee was. It would have been risky and not at all fitting his play style for him to stay, but fully possible.

You do know that Anno is BridgeBurner right?

The Destroyer video was posted in the first reply and thus the thread is now over.

 

Good job everyone. Let us all join together and mock Link in celebration.

I cited objective reasons why his solo is the most outstanding to date. Being unwilling to accept or unable to recognise the reasons does not change the reasons. Until someone has presented an objectively better solo than Spectre's, showing better decision making, faster time, in tougher circumstances then his solo objectively remains the most impressive from a mechanical and gameplay level.

 

Liking X solo better than Y solo doesn't make it more or less impressive than Z solo, it simply means you prefer the playstyle present. Preferring a 50 minute flamer acolyte solo to a 35 minute CSMG solo doesn't make either better or worse, the calibre of the gameplay and the decision making determines which are "Objectively better" and good aiming, intuitive use of powers, spacial awareness, crisis management, sustaining calculated losses / damage can all be compared and contrasted.

Watch the video more carefully as he revives. You spotted the banshee, but you missed 2 other things.

 

A pair of cloaked hunters, which were seconds away from flanking him when he made a run for it; you can see this from their positioning in the centre as he revives and glances back at the banshee.

 

And the Centurion.

 

So, by my estimation, if he had stayed, he wouldn't have just been dealing with a banshee, he'd be dealing with an atlas, 2 hunters and a centurion.

 

Even with a pre-nerf typhoon, the damage he is capable of delivering in a short window of time would be insufficient. MFG spam might have CC'd the hunters enough to make a break for it, but he still dies to the atlas in that case.

 

The main reason why he didn't stand and fight was because he already has location on the respawned hunters, which are in the centre of the map at 34:00.

 

He's caught between the hammer and the anvil, its a lose / lose situation, and he makes the call and dies in the best possible place; near enough to the alamo so that his i-frames last until he's broken LoS.

I didn't miss them. The fact that the Hunters were the first around the corner makes it obvious enough that they were there. It's not a problem for 2-4 multi-frags, despite whatever your excuse is. CC'ing the Hunters would've given enough time for the Atlas two switch to rockets and then the problem would've been the Banshee again. A more likely death would've been from an Atlas rocket pairing with a Banshee warp at that point.

Ok, so:

 

I believe smooth's Collector Adept solo showed better decision making in tougher circumstances (more difficult enemy & tougher map, not the easiest enemy & easiest map like spectre chose). Smooth also had aiming as good as console will allow and intuitive use of powers (spectre had no powers to worry about), good crisis management and knowledgeable gameplay.

So therefore smooth's solo is objectively more impressive than spectre's.

 

Or:

 

You could just admit that what someone finds the most impressive is entirely subjective and the above is merely my opinion.

As many times in the past, trying to reason with you is like trying to reason with a brick wall, Anno. One day, perhaps, you'll learn that very little in this world is "objective". And you'll find out that which ME3 MP solo is the most impressive is among the things which are farthest away from that. And then, perhaps, arguing with you will become enjoyable...

[FuriousFelicia]

I never got the truth about Link, but I suspected he turned off sync kills and I also thought he made his HG imunity last for like 3-4 secs. I was very disapointed when I found out he haxed the game.

On another note, I don't really care to see people arguing over what they deem impressive. Just post what YOU think is impressive

I doubt you've ever watched a console plat solo from anyone. I bet you just convince yourself that the 30fps makes it "meh" by default.

If my name is too much for you to digest then take Hardcore, INVADERONE, Ferocious panda, Uh cold, dandcd93, smoothcriminal, knockingbrain and many more for example. They've done very impressive platinum solos in the past. They've solod on much harder maps with not so op kits and weapons and vs all factions.

Hardcore has gotten many 10waves survived. INVADERONE did a few thunderdomes. Smooths Collector thunderdome was very impressive indeed. His decision making in tough situations and dodge trajectory was flawless in many parts and his time was really close to that of spectres lolgiant reapers time. Uh cold did a volus solo. nuf said.

Spectre was a great player for that time but many on console and PC have surpassed him by a long shot including FFANDRADE and yourself. Get over spectre dude. Some on pc have surpassed even lolstentron. When you compare videos of today with their old ones, the truth is obvious.

Get over those guys man. They were good for that time but they stopped playing and others are now better. It's how it is. Some on console got faster gold solo times than stentron. If stentron or spectre still played then yea who knows how much better they would've been but it's irrelevant now. They stopped playing and thus stopped getting better.

You put too much glitter on the "has beens" of PC. Yer probably still the only person that decorates their graves with flowers. (I don't mean this in relation to real life but in the context of this topic).

Spectres solo was indeed great (for that time) but others are now better even on console. Face it man

[FuriousFelicia]

I'm not discredditing anyone, but for me 120FPS plat solos are a special chategory, and I am impressed by them  more than enything else. I've had the "pleasure" of playing on 120 FPS hosts before and it is very difficult, no matter what enyone says.

[Zyzimorph]

I did a gold solo once.

[dumdum2]

Why does it always have to end up like this? If you guys keep this up then I won't have anything to do on the forum anymore
