Geth Gold is a cakewalk compared to Cerberus Gold.. but Geth Platinum is just awful.

Yes.

[MPApr2012]

No, **** atlas!

 

I concur wholeheartedly

 

Atlases cheat worse than Primes, especially with their rockets. Atlases also cheat around RHA much more.
On host Phantoms cheat worse than Hunters
Dragoons and Bombers are a wash
Engineer Turrets and Rocket Troopers are equally dirty, but the turrets are harder to kill
Assault Troopers = Geth Troopers

Pyros and Centurions/Guardians are a joke, but the smoke grenades are far more obnoxious.

F**k Cerberus..

 

it's always the tie between which faction irritates more the Geth or the Carebears. Overall the stunfest joy that Geth is an overall solid winner, but things like the bloody cheating Atli (?) with their stupid missiles... Yeah, f**k Cerberus

 

 

Also, the argument of "Just don't play things they're weak against and they're easy!" is a fairly terrible argument. It's like saying the Geth are the easiest faction in the game, just don't play anything except Kroguard with a Reegar Carbine.

 

So true

 

Cerberus are a nightmare when its laggy. I hate preset lobbies against cerberus, usually picked by someone who has poor weapons because they can actually kill stuff and the first waves are easy. But then you get in, start rubber banding about, and knowing that come wave 4 it is about to turn to hell. I also hate smoke, just an irritating ability.

 

So much that... The invisible and invincible turrets, teleporting phantoms with their pew-pews topped with "forget-about-shieldgage-and-healthgate" are just an icing on the cake.

Geth are just as easy as if not easier than Reapers.. bc there are a bunch of units without guns in both factions, but Geth are MUCH slower overall.

Every Cerberus unit has a gun.. and some obnoxious ability/trait except for Assault Troopers and (IMO) Dragoons.

Geth aren't hard, they just annoy me more.

 

If we are talking easiest factions my list changes, but this list was for best faction.

[cato potato]

I must be one of the only people here that rates the factions nearly evenly. They all have unfair elements but they're still all enjoyable to me.

Besides the stunlock, and the endless cheating, and the fact that majority of the Geth can healthgate most of my chars in first couple of shots it's most of their more annoying units are also shielded... But I agree, they are not necessarily difficult, just... infuriating

 

EDIT: ...And back to OT, I guess what i'm saying is that Cerberus are not the best. IMO the Collectors are the best faction overall

We are at least two. As I said in the Collectors faction thread, each faction has a good amount of BS. Also, these topics are quite confusing, since the posters have different definitions of "best".

They aren't huge gaps to me and I actually enjoy them all a decent amount, but I still have favorites cause I feel a couple have slightly more annoying things about them with my playstyle. I play really aggressive which leads to bad things more often for me with Geth/Cerberus if I lack the right setup more than it does with the other 2. That said, Cerberus is my favorite faction to melee against and I love me some melee, but I play pretty different when I do that and end up disliking Collectors or Reapers for that.

[Terminator Force]

You're high. They're worse than Geth.

 

Ever since you mentioned getting constantly shield gated by Cerb, I noticed it happen to all the time now (like I look all around me and go "Where the heck am I getting sniped like crazy from? Oh, their all above on Ghost you say" ). Not to mention I really hate carrying a secondary to deal with a Phantoms, in case I get Cerb on host, to be really annoying and just don't want to do it anymore (weapons always get switched by accident every time). ... So much for hoping my Scorpion levels up faster. 

 

And the smoke screens always being up is much more of a pain then ever before. So thanks for making Cerb so much worse for me, megabeast. Now go run into a Phantom death squad.

Only if I have a Venom or a Vanguard.. otherwise, I'm going the other way.

Yeah, you know all the tricks, don't you.

[JPN17]

In general I don't mind cerberus, but wave 10 gold devices is just ugh.

[GordianKnot42]

Cerbs woulda been better if the Ramparts had been added instead of the ha-ha-you-can't-stagger-me-for-three-whole-seconds Dragoons. But I still don't mind them as much as I do Collectors or Geth (in that order).

[MaxCrushmore]

Cerberus is the most difficult Gold faction for a PUG group .. IME

 

And as cheap and annoys as many Geth tactics are, having 3 phantons spawn within line of sight of you is an instant down

[q5tyhj]

Any faction that isn't Geth is the best faction. **** geth. 

[Red the Aloof]

I'm a little disappointed many players don't like Cerberus. I find them fun. The only time phantoms give me trouble are the characters that require a weapon to deal with them as their powers do not reliably kill phantoms (Quarian marksman, Female Quarian engineer.)

 

Atlas rockets are very noticeable. The only time they are usually dangerous is if the player is caught in the open fighting other units. When I run past an Atlas and I see the animation, I take cover for about 1 second, and begin to run again.

 

I don't like Scions however as their shots can stagger you and they can cancel their animation.

 

As for me, both the Collectors and Cerberus rate about the same fun for me with Cerberus taking a slight lead.

[megabeast37215]

Red: Those characters that rely on their weapon to kill Phantoms is a pretty long list..

Yeah, tell me about. ... And I really can't understand how pugs do better against them then Collectors?

Me too. Favorite faction for melee kits. And they aren't Geth, so... that makes them awesome.

[K_O_513]

I can't play against Cerberus anymore. The sheer amount of carcinogens they release are just too much for my lungs.

[TheNightSlasher]

At times, Cerberus are capable of surpassing Geth in terms of BS. That's saying something.

Give me your list.

 

I did want to imply classes with powers/abilities that can kill phantoms, but classes with powers/abilities that can manage to deal with them. Turian Engineer has homing grenades when they get close and a knockback melee once the barrier is depleted. All the adepts/vanguards have one way or another to tackle phantoms. 

 

Destroyer and the Geth infiltrator have little to do against them. However, there is very little penalty to carrying a secondary weapon on the destroyer.

[Malanek]

Yeah, tell me about. ... And I really can't understand how pugs do better against them then Collectors?

They do better for about 3 waves.

 

But Collectors, and Praetorians in particular, are much harder to kill if your weapons, mods and consumables are crap.

 

With my original account from easiest to hardest would

 

Reapers < Colectors < Geth << Cerberus

 

with new account it would be 

 

Reapers < Geth << Cerberus < Collectors

[TheNightSlasher]

This is how I feel about collectors too.

 

Care to mention some examples (apart from buttlazors, ocassional scion drill rounds)? I like collectors a lot, so I may be overlooking some of their BS as intended stuff.
