If I were going to camp an extraction zone it'd be Giant. Rio's always a tough one for me, which is why I prefer to sit on the other end of the map there and then break for the LZ at 25 sec's.

This tactic only works on Rio if you are the only one doing it, while the others camp the LZ and draw agro there. If the whole team holds the other end, enemies will keep spawning and plugging up the bridge. When it's time to go, some of the team won't get through. The best tactic on Rio is to get to the LZ end with rockets ready, and kill everything. Then it's quite easy for the team to hold the long corridors, which also stops spawning at that end.

 

Ghost, Condor and Jade are probably the worst to camp the LZ. For some reason, people always want to go to the Ghost LZ. It's suicide. 

 

Hydra is not hard to hold the LZ, as long as someone who is capable of holding a choke point solo is positioned to block the back corridor. I always take that spot myself. From there, I can also put fire across the LZ if necessary. With the back corridor safe, three can hold the LZ (usually). 

 

Reactor is just much easier if the team holds that farthest spot from the LZ, drawing all the agro there, and then sprints to the LZ. But always some can't stop themselves from going right to the LZ and drawing in the bosses.

Played a few games lately where people miss the extraction because they are too busy killing - which I have done twice so far (and missed one with my Krogan Shaman because he gad been speared by a Banshee). Ghost is definitely the worst, IMO, and I have had a few lone extractions there against Collectors when they overrun the LZ. Giant, Bronze-Gold, is by far the easiest to hold though my Jugg has had a couple of sole extractions there too on Gold against Reapers.

I never do this on purpose, though I sometimes get forced into it on Reactor because the enemy spawn is right there on the right near the EZ. It's not too bad to hold it as long as someone's paying attention to the center ramp and the left ladder.

 

Giant's okay as long as you have the dps to keep double banshees and brutes out of the EZ and keep a constant watch for Ravagers on that ****ing ramp. They can down an entire squad with the Marauder backup.

 

All the rest? Eff that shizz. Stay away.

I think the hardest extraction is Firebase Glacier/hazard on Plat partly because the map is so small and also because of the bug swarm yo. Giant is the only one I see that people tend to hang out because they focus on camping there anyway. Depends on my mood- I might just run across the map and head back in the last 30 seconds missiles blazing or just hang out in the LZ with them. Otherwise I definitely like to kite the enemies and then missile to the finish line.

Only noobs rush the EZ. You should have been able to figure it out soon after you hit gold

But good discussion, shows ME3MP picking up plenty of new players. May it thrive far into the future

What I found is that if you stopped shooting during extraction, enemies tend to ignore you and went for the teammates that made the most noise by kept on shooting.


You can just hide even when soloing, running to the other side of the map when enemies close.

That's what I meant about holding the Rio EZ, sorry I wasn't clearer.

I agree about all the others except Hydra, it's way too open for my tastes.

Been there before, and I always feel like an idiot.

Giant is the only one I see that people tend to hang out because they focus on camping there anyway. Depends on my mood- I might just run across the map and head back in the last 30 seconds missiles blazing or just hange out in the LZ with them. Otherwise I definitely like to kite the enemies and then missile to the finish line.


Same here. I don't really like camping the Giant EZ, but if the other pugs are already there and having a bad enough time of it, sometimes I'll get sucked in against my better judgement.

Great troll post!

I always felt a conundrum whenever my fellow teammates rushed towards the LZ or the immediate LZ area on wave 11. My first inclination was always to just stay away from it since it is in fact the proper thing to do... but I always felt bad leaving anyone defending the LZ alone. That feeling would be compounded if all three or everyone that still played together were doing it, I'd feel awful being the only guy staying away at the LZ so I mostly joined them.

 

Ah well......

I tripped right before the Extraction circle, but my hand was in the extraction. I deserve payment, Dammit!

Giant, Dagger, Glacier,and Reactor are probably the easiest to hold, in a pug game.
Ghost, Jade, Hydra, Condor and Goddess are probably the hardest.
Everything else is in between.
With squads that know how to hold the line, Rio, London, Goddess, and Vancouver can become easy.

Jade, Condor and Ghost will always be a Major Kirrahe to hold

Pugs never learn until someone explicitly says "hey you shouldn't do that" and then they will ask you a million times why rather than just listening to you. So I don't help pugs anymore.

 

(Also camping extraction is for people with cojones.)

White has a decent LZ for camping it's not the best but it is solid, that stupid fighter jet blocks tons of bullets and warp balls. I personally think Giant and Dagger have the best, but another decent one is the upper vancouver LZ.

I always say "sure why not camp the extraction zone" when it's collectors. It puts all of my victims in a small area for easy missiling.

Solo/Cyone-Hazard/Cerberus.

I got so carried away killing (using the Jugg to experiment with weapon setups) I only made it to the LZ with a second to spare.
