I want to share some hilarious fun my peeps and I had using the wonderful ME3MP Randomizer (thread , website ).
If you don't know, the Randomizer gives you a map, enemy, and suggested classes / loadouts for your game. It's a fun way to break yourself out of the jaded rut of grinding with the same classes and weapons over and over.
I've attached pictures so you can see what happened.
Note: we decided to ignore the suggested Gear. Maybe next time....
We got Firebase Hydra vs. Geth, and we chose Platinum for difficulty. Not a bad map, with the easily defendable "glowing blue sphere" room in the corner.
S_______T______ was assigned the Krogan Warlord Sentinel with the Wraith and Locust. Hah, that's an easy one! As he put it, "just like I would normally play the class except with a gratuitous Locust sidearm".
I (JRandall0308) received the Talon Mercenary Engineer with the Typhoon and the Arc Pistol. I had never played the Talon Merc on Platinum, so I was a bit concerned,, but the weapon choices were reasonable. Arc Pistol is strong.
Here's where it starts to get goofy and fun.
P___G__ was assigned the Battlefield 3 Soldier with the Argus and the Predator. (Sorry for the blurry picture). Oof, those are some terrible weapons! P___G__ had never fired the Argus before and had to ask how it worked. Me: "It's like a crappier version of the N7 Valkyrie." Him, during the match: "Adrenaline Rush doesn't seem to make the Argus any better." Everyone else: "That's why no-one ever uses it...."
Finally, poor a___1 received the Volus Engineer with... the Venom and the Black Widow. He told us his cooldown for Shield Boost was around 30 seconds. And he didn't plan to detonate the Recon Mine too often, either. On the plus side, nice weapons -- not necessarily both together, but nice individually.
The game went surprisingly well. a___1 placed the Recon Mine on the non-LZ side of the "glowing blue sphere" room because most enemies tend to arrive from that direction. S_______T______ stood out front with the Krogan Warlord, hammering enemies in the face. And P___G__ and I hung around behind him shooting things.
I will admit that I did use Cain Mine spam on a few enemies, but for the most part I actually used Armor-Piercing Arrows to debuff all the bosses. I also found out that my Typhoon had *just* enough ammo to kill a Banshee in one clip, assuming good aim.
Our objectives were Targets, Devices, and Devices. Fortunately we didn't get the dreaded center Hydra device!
Unfortunately I was an idiot on the Extraction Wave and got synch-killed, but everyone else extracted.
It was one of the most fun matches I've played in months. So I highly recommend the Randomizer!
