Low: It took a **** load of credits to level up. Wasn't going to bother spending time levelling up the Sentinel or the Vanguard by using them. That'd be a disgrace to my infiltrator/engineer religion tendencies. I'd level up my QFI if I had to, but her points are off limits. Because she's 100% perfect for the way I play and I wouldn't change her ever.
Extreme Low: After I went to do my 1st gold solo on ps3...as I loaded in..........I got the lost connection to me3 servers msg......I mean.......consumables........what are those????........ as I did my reset.........I got back to the main menu.......I drank some beer then looked at the screen just in time to see on the crawler of other friends achievements that somebody completed the scimitar challenge.......I didn't see their gamertag..........just the last part of the crawler........." pleted scimitar challenge"........The main thought going thru my brain was pure blasphemy..........because none of my friends would never, ever, ever.........do the scimitar challenge......willingly.........so, I guess the X-Files were correct.......the truth is out there.........and whoever you are that completed that challenge, my so-called friend... I shall hunt you down........
aka..this is a scimitar hate post..cuz...well, I do.... It takes 4 point blank head-shots to kill 1 gold cerberus trooper......I am just sayin'..............
I WANT TO BEELIVE

Platinum, W10. Targets. I had to carry the last 2-3 waves, so I am out of ops and medigel. I rocketed two targets, but a Hunter snipes me from somewhere. Bled out. Kroguard manages to charge into a Phantom sync-kill, God knows how the second pug wasted himself. But the last pug, who only joined in W7 or 8, please tell me, why in the almighty **** do you want preserve your gels (for W7-10) and rockets (W10)? I nearly switched the mic on and asked him, but he instaquitted. I swear on everything what is noble and holy and positive in this world, if his reply would have been W11, I would have looked him up, buy a cactus, shove it up his dearest relative's bum and then in the pug's mouth to taste what that match felt like. Plat W10 is what gives the most money, and it is effin PLAT, if you don't use your consumables here, where will you? Wait, I just realized: you don't want to waste 2-3 gels/rockets for 70-80k credits or how much Plat W10 gives you? If you think that is not a fair trade, then I have another cactus for you, and trust me, that one will visit an even more special place before making YOUR special place its permanent home. I can't believe I wasted equipments and consumables on you.
****, I haven't raged this much since the day I went up from Bronze to Silver, and conisdering the cesspool PS3 silver is (words are stolen from Arkhne, if I remember correctly), that is quite something.

I would be infuriated as well in that situation. I think you handled.it quite professionally. Exactly WTF are they saving missiles for on Plat? Sorry, I hate it for you
I just played on Firebase White Hazard using the Hunter Mode on my Geth Engineer the entire time LOL
Just try a melee warlord (ok that's the only way to play him) on white hazard and go outside. I once spend an entire wave comletely blind hitting random ennemies, most fun I had in years of mp
If you were playing on PS3, that's pretty normal. Silver is a cesspool of all the worst PUGs the game has to offer. Half of them don't even have feet to stay on, and the other half are arsehats.
No, Xbox. Didn't use to be like that.
I almost kicked a low level guy from my gold lobby for not using permanent gear and bad weapons, thinking he didn't have a clue. Did better than some of the idiots on silver...
High: Bat Soldier made good use of the Scorpion for a good staggerfest on Gold - Challenge done.
High: Next game, went OP and brought out the QME + Harrier for a match
Low: Wave 10 devices, Jade Collector Gold. Second device is in the lower middle of the map.
High: I distracted and killed two scions with a line of sight on the objective, the PUGs used some missiles which forced the spawn high, and we were home free.
Low:Jumped into an all-Krogan Warlord game which was Jade/Reapers/Gold last night. It was wave 3, and all were down in the hack circle (and all dead), so my mere presence was enough to stop a Wave 3 squad wipe (the game was in awe of the penguin ).
I finished the last 50% of the objective alone and managed to pull the team to wave 4. From then on, it was basically as if the Reapers were playing a new game called Krogan Slaughter (ages 18+). I lost count as to how many times the Krogans were killed, and that was usually at the start of a wave...
I was the only one who extracted. Never went down once. Completed the objectives alone. Mission successful. Everything < QFI.
Had some time to kill this afternoon so I went pugging golds. Great pugs about today, extracted 4/5. Then as I was on about wave 6 of Giant/Geth/Gold got a msg from Ark to join for a few. So I finished up that gold game and luckily had my mic charged up, joined Mr and Mrs. Ark for 3 games, we were playing silvers, get dem challenges done.
High: I got crabs...
all over me in those games, Mrs. Ark heroically saved me from getting munched by one in our reactor game. I swooned a lil.
We trio'd these silvers, hidden difficulty was each player was trying to grief the other, it wasn't as successful as we were all suspicious of one another. Stared each other down...
Told you guys this is why we needed a pug, don't trust my friends against Collectors, damn trolls.
Higher: But then she got me back for cooking her in the reactor on Sunday night, burnt my fury something fierce.
Highest: Then on that 10th wave a pal of the Arks joined us. Extraction wave, I have no gels left (bad habit of rage gel) I was innocently turning a corner to get some ammo when he "accidentally" blew me up with an a-bomb. The guys were on the other side of the map, I bled out. The Brits have never been kind to my people.
Low: ???
Welp, Mr and Mrs. did threaten to bump it down to bronze on account of me hugging the floor so much against dem Collectors. I promised myself I won't cry in the lobby.
My poor Fury got thoroughly rekt in that last game, cooked, blown up, nearly eaten by crabs. My TGI didn't have it easy in an earlier Collector game either. I still love fighting that faction tho, even if they don't love me back!

They were a lot of fun. And thanks for the Warden Kuril vid. Shepherd is the one person in the Galaxy who can stare down ANYONE. I bet even a four-eyed scumbag batarian wouldn't last long.
Games basically became a test of balls, do you risk the a-bombing in order to get somebody else? Or do you kill them pre-emptively to protect yourself? The team griefing was real, but so was the alertness, you make it sound like we got you a lot, I seem to remember that despite some very serious attempts, very little deaths occured to the team-fire.
My trying to barbeque and a-bomb you may have been revenge for you using my most hated gun.

High: felt OP spamming nades with my Demolisher in a Hazard Ghost/Reapers/Gold match.
Low: mostly spectated a Jade/Collectors/Gold with my off-host Slayer. There was another Slayer in the game, who didn't put on any equipment in the lobby...and still did better than me. Still managed to extract though, so my thanks go out to that heroic Sabre Wielding Asari Huntress who Dark Channeled all the things, and kept on running away until they died to carry us through the bugs!

I got killed by the enemy and my teammates... maybe more so by the enemy but still that a-bomb and BBQ was real!
I still like that gun tho, might bring it along next time.
We had good times with a random on Sunday, you could have got some moar lovemail today. Me thinks you prefer hatemail tho.
High: I finally came across a really good controller support for MP so now I'm sucked into it.
Mid: I notice how aggressive some PC players can be. Aggressive as in, they run around the map like they're impatient. I'm casually sitting in a corner, hoping they don't spawn next to me. Turns out they did.
Low: I attempted to do a Gold solo against Cerberus on PC (JUDGE ME, I THINK THEY'RE FUN TO GO UP AGAINST) with my Salarian Infiltrator + Collector Sniple. Things were going so well, I got 5 Waves Survived. But then Wave 7 happened. Them Dragoon boys and their whips. Not to mention the Phantoms were all up in my face and slashing me in a mocking manner. In the end, I ran out of medi-gel and gave up.
High: Finally figured out how to play KroSent, destroyed Reapers on Glacier. Teammates did really well so I decided to switch lobby to platinum.
Low: Switched to U/U/P. Got Collectors in London. I went with QMI (completely wrongly speced, but not point of this story.
During some of the early waves I was TacScaning somebody and a thought appears in my head: "This animation looks so cool. It is like left handed Quarian looking on his watch and seeing how many seconds enemy has got to live.' At that point I get grabbed by a Banshee that sneaked behind me while I was getting distracted by the coolnes of my QMI named Rasta vas Jam.

It's not a recent low point, but it is one of my all-time low points -- I was doing a Solo Gold. Giant, Cerberus. I was a Volus Sentinel, with Reegar. I made it to Wave 11 extraction. With 4 seconds left I got to the LZ, but with Dragoons on my rear. I went to hit the Shield boost but missed, and hit the wrong key, which was the decoy or drone. Between the time I realised I hit the wrong button and time to hit ops pack, I was downed by a damgoon with 1 second left...I actually felt numb in disbelief, like it was a joke and the computer was going to pop up a screen that said "just kidding" after a few seconds. But..no...

Low: Using a Javelin, I thought "Do I need to bring a SMG sidearm? Naaaah. What's the chances we get Glacier?" Of course we got Glacier/Cerberus. Which means I spent half the match running around like a Nemesis to try to put enough distance between myself and stupid Dragoons to actually hit them with my Javelin. I'm not that good with the Javelin, I guess.
High: Got an MP invite on Wii U and I immediately jumped into the lobby because it's been a while since I've played MP on Wii U or PC.
High: Very good silver duo and a very fun gold duo. We both got sync killed by banshees but in my case, it seemed that their hands were magnetic! My buddy left the private lobby to restart the wave and I ended up being in someone else's lobby with the same match settings. Finished that match and had to leave.
High: I finally understood how to use the salarian infiltrator. Doubt I can use the kit effectively on PC but the harrier is a sweet sweet weapon to use with the kit!
Funny, during that gold match, my buddy got sync killed, leaving me to deal with the wave (Wave 7). Eventually, the game pointed to the last enemy in the wave, a banshee. I heard her scream but I was in the other end of the map, and then, the game cleared the wave for me. LOL! What in the world???
