I'd take your Collectors over the Phantom spam any day. Nothing is worse than Phantom spam, not even killer bees.
Having a mechanic that effectively shuts down your use of any powers is worse than getting sliced and diced by the sushi queens. Phantoms only get seriously annoying on host because of BS damage reduction. Even then I usually have a way putting them in their place. Face down in the dirt.

Oh wait, this isn't the sexual fetish message board is it? My bad.
P.S. JGDD, whenever I see your username I think of JCVD:
Oh, you know. It's the PS3, so all low points. 
Low:
Wave 9 Gold Solo wipe with the Valkyrie against Geth. It seems she's not quite as invincible against multiple shielded enemies as I thought. Wave 9 Solo wipes really suck, but then....
High:
Awesome pugs yesterday, seriously. All Missions Successful, and full extractions almost every game. I was having some OP fun, playing a couple of games each with the Valkyrie / Hurricane, GI / Javelin, AIU / Crusader and my old favourite, the Human Engineer / Indra. Mostly Reapers, and mostly London, unusually. Some tough objectives, including the device on Jade. Didn't recognise any names, and quite a few low level players, but no soloing was required by me or anyone else. Great fun.
Geth stunlock has been the end of many a solo I've attempted.

Back in my youthful days...
I never looked like that either.

You are necks!
High: completed a couple of Gold Collectors games without my lolps3 freezing. And the games weren't awful, either (managing to blow myself up with a Possessed A-bomb notwithstanding 
) Gold Collectors don't seem much more difficult than Silver Collectors, actually. Less of a difficulty jump than Silver to Gold Cerberus, I think.
Low: my lolps3 did freeze on wave 10 of an otherwise-good Reactor Hazard/Reapers/Gold game.
High: Dropped into a full pug lobby that turned out to be pretty awesome
Low: Xbox froze on Wave 4

I heartily endorse this product and/or service.
Lowest point: Moronic stupidity. On my part. I came back to my desk to look for a game, saw an Origin window with a game invite from Smehur, grabbed my Vorcha Sentinel and joined. Wave 7, Dagger Hazard Reapers Plat. Miranda Lawson and Xelander were there too. Unforunately, I had joined their attempt on a themed trio challenge. It turned out the invite had been sent much earlier while I was away.
I could make some excuse about Origin timestamps being grey on a grey background in a font that's 6 px high. But I want to say to Smehur, Miranda Lawson, and Xelander that I'm really sorry. That'll teach me not to **** **** up. I hope

Eh, don't worry about it. Happens to everyone. We had to redo that challenge 5 times anyway.
Low....due to lag....Gold/Hyrda/Cerb....wave 8, a turian soldier and a volus infil. wiped leaving me to clean up the mess.....i killed most of the enemies and had to take care of an atlas that was in the control room up top, (it would have been the last enemy) but i was on the lower level dealing with two lowly cerb troopers...i BC one, killed him and by the time i turn around to kill the other, i'm dead....not sure what gun he used, but i was at full shields when i killed that other trooper....i was in the red so quick, it felt like he was using a marauder pheaston 3000 or some s**t... 
...lag sucks....
High 2 decent silver PUGs
Low - Retaliation glitch AGAIN?!?
Low: Felt like a pugging a bit with my Ex-Cerb Lash adept. Landed into Collectors/Dagger/Gold game. The Possessed A-bombs were just too tempting for me, and I decided to have some fun trolling my teammates by Lashing said A-Bombs to them. Ended up blowing myself up instead. Twice.
High: Extraction wave of the same game, about 10 seconds left on the timer. I spot a Possessed A-Bomb approaching the extraction circle, the team opens fire on it to kill it before it gets too close. I Lash it just before it dies, right into the extraction circle and wipe the whole team. No one extracted, and I got kicked from the lobby immediately afterwards. Still, it was totally worth it.

Reported.
Don't sweat it though, we were I was blowing it anyway.
We had one more unsuccessful try before we got it right. Somebody didn't get their requisite 20 headshots. 
Highlight: Finished the Bloodpack Challenge, leaving only the Outsider Challenge in terms of characters.
Lowlight: Still need 60 more grabs to finish combat mastery. 
Lowlight: I don't really enjoy that many of the outsider characters (Drell, Volus).
Highlight: Revived two teammates on Geth/London/Silver with <20 seconds left on extraction and several primes/hunters/rocket troopers in the area. Full extraction 
Lowlight: Unlocked the Venom VI. I don't even like the Venom

That much is obvious. Going from 4 Guardians to 4 Phantoms per wave is the most ridiculous ramping up of difficulty you can get from any faction. Gold Collector wave composition, by comparison, are really not all that different from Silver except the greater number of crabs makes freezes more likely.

Given that the Collectors were my bogeyman faction in Bronze and Silver for the longest time, I expected them to be absolutely horrendously awful in Gold. My expectations were wrong; turns out that the worst thing about them is BioWare's quality assurance process.
High: trying out my old flame, the Tsent and falling in love all over again 
He may lack a dodge, but he sure can kick some serious butt. Tried him out with Lancer and Valkyrie, both gave satisfactory results. Next up, Saber
Low: wave ten disconnect on Cerberus/Dagger game... after delivering both pizzas and seeing krosol getting shanked by phantom, my salinf got lost in the black hole that are Bioware servers, leaving only smashdept with Spitfire who hasn't managed to collect 20k points up to that point to clean up.
Many curses were used.
High: topscored a Reapers/White/Platinum game. As fairly drunk Valkyrie and host and glitched character, sure, but... nonetheless. Epeen confirmed!
Low: when both QMR and Grunt score lower than you, you just know something is wrong with your host. Sooo... sorry you guys. Promise to be on receiving end next time. But I would like to do this again, since it was fairly fun and I did get a lot of credits, which is always good.
Extra low: got no URs in store.
Extra extra low: double post. FML.

Haha yeah, it was a bit crap. Not the game to be using a Kishock, SubNet and no dodge. My Shield recharge speed was about the only thing that worked. Still kinda fun though - the objectives actually went really smoothly. I laughed when you avoided the sneaky Phantom (maybe it was the Krogan pug?) on the way to the EZ - I was kinda past caring by that stage!
I need to apologise to QMR and Lucky for one of my later exploits. My PS3 was behaving more strangely than usual, which I would like to claim was partly responsible for our wipe on Giant Hazard, when we all got picked up one by one on Wave 5, with me being the first to go. The next game made some amends, though I was half asleep.
My highpoint was probably seeing some legends still active in the AHF chatroom, even if I didn't communicate with them, due to the aforementioned PS3 bs.
