High - I got but lazer'ed good today
High - I tactical cloaked my Hurricane GI first before I shot a swarmer
Highlight: BW QFI, Goddess, Cerb. Single cloaked BW round, got a double headshot on the pair of Guardians advancing on me ![]()
Low point: Wave 9 disconnect ![]()
I'm up for this, though the mantis is possibly too good a gun for this sort of challenge.
Use the viper then. Enemies will probably die of laughter

If you're a good shot, the Viper is almost good. Head shots still kill troopers (On Gold), and has a 6 shot clip. A Viper X is pretty similar to a Saber I. I would choose MANY other guns over it, but there are also quite a few worse options (Like most non-UR SMGs and ARs).

I wish I'd kept my mouth shut now!
Low: Lag, lag laaaaaag LAG.
High: Finally starting to figure out the vanilla human adept. (I know people here swear it's one of the most powerful kits, but until recently I couldn't accomplish much with it.)
Low: Turned the game off after 10 minutes spent fruitlessly searching for a decent lobby and getting nothing but GIP's, gearless PUGs, and preset maps/factions.
High: Saw a hunter ride a rocket. I've seen videos of this before, but this was the first time seeing it in a live match I was participating in. On dagger, the hunter was starting to walk along the long hallway while the rocket trooper, following just behind, was still coming up the ramp. The rocket trooper fired, and because of the trooper's lower elevation the rocket was skimming just above the hallway floor; the hunter stepped on it, and rode it all the way into the control tower.
LOW: TRYING TO PUG GOLD GAMES TODAY ONLY TO KEEP LANDING IN PRESET LOBBIES OR SAME GAME IN PROGRESS THREE TIMES (THAT WAS ALSO APPARENTLY PRESET) FFFUUUUUUUU!!!
HIGH: HOSTED TWO BRONZE GAMES INSTEAD! WE ALL EXTRACTED!
Seriously, what's wrong with preset lobbies? Atleast on PS3, it's a safety thing. If RNG says haha, it's crashy time, it's Collectors Hazard, and there isn't a thing you can do about it. We ALWAYS preset our lobbies. This way, we can even play Collectors occasionally. Is this a mustard rice self-superiority thing?
PRESETS LAME!! THAT'S WHAT'S WRONG! UNKNOWN FACTOR GIVES MORE CHALLENGE! REAL TEST AT HOW SKILLED PLAYERS CAN BE WITH ANY KIT AGAINST ANY FACTION!!
VORCHA EDIT-GRRRAAAAAAAGH!!!

And when your PS3 hard-freezes and has to repair itself on Wave 8 because you rolled Collectors Hazard? How lame are presets then?

From my experience it's very often the worst players who preset their lobbies on PC. They might be planning to camp a certain spot on a certain map or lack the skill to deal with specific enemies. And even if they might do relatively well on their chosen preset scenario, their lack of general competence often leads to miserable clusterf*** games.
No, that doesn't mean that you're a bad player if you preset lobbies, just that - from my experience - UUG games tend to better games (i.e. I'm having more fun) on average.

Nothing wrong with them. But if it's on a map I don't like, forget about it (Reactor & all of Earth DLC).
... Fighting Cerberus or Reapers back to back isn't cool either. And you know how pugs love to play only Cerberus or Reapers... if it were just Collectors I wouldn't say a peep.
One of the best things I like about hosting, besides actually enjoying biotic kits, is selecting my fave maps (Ghost, Goddess, Condor).

I preset the map to Reactor the other night because I didn't want us landing in an unfinished map.And troll reasons.
Man,I gotta say for somebody who hates Reactor,you're pretty damn good on it.I nuked my wife once or twice,the other guy countless times(he never caught on),but could never get the timing right with you.
It was lots of fun trying though.
High: I like Ghost Hazard
Low: I don't like invisible rain
High: While pugging today, dodged 2 Rocket Troopers direct shots.
Low: They fired at me 4 more rockets, which I rode them into oblivion.
F**k you, Geth.
LOL!

Well, we fight a lot of reapers, but we try not to fight several games in a row against them. Usually we switch between Geth and Reapers after every match until we're sick of screaming, and stunlock, then we go have a beautiful non-hazard Collectors.
I love Collectors so much, easily the most fun faction, it's just a shame PS3 doesn't agree with me. If I could, I would probably run Unknown/Collectors/Gold all.day.long.
There is only one enemy in this game I hate, and that is those damned space ninjas. I'll take space-crabs over her anyday.

They're the reason why if I'm chancing a pUUG, I always take either an Acolyte or a character with Stasis. Aside from avoiding Collector freezes, Phantoms are the reason for setting a faction. Does anyone actually enjoy the late-wave Phantom spam?
I personally prefer preset lobbies.
Playing often with friends and hosting, I always take suggestions and wishes into consideration, instead of becoming a Mugabe.
If anyone wants - or doesn't want - a specific enemy or map (for reason x or y), I can set those.
I do understand that people who have already done it all, perhaps several times, want (or need) the extra challenge and twists to make the game more challenging and fun. Starting out a new account with random kits/not much experience with any of them, had me Pugging a lot in UUB and UUS, just to get some games, if I didn't feel like hosting. I couldn't do that on Gold yet, though.
And some of us still have a myriad of unfinished challenges, so why not work on those when you have/get a good team - perhaps alternating between maps and/or enemies every match, so it doesn't feel like grinding. So you can still be more prepared and make the game rather enjoyable, than just frustrating.
Low: As I still have to finish the promotion challenge, I promoted all of my chars today, meh, now I have to relevel all my Vanguards.
High: Jumped into a silver game with my level 4 Assdept and rocked the boat. Indeed I rocked it so much, that 2 hosts in a row in the same match couldn´t stand the awesomness and left.
High: Afterwards I took my lvl 5 GI into a Reactor Hazard/Cerberus/Gold. I made second place though I joined in w4. Yay.
Low: The reward for my opness: No credits and worse no XP. There goes my Lvl12 GI. BiowerPLZ!

If you are on PC, exiting the game normally and starting it again makes your XP and/or credits come back (or at least it does for me
)

This time I didn´t get either back. Usually for me, it´s just credits that aren´t booked right away. Meh.
