Why isn't Cerberus the most hated faction? That's pretty obvious- because Geth exist.
This has to be stressed, as there really wasn't much else that needed to be added in this thread.

So, how many of you played reckless power focus CQ Fury today? I've been playing mostly that this whole time.
I'd even go as far as saying that the Acolyte on the CQC Fury is counter-productive since your shield drain keeps you alive.
...Damage from any source counts. Your Acolyte will refill your shields as long as you fire it in AF range.
^ Interesting! Maybe I'll try that ADAS Fury one day after all?

Adas is too slow for CQC, not to mention it tends to miss a lot up close.
^ But it's like the only stagger weapon I like anymore.
Just thought I'd leave this here...
Guess what kit she was using!I know she's not even a fan of soloing and this is her only platinum solo to date, complete with good time.
What's the moral of the story? L2P Sinful...

What going on with my topic? Derailed already? ... I don't know if I succeeded or failed with this topic?.. Oh well, I had some good laughs today!
^ But this play style is much easier against other factions. That's my point.
In what way has it been derailed?
It hasn't?... Does that mean I have to read the rest of the replies then? ...
... I'll do it later. >_>

If there's anything that needs to be stressed at all on these forums in general, its **** Geth. **** them hard, up the *** , with a Claymore.

I think you said it best some time ago:
"Sometimes you just need to get up and pump 3 or 4 missiles into that (lone) geth prime or rocket trooper that stagger-f*cked you to death." q5tyhj

Sounds correct to me.. I actually had a game earlier today with upper where I pumped about 3 missiles into a group of pyros and hunters that had been elbow humping me... I honestly think cobra missiles were put into this game soley for dealing with those cheating robotic buttwipes.
^ Sounds like Geth love to me.
cerb is my least fav enemy and collector is most. but any decent fury is capable of annihilate cerbs on gold/plat. and she suffers mostly against geth stunlock.
To me they aren't. Because I edit coalesced.bin so everything does the same damage as a predator pistol.

So I still have to ask. How many of you have tried reckless CQ power combo focus Fury yet? You don't have to spec out of DC if you don't want too, but you can't rely on it to play the comfort of range game. QC biotic combo focus only. And practice makes perfect.

Why you stunlock them easy Fury targets first. There's no way to handle something like Phantom dead squad QC and out in the open with possible Turrets out there, Altases in the sky, and evil Guardian that deny you of biotic combo detonations. One reason Fury can still own Geth CQ and not Cerberus. Cerberus still puts Furies more on the defense then Geth, With Geth you only have to steer clear of Primes out in the open. That's it. To which is no issue because you should be focusing on CQ'ing mooks anyway. If you do see mooks near one Prime, it's still doable. Just play the biotic combo tag stagger game. And don't worry, All Geth have shields for you to rob them of too.

You deserve a medal.
^ Agreed.
Geth are saints compared to Cerberus.
^ It's what I'm trying to tell everyone.
Cerberus is the stupidest faction ever, because unless you have a stagger ability, phantoms are effectively invincible. Honestly, nothing else about cerberus even matters, since phantoms are invincible to damage taken, can snipe your shields in one shot from halfway across the map, can turn invisible, and can sync kill you. They are literally every other bad thing in the game combined into one.
Geth are the easiest faction, because unless you're a complete idiot you won't even get shot. Every one of their units is slow, weak, and you can headshot nigh everything. Sure, I've had my share of dying to geth turrets and drones, but that's *my* fault; I ignored the deployment movement on the Prime and paid the price. Versus phantoms, it's just the game mechanics saying "screw you, and you, and you. Oh, and you too, just to be equally dickish to all."
^ I was going to say something along the lines of what you said about Geth being nothing but dumb rust buckets. If it weren't for something like 3 Primes on Platinum, I don't think Geth would be the hardest faction with least player success ratio.
Collectors are the most fair and thought out. ie. Biotic teams own Collectors (only no shields faction out there), yet Collectors have bees to suppress this biggest threat to them.
Reapers just have annoying teleporting Banhsees that cover ground too fast and never shut up. And swarmers.
Then you have Cerberus. The true biggest cheaters out there. That go as far as requiring specific stagger side arms just for on-host Phantoms (aka. biggest cheaters in the game) on certain kits that have no answer to on host phantoms (and if you really want to rock with CQ kits, hosting is also the key). Smoke screens blocking power lock ons (otherwise everyone being on the crutch scanner bandwagon can at least see the enemies for shooting) and constant shield gating from the combined forces of Nemesis, Phantoms, and stray Atlas rockets from across the map having beef only with you for some reason, and not the teammates near it. Just because Mr.Atlas may have beef with you being the top scorer. Or how about Turrets that melt you by just glassing at you once "Oh, you where kitting? Well sorry, you should of known to take another route. We turrets have domain over this part of the map. So rage gel, pop some ops packs, and be gone."
Geth? Just avoid the Primes. And even those are dumb enough if you constantly attack it with radius attacks to take out their pets too, forcing them to put out more instead of attacking. Or enter melee range to force it to melee, miss and continue your own offense. Simple. Heck. Primes sometimes just stand there doing nothing. So yeah. Geth. Dumbest faction out there. They also walk together in sitting target clumps just to make it easier on you for AOE raidus powers and combos. Walking toaster targets. How much easier do you guys want them to be? And if you can't avoid the stagger zones, stick to stagger resistant kits.
So really, I don't understand how folks here can say Geth are harder, especially for CQ action as that is my focus with this topic. Yet whenever someone plays something like CQ melee Krogan, it's almost always preset to Geth. Ditto for pugs playing anything. Geth is a fave faction for many new to Gold pugs from what I've seen.
