You, lurker......yes you...sitting at home reading this post right now:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

stop pre-setting Giant/reapers and ghost/cerberus and condor anything.  stop it right now.

 

My most common presets: White Reapers (Solo/randomPUGs), Glacier Geth, and Ghost Collectors.

It is better than many other presets like Collectors on Hydra. Objectives can be a nightmare on Hydra with collectors, especially devices.

 

Otherwise, yes, UU anytime. But people do preset, so Giant is not the worst case.

U/U is always risky on PS3 (Where I play), this is why it is prudent to atleast preset one of them. Though, I would probably just preset collectors all day everyday if I could.

I remember this movie as being both very stupid and very funny. Searching for that gif seems to reinforce that memory:

Only ever seen it once, and I remember finding it funny.

I agree. Stop it! Use Rio and let's camp all in the box of shame instead.

^'The box of shame' is a BSN construct, and is totally ridiculous, being in there does prevent synch kills, but not any other type of attack, so you would die anyways, since you can't move or have any good line to attack anything.

 

Fighting at that end of the ship is the easiest spot to hold vs enemies.

 

Why don't we start calling the inside hallway of White 'The hallway of shame' because that also makes it easier to hold vs enemies?

We need the entire list. Giant LZ of shame, Hydra ammo crate of shame, Condor hill of shame. I'm sure others will do the rest for me. Well, I hope so. I'm tired.

The box of shame was a real thing back in 2012 and 2013, you just needed a Volus to not die. On my first plat game on Rio I bumped into a team that used this strategy. We spent the entire match into this tight space, getting out only for objective waves. It was long and boring but very easy.

 

After that I bumped into several other teams who used the box of shame but I left.

Funny, I never had the guts for the box of shame.
At least u gave me an idea with that spammin volus that keeps hanging onto my leg. I can take him there - and give that box a sparkle.

^It was kind of a real thing, that would still be a tough way to win. And you better hope when all eight enemies are on you (point blank) that the Volus knew what the hell they were doing.

 

I can think of easier ways, like do Giant and stick a Juggy in the landing zone inside a Justicar bubble, with a Volus and a GT behind him ...

^ I've boxed of shame so the pugs wouldn't cry a few times in the past. Haven't seen it done in awhile though.

Admit it Loufi, you still camp that box like a baws.

Joking aside, who cares if the maps preset (unless you promote), I'd take Gigant anyday over Condor.

I deleted Condor from my Coal Bin so that nightmare of a glitch is not available anymore

Love how this is turning into another glorious Condor thread. Well, except that abomination of a post above me.

I don't know if Giant was easier, but for sure faster. I think the point for Rio campers was to avoid sync-kills. It was a long time ago, getting Banshees in the very first wave was considered frightening lol. I don't remember exactly the details, but I'm sure the guys were using high dps weapons (I'm certain there was at least one Reegar), and the volus didn't use his other powers. It was pretty smooth actually, as you never get the 8 enemies at the same time, but usually between 2 and 4.

How do you think I extract above bronze !

I don't mind Condor personally. In fact I quite like this map and would appreciate to land on it more often.

Arkhne, get out of here talking about top-scoring. We had that mentioned for 23 minutes from another one, yesterday, *no* support with objectives, w11 killstreaks, back seat driving after sync-killssss- and if no top score, there is game lag that explains that. That's the trouble with chatroom invites- it's Worse. One thing worse than a low CP+Weapon L1+no equip noob , is a high CP something taking all possible corners. I'm slowly getting allergic to those.

There is a world of difference between top scoring and score-whoring. Scorewhores are the single worst thing in the game. I was merely pointing out that when played properly, a Volus can still dish out the pain.

That'll be down to you watching the other players reloading and locking them up with Shield Boost, right?  ;)  :P  :lol:

 

Joking, of course, but it did happen to me twice in our Volus game - remember when I was dead in the EZ? 2.5k hours of MP gameplay and I was so panicked I was trying to take cover with a Volus!  :blush:

 

OT: I'll always leave a preset Giant lobby, but I don't mind playing there. It's Tuchanka, after all.  Extraction wave always amuses me, because I don't care who you are or what you are - I won't be with you in the EZ until the final seconds, and I don't care if you die and get stomped because you've run out of all the missiles you failed to fire during the waves that mattered. Same with Reactor - I'm chilling on the opposite side of the map until the 30 second mark.
