Play a fat turian because they make your shitty guns Good

Absolutely true, glorious tempest Tsol is probably the best weapon kit that you can have when starting the game

[Arktinen]

Ahhhh that's what you meant. Evn taught me how to play as Krogan but I didn't like it.. it's too butch and manly for me to play myself. I prefer to play the more feminine characters lol, it's probably lame but just didn't feel right with such a hard core character

 

 

Haha I play with the feminine characters... mainly Asari but the Fury and the human females and things like that too Krogan do feel kinda wrong to me but not because of their gender but because of how you play them I think... theyre just so unlike me the Batarian ive tried is good though I think its just the Krogan!

Wow, girls.   Looks like I'm the polar opposite when it comes to characters: Nothing pleases, entertains and amuses me more than playing the biggest, sturdiest, toughest kits!  (Except Volus but they are a whole different territory of rolling around as a mean, small killingmachine.)  And you've seen me, I'm very womanly irl.

The batarians and krogans are my go-to guys if I feel like just roflstomping and shooting - or what I like to say "Grenade? What grenade... I'm a Krogan, no fåcks given!"

 

Damn, I haven't unlocked the Batarian yet!! But I really really want it I like the Quarian Engenier too though. 

I just discovered the BatGuard.. can't believe I've totally overlooked him. Had so much fun biotic charging around like sturdy, dirty scubag.

 

OT: sorry for hijacking your thread, OP.  I agree with the others suggestion to silver for now, and/or less gunbased characters. That way you'll be more help to the whole team, too, in the end. The gun upgrades will come slowly but surely, and in the meanwhlie, you can hone your power characters skills.

Kills are overrated.  Assists are where it's at.

Totally agree

 

Until I get really really really goooood and become a mean killing machine xD

[canozzie68]

You play a Krogan kit (I prefer this Vanguard myself, build doesn't really matter) against Geth. Play it on Gold or lower and use your highest Cyclonics.

 

Then proceed to headbutt or melee everything that moves until you feel better.

 

(If I may....)

 

I heartily endorse this product and/or service.

If other players are stealing your kills, then you need to cloak moar to confuse them as to which enemy you are targeting

To add onto this.  Play as Geth vs Geth to further confuse teammates.  I shoot my Geth teammates all the time.

[inert14]

Overkills are where it's at.

 

Fixed.

 

Claymore headshots all day.

we have been using Gavorn's tricks like this for years, also smashdept, Juggy are others to confuse pugs

Fresh meaty pugs don't know that though

Nonsense.

How can i dislike a post here?

1.Pretend that the enemies are all in their underwear. This will bring out the inner alpha macho bad axe.

2. Be 12-15 beers deep into 24 pack, sharpens your decision making skills. Less hesitation = more kill

3. Get a chitty mic and have tv turned to max volume so teammates get feedback.

4. Command the battlefield, shout commands at your comrades so that everyone can execute your plan properly.

5. If there is a female on your team, assert your alpha dominance and flirt until you secure breeding rights.

6. Play a power class or equip the proper amps.

If you stick to this, you'll make it. If you need further instruction, I will take you under my wing and show the ropes.

[niniendowarrior]

Tell us what guns you have at high level, and we could make some helpful suggestions. Also, some guns synergize well with certain characters (QFE is awesome even with Claymore at level 1, for example) so I'd also ask which ones you have unlocked.

 

This deserves to be restated.

 

Also, plenty of valuable tips on this thread.  RHA is important, but also learn how to trigger different combos.  I would suggest using the acolyte if you have one and slap it on a power-based kit like the adept.  Can't go wrong with that, IMO.

^^^^^^^^ Disregard this post

Why? I assumed that if he's here asking, he's been playing at least a little while. 

 

I will say however, that if you are indeed *brand* new (meaning > 200 hrs) you shouldn't be playing platinum. So he's kinda right.

Platinum is eesee. Just flamer geth or vorcha and get someone else to chain overload all game. Have a demogirl with harrier and homing nades for armored bosses that get close and its gg.

If you can get your pugs to cooperate. If not, just adjust to what they're using. One or two will be Juggs, there will be a flamer, 3rd is always rando, possibly repeat of previous 2 mentioned or you could roll lucky and have someone playing a javelin GI or any self detonating biotic class.
Lol but you're trying to get kills with bad weapons...it may be debatable but piranha is one of if not the best gold weapon. Shouldn't be too hard to max that out and throw it on any infiltrator. The widow is sick too, just don't miss your shots.

[Jeremiah12LGeek]

Dress Smashguard/Smashdept in yellow like Dragoon.

 

Dress Geth like Geth.

 

Dress Shadow like Phantom.

 

Ignore enemy. Shoot teammates. Revel in chaos.

[Ghost Of N7_SP3CTR3]

 I shoot my Geth teammates all the time.

I always end up shooting the guy that plays the Collector Adept.Always.

I do to even when I'm against an abvious faction such as derperus or Geth...cause **** them. 

[OneMore1968]

It really depends how long you have been playing. Think you will find that most people who were playing when the game first released couldn't kill much on Bronze/Silver never mind Gold as your kit etc wasn't up to the task. The weekend challenges were good for that.

This isn't meant to be a dig at new player's but there are a lot of people at the moment that are playing Gold with lvl 1 weapons and no mods or other decent stuff. The Gold in Multiplayer does NOT equate to the hard levels in the Single player and you will really struggle to stay alive let alone kill much. Its far better to stick to lower levels until you are really happy with builds, how weapons behave and what best kills what enemy etc. That way you won't be wasting loads of consumables and credits you don't really have. I understand why you "need" to try Gold because of the high rewards but they don't come to someone who cannot hold their own in a match anyway. And its no fun being dead wave after wave.

I found that I didn't really know anything (probably still don't) until I went for the Solo challenge and that teaches you a lot very quickly.

Also very hard for anyone else to say use that build/class/weapon combo because everyone plays differently and what suits some can be a nightmare for another player. And that's without the s**t EA servers.

Everything OneMore1968 said is true.

 

I would've been a horrible designer and placed Store and Difficulty restrictions on new accounts if I'd designed it.

 

You will all hate this, and rightly so, it's a horrible design.

 

Recruit Packs and Jumbo Equipment Packs would be available from the start.

5 Bronze games (wipe, success, extraction, whatever) unlocks Veteran Packs.

10 Bronze EXTRACTIONS unlocks Silver Difficulty.

10 Silver games (any outcome) unlocks Spectre Packs.

25 Silver Extractions unlocks Gold Difficulty.

20 Gold games unlocks PSP/Arsenal/Reserves.

50 Gold Extractions Unlocks Platinum Difficulty.

25 Platinum Extractions unlocks UR Pack (1 base consumable, 2 silver consumable, 1 gold consumable, one UR, for something like 700k Credits)

 

Yes, this could be seen as punishing alt accounts, but the saddest part is, it would probably re-inforce the stupid newbs bullrushing up the difficulties and leeching, so it really is all a bad idea (Except that UR Pack, I would buy that).

I actually think that would be good... it would be a good build up and it would mean you could only play higher difficulties when youre ready and that means itd be good for bad and good players too... although id probably take away platinum difficulty altogether and let you unlock everything after gold extractions because I think platinum should be optional the only problem is I think if a platinum player went to bronze with ultra rare weapons while everyone else was using common ones... the other players wouldnt do anything in that way I guess the current way is better because everyone has an equal chance of getting new things and playing higher difficulties when they feel ready... but i like the idea in general

[Arkhne]

I always felt like the MP lacked... progression and structure.

Sure, it's BEST to max commons, then uncommons, etc. And only move up difficulties when ready. However, I always felt like it was a little too open.

 

Boring wall of text in spoiler, probably not even worth the time it took to type it up.

Spoiler

But then, I'm one of those weird people who actually liked Final Fantasy XIII. Complaining about an RPG being linear is like complaining about an FPS focusing too much on Gunplay without enough melee options (I've actually seen quite a few complaints about melee not being viable in FPS games).

 

Mass Effect 2 is one of my favourite games ever made. Not because it opened up a whole new style of gaming to me. It's one of my favourite games because it is very well balanced. The storyline is pretty linear, however, the order of it is entirely up to the player, and a knowledgable player can even totally ignore certain characters or missions and still make the progression quota. Shopping after every mission is optional, you can save up and go on a spending spree right before the main story missions trigger. Combat/Gameplay time vs Non-Combat/blahblah-in-cities time is quite balanced too, I always feel like actual gameplay is never far away. Mass Effect 3 got these so very, very wrong. NOT visiting hub-worlds constantly results is missed War Assets, missed Missions, etc. Mass Effect 3 is very much a bioware game, so riddled with (often boring) conversations and (overly done) story-telling that it often feels like the game is forgotten. Without the Multiplayer, Mass Effect 3 would be listed as one of my least favourite games.
