The only reason I used the Vanguard is because that's the only character I have with Stasis. I haven't unlocked the Asari Adept. 

And yeah, don't use the Arc Pistol. It is good for taking out shields and that's about it. Really, all I did was throw around Bubble the entire game. But I do have the Widow now so maybe someone else can play as an Adept with Stasis.

So we all good to continue our persuit for Gold Medal finishes tonight?  Theyr'e going to balance change shit again today if they hold to the weekely change thing so who knows what we'll need to deal with.

For Dagger you can control the spawn points so i think strategically placing people in certain spots we can corral Cerberus into a corner and the snipe their faces off on the elimination rounds anyway.

I got the Unwavering achievement in SP, and I have to say it was pretty easy. Insanity was pretty easy, way easier than ME2, especially as an Infiltrator. It was certainly easier than grinding Gold maps. 

That said, I will help you guys if you need another person for Gold. Will be on tonight.

Good to know Barneet.  I restarted my game and picked Infiltrator with a mind that i'd go thru it again on Insane.   I hadn't gone farther than import my character and pick my class so no great loss to re-start :lol:

I"m sure when you visit these MP maps in SP they're cake after spending so many hours playing them.

I need to be playing at least Silver to feed my challenge and specter pack addictions :)  No more bronze.

After an extremely rocky start to the night, frankly embarassing....  N7 Alpha team took back Firebase Dagger after it dogged us on three previous attempts.  It tried to thow that shitty out in the open Hack mission at us again on Wave 10 but we came prepared, overcame and succeeded with a full extraction.  Firebase Glacier and Firebase Reactor have been put on notice !

 

Edit : If Barheet's decoy gave him points every time it saved our asses..... he would have had a million points :)

Eviction notices were enforced at Firebase Glacier and Firebase Reactor by N7 Alpha Team tonight.  Cerberus Gold troops were removed from these territories after aggressive negotiations .  The galaxy is once again safe for our children.  Two members of N7 Alpha Team were awarded the highest service achievement for Unwavering Committment against all challengers to the Alliance.

Great games, but man they were fucking long, lol. That being said, I dont give a fuck because I have now gotten Gold on every MP map in the game. In the end it was Firebase Dagger that gave us the most trouble. Who would have thought.

 

To anyone who wants to go for Gold I would suggest a few things..

Salarian Infiltrator, Salarian Engineer, Asari Adept are the classes you need to use if you want to have a fair shot at it. Running in with 2 Soldiers and 2 Vanguards will 99 percent of the time get your poop pushed in.

 

1. Decoy is fucking HUGE. 2 Decoys, game over for the enemy. Combine 2 Salarian Engineers with 2 Salarian Infiltrator and Gold Phantoms are your bitch. They literally just stare at the fucking decoys while the infiltrators energy drain then headshot them.

2. Having an Asari in the mix is the next best alternative due to the bubble and their ability to spam Warp and Throw.

3. The Widow is your best friend.

4. A high level carnifex is the next best thing. With my Carnifex at level 5 my cooldown on my Asari is +183 and thats before the last tier of Justicar that reduces Heavy pistol weight by 30. Add that and Cooldown is at a full 200 percent. Basically you have full cooldown and a beast weapon. It also works good on Engineers.

 

Anyone who wants in on some gold runs or needs to finish up a few maps for the cheevo let me know.

Nice job, guys. I can't believe Reactor took 43 minutes though...holy crap! That does make it seem that Silver would be the best time-to-credits ratio. 

Alright Bunny, let's see you solo Gold now. You need to get that added to your sig.

I think these games took longer because they were such shitty maps we adopted the 'let them come to us' strategy rather than going hunting.

The ammo spawn on Firebase Reactor seemed slow. You can't just put alot of lead in the air and see what falls over. I was nervous going back there to get ammo and taking it from the snipers. Everytime I went down that ladder for ammo, I would lose containment there. The only thing I could come up with was to hold bubble on the ladder and save ammo in case something got through the bubble or rushed the center ramp.

 

Glacier always had rounds in it though.. It seemed that way to me.

I just think that ammo box is glitched, no other ammo box does what that one does in the extraction spot on Reactor.  Shit...  with Bunny and I both using Widows, we were only pulling a max of 8 rounds out of the damn box and then it was 'empty'.  I know normally the boxes have only X amount of ammo in them before they have ot re-gen but this ammo box is just plain broken.
