    Lets see your best scores!

    Quarian Infiltrator using the Geth Plasma Shotgun X
    Quarian Infiltrator using the Geth Plasma Shotgun X
    Quarian Infiltrator using a Widow VII
    Quarian Infiltrator using a Widow VII

    The Pizzapasta guy in the second one did nothing the whole game. He would die and at the end of the round res and go into cover, and he still got 30k credits out of it because we(Read: I) got the team to wave 7.

    @andriv: They will start tonight I think. This weekends is really easy. Just have to promote 2 characters for the individual one and it is 150,000 characters total. I got 3 I'm gonna promote as soon as it updates.

    Also, the Plasma Shotgun is amazing with the infiltrators.

    @Cataphract1014: I have a soldier and an engineer ready to promote, we will reach 150.000 tonight.

    don't think i have the plasma shotgun, I'm using a lot of cloak and a sniper. It's probably a good idea to use the cloak to get in close and then take them out with the shotgun.

    How are you using it? The geth shotty disables cloak as soon as you start charging it. Are you starting the charge and then engaging cloak? Or are you just not charging up shots at all? (I'm assuming you're using cloak for the damage boost you get on that first shot, right?)

    I either charge then cloak or just don't charge. I fire it quickly. I have it up to X so the damage it does, even without cloak, kills stuff quickly in gold.

    I like to think of ME3's multiplayer as a team effort.
    No matter the score, its teamwork that got us through it.
     
    I played soldier for a change today (normally Krogan Sentinel or Human Adept) and I had the lowest score, yet I didn't go down once and I kept ressing the Drell Adept, Asari Vanguard and Salarian Infiltrator.
    For all their overpoweredness they still went down and a 'lowly' soldier saved their hides.

    Recently, I've been taking a backseat on killing. I'm just staying behind and casting a Stasis bubble (as an Asari Adept) on everything and letting everyone else take the kill, mostly in part to me grabbing the "Veteran" achievement and because I just wanna level up my character in the least amount of work possible. Not like that Pizza guy though, piece of shit.

    Despite all this though, I seem to place in the top two spots in every match with a small lead/follow-up in comparison to the other points leader.

    I only did enough to get my character to 20 and didn't play again after that. But I found myself in more support roles spamming my singularity and other biotic powers plus helping others with revives. Also keeping our area clear from anyone trying to flank us. I got less kills but the team stayed alive and was able to make it all the way through. Could never beat Gold though unfortunately. Also never played enough to get better guns. Did unlock some characters though via the purchases.

    You get appearance options, new weapons and new classes most commonly from Spectre packs, be warned however that it's very random.
    I got my Krogan pretty quick but I know others who have bought loads of packs and gotten everything except the Krogan!

    @TaliciaDragonsong: A killing machine is as valuable to the team as a support player. He seams to be very good as an extremely offensive player. I am usually in the last or second to last place.

    @andriv: Oh I wasn't attacking people! Just saying that the whole scoring concept isn't really that good.
    I mean, play a Biotic and nuke the crap out of crowded groups and see your score fly!
    Just saying I rather have a support player who's reliable than some dude who only saves his own hide because he wants a high score!
     
    @Z3RO180
    I agree, I got lucky and got several of the other races right away but I'd be very pissed off if I didn't get to play as a Krogan because of some stupid lottery system!

    Yes. There's been numerous rounds where I basically did nothing except crowd control to run in solo and rez Vanguards that were spamming their rush when the same group of mobs could have been killed without casualties with a little co-ordination and tactics. Instead, those matches usually boil down to a war of attrition with the other half of the team constantly fighting over the kills and end up getting steamrolled as a result.

    To each their own, though.

    @TaliciaDragonsong: yeah, the scoring is only fair to the players that kill a lot.

    They don't give you any reason to play a support role

    Exactly what I mean! If everyone's on another side of the map and dies you're getting nowhere, so I tend to mop up or watch backs.
     
    @andriv
    The credits at the end of a round are enough reason for me.
    I prefer supporting and getting paid over rushing for kills and dying after a few waves.

    Ok, follow up then that I wasn't able to confirm for myself in singleplayer since everything was so weak. When you charge it up, it almost has like two charge stages, it's like "..thump ...THUMP" and those are about a second apart. After that first thump, is it significantly less powerful (or the same thing?) as the second fully charged state? I've been playing mostly bronze with a Level I or II plasma shotgun and I'm not entirely sure. It's definitely my favorite weapon so far. That and maybe the Carnifax or Paladin pistol.

    Yeah, I tend to get the top score in games, but just because I know my class really well and play to my strengths. I still always play for the team and will take 2nd place any time if it means we survive.

    Asari adepts are very good support, but they can also be insane killers. Specced right your Warp > throw explosions can demolish stuff. You can take 3 or 4 bars of armor off of and atlas or prime, and that is enough to kill the tier 1 enemies in one explosion and the tier 2 ones in two. It can be rather crappy when people steal your explosions with a tech move. Tech bursts don't do any where near the damage of a explosion specced adept.

    @Cataphract1014: I'll one up with Stasis.
    Specc it for bubble, max warp, put one or two points in Throw and then max Fitness/Justicar.
     
    Bubble stasis is a death trap, follow it up with a Carnifax pistol headshot or use throw/warp to cause a biotic explosion.
     
    So I kept getting demolished in Silver playing duo with my cousin.
    We were both level 20, he played Engineer and I played Krogan Sentinel.
    Today we promoted our characters for the event, got them up to level 13 and proceeded to try a duo silver as Sentinel (him) and Engineer (me).
    We totally ravaged the opposition without any trouble, made a new record time too.
     
    Is it me or is the difficulty very wonky? One night we can't get past wave 6, the other we wipe the floor with them.
    Good fun though, one powerhouse and one support can accomplish a lot!

    Well, I finally promoted two characters for the weekend event. Playing Vanguard made me feel bad. I wasn't even using Nova since I was playing an Asari, but I still felt bad. I'm not one to hog all of the kills.

    Best chance is spectre packs. They will always have a gold in them. Veteran packs have a small chance at them.

    It's easy to rank first as long as you stick to the Geth Shotgun, Widow and Carnifex/Paladin and spam skills.
