What's the time limit on this one? There better be a banner for it!

Say what now!? Did I miss something?

The last challange is in two parts. One on bronze/silver/gold (whatever you want) and part two - do the same on platinum.

4 extractions (Reaper, Geth, Cerberus, Collector)

I've done part one and will (hopefully) do part 2 tomorrow. Halfdrunk and sleepy don't really work with platinum. Well, not above wave 9 at leat

Yes and you got 132 hours left :)

Challenge Done! Whew....that was a beast! Can't wait to update my banner!

Edit: And why was it that in every single match for the challenge there was that one wave that I almost used every single consumable just to get my team through it (and they just happened to be on objective waves, imagine that).

41% of the games end in failiure? With only 1% being platinum?
That's odd ...

Well, 41% of missions fail. Only 1% of all mission successes are played on platinum. At least, that's my read on it.

When you read the stats that way ... story of BW - nothing's really clear to read

LOL, exactly :)

Ok I figured out how to do the all 6 's power glitch and how to trigger it Bioware knows about the all 6's occuring every now and then but I don't think they know how its triggered.Should I inform yes or now I'm asking because of the bs treatment they gave us on bsn.

Why is it that it took me this long to figure out how well the Kyrsae (sp?) Sniper Rifle works as a shotgun!?!

Hah! Fire from the hip! Nasty scopesies! Away with them!

Thanks, I might give this a try, haha.

Go as a CQC Infiltrator...throw on cloak, run up behind mook, put the muzzle right behind the ear, pull the trigger and watch things go boom. It is so much fun, and alot easier than worry about taking the time to aim with the kick that thing has.

PUGing Platinum again last night. I thought I may as well try and get the map challenge done, since i'd done so many waves over the weekend... good gawd.

We had a Krogan Warlord on our team who insisted on trying to hammer every unit capable of sync killing on the map.

We had a Juggernaut who was clearly AFK for half the match, moving slowly forward and firing at the ground.

That pretty much left it to me and a AIU player, and we still managed to complete the wave 10 objective before being overwhelmed. The other players didn't deserve the credits.

During weekend challenge I got in lobby with a Volus Engineer and I was Geth Juggernaut so I figured I was in for an easy win...nope, the Volus had not upgraded his shield boost ability at all and insisted on running in front of me to place mines and shoot. Needless to say he died alot and I could not keep up with the enemies pounding on me. We won though due to an awesome N7 Destroyer and a good Vorcha.

PUGing platinum is always risky unless you are going to go the easy route and use the box on the RIO map - always better to do it with peeps you know.

On another note...I was able to complete my first unknown, unknown solo bronze match today - even though it spit out collector's at me...had to use a couple of ops packs, a med pack and all of my missles to save my butt from some Prateorians (sp?) - but I did it. Still not sure if I am going to be able to get the 2 Gold Solos for Lone Wolf - soloing silver is still a challenge for me.

Anyone else notice that they snuck in challenges for unknown enemies and unknown maps? You have to extract 25 times...they are under the Squad Elite section...

I used a Krogan Vanguard for my Gold solo runs. Specced for melee with an omni-blade shotgun or assault rifle, juggernaut shield, strength enhancer, cyclonic mod and 100% shield recharge on biotic charge. So long as you're patient, Gold vs Geth isn't that bad with a build like that!

Eventually I am gonna have to nut up and just try it...but I am trying to complete all the other challenges right now...mostly trying to get all the waves upon waves of kits out of the way...getting close though. Just have sniper rifles (3 more of the challenges there), Machine (3 more there), and Reckoning...figure the others that I am missing will take care of themselves as I try to finish those up.

MP friends, I can no longer play with you guys because my xbox died.

This might change, but I'm not expecting a miraculous fix by the end of this week and I can't afford a replacement :/ .

For all of you I've played with, it's been an honor and an extreme pleasure! Thank you for the games and the good times, and maybe we'll be playing Destiny together in the near future!

....P-P-Punny!

What Challenges do people have left to complete for MP?

For me its:

Sniper Rifles
Reckoning
Map Mastery
Solo Mastery
N7
Spectre
and
Mass Effect (which I only need 5 of the 6 above to unlock).

Currently I am trying to focus on getting the Sniper Rifle and Reckoning challenges done. Then I will promote and spend creds and hopefully end up with enough that I will be able to finish N7. Leaving me with just two to go for Mass Effect...what else should I try for?

Pffff.... I still have a lot of challenges to go. I started out really enthusiastic, but at some point it started feeling like grinding to get allllll the extractions done for all the kits. I never -ever- use sniper rifles, so there's that. I just like to play certain kits a lot, so at some point I got tired of it, so I basically stopped actively going for challenges, and keeping track of my progress.

It's been a grind...especially getting 200 waves done for alot of the kits...been doing alot of Bronze to get through the waves as fast as I could. Just have the Reckoning extractions to do now...then its Map, Promotions, and Points for Mass Effect. Then I will have to try to get my 2 gold solos for lone wolf...ugggghhhhghgh. Then I will feel like I can just play again! Although at that point I may have to take a break (either with a different game or SP).
