I've noticed two types of vanguards in multiplayer: The kind that are really, really good, zoom in, steal all the kills and piss everyone off, and the kind that can't vanguard worth shit, zoom in, die, and piss everyone off.

Vanguard is my favorite class in the single player game. :(

Lets have a multi-player story thread guys. Just because. Do you prefer to play with friends, or do you just play with some random shmucks?

[personal profile] 2nd_spectre 2012-03-28 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
I'll do either. Er, play with friends or random people.

I typically stick to salarian engineer, sometimes attempt drell adept. But man drells are squishy.

I am sorry for your vanguard woes, anon :(

Never tried the multiplayer. I'm pretty sure I'd be terrible at it because I hate shooter games and have no aiming skills.

I only put up with in-game combat because MA is such a great story apart from all the shooting at things.

Friends all the way. Both because I have a lot of old multiplayer horror stories I'd rather not revisit, and because there's a lot more freedom to fail with friends. We've been gaming together for-freaking-ever, for the most part, so we're all just as comfortable having 'let's dick around with these new things we unlocked and might be horrific at because we've never done this class/skill combo before' time as we are actually going for mission completion.

Friends only, typically. I figure if I want to play pubs, I'll play DOTA.

I usually play quarian infiltrator, and I really hate vanguards because they always seem to kill the guy I've lined up or send him flying in some blast. Leave some kills for the rest of us, man. :c

I'm so addicted to MP it's a little ridiculous. Always play with friends only, and almost always with another mun that RP's Mordin. Used to be a shotgun-wielding Vanguard until I embraced and loved the Sniper Rifle.

I play Turian Sentinel/Soldier (what a surprise) and Salarian Engineer. With the Sentinel and Engineer I roll with a Black Widow, it's amazing. Waiting on a Salarian Infiltrator now. I have everything but that, Asari Adept, and Krogan Sentinel unlocked.

I've only played with random shmucks so far, since most of my friends are on PC and I'm on the xbox. Almost without fail, they've been teams of mostly vanguards that melee everything before I can line up a shot. I miss sniper bullet time.

It's worth pointing out that the latency in multiplayer is really fucking bad, particularly for Vanguards. Ask a Vanguard roughly how many times they've tried Charging or Novaing only for the game to flat out ignore their input for seconds at a time.

Mostly with friends, but if there's only one or two of us, we usually make the last slots open to public. Sometimes I'll play with random people once I've lvled up whoever I'm grinding with.

Don't really have a class/species I stick with, but generally I prefer being an engineer or inflitrator class. I dabbled in the vanguard class for the first time through MP and...it's not really my playstyle lol. Although when you have Krogan soldier partner, it turns the entire session into one massive space football.

I am the very model of an engineer salarian. Besides that I am rather fond of my drell adept and my krogan sentinel. Aaaaand my human engineer because hot damn that combat drone is so useful.

I play with friends and random dudes. Sometimes both at the same time.

I live in a weird timezone, so it's very rare that I can play with friends. Usually go for strangers and give no fucks if I suck compared to them, I just make sure to not die too often as to not annoy people.

And have been playing Human Infiltrator and enjoying it. Kinda want a Quarian Infiltrator, but still need to unlock (only recently started playing).

I feel you about the Vanguards, though. B( All my frustrations when I line up for a shot, only to have them barge in and swoop the kill.
galacticheroine: (guns out)

Vanguard is my favorite class in SP and MP. I play with #TeamVanguard often, and honestly it's kind of hilarious to see four Vanguards chargnova'ing everything in sight.

Which honestly I also do in SP, I keep waiting for Garrus to yell at me for kill-stealing.

I've actually only ever played MP with friends, since I'm afraid of randoms, tbqh. deeply embedded fears from other games. I am usually a human vanguard, but I did just unlock an asari and I enjoy biotic-skating all over the playing field, so I've been playing as her more.
