Well, damn son, I thought the Quarian Infiltrator was good, but I was wrong, oh so wrong...
Nothing touches the sheer might and awesomeness that's the Salarian Infiltrator with decent gear. I have both a Mantis X and a Phalanx IX as my loadout, but the Mantis is only there for long range kills, and even then, the Phalanx rapes it in every way possible, as the range and damage it causes it's insane.
But let's not talk about weapons, let's talk about Energy Drain. I wonder how long are they going the keep ED the way, it's bound to get a massive Nerf one of these days. Taking out the entire shields of everything less than a Prime/Atlas even on Gold, even doing some health damage as well. And the stun animation...oh so lovely that it is, the perfect setup for a so easy headshot. And the 3m area that rapes everything over and over every 3 seconds... Yes, because at %156 recharge speed, TC and ED comes out faster than the Geth can scream "We're reaching a Consensus".
I finally made my first two full Gold games with a full random team (all Salarians, it was pretty glorious) and managed to come in first in both, though the first one was rather fun and hard because it was on Firebase Giant and it made me proud to come in first with a rather good score (though the rest of the team perfomed well too):
Though this next one, oh boy what a tale: I was doing a Quick Match up for Silver games as I usually do, and end up in a game with two N7 10s and a N7 120s. The leader waited to see if both the 10s left and tried to kick them out, but after a couple of minutes we ended up playing. We rolled Firebase Dagger and managed to get an extraction somehow. The end result was a biiiiiiiiiiit one sided, for me 
But the best part is reserved for last. The 10s guys still remained in the team, and we went for another game. We rolled Firebase Giant and immediatly I thought "okay, we're fucked". The 10s didn't even last wave 1 without dying left and right. By Wave 3, we had the 4 Indoctrination thingies to do, so I went immediatly for it to get through that wave as fast as we could.
Dante644 had enough with the 10s dying and left the game after he got executed by a Geth Trooper (I was on the other side of the map and couldn't get to him on time, but one of the 10s was right beside him and didn't even revived him). So we held out till Wave 5, until the 10s also decided they had enough of dying and both leave at the same time, while I was fending off the Prime.
I was like "WTF, thank you all for leaving me alone on the map I hate the most", but still carried on. Survived Wave 5, Wave 6 was the 4 primary enemies round so it was pretty easy to hold on. Wave 7, 8 and 9 as well, though it was getting progressively harder, even with the Salarian Infiltrator being the beast that he is. I was thinking to myself "Well, if Wave 10 isn't the Upload connection, I might have a shot at this"...I was wrong. It was the Upload connection. Worse, it was what probably is the shittiest, most unfair upload connection in the MP, the one in the middle of the open area of Firebase Giant. On Wave 10. With no Missiles. Alone. Fuck.
What happened was one of the most intense 5 minutes I ever had on the MP of this game. I ran from the open area down the ramps, then I ran the other way up the ramps and into the open area, on and on while the biggest shitstorm of Geth enemies was around me. Still, I managed to get the upload complete in the last 20 seconds XD. Afterwards it was just a matter of surviving and picking off the enemies one by one, which was still no easy task given the 4 Primes always on my ass and the huge amount of Hunters as well. In the end, managed to get an extraction and thus ended what was probably one of the most epic MP moments I ever had in my life. Here are the end results if anyone's wondering (Sorry for the cutting out the time in the pic, it was over 40 minutes):
Sorry for the long post, but I just had to share what an epicly amazing day it has been for me on ME3's MP.
