Got a Hurricane IX, hooray! I tried out the 'new' Talon, and he's definitely better able to actually hurt things with his bow, but It's still pretty clear that the best way to use him is to spam cain mines endlessly.
In brighter news, I got the Warlord to click a bit better for me today, got reapers/rio/gold, and the 2 of my team mates run for the crate. I think it's a weak-ass move on platinum, so to see people doing it on gold was kind of infuriating. Luckily me and another guy ran straight into the spawn and started smashing it (well I was smashing it, but at least he was there). This happened in several waves, I'd just end up running around killing everything that hadn't aggroed on the cowards in their box of cowardice, and then at the end go and nuke the banshees or brutes that were humping the box. They kind of got over it after a while, which was good, but I still doubles the score of the second place player. Being able to kill a Banshee with 2 Biotic Hammer 3 hit combos is too good. I only ever got into a synch during extraction, but luckily a team mate had a missile ready. Still need to get better at dealing with phantoms with him, but he is undoubtedly a beast.
