But you can put the mp on private and solo it? Or did you mean something else?

Sniper rifles are overpowered.
Currently I'd say that sniper rifles in general are too overpowered. Sure, I agree that it's fun to use them and can get those annoying heavy enemies fast, but when you want to try something new, say pistols or shotguns and your whole team is carrying nothing but sniper rifles, you will know you're useless except as a bullet sponge and combowise. And this happens most of the random groups. During past weeks, I have not seen team without at least 2/4 using snipers while the third might been vanguard or so they go with shotgun
Some weapons are nearly useless and some are too useful.
I believe 1.05 tried to balance this if I'm right, but Vanguisher and Equalizer still dominates most of the games. Of course they should be better from any common weapons or so, but lack of diversity kills the multiplayer fast I think. Maybe add some juice to Venom shotgun for example or other rarely used / difficult to use weapons? And bring back assault rifles somehow making them more relevant

@Neeki81 It depends on the player. I consistently keep topfragging with Asari Adept and Talon/Sidewinder on Gold by a difference of at least 5k even with a team of snipers.

@Tuinbonen I agree. Ultimately it comes to the player skill. Though Asari Adept is one of the easiest non-snipers due to constant biotic combo's. Other easy one would be human engineer with freezing the environment and when the enemies goes to freeze themselves, unleash the combo's. Oh and Salarian architect worked quite nicely with shocking barricade. Just running next to them and then shotgunning and comboing them point blank. So yeah, it depends on the player, but usually everyone just snipes from the farthest corner because enemies really do hurt and it's easy way ☹️

I agree with you wholeheartedly about assault rifles. the bullet hoses like the cyclone and the reverent seen to work decent , but the halberd and the mattock both lack dps. Oh and the recoil on the Valkyrie is so terrible that even with a stock, it still jiggles all over the place.

@IIIPripyaTIII I mean something else, and entirely different mode. Since the multiplayer and the standard difficulty of enemies was thought as a coop mode and not solo mode. Like mini mission in those maps.

@Grekinski I think you're right, This multiplayer is so similar to the ME3 (Which is not inherently a bad thing), but it would be interesting to see a change.
I think a Fortress Assault would be interesting, and they could be super creative with it maybe split groups up to deal with multiple objectives at once, or holding certain points while your teammate hacks a node. (Old school ME1 or ME2 style)
