I've beaten it once. And by beaten I mean, I acted as a meat shield while a group of three friends basically carried me through the map. They were very friendly, and I even told them I didn't think I'd be much help, but they kept me on board. There were quite a few nail biting moments, but somehow we ending with a full extraction. It was fun, but frantic.
6 Geth primes in one round, several times in a row.

um...question.
if the love interest is always going to be alive, but stranded on an unexplored planet while shepard is always dead (or just not on the normandy), then doesnt that make it inherintly bittersweet rather than bittersweet?
and isnt it outright downer if the love interest happens to be tali, since if they're stranded then at some point in the near future tali's enviro suit is going to fail isnt it?
theres nowhere she can actually do maintainance, so its not going to work forever, even if she had the resources to continually maintain the suit, which as far as i know, she doesnt....does she?

2 million Phantoms in 10 days?
This does not bode well for Operation Goliath.

It's "up to speculation" which means either Inferred Holocaust or Ass Pull.

Tali will adapt. She'll have a bubble. They have to have a bubble on the Normandy. Nothing bad would happen to my Tali...I mean, Tali in general.
Also, can't tell if adorable or out of character...

I know.
It says 2 million Phantoms were killed in 10 days. Half that number in Brutes need to be killed in a third the time. Do the math.

Adorable and I believe it's a reference to the "Tali is made of spiders" thing.

Ah okay misunderstood.

tali made of spiders?

A drawing on Deviantart that was part of the Tali's face meme...she removes her mask and spiders came out of it. I would still like her. I love spiders.

But Brutes show up in earlier rounds than Phantoms, so there's more rounds to kill them and more of them too kill. There's only like, two or three Phantoms in a Bronze map total, but a nightmarish number of them in Silver, along with everything else that—
Second thought, I'm going to agree with you and quick acting like I know what I'm taking about. Yeah, it's gonna be tough.
I love Tali, but if she was full of spiders, I would take a flamethrower to her and the rest of the Quarians in a heartbeat.

Does Shepard get killed in all of the endings? (No specifics please, just yes or no)

Had some good MP matches with Barkey last night. We kicked some ass in the silver matches. Gotta love that mattock and my frag grenades.

I did the math.
13888.88 Brutes need to be killed a day. Rounding down.
^^ I was there!

The conclusion:
However, that doesn't mean that Mass Effect 3 is, at its heart, a bad game. On the contrary - the things that Mass Effect has generally been good at, including likeable companion characters, visual direction, and, scenario-to-scenario, engaging storytelling, have all been preserved and are in many ways the best the series has ever offered. However, the lows are also lower than they have been before, and those who have been looking to a satisfying conclusion story-wise will at best find themselves scratching their heads. For those who have invested themselves in that galaxy and those stories and characters, Mass Effect 3 is still an essential purchase - but it's one that comes with a lot of strings attached.
What's not debatable, though, is that the Mass Effect we know is, for the most part, done and gone - the loose ends have all been wrapped up, the characters are finished their stories, and the galaxy Bio Ware built will be a very different place in the future. At the very least, it feels good to finally be able to put Shepard and the Normandy's crew to rest.
I am serious. This is my serious face.

Shit pickles...um...that's a lot of Brutes.

no, she does not die in every ending.
but she only lives in one.

they will all go down in flames. not a single one left behind. in the world of the living i mean.

he lives in only one of endings, and only if you have high enough assets.

Lives = takes a breath while lying next to a vague pile of rubble.
Why the hate for spiders? arachnids are nice. Insects too.

As opposed to ceasing to exist as solid matter... I'll take that single breath any day.

Fail to see how a breathing chest is enough proof for a "live" ending, but okay.
Lord of Castamere
You imagine that said breath is the first of many, that's how. 
I didn't make the endings anyway...
