Forum:Platinum difficulty is hard!

Hello guys & gals! :)

I tried playing the "Platinum" difficulty setting and can never make it past wave 7 with my team of random players. I feel that the "Gold" difficulty setting in Mass Effect 3 multiplayer is equivalent to the "Heroic" setting in the Halo series. The "Platinum" difficulty setting in Mass Effect 3 multiplayer feels like "Legendary" in the Halo series and I never play "Legendary". I don't play "Platinum" but have no problem with "Gold". I normally play "Silver".

I would really appreciate any tips to help me beat "Platinum" just once. After this "1" victory over "Platinum", I will never play "Platium" again, even if it means me missing out on an N7 Operation Weekend reward. My success rate(as in, making it all the way to extraction) for "Gold" is about 50% success/50% failure and "Silver" is about 85% success/15% failure. "Platinum" is about 25% success/75% failure.

I use a "Krogan Battlemaster" with a level 5 Shield Booster Gear(+30% Shields), Level 3 Cyclonic Modulator, Level 3 SMG Amp, and Level 3 Armor Piercing ammo. My "Krogan Battlemaster" is equiped with a level 10 Tempest with +70% stability mod and the 45% chance of not using a thermal clip mod; my power cooldown time is 200% & my Barrier gives me 100% shield restoration after a successful Biotic Charge at the expence of a 50% power cooldown time reduction because of my Barrier.
