1. You can still set off your own combos. Although if you subject a enemy with warp and before you can send a throw their way someone initiates another action such as reave etc. it can cancel the detonation. 2. Shock wave is fairly worthless in MP for a few reasons. Horde nature of MP makes it difficult to use in same manner as campaign. It is also significantly reduced in distance and power compared to Mass Effect 2. Finally it does not reliably detonate biotic combos unless the target is hit by the first two waves.

3. Can't turn him off. I would not recommend muting volume. He only talks for a few seconds anyways. 4. Krogan and geth have most effective and quickest heavy melee attacks. Batarian has strong but very slow heavy melee. It is possible to turn a geth infiltrator into a enemy melting machine, the trade off is extremely low health and shields. Good for silver and below, requires some expertise to be a effective part of the team on gold. 5. Many unspoken customs. Top 3. Gold matches are tough, even for experienced high level characters with top of the line gear. Resist the urge to take a low rank character in for experience. Generally you will get kicked, be a undo burden, or the team will wipe before you net a return equal to bronze. Explore all different character types, learn the pros and cons of each, try different weapon load outs etc., get comfortable with the builds on bronze and silver. Promote to raise rank and "status" (sad to say but now days even 200 rank people and above get kicked from gold matches). In short perfect a few characters that you can deploy with confidence and help the team. And finally, do not be a lone wolf. Silver is to the point where a lone wolf can cause a team to wipe when someone tries to cross the map to save you. It can and will get you kicked. When in doubt as the team via chat if there is a strat to the map if you are unsure. Oh and one more. When the activation missions are called out (beacons etc.) do not pile around the cloaked infiltrator at the device. Be somewhere else as you will actually help that person by not drawing all the enemy troops to their location.

6. Adept and infiltrator. Adept Asari for the ranged biotics (like having extra guns). Quarian infiltrator male is just fun right now.
