So the first order of business is to obviously get the game and get it installed if you haven't already. Once you have it, do the updates and then shift over into the Multiplayer tab because the first time you do MP, you have it install that for around an hour, give or take. Once that's done, post back here and say you did and then we'll start working out time and dates and stuff.
Weirdly enough, when I went to go retrieve the digital version of Bio2 from the new shitty store layout (trying to find it in my download list would be overly tedious) and then I found that the Ultimate Edition had the “Puchased” bag right next to it.
Then I remembered it was one of those days were I had somewhat of a completion shopping list and I bought that but totally forgot about it. Sweet! Free DLC packs from wasteful spending!! 
EDIT: Ok, I just got this installed in addition to all the DLC so I'm ready to rumble. Oddly enough, I didn't have to do that really long install for the first time you go on to the servers but that's probably because it wasn't my very first time. If that's the case and it somehow remembers installs, Jack and Denzel get to salvage another hour of their time from pointless bullshit. I checked the leaderboards in the “apartment” and I got all of the core stuff done in 15 hours with over 1000 ADAM per game. The time spent is probably a couple hours heavy because I did some regular play before I decided to quickly boost it and I helped out A LOT of people in the group I was in after I was done. I still have my sweet loadout with all the turret tonics and perks to make us go at 100% efficiency, so I'm super hyped!!!
I'd also keep an eye out for this weird, poorly phrased message that popped up when I first got into the MP. It said something among the lines of, “You don't have any DLC installed yet. If you choose to continue, the settings will be modified accordingly.” That freaked me out so I hit “No” and I went back to get Rapture Metro and the message went away. I'm sure it just means you won't be able to play DLC matches without DLC but if you want to be safe, you might want to have Metro installed beforehand…
Personally, I think the perfect game that fits almost all your requirements is Call of Duty Classic. It's by far one of the most brutal games I've ever done, I even had to have Ben do a lot of the Veteran mode because it was so freaking bullshit and he had nothing better to do. It doesn't take forever, but it's super freaking hard like. It's not the rarest because some German weirdo made a confusing video tutorial on how to hack the game with a USB and a lot of people took that way out when their frustration reached the breaking point. Some people find it easy but I like to call these guys “elitists”. So whaddya think? A race to the finish in that? Whoever gets that plat is a freaking boss anyways…
By the way Kristoff, your new picture had me laughing for a good minute.
Stop denying that you love sandals!! Kriggs said:

We just managed to finish off the latest easter egg without much of a problem. Alas the revelation that gr8jrfan is actually the weakest member of the team shook us all to the core. How did this happen, you used to be cool!!!!
These sentences contradict each other. I'm still cool, goddamnit!! It was super satisfying getting to the complete opposite side of the map to watch you die from my room with a view. Let us not forget the many screw ups Jack has done over the years. I've grown accustomed to seeing “I773D33MABL3 has been downed” followed by him groaning and going, “Oohhhh man, they just fcuking swarmed me!”
Been doing pretty good gaming-wise. Scored the High Maintenance easter egg with little resistance thanks to the godly skills of the Irish-American Coalition. Apparently after I decided to arm the Irish with knowledge they got too big for their britches, and somehow got it stuck in their heads that I am the weakest link! Next map pack will definitely be somewhat of a Cold War between me and Jack to prove who has the gusto to not be left behind in the final chapter of Zombies.
Also nabbed the Mass Effect 3 100% so I can permanently forget about the ending disaster now. Considering getting Mass Effect 1 off my gameshare just so I can I have all of the trilogy's trophies. I'm not exactly sure where the moment where I was supposed to be tearjerking was in Citadel because I wasn't even close to getting sad throughout the entire thing. Was I supposed to feel bad for the clone that tried to steal my identitiy and ruin everybody's lives or something? The DLC story was definitely poorly written if that's what I was supposed to feel towards that douchehole. The party was kinda nice and so was spending more time with Miranda (Dat Ass!) but it just put a smile on my face, not make me cry like a bitch like Bioware wanted.
I borrowed my friend's copy of Far Cry 3 to just play through it for good, old-fashioned, trophyless fun. Getting the 100% in-game completion was just that, and helped squash the nagging OCD in my head for that game. I even grabbed all but 1 Loot Chest (Fcuking Hoyt's Compund story locked BS
) Great game, better than Just Cause 2, in my opinion… I'm excited to actually finally play a full retail game with Jack for a change. It usually goes, “Ugh, I'm glad that shit's done with!” after completing FPS mini mode whatever. Even though I'll be absolutely sick to my stomach of DS3, (After getting his plat, I'll have a total of 8 playthroughs
) I don't mind helping especially seeing as I was just about to sell it without a second thought. It'll be a good opportunity to prove my worth to the group, anyways. 
Everybody should get the DLC. If not everybody, then we can fill the room with 3 other people. So I need at least 3 other people to buy the DLC. I can't get the DLC trophies without your guys' help and here's why: The way the DLC maps work is incredibly strange. In order to get onto the map, all 4 people in the lobby must own the DLC. Worse still, there is no seperate playlist for the DLC maps, they're just presented for voting in regular lobbies. On the bright side, the DLC trophies are not hard at all. There are only two that we have to worry about:
1: Territorial (Silver)
Won a non-private match in each of the 6 new maps
2: Reincarnation (Gold)
Use Rebirth to start again!
For Territorial, once we get into a map, all we gotta do is get into an Adam Grab and not grab the Little Sister. Then we'll all have a score of 0 and we all earn 1st place in a tie. Reincarnation requires us to get to level 50, which takes 66,000 ADAM from Rank 40, then hit the “Prestige” or “Reset Everything” button in the MP Menu. Reincarnation will obviously have to be the last trophy that we all earn.
So yeah, DLC's actually not the worst. It'll take a few sessions to get to Level 40, and that'll give you all enough time to save up for the $10 USD for Rapture Metro and snag all the Multiplayer trophies for good. I've already got the platinum so I'd appreciate it if we get the DLC so I can also get something out of this, too. If everything's still saved onto my online profile, I should have the Speedy Hacker tonic to help the boost go more efficiently.
Just call me Big Daddy

I'd help you out, but you better get the DLC. That's where the real fun begins!
The only game that I can think of that hasn't been thrown out there yet was AC Revelations. We could get that stuff done in like 12 hours tops for the core game and the DLC. The boosting method is perfectly set up for a team our size and it's super easy to do. Of course, I could understand if people want to get Brotherhood done first, which I'd pick up a second rate copy to help out in if I'm needed.
Other than that, it looks like we share a lot of priorities for boosting. Bioshock 2 is a pretty fun boost and it's by far one of the easiest and best set up for boosting that I can remember. There are like 3 turrets and six of us. Two go to a turret and take turns smashing it and repairing it. Easy peasy
Red Dead Redemption is a pretty fun online MP game. Getting to level 50 doesn't require any organization and it doesn't take nearly as long as Max Payne 3. It's a pretty nifty 100% to have, too.
Resident Evil 5 Versus is a pretty big priority for me because the Versus trophies are the only ones I need for the game still. I'd be willing to help out everyone get what they need from Versus as well. The 2 player stuff won't be as bad because we can divide and conquer that shit without worrying about organizing a time where we can all play it.
I'm up for GRFS still because that sounds like it's going to be a blast. I'd consider doing Uncharted 3 before I actually go hard into it. Don't want another BIGBOSSxSEB or BigDickBrendo situation again…
I'll toss up Grand Theft Auto 4 and Army of Two: The 40th Day and not expect any “yes”es. Patrick and I need to get that shit done. I also only need the online grinding portion of Mortal Kombat Vita left… It actually goes by pretty quickly if we're doing it right, but it's still dull as all hell.
I borrowed my friend's copy of Far Cry 3 to go for the 100% completion for fun! It's such a freaking awesome game!! Also been going into Zombies with multiple successes in everything non-easter egg related, and dodgy results with High Maintenance. It was pretty clear that we needed to do something different to get the easter egg done more efficiently and I've already tried one variable.
Haven't gotten a chance to play God of War: Ascension properly yet with a deadly combination of homework and Coalition dedication, but I'll hopefully get a chance to play it soon enough. I might just wait for the trophy guide to go up now that I've waited long enough. The Collector's Edition is fcuking sweet!!
You all left me in the dust. The dust that smells like Gearbox ass, fresh after shitting out a game trapped in development hell. I won't forget this. One day, I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!!!
Been kissing my Sly 4 copy and telling her how I missed her so. The game's so well designed that if I wore a hat, I'd tip it to Sanzaro. The only complaint I've had so far is that a few of the minigames are pretty gimicky. It still uses Sixaxis!
The long loads are whatever, I 100%ed Fallout 3… But yeah, excellent level design, boss design, world design, enemy design, fun collectibles, replay value, competent addition to the series, variety, etc. It gets an A+ in my book.Gonna probably grind through more of the technical disaster that is Tedious Payne in the Ass 3 this weekend in addition to the final (YES!) DLC for Mass Effect 3, so I can grab my 100% and forget allll about it. No more penny pinching from Bioware, yay!! $15 for 2-3 hours?! Kiss my ass, you incompetent conclusion writers!!
