Well you could use the Collector Rifle as that one's stats sits nicely between the two.

I like the Collector Rifle. Its not a peashooter like the Avenger but it packs decent damage.

It is rather odd though that the actual Collectors don't use that gun.

Mmmm, Infiltrator in Insanity is... hard. Not impossible, but pretty challenging.

Perhaps I should've used a lvl 60 from ME1 instead of the lvl 50 CrapShep that I used.

Funny thing is, only now do I see the difference between normal barriers and biotic barriers ("OMG Overload doesn't work!").

Oh you can do that now? In ME1, you could only go for the Insanity achievement if you started a new character as there's no option to change difficulty when you start a new game with an existing character.

I think I'm going to switch from Neural Shock to Warp Ammo as my extra skill (Neural Shock makes it easier to snipe enemies, but Maxed out Operative slows time, so is kinda redundant).

That allows you to do the achievement meh? I thought it says Insanity only without changing?

So, play through first on any difficulty, then at the final boss, switch to Insanity so that when you start your new playthrough with the same character, it'll be Insanity?

Genius!

Oh, so you can choose the difficulty when you start a new game with an ME2 character now? Coz in ME1, when you started a 2nd playthrough, it just started immediately without allowing you to change it.

Ah, I didn't have enough incentive to attempt that to see if it worked. Ah well.

EDIT: Wait a minute... is this why you guys say Insanity in ME1 was quite easy? BECAUSE YOU WERE ALL USING LVL 50s?!?!?!?!?

I iz hardkore. I hate cake AND walks!

I brought Legion on Tali's loyalty quest. Aside from a lot of huffing and puffing, nothing much else.

Now when I think about it, I think I should've taken Legion for EVERY quest if possible (Bringing Grunt for Mordin's loyalty quest and vice versa was pretty lame)

Well they looked like 'em...

Thanks guys... I suddenly feel really awesome

My build was basically maxing out both Disruptor/Incinerator ammo (With plus to damage) and taking Team Cryo (While maxing out the Combat Tactics thingy and improving damage)

So, before fighting, equip team Cryo, then switch out between Disruptor and Incinerator ammo as necessary. Its actually pretty fun and effective.

At one point in the game, you can choose 1 of 3 advanced weapons which include a shotgun, machine gun(Assault Rifle and SMG slots) and sniper rifle. I think someone mentioned here that you only get the weapons that your class can use. So, as an infiltrator, you'll probably only have access to the machine gun (Which is just a slightly less pungent pile of piss than a regular SMG) and the really powerful sniper rifle.

I'd go for the rifle.

I'd personally go with Warp Ammo (Which works against everything right?)

The Cloak makes it really easier compared to the Soldier since you can pretty much take your own sweet time to aim. Plus, you get "free" slowmo if you max out your Operative skill.

Also, the soldier lacks options in terms of abilities as the Infiltrator could also burn enemies and mess around with synthetics.

Well that's if you want a universal solution to be able to drop anyone and anything.

But I suppose if you are an Infiltrator, then AP rounds would supplement Disruptor ammo quite well.

Ah, I C... I was not aware of that.

But damn, the Widow is too good to pass up.

There's that comic book as well.

I believe that they did those things for a new character, so that they can establish a lot of things downright and not confuse them:
Killing off the council makes it plainly clear that humans are not liked. Letting them live also leads to that but a lesser degree
Wrex being dead makes sense since new players wouldn't know him anyway
Kaidan/Ashley dying is chosen purely on what gender you are.

Considering the amount of effort they put into emphasizing "Make sure you keep your ME1 save safe!", it wouldn't seem like a no-brainer that ME1 save characters are definitely better than vanilla fresh ones.

After you complete the IFF mission, you'll get the Suicide Mission shortly after. Once you do the Suicide Mission, the game's over.

Note, how you do in the Suicide Mission is largely dependent on your team, loyalties and also the upgrades for your ship.

Grunt != Wrex

The only thing they share in common is that they're both Krogan (And even that is up for debate!)

Wrex was supposed to be this badass Krogan with a quick wit. Grunt is more of the "amnesiac tank bred super soldier". I quite enjoyed when Grunt learns new things from his imprints.

I'd sooner compare Wrex to Zaeed than with Grunt.
