I do hate the recoil though. I have accuracy upgrades and it's still killing me. Most of the time I'm sniping. Yeah, I don't trust AIs with a sniper rifle even if it's Garrus or Thane A sniping soldier is fun. When the going gets tough, the shotgun is handy. I can't wait for the first Collector mission, I want the Widow rifle!

I use the AR + Commando build. Mostly I use sniper rifle with assault rifle. Shotgun is handy for varren and enemies that manage to flank us. Or Harbinger who loves to hop over cover.

It does? No wonder when I snipe without activating Adrenaline Rush, enemies don't die in one shot

Garrus? Tanking? I mean he dies less than in ME1 but Grunt is a better choice.

Soldier = use guns to kill your enemies. That's about all you use.

I don't play anything other than Soldier, but I believe that other classes don't get a choice of weapon but a choice of weapons training to use other weapons.

So Infil will get a choice of Widow Anti-Materiel Rifle, assault rifle training or shotgun training while Soldiers get Widow Anti-Materiel Rifle, Revenant Machine Gun or Claymore Heavy Shotgun.

Am I right here?

Tempest isn't a special weapon mah. Everyone picks it up at Haestrom.

Thanks for the heads up.

CE is for real fans I guess. It has nothing a normal player would want except an armor and weapon set that is a hit or miss thing in the preference department. I have not even touched them. For me I like the Steelbook case (mine is chipped at the top ) and the other physical goodies it has. I believe the making-of dvd isn't as good as the one from ME1 though.

Absolutely. I'm using an XFX one temporarily to play Dragon Age and ME2. DA I'm using High while ME2 I'm using max.

Added on February 23, 2010, 7:30 pmI updated my weapons list with the weapon designation and locations (in spoilers). I'm not sure if the designations are correct since I got them from the wiki. No time to go ingame

Launch trailer one ar?

Heart of Courage by Two Steps from Hell

I bought Revelation and Ascension from Borders in the Curve.

Bring Down the Sky nets you a grand total of a Galactic News excerpt and an email.

Don't waste time and money on Pinnacle Station la.

Cool. So much free stuff. There's still the Port Observation Deck empty, I'm guessing new squaddie (Kasumi) so even more reason to rejoice.

Quick saves bro, quick saves

Eh I can't seriously be the only one who has 100+ ME1 saves and is bothered by the 50 save limit of ME2.

'Shepard-Commander!!'

The look Shepard exchanges with Legion is pure gold. The 'uh oh, we forgot she's a quarian' look.

No.2 is from Mass Effect Ascension. It's a good book and it is referenced in ME2 (Captain Isin'Mal vas Idenna, the scout ship Cyniad, etc.).

Legion does complicate things... but it makes for great dialogue. Shepard trying to get Legion's name and getting all frustrated is golden.

:/ I just realized something. I'm using my mobo's sound but in my game options I have sound processing set to hardware. Should it be software? I'm not really good at sound things.

Me neither. This is going to be a problem.

Any word on how many BioWare points are needed?
