will be buying 360 normal version when it's out. kinda want to play it on big screen.

hope my pc dragon armor code will work on 360 version n not as bad as in dragon age coz it look really ugly in da.

ok thanks

will the old save of ME1 any impact on ME2

like.. the time at the ending.. after u beat the game where u save before the confrontation with Saren. you cannot save after this point. how the game know whether u have saved the council or not?

my thread.. down the drain.. www

that cerberus is the code that gain u access to the network for day one dlc. i think it is on every copy of me2.

day one dlc free stuff

a. one of the two new companion character.
b. new weapon/armor
c. new world/mission

edit: hammerhead will be probably be free, but not in day one dlc, just check on gamefaqs, seriously all this dlc thing are really getting on my nerve.. www.

if u import a level 60 character, u will get status report on what u have done on ME. who is killed, status on wrex etc. ur paragon/renegade point.

u will get credit bonus and some bonus to help u out in the game. u still start as default level tho coz ya... becoz of that.

n any consequence u done on ME2 will definitely have something to do with ME3 (or expansion) www.. which is for sure after the ME2 ending. bioware gonna milk the ip.. like printing money machine www.

so far for ng+ there is a 25% bonus on exp.

edit: the codex u collected on ME will be in ME2 as well.

the exp bonus is after u finish ME2.

i let the dev explain to u lol.

Quote: Christina Norman
The major things that will matter in terms of your import playthrough are:

- The choices you made in dialog your last playthrough - this has the biggest impact by far. I can not emphesize this last point enough.
- Your level
- Your achievements, to a limited extent. For example, the rich achivement is a good one to have. You must have finished the game after you acquired the achievement to get the benefit on your imported character.

We didn't want to make it so you'd have to create some kind of maxed out character in ME1 to achieve the most powerful character in ME2, with that said, an imported ME1 character will have small permanent advantages over a brand new ME2 character.

I don't want to over emphesize these advantages though. If you are obsessed with min maxing and want to be as powerful as is possible at the end of ME2, importing a level 60 character from an account with all ME1 achievements is the safest bet.

For most people, just importing any character who made choices you're interested in having carry over is the way to go.

so faster go level up to 60 if u wanna througly enjoy the game i guess, which i'm doing now..

edit: or for pc users u can download people saves with a character of level 60. as for x360 users www.. gotta work the butts out. u really need to know what had happened on ME before u play ME2. go wiki and read.. if u haven't play ME, games will be out in couple days.

For people with Cerberus problem. Had a PC CE copy as a gift from a friend zzz. Had problem with the code, but it is fix now.

How can you tell if you are Cerberus Enabled:
When you start Mass Effect 2, there are two computers on the main menu. The computer on the right hand side of the screen should be open. If it is not then check to see that you've entered your Cerberus Code in the account creation screens located in game.

PC Collector's Edition Issues :
We're aware that some PC Collectors' Edition Cerberus Codes are not working. If you have the number 1688108 on the bottom right of your Cerberus Network card and have not associated it to your EA Online account at 4:00 PM PST your codes will be fully functional. If you already have associated it to your EA Online account at 6:00 PM PST you can restart the game and your Cerberus Account will be available automatically!

Zaeed :
Some of you may be looking for Zaeed as a way to check your Cerberus Account. Zaeed is being propagated to Xbox Live as we speak and will be available mid day tomorrow (MST).

Timeouts:
Some users are reporting timeouts or connection drops to Cerberus Network. We are actively pursuing a fix to this and will update everyone once it is fixed on the server-side.

This post has been edited by juine: Jan 31 2010, 04:27 PM

anyone have done N7: Abandoned Research Station?

accidentally stumble this quest on my new playthru.

for people who beaten the game, major spoiler below.

M-920 is good in insanity. especially dealing with scion. scion.. www -..-

finally finish my insanity run (x360), seriously it was very challenging n satisfying. fun! www after playing insanity

not really recommend to play insanity on the first playthru coz u might turn off the game. I played normal on my first playthru, on second playthru, imported a lvl50 char from ME1 to play on insanity started as level3.

my total playtime for insanity was around 30hour. monster i hate most, husk n scion. got my char lvl30 after the IFF mission, I did all the sidequest, scanned all planet, currently my mineral even enuff to build Normady 3.

on my first playthru, i got everyone survive but on insanity run, tali was killed. too bad, she wasn't so strong in ME2 so it is fine. legion will gladly agree with me. ^^

for Insanity run, few tips here.

all the way start to end, Heavy Warp Ammo as ur bonus skill. health is useless in ME2. put all the skill to Heavy for urself n ur teamates, in insanity all u want is damage.

my starting party, were Jacob n Miranda. I still use them tho recruited everyone. Overload and Pull are too valuables. later game i change my party to Mordin and Grunt, when both of them learned Heavy Incinerate n Heavy Fortication.

places that is very hard for me Horizon. tali loyalty quest were also hard as well, this is mainly tali wasn't so strong, she is kinda very weak character in ME2.

most useful character should be Miranda, if u having trouble with ur quest, bring her. try to up her to Ceberus Leader to get the bonus squad dmg, make good use of her overload n warp.

I kinda like Grunt in later game, he simply like a tank machine after he get Heavy Fortication.

if u having trouble with husk, must bring Grunt n Mordin. i'm not sure any other party can do better than them. they're the best to fight with husk with alot of kiting (kite kill tactic).

if have any question i'm gladly to help or share some tips.

oh ya, best quote in ME2 www "I'm Krogan!!!"-Grunt

-----------

what i'm looking forward in ME3, no more planet scanning!

p/s: on pc version i only manage to finish normal, on x360 i finished normal n insanity. ya... i'm done with ME2, will be continuing my darksider, n patiently waiting for dante and bio2. getting WKC(ps3) today as well. i will probably try to save tali, when i really nothing to play.

i thought he said that when the Heavy Fortification activate. i always giggle when he shout that.
