    I did that quite often - drop to crouch, wait a second for the crosshairs to center, fire.

    Not a strategy that works on higher difficulties, mind you.

    I activated mine on the me2 page, and it acceptd..but it when I load the game I don't have access and it demands the code, which it won't accept because i entered it on the ME2 site.

    Did the account you used to enter it on the ME2 site have the same e-mail address as your XBox Live account?

    its nice, but in the time spent cloaking, reengaging, faffing about like a ninny you could have equaled the damage you just did by using sustained fire.

    The best solution to everything in this game is sustained rapid fire.

    There's a big problem with the Cerberus codes. Which fucking sucks.

    If you stood still it would get smaller. If you crouched, it got smaller still.

    Maxed out Sniper Rifle skill, etc, etc and you can take multiple no-scope shots at charging enemies before they get to you.

    I honestly don't know why they took it out. It's not like there's too many controls mapped to the gamepad. Clicking down on the left or right analog sticks just shows you a map display, or an objective pointer. If they mapped crouch to the left stick, they still could've had the map/objective mapped to the right stick.

    I really like playing a soldier. The big guns are fun, and sniper rifles are way better than they were in ME1. Being able to fight at every range makes a great difference since assault rifles are no longer totally OP. Big difference that I have to get used to - letting my teammates finish off more enemies, so that I don't constantly run out of ammo because damn they do not let you carry many clips in this game.

    As far as I know you can start a bunch of newgames off one old save

    Yea. But you can't crouch when you're behind high cover, or if you're away from cover.
