    It's not that powers curve too early; they follow a parabola. So, if the cover is really thick, their arc will take them into the side of the cover. If it's thin, it won't.

    Concussive shot will fire in a direct straight line regardless of how you aim the reticle. The bonus is that it will destroy breakable objects and you can upgrade it to an aoe to knock down a bunch of people even if you hit a wall infront of them.

    i still find that if you aim diagonally above whoever you want to hit you'll still hit em most of the time regardless of cover size.

    I prefer the Biotic wave attack to Concussion AoE, mostly because knocking them down usually makes them fall under their cover and out of sight, whereas the wave usually knocks em back a bit, enough time for a headshot.

    You know, it's just been bugging me as a semi-casual gamer not up on the terms and having abbreviation confusion, what is AoE?

    Area of Effect?

    Just set the game on Hardcore or higher before the mission and you'll find it. You can switch it back to whatever after you pick it up.

    Has anybody posted this video of Kasumi? Final mission spoilers, apparently Bioware still left code for her in the endgame, which makes sense because that would make it easier to add her in. The model seems to be a stand-in, though.

    My gut reaction while viewing the Vanguard video was "No fucking way is that on Insanity."

    Then he showed that it was on Insanity.

    Still thinking "No fucking way." but damn that's a good Vanguard player.

    And only vanguard players can do that unfortunately - no other class can do that on insanity - even the almighty broken soldier will die in seconds trying to solo a colossus.

    Charge is the only ability in the game to completely skip the enemy spawns since it's basically instant teleport completely negating the enemy spawn triggers.

    You get some renegade points, and he covers you for a while. He lived on all my runs except for Insanity, and he ate it pretty hard. You get some special dialgoue, and Tali makes some extra sad faces.
