    Next vanguard run I am taking sniper rifles when the choice comes. Ended up finding the claymore surprisingly meh, not enough destruction to compensate for the one-shot-per-reload. The eviscerater is all the shotgun I need. It has a much cooler name as well.

    it bugs me entirely too much that the eviscerator doesn't go along with the shotgun naming convention

    The Kro-Gun Slaymore is actually the official name.

    The new lightning gun kinda strikes me as a gun out of District 9. Except it's always pointing downwards. You look at the picture and you wonder why they're aiming it down, but then you realize it's just designed that way. Feels a little wonky to look at.

    Yeah it looks more than a little strange. I hope that at some point down the line they release more modular parts for the N7 armor (or complete armor sets that don't feature a helmet).

    one of the images for the lightning gun- looks like new armour. helmetless and everything.

    I bet it's going to look terrible on female characters since that's just what BioWare does.

    Shepard's N7 armor was pretty solid in ME2, quit yer bitchin.

    So the frame rate was absolutely silly for the final boss or was that just my xbox? Think I will install it for my 2nd play through and see if that helps but it was damn slide show for me last night.

    Installed or uninstalled, the frame rate of the final boss has always been fine for me.

    Because they've called it "storming" since ME1. I assume it was because in ME1, it wasn't just sprinting. If you stormed into an enemy, it automatically did a melee attack. But that is baseless conjecture on my part.

    I didn't realize they automatically used a melee attack when you stormed into someone. I used it so sprint from cover to cover.

    Ok, so as feedback from when I first started playing ME2 and was getting annoyed with the controls, here's how my opinion changed. The controls aren't really that big a deal. I got used to the "hit use for cover" thing.

    I still think having one key for Use/Sprint/Cover is silly, but only because we're on PC and there's absolutely no need for it. Besides that, I got around that by having that button bound to both E and Shift and using Shift when I wanted to sprint and E for cover and use.

    I'm pretty sure your character still does. You knock them down and I believe they take damage too.

    In ME1, does holding down Sprint when not in combat (ie, unlike ME2, it doesn't make you storm outside combat) actually make you move faster. It seems like it, but it moves the camera so maybe its just perception.

    Nope, it just changes the camera angle and the controls.

    Yeah it "feels" like you're moving faster but you're not. At least in ME2 they fixed that by not having such large, open areas (like the Citadel).

    I'm having a horrible vision of Shepard being in fat camp as a kid, he/she'll have flashbacks of themselves in scenes from the movie Heavyweights.

    I used to write a little story for every DoW2 thread, which eventually turned into howling banshee/striking scorpion fanfiction.

    Maybe I should write one for every new ME2 thread starting with Tali.

    Nah, not joking. Was just reading all of these terrible Tali fanfictions and decided to see if I could make one that's actually readable and maybe makes an iota of sense.

    Fuck its hard. You have to shut off the voice in the back of your head that says "THIS IS FUCKING RETARDED YOU ARE FUCKING RETARDED" so you don't end up deleting portions that might be good.

    And man I've learned more about the complexities of conception than I ever wanted to.
