    I wonder if adding upgrades to weapons will increase the carrying weight. That would be kind of neat.

    Some weapons actually have mods that decrease their carry weight.

    just remind yourself that it's only a game, an average one at that and that your poor poor hype addled mind needs to take a soothing bath and have a massage.

    get out

    Is there a reason you're swinging your e-peen about Evil? Like, I get the fact you're not hyped over the game. But why exactly would you wade into a thread where most folks are super excited about a game they've been waiting years for and expect a different response?

    oh my god, that would probably work

    Widow and Krogun actually do about the same damage, the difference is range

    SOMEONE GET ME FANART OF SHEPARD BIOTIC CHARGING THE WIDOW UP A BANSHEE'S NOSE

    STAT

    The best part is, with selectable weapons, you can do that in game now.

    Plus you can put a bayonet on the Claymore if you want.

    Am I making the wait easier?
    i'd rather put one on the spike launcher shotgun

    yo dawg i herd you loved spikes so i put a spike on you spike launcher so you can spike while you spike

    Guys, guys. Let's not fight in here! We all have a common goal here: preaching the joys of Vanguarding and shaking our heads at the Bioware forums.

    Let's not let petty differences get in the way of the big picture.

    Before this thread becomes all ME3 all the time, I'd like to note how silly it is that there are three merc groups in the galaxy and you're always fighting them in ME2. I know why they're doing it (to let you choose your party appropriately*), but it kinda hits suspension of disbelief that they never attack you in revenge or even seem to acknowledge your consistent, repeated sabotage of their expensive-looking bases and plans.
    For those who don't pay attention to the loading screen info, Blood Pack have regen health, Blue Suns shields, Eclipse barriers. So basically their names are color coded to your health bars for convenience. Also I've yet to complete the game so if the final boss is a merc dude, that sounds less stupid than the ending I keep hearing about.

    Well yeah, mercenaries are evil unless they're protagonists. This is what Hollywood teaches.

    And to be fair, how do you hunt a rogue stealth frigate?

    It plays very differently from other classes because you're encouraged to play SUPER aggressively, zipping around the battlefield like a jet fighter, smashing people in the face before blowing their heads off with flaming shotgun rounds.

    Other classes you need to take cover, Vanguards' supersonic, foe tossing attack power *is* their recovery power.

    As such, players who subscribe to the cult of the Vangods enjoy projecting the mystique of the pilots from Top Gun, complete with Kenny Loggins and oneliners about kicking tires and the need for speed.

    Well, the separate cells seem to be pretty loosely aligned. Korlus and Omega Blue Suns probably both give a percentage to Vido, but they're doing completely separate operations and don't care about each other.

    Soldier do things like this, Vanguards do them like THIS

    Basically, all the situations where you'd duck behind cover and take a breather as a Soldier? As a Vanguard, you don't do that. Instead, you hurl yourself around the battlefield with your shotgun like a pinball of murder, your health continuously in the flashing red and always being one missed opportunity away from death. You die a lot on higher difficulties, but every battle you win is a goddamn celebration of your badassery.

    Soldier is Marcus Fenix, Vanguard is the guy from Vanquish.

    Fuck yeah.

    If you're not continually about to die then you're not playing the class right.

    ok guys so this thing http://apps.facebook.com/xboxmasseffect/uk

    you have three chances every two hours to guess a sequence with 4 nodes for a chance to win early demo access

    I tried bottom left - bottom right - top left - top right and top right - bottom left - top left - bottom right with no luck

    and bsn lists these as wrong

    Bottom Right, Top left, Bottom Left, Top right

    Top Right, Bottom left, Top Left, Bottom right

    Top Left, Bottom Left, Top Right, Bottom Right

    Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right

    Bottom Right, Top Right, Top Left, Bottom Left

    Top left, bottom right, top right, bottom left

  • chiasaur11chiasaur11 Never doubt a raccoon. Do you think it's trademarked?Registered User regular
    Okay, if it's only one universal correct sequence every 2 hours, there's 256 possibilities.

    Not bad for a large group, but for individuals, it is not good odds.

    but you've gotta agree that finishing the rho waves as insanity vanguard is amazingly satisfying. much more of a relief for you since it's your first time, but for me, coming back to that after a whole fresh playthrough and just dominating was pretty much the best validation ever.

    I used to be such a MKB zealot, but I'm bummed that ME2 doesn't have native 360 pad support. Game just kinda feels unnatural with MKB. And it would be nice to kick back and chill with a pad. And I guess it would also give me different kinds of repetitive strain injuries than I get from sitting at a computer at work. Oh well.

    the one-shot claymore kill for pyros helped a lot

    the elites and engineers aren't nearly as problematic

    I also figured out how to draw the fight into the fringes of the room where the cover is a lot better and the larger number of paths breaks up enemy groups

    also learned that cover doesn't need to be perfect: just needs to fend off enough gunfire to let you live through the charge cooldown

    it's amazing how many more places there are to bunker down if you don't care that one guy is shooting you
