People say play as an infiltrator.

Hmm I think I did insanity as an infiltrator as well.

And the massive geth sniper rifle is devastating and a life saver on insanity.

FUcks sake, I play as Soldier. Just played as Infiltrator before.

Most of the time, I get along just fine, but often enough I hit a point where I almost rage into suicide.

Collectors are fine, but Scions fuck me up.
YMIR Mechs assrape me, cause they pop up in places with little or shit cover. And I´m forced to move around way too often, either because I got flanked or because I ran outta clips

I use flashbang as a special skill, gotta try Reave instead.

It often just feels like dumb luck bringing me through the hard fights (or getting me killed).

I´m still building my team, but I´m already in fear of aquiring the Reaper IFF :3

Yeah soldier really is a bad choice for Insane mode...

You need some tech/biotics to stun/disable/hurt

I allways play soldier for my first playthrough, lets me try all the weapons

It was the character I used to first play through the game. I thought it would be fair to make it the first character I made a second playthrough with.

I take Mordin with me and Kasumi, to cancel the lack of Tech abilities.

Tali + Samara/Jack tbh

Also: Creating your first character as soldier, enables you to be biotic with assault rifle in your second playthrough... which is so fucking overpowered it hurts

Wait you can get an assault rifle skill?

When you complete a playthrough with a class you can choose that class' special skill for your bonus skill with the next character...

e.g. I believe Biotic unlocks Push, Infiltrator unlocks sniper rifle and so on.

See this chart for which skills are unlockable and which are not and how and so on:

while other classes may choose to specialise in assault rifles later during the game

EDIT: I got a few things mixed up, it may only be in ME1 you can chose to specialize when you create your second character, but you can specialize in weapons in ME2, can't remember how though...

Also: Warp ammo is so fucking sweet it makes the reapers cry babies.. It does bonus damage to Barriers, Armor, Health. So if you use it with a weapon that is powerfull vs shields / bring along a squadmate with tech abilities, nothing can stop you.. and if you use it as biotic it does double damage when enemies are affected by biotic powers such as lift...

Lair of the Shadow Broker trailer.

[video]http://www.gametrailers.com/video/dlc-debut-mass-effect/703866[/video]

Already put a mark in my calender. I´m definately geting this!

Holy crap, you get to fly a shuttle?

I got Overlord last night. Done about half of it I think. About to carry on with it.

I might get this along with a few of the other DLC packs

Overlord+Shadow broker... what else?

I got the Firepower & Aegis pack. Gets you a powerful armor and some nice, slightly overpowered weapons.

Kasumi is still worth it imo, despite being shorter than Overlord.

How do you like it?

So if it's story I want I should get all 3 "major" DLC ?

Are the weapon DLC cheap ?

It was alright. The driving section was nicer than the free Firewalker missions, and the levels were alright. Decent enough.

Yeah, driving was definately much better. I really likes the storyline too, something different. Leaned towards the latest book a bit.

@Floppy: The weapons & armor DLC is 160 points each, so rather cheap compared to the story dlc. I deemed it worth it, the sniper rifle I seldom use, but the AR and especially the shotgun are well worth it. The standard shotguns are total shite.
The Mattock AR is a semi-automatic with sniper rifle accuracy, the pistol comes with a nice laser pointer when zooming in.



Video is a bit dark, but gives you an idea of how the weapons perform.

Also:

Screenshots galore!

I don't think there are any big spoilers in these, but don't start whining if you click them and think so! (tl;dr spoiler warning)

I SEE THE CODE



I actually ran it over, didn't shoot it


Spoiler (highlight to read):
The geth ship was creepy... before they all wake up





The tank VI is witty







Hanars, srs bsns














On another note, I love the way Kasumi says "haha" allmost like Nelson from simpsons when she kills people

Oh and: Arc Projector = Best superweapon, agree?!
