  • Something to give to the table?

  • im stoked about OMNI BLADES for ME3,Just think about what Biotics get! BIOTIC SLASH!(one shot reaper kill)

  • @yawkman0076 best skills EVA

  • everyone played soldier? I thought everyone played vanguard or adept.

  • @Regal4point1 Infiltrator all the way ^_^

    Gotta admit it was more fun in ME2 than ME1 though. Played a soldier too, but that was pretty much it.

  • I play soldier just because it seems closest to canon.

  • All classes have pros and cons

    Soldier (my favorite):  All weapons and adrenilen rush allows you to go all matrix but lack of biotic powers means second you run out of ammo, dead

    Adept: Tons of biotics but lack of weapons makes me not trust it

    Sentinel(2nd fav): Awesome biotic and tech powers but lack of weapons till mission on Collector Ship isn't good

    Vanguard: Best of both worlds, but charge in with no ammo and you're screwed

    Engineer: no comment

    Infil.-Good Class, could be better

  • Sentinel or adept? Help please. 

  • @IAreCrazyChris Sentinel can become VERY destructive if you're good at using it, but an Adept is easier to use effectively. So whatever you prefer: For a challenge pick Sentinel, for an easier run pick Adept.

  • Vanguard wrecked in ME1. biotics was also much more useful in ME 1.

  • @callard2 I don't know about that sir, a biotic having used "Nemesis" based singularity can damage ANY protection type, allows for detonation via Warp or more damage via Warp Ammo and can be ragged dolled by other biotic effects (same effect with Pull). I've owned on Insanity thus far, it's CRAZY fun but less of a challenge than other classed I think.

  • @Gerrit80 see, i suppose i've been using the wrong damage types. im not sure if i used the nemesis based singularity. that would make a lot of difference. thank you for the information. have you fought the sentinel on the collector base yet. that was where i quit on insanity with the biotic.

  • @callard2 No, I only recently realized how awesome the other classes are 4 game play. I rolled through once with a Vanguard, once with a Soldier and once and an Infiltrator. I haven't completed a Biotic play through yet. I don't know what you mean though, with "have you fought the "Sentinel?"" What "Sentinel"? But Nemesis ROCKS my friend, it will effect every protection type.I've tried using "Wide" Singularity but I think actually "Heavy" might work better. Hope that was helpful? Happy 2 help

  • @Gerrit80 the big bug looking boss on the collector ship. the one you fight while you are escaping. the same bug looking thing you fight on horizon.

  • @callard2 Oh yeah The Praetorian! I kept running around the area with the high crates and pot shotting at him when he was slightly above cover, or when he just peeks around a corner. I do that w/ every class, sometimes I'd use Barrier as a Vanguard and run a lil ways 2 the railing on the left as well. Honestly that's the section that I usually find hard w/ not being a shooter "based" class but Barrier can save you a bit there, when your health goes down, use it immediately and then go to cover.

  • I actually liked the soldier class. In fact it's one of my only classes. Because no matter what you do, you have to shoot stuff. Cloak as an infiltrator and you have to shoot stuff once you get to their flank. Charge as a vanguard and you have to unload your shotgun on the rest. Sure other classes can be awesome but it's hard to be both awesome AND practical. As a vanguard I had difficulty with heavies, infiltrators have trouble with commandos, and sentinels just make you feel too damn normal.

  • @AntiTPG I hear what you're saying man, I just find that Soldier get's boring though. Swap ammo types, somewhat fun, but there needs to be another interesting element with powers, other than just Adrenaline Rush.

  • @Gerrit80 Oh, well, that's the drawback. still, normally i get slam or reave, or just take pleasure in shooting stuff. Can't have guns and powers, I suppose.

  • why would people want to play mass effect for the soilder class? if you do that it turns into a third person shooter. all shooting no tactical skill 

  • Engineer kicks ass

  • I play as a soldier on mass effect 1... So fucking borin. Any suggestions? Vanguard or infiltrator or adept are the one i considerin

  • @KnightOfFlight Vanguard and Adept are SUPER fun, Infiltrator I found boring. It could be though that I always "Assassination" sniped and never strategically cloaked but I found it hard and less fun.

  • SENTINEL

  • ADEPT BITCHES

  • Adept for life

  • I love vanguard its just i hate having to wait forever to unlock an assault rifle or sniper

  • @Sargeblub That'll be finished in ME3!! :D

  • @Gerrit80 You're probly right, considering how much they improved game play for ME2, they'll quite likely do the same for ME3. :) Although, I could see that being harder to do for ME3 because they did so well with ME2.

  • ADEPT FOREVER

  • Sorry but you guys dont really know what you're talking about, I dont even know where to start, but I'll say this, In ME1 biotics were gods, if anything they are worse now because you have to break the sheilds first. They were super strong at a high level especially nemesis. They were muc more than "support", especially when you get an added skill which allow for an extra gun if you want.

    Some things about the classes in ME2 are good, however other things are not. Neither is overall Better.

  • lolwat, Adept and Engineer were better in ME1. Looks aren't everything, and not everyone played Soldier.

  • Mass effect... best game i ever played i hope they come up with an idea to continue it after the trilogy is done :D

  • @sentey456 Rumour is going around that awhile back Bioware was recruiting for a multiplayer tech guy to work with them.

    I doubt ME3 will be multi (although co-op would be SO FING AWESOME!) but I can guess we'll get a Mass Effect game with multiplayer.

    At any rate don't count the series out after ME3 =3 it will stay alive forever!

  • @tidus814 what i ment was that i hope they cointinue the story somehow, i dunno like adding a conflict between species with the humans then sheppard has to clear theyr name or whatever ... at any rate i would love to see this game continue after the trilogy of the reapers is finished

  • INFILTRATOR, NIGGAH!!!!!

  • i actually liked the first games class system because you could combine any two classes later on in the game

  • @veldshpay420

    You cant combine classes in ME1, just use a bonus talent. 

  • im an Adept and soldier for insanity mode

    Sential for mad crazy insanity

    vangard easy

    also 3 male 3 girls

    2 good 2 nuetral 2 bad 1 of each sex

    1 of each class

    and different armors styles

    best is my soldier collector body with dragon age helmet varient

    infiltrator is kinda for my sniper person

    ME=good with saren ME2=better with reaper ME3=holy mother of raptorJESUS! with a slice of cheese

  • when i play as my infiltrator i pretend to be han solo and 007 xD

  • WOW, that was the least helpful RAMBLE i heard in a while now

    I already finished the game with 5 different characters (all except for the soldier - i hate the soldier class FYI) so i didn't really need any advice on class choosing, which is good cause none was given here.

  • i only disagree on 1 thing, the soldier isnt the best in ME1, just get yourself an weapon unlock( like shotgun) and use it on the adept, they will KCIK ASS

  • Everyone was playing soldier even though vanguard was the most powerful in ME?

  • we should be able to customize our classes like choose the weapons that we are trained with and all that i think that would be awesome

  • @guitarfreak781229 like you can in oblivion? maybe we will see that in mass effect 3

  • @guitarfreak781229 That would defeat Biowares purpose of making the "Classes". I'll tell you that if could've picked powers for my own Shepard, I would've given him Warp, Overload, Adrenaline Rush, Slam, Inferno Ammo, and Biotic Charge. With the ability to use all guns. That would be absolutely epic, but it just doesn't work that way. Personally, Shepard is a Soldier and with Adrenaline Rush, Disruptor and Inferno ammo, and all the guns, nothing can stand against him.

  • @JesseTheWarrior110 you do make a very valid point and it does make sense i was just stating that it would be awesome if we could im not saying they should but still you do make a very valid statement

  • @JesseTheWarrior110 of course its all about taste, but i still gotta ask - why Slam??

    is it just because that its the ME2 equivalent to a bitchslap, or is there something i'm missing efficiency wise?

  • @eran5005 What I really like about Slam isn't necessarily the damage it does, because it doesn't do that much damage at all. Instead it's the down effect the power has. I swear it seems like it takes enemies longer to get up from than anything else. Shoot while they're down. Not to mention it's cooldown on Shepard is the shortest of anything in the game. With the upgrade Cooldown, you're looking at less than two seconds to use it again. Beautiful against unprotected Husks.

  • @JesseTheWarrior110 yeah i can see how thats useful, and also pretty cool slamin' someone head first to the floor :D

    i still like area pull better - disable for a while, very fast cooldown as well, works better with warp, AoE and gets them out of cover

    one of the best CC abilities ever imo

  • vanguard for sure is the best!

  • Ive tryed every class in Mass Effect and my favs are Infltrator, Vanguard, Soilder, and Sentinel is ok. The Adept and Engineer are kinda bad because they are support and you cant do much like they said

  • @BladedTCL

    Insanity Adepts kicks so much ass. Trust me, they can't get as physical as a Vanguard (For obvious reasons) but there biotics can pretty much decimate anything in your way. Warp+Singularity/Pull Field dominate unprotected enemies.

  • I only got me2 so the first time I played it I picked solder next playthough I might do biotic

  • well, your kinda right, i only took the soldier, couze i never played ME so the soldier was the only class i understood...

  • i loved the first mass effect, (probably my all time favorite) but the second one just wasn't the same for me. I still liked it, but the fact that you couldn't buy new guns at stores. Idk it just didn't feel the same to me.

  • I'm like, addicted to Infiltrator! CLOAK+SNIPER=AWESOME!!!:D

  • I played through Mass Effect 1 and 2, first time with a soldier, second with an infiltrator and i am now trying to complete them with a vanguard.

  • i chose a infiltrator wich i kept through mass effect 1 and 2. although i recently ended up deleting everything related to my account when i was deleting 2 clones of my live account that had been created by recovering my account when the 360 my profile was on didnt have live on so it was useless and confused me when i tried to sign in. so i am having to recreate my character from mass effect 1 to mass effect 2 so i can have a character to play in mass effect 3 and hopefully mass effect 4

  • @murdermaniac018 Mass Effect is a trilogy no ME:4

  • @phionix43 accept they might make a game of the first contact war

  • @2000Trunks If they did that, you wouldn't need to import your Shepard, and it wouldn't matter what you did in ME 1 - 3.

  • @Ecci what shepard did wouldn't matter. just think of halo reach a prequel to explain what happened.

  • @2000Trunks The comment you were replying to was about importing Shepards.

  • @Ecci you wouldnt need to import shepard. mabey play as a soldier or if they wanted to you could play as captain anderson. but that isnt likely

  • @2000Trunks I know. But the comment you replied to was about importing Shepards. Like I said.

  • @Ecci well if your talking about shepards back story then you would import shepard and then what you chose for shepards back story in mass effect 1 or 2 would be chosen,example; shepard is war hero,you fight at the skylian blitz or soul survivor you would fight a maw and lose your squad

  • vangaurd gives u charge of which...U CAN KNOCK THE FUCK OUT PEOPLE! W00T! :D

  • Vanguard all the way

  • Adept is best class no doubt about it.

  • lol in ME1 every class have speech skill and i always played like maxing that out first cuz u can win any battle with low level skills but if u dont have the speech skilll u can miss a lot of stuff or get more money

  • Idk I do have to say that ME1 had more of a get out there and shoot'm rather than strategy, but in this its more of the opposite. ME1 was awesome, but they went to town on improvments on this game.

  • infiltrator- out flank, out smart, and out kill best class ever alongwith kasumi's special the flash grenade you got mass murderer.

  • I was infiltrator in 1 and sentinel in 2 and god knows that armor was usefull

  • Dang, am I the only one who played Engineer in ME1? I just loved having the ability to nerf the ever loving sh!t out of everyone on the battle field and pwning krogans with my pistol. I love the Engineer even more so in ME2 that little combat drone saved my ass more times than I can remember. And who could forget the awesome research bonus! More time playing the game, less time mineral scanning.

  • "we all know everyone picked soldier"

    wtf?I played as an adept and much preffered unloading biotic shitstorms than I did using a soldier and being restricted to guns only

  • ok guys im getting this game soon but rite now im playing me 1 and ive been having relationships with ash and i want to load that file onto mass effect 2 and hav it so i can see the picture of her but if after u beat the game can u load a file where ur not in a relationship with ash and hav a relationship with the girl that is perfect without cheating on anyone becaus if u cheat in me2 something bad will happen in me3

  • Vanguard bitches, soldier is for no brainers.

  • You Go Girl! =D

  • i replayed me 2 many times..trully...soldir class is bd ass class

  • MY FRIEND STARTED ON MY ACCOUNT WHEN HE WAS OVER WHEN I GOT IT NOW I DONT KNOW WHAT CLASS I AM. pretty sure its a soldier or whatever, i got all the cryo shots etc. cant wait second time around. 20hours gameplay down so far :)

  • Sub  4

    Sub

  • in ME1 i was an infiltrator and loved it

    in ME2 i imported my character as a sentinel and it was okay.. but now im on my second playthrough as an adept and im luvin it

  • What are they talking about? Adept was so overpowered in ME1. With your powers running on insignificant cooldown, you could spam lift, throw, warp, and singularity over and over while the enemy had no chance to retaliate, not to mention an infinite barrier and assault rifle for NG+...it's definitely not a "support class" if you could more-or-less solo insanity...

  • Argh i regret getting so far on insane with a soldier :( its so hard at some points i just wish i had some biotic powers or tech

  • I prefer vanguard ^^ Playing bowling with every one with shockwave

  • i loved playing as sentinel... it was all about controlling ur enemy (sabotage, overshield, stasis, lift, throw, cant remember name medicine skill) then having ur allies massacre them.

    Got ME1 and i enjoyed it a lot gonna get ME2 after i get all achievements 4 ME1

  • @Mrpnut08

    Sentinel is WAY better for ME2 it's as Vanguard was for ME1 tho Vanguard just heh for ME2 tho >.>"

  • soldier class on mass effect 1 is boring,makes te gameplay a toned down gears,biotic much better

  • the cutscenes were pretty cool

  • im gonna play thru it once w/ eah class but keep my imported ME1 soldier for ME3

  • To get the most out of mass effect 2, i'm gonna play it 3-4 times with a different class each time and maybe a few new decisions, but i'm gonna keep one specific playthrough saved up for mass effect 3.

  • same here

  • WTF are these guys talking about. Soldier wasnt half as good as the vanguard in mass effect one. You could snipe with shotguns in that game plus you got some biotics. Best class by far as far as damage you can deal out (Fact).

  • I definately agree. "Biotic shotgun sniper" is how I can best sum up the vanguard class. My favorite class from ME1.

  • thane and grunt thts like my garrus wrex team from me1 garrus was awesome wrex was just a imba, this one thane is imba so is grunt

  • those two guys are faggot virgins

  • @freshmangina were you expecting anything else from a channel dedicated to video games?

  • i expected them to not sound like homos

  • 1:41 voice crack? LOLFAIL

  • well at 1st i didnt really know whether i should buy mass effect 2 but after buying it, I declare that Mass Effect 2 OWNS!

  • @gunclan Yes I Agree With you I got it on The 360 And IT IS GREAT!!!!

  • i absolutely hated the first mass effect. but this i wanna get

  • I don't like that they have the preset sheapered in everything. I only want to think of him as the charactor I created

  • i know right, it looks so fun, but im afriad its going to be a bad game and im going to waste another 50

  • dude trust me , its not a waste of money. just look at the reviews if your skeptical. you wont find a bad review anywhere bro

  • lol i got it for free any1 can but 50$ is a small price to pay for ssuch epic game.

  • ok at first i was like "oh well another game" but now im thinking im gonna get it

  • I hope you can add bonus abilities to classes after you master them like ME1. Vanguard + Singularity = Epic Win.

  • It helps if you do not say "ummm" every other word. That's a sure sign of "I don't know wtf I'm talking about"

  • Wtf? Every class is popular among the ME fanbase. Where the hell did he get this "Well we all know everyone picked soldier" bull from? I'm a Vanguard and proud of it!

  • Vanguards FTW.

  • @ultrahero2115 Yes padawan! Live the life of the Vanguard! rofl

  • @ultrahero2115 That badass charge move is too much to pass up!

  • @ultrahero2115 i agree, i'm an infiltrator, and damn proud! i never even played as a soldier, not once.

  • @ultrahero2115

    Yeah man i was infiltrator and then adept and i wouldn't change it for soldier, for only shooting game we already have call of duty)

  • @ultrahero2115

    Ditto. The Soldier was the most boring class in ME1. I played an infiltrator and loved it. Just because all you want to do is shoot things, don't assume others did the same thing.

  • @UnashamedlyHentai "Just because all you" u kinda asumed it for us

  • @UnashamedlyHentai

    Other's where shooting .

    I was ASUMING CONTROL =)

  • @UnashamedlyHentai this series IS called headshot...whaddya expect?

  • @ultrahero2115 they were refering to me 1 .... me 2 everyone is a vanguard...

  • @ultrahero2115 Damn straight. I plowed through the game as an Inflitrator with Lift. Snipe'd! So much fun.

  • @RazelG I use the sniper bonus talent with my vanguard and no scope enemies after I charge them.

  • @ultrahero2115 Oh, I was talking about ME1. Don't own ME2 yet. Soon though. My preeeeccccioussssss.

  • @ultrahero2115 agreed infiltrator ftw

  • @ultrahero2115 also in the first Mass Effect, if you got the achievement for using biotic, tech ect skills, you would get it no matter what class you chose on your next play through.

  • @ultrahero2115 i'm and infiltrator and also proud

  • @ultrahero2115 its cuz if u wanted to try all weapons at once, u pick a soldier, which is what ppl look at first: the weapon possibilitys

  • @ultrahero2115 My personal favorite is Infiltrator, but Vanguard + Slam bonus power + Geth Plasma Shotgun = Most powerful Shepard ever.

  • @Ecci Try a Sentinel. Tech Armor + Geth Shield Boost...makes you almost unstoppable. As long as you never sustain health damage, your Tech Armor will last forever, and all you have to do is re-activate your Geth Shield Boost every 60 seconds. Not a big deal, for tons of shielding. Cause the strongest shielding from Tech Armor is 100% to base...and for Geth Shield Boost, it's 100% to maximum. That's A LOT of shielding. Especially after you have all your upgrades and everything.

  • @Hellbane224 Yeah, but that's mostly defense. With the combo I mentioned, there's barely a chance to need the shielding. A maxed slam with one or two biotic damage upgrades will kill everything in one or two shots, and with upgrades for biotic cooldown and maxed Assault Mastery, it only takes two or three seconds to use again. The GPS will take care of anything else during that two or three second wait. I'm also a charge fan. You can kill everything with guns/squad powers before it gets back up.

  • @Hellbane224 I would have like 2000 shield then

  • @ultrahero2115 Vanguard and Infiltrator Ruled for me in ME1 !

  • @ultrahero2115 i played as a soldier first, and then i tried vanguard, after i said to myself, pitiful, everything i missed as a vanguard xDD

  • It seems like he never even played mass effect 1. like he just watched a review for it and pretended he knew what the game was like. and like hes saying that he only chose the class thats like over simplified for people that dont know how to do anything but push the right trigger.

  • i can understand why some people might hate the 1st game because when i 1st played it i had trouble getting used to the controls and after playing for a few minutes i started thinking that the gameplay was terribly done. of course, i gave it another try the next day and started to like it until i finished the game. then i thought " wow, its been an honor to have played one of the best games of 2009" ...

  • Not once did I play as a soldier in mass effect 1 and I kinda regretted it. So in ME2 my first playthrough will be as a soldier although the other classes look sooooo badassssss!

  • Ive played through ME 5 times each time as a different class and now Im on my final one AKA my 6th class, the sentinel, I love ME so picking one was not going to be a option for me.

  • Hey speak for yourself man, the only class I DIDN'T play was Soldier.

  • I've played through three times, twice with my soldier, once with a Vanguard.

    Still trying to decide my character class in this one.

  • tp im so addicted 2 this game

    111@!@!#

  • Vanguard is the shit, why need a rifle when you get a shotty?

    Also, soldier is the only class i never even tried XD

  • @ZoraZoldier range, thats why

  • Well thats what you have garrus for =P No really, the few times you needed ranged attacks, you just break out the pistol and marksman.

    In Me2, vanguards will even have that awesome lungeattack. Man is that going to be OP ^^

  • i played through 3 times so i could hit all/most of the endings.

  • but there's only 1 ending in ME, so wtf dude have you even played it?

  • Saving and killing the council :/ thats kinda of an ending right?

  • No, you can choose who to put on the console for the galixy. You can sacrifice the humans or the console in the battle aganist the ravenger things. Not to mention, based on how you played, the text at the ending of the game are leagues apart.

    :D i played mass effect. i played it multipul times.

    There are different endings. Many really. close to 6 when you really think about it.

  • it's council and reapers, 1 ending 2 choices at the end regarding the council, and you can convince saren to kill himself for the initial fight using either paragon or renegade choices. so :P

  • I played through the first Mass Effect game thrice, once with a Vanguard and twice with an Adept because Biotics are so fucking fun. I tried a Soldier, but it was so tried and trope and boring it wasn't really any fun. It was like playing GOW but really bad.

    But the ME2 classes aren't even new, they're the same ones as before, just made a bit more distinct and revamped for the new combat system.

  • I seem to be the only person in the entire world that played through the game twice. >.>

    Vanguard and Soldier :3

    Paragon and Renegade :D

  • i have played through it 3 times

  • ive played through over 10 times......(im a nerd..)

  • Vanguard all the way baby.

  • im a infiltrator i like the smgs and snipers i got the xbox achievement so i can use the assault rifle with my infiltrator i hope it transfers to (} ;

  • this guy talks shit ! this fucking douchebag has zero knowledge about this game!

  • And you just have 0 knowledge, all together.

  • Lol 1:36 and 1:40 ,, Voice fail xD

  • Comment removed

  • actually the reason everyone picked the solider class was because it was the default class for the default Shepard,

  • His "..long range.." sounds so terrible at 1:40 xD As for the game, I've never been so excited about a game in my whole life.

  • It is the most anticipated game of the year for a reason.

    ITS BADASS TO THE MAX!!!

  • Umm i wouldnt say most anticipated

  • Wtf is this guy talking about...Vanguard all the way...

  • Soldier will have the mini nuke wep I would guess.
