  • all the engineers are BADASS....isaac clarke for example...

  • GOTTA MOVE THAT GEAR UP

  • @snowninja7842

    YEEEEPEKE A HE-EEEP YOOO Kaioooh.

  • Coincidence that they played Tali's theme, who is also an Engineer? I think not.

  • "Look buddy, I'm Commander Shepard and I solve problems. Not problems like what is beauty because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems. For instance, how am I gonna stop some big mean mother Reapers from destroying civilization as we know it? The answer is a drone...and if that don't work...use more drone. Like this heavy caliber tripod little old number designed by me...built by me...and you best hope...not coming at YOU!

  • My Mass Effect 2 is broken...it says critical mission failure the second gameplay starts. Gameplay is utterly impossible.

  • in mass effect 3 its gonna be the best class...

    it will have the abilty to deploy sentry guns:D

    but in mass effect 2 the enginer is almost useless,since thier are almost no syenctic enemys,only smelly organics^^

  • Comment removed

  • this class is cool, but i think its useless in suicide mission.

  • @1973svp ... What?

  • @1973svp bullshit xD

    

  • @ZombieNOODLE64 yeah sorry I overlooked my opinion and i was soooo wrooong ! I played as engineer and i was shocked... Why the hell i didn't play as engineer before ?!

  • @1973svp i had the exact same :'D xD being an engi rocks. im an Engi with a sniper and +ammo pretty fucking nice when you use your Combat drone to distract m while aiming a shot.

  • Engineer Squad FTW

    Legion + Tali + Me as Engineer = a squad of 4 or 4.5!!!

    :O

  • @arungovi Yeah, there's not many synthetics

  • @arungovi Engineers are not supposed to tank. There are not heavy defenders. Engineers are great for offense but, are not meant to have a lot of aggro on them.

  • when you play mass effect 2... you'll wanna *play every goddamn class cos if you know how to play each one, they're all freaking amazing in their own way.*

    that will be all.

  • @arungovi Weakest? Drone can CC any enemy in the game, and at level four it stunlocks the enemies aswell. Shotgun engineer is my favorite way to play ME2 on insanity (although all classes are good.)

  • lightning, fire, ice, charm, and summon... sounds like a wizard to me...

  • Christina norman? that is a woman? sounds like a nerdy young guy :C

  • I like the Engineer, he deploys drones and doesn't afraid of anything.

  • Spy sappin mah sentry 

  • im gonna use the engineer and hack a reaper

  • Comment removed

  • @TheBurningTire I agree with you 100%,if the engineer had tech armor it would be the only I play as.

  • i dont see y engineers cant use tech armour.. i demand u can use tech armour in ME3 if ur an engineer!! (thumbs)

  • ENGINEER IS SPY! wait wrong game

  • play as a engineer and bring tail and legion. 3 drones kiking ass at one time lol

  • Most ppl who say their class hirachy is hasn't played 2 of the classes on the bottom I played as all class fully completed the game to so don't be noob and always only play 2 classes and thin that's the best I think all are fun but I leastly like engineer I don't hate it

  • The Engineer seems pretty pointless against the Collectors.

  • @healnz Unless you consider the fact that the drone fully distracts Scions, and can be called in every three seconds. If you're talking about the collectors themselves, Harbinger is still subject to drone spam, as is any other Collector. Just because an Engineer doesn't have a kill-switch for barriers doesn't mean those barriers are worth anything if the enemy isn't shooting at you.

  • @MyChemicalBromance Really? I hate scions with a vengeance- my infiltrator always takes a while to whittle them down, and I get rushed by husks in the meantime. Will consider engineer later then. Thanks for the info!

  • New ME3 details tell us that Engineers can now build turrets! YAY!!! ME2's Engineer was a joke. Fine, the combat drone was the most invaluable ability but the engineer's other 'SPECIAL' ability, AI hacking, was rarely used. Other than the fact that the hotkeys were limited, the majority of enemies were Organics: Mercs and collectors.

  • @Hippohateszealots hopefully the turret thing is true, engineer needs a little upgrading, the ME2 engineer is ok, i liked it because i could easily take down shields and armour for al lthe bosses and tough enemies and then its easy to finish them off once they are on just their health bar.

  • @TomBcfc89 @healnz Don't underestimate the utility of the bonus power. Once you start unlocking squadmate loyalties, all characters created after that will have access to a bonus power of their choice from among a list depending on which squadmates you've made loyal before. I use Reave on my engineer, but Warp can be a good alternative. Alternately, bring a squadmate who can take down barriers for you, then go to town with your abilities. That's why they're there.

  • Just imagine Sheppard dancing at the cry of "Yippee ki yaa he yay kyaaah kayo!"

  • engineer on u bastards

  • Spy hackin mah combat drone!

  • Listen buddy, I'm a commander shepard; that means I solve problems.

  • Anyone else thinking about how dangerous it would be if this was reality? lol

    The Engineer looks like he kicks more ass than the others, i've never played this game though..so i have no idea how it works.

  • @GravDiga Sentinel is the best class, this is good too.

  • My Mass Effect Hierarchy goes like this:

    Sentinel

    Vanguard

    Infiltrator

    Engineer

    Soldier

    Adept

  • @XxLasTxReBeLlioNxX lol noob. adept at the bottom

  • @joeratti Soldier is also at the bottom, meaning he likes to use more than one way of fighting.. why is that noobish?

  • @XxLasTxReBeLlioNxX Mine:

    Adept

    Soldier

    Engineer

    Sentinal

    Infiltrator

    Vanguard

  • Im Commander Shepard and i solve practical problems.

  • @Chester1004 Not problems like, "What is love?", because I'm too busy shopping at my favorite store on the Citadel.

  • Engineer is my favourite class to play.

  • @superbig360 Wrong, there is also Sentinal.

  • when u take control of the geth, do u control it forever or only for a certain duration depending on that skill level?

  • @Spec0pleader Not forever. Lengthened each upgrade.

  • @Iteachu2beninja oh ok

  • AI hacking, Drone, bonus power: Dominate. Easiest insanity playthrough ever.

  • I'm playing engineer. 

  • Spah sappin' mah sentry.

  • how long does a hack last?

  • @MasterChieeff

    It depends on skill level, bonus from passive/upgrades and the size of the enemy.

  • need a dispenser here!

  • @Alieneater1239 lol. love tf2

  • Tali: Need a dispenser here!

    Shepard: Alrighty then!

    Drell: Need a dispenser here!

    Shepard: Heck yea!

    Grunt: But the priiiize

    Shepard: That krogan is a spy!

    Grunt: Ooh please

  • LISA ITS UR BIRTHDAY!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY LISA!!!

  • engineer ftw!

  • lol engineer is such a shit choice on insane

    infiltrator or soldier is the way to go

  • @Cypherfall Funny I've played every class (except vanguard) on insanity and haven't had any problems. Seriously, Incinerate, cryo, drone & ai hacking (and even better if you choose dominate as your special power), I don't see how you can have problems in any fight.

  • this lady sounds like sheperd in the citadel shopsm, "I'm commander sheperd and this is my favorite store on the citadel"

    *walks into another store, "I'm commander sheperd and this is my favorite store on the citadel"

  • @solodarkwolf haha, true!

  • Whats the best shield in the game?

  • HEY GOOD JOB THERE HARD HAT

  • engineer is a fun chr to play since its hard to actually master it

  • biotic powers are better

  • @bthang1 Most biotics are flat out useless on insanity.

  • Agreed. The only power that I found useful was Warp, and that's about it.

  • @foxtrot45

    What?

    You obviously don't know shit about how the power system works and you play on Casual/Normal.

  • @Mashermat Yeah right. I've gone through insanity with every build and class.

  • @mushroomscout89

    Bullshit, all Biotics are deadly to Collectors, ALL Biotics deal significant damage to Barriers, just as ALL tech powers deal damage to sheilds and ALL powers deal damage to armor.

  • engineer is credit to team!

  • @Puggwarrior WOOHOO A FELLOW TEAM FORTRESSERER

  • @Puggwarrior execpt its the most useless class in the game as well over 80% of the enemy's are not machines

  • Need a dispenser here!

  • I'm an engineer, that means I solve problems (TF2 reference)

  • yep you solve practical problems.

  • Like this combat drone here:

    Designed by me.

    Built by me.

    And you best hope, not pointed at you.

  • @GangstaJohnnyB just epic

  • @GangstaJohnnyB Too much Team Fortress 2 buddy ^^

  • @RadzioTheGreat

    Nope.avi

  • @GangstaJohnnyB LOL i get it...:$

    

  • @ZombieMonkey7

    Need a dispenser here!

  • ...then why did u get the game

  • @EBUG888 my troll sense is tingling....

  • The combat drone is kinda lame....

  • u know what is lame?

    infiltrator's cloak

    i mean whats the point?

    yeah and im lame

  • Na man its actually really helpful. More than i thought. My friend became an infiltrator and it was pretty sick flanking enemies while invisible and sniping while invisible.

  • yeah i heard that u can slow time when aiming with the sniper rifle

    but seriously a 4 seconds cloak and hand-me-down tech powers

    its a turn down for me

    at least they could include both cryo and incinerate, but nooo....

  • I dunno look into it cuz, sure its 5 seconds at first, but after you upgrade it, it extends to a max of 8 seconds AND you get a damage bonus of up to 75% and the recharge time is only 6 seconds.

  • Cloak so you can flank people. Flanking is always good, because you can snipe without getting hit, or just SMG them to death. It also allows you to run away when things go bad and get behind cover in case you get flanked or something didn't go well. It's an extremely useful power.

  • sure it can be useful, but is it fun?

    every other character has something badass that really glorified the character

    but what the fuck with the cloak? and hand-me-down engineer's powers

    theres like 3 additional power for the infiltrator, and none of those really goes together, and it takes FOREVER to gather enough element zero to learn another one, and u can only earn one

    the slow-time sniping is cool, but overally the infiltrator sucks

  • So obvious you haven't played this game that much. Infiltrator is the second best class behind Soldier. This is proven in Insanity. Cloak allows you to line up for a perfect headshot with your sniper rifle (which you 1 shot Harbringer and 2 shot Scions on Insanity). Cloak DEFINES Infiltrator. Read the name of the class, INFILTRATOR. They are meant to infiltrate and assassinate. AI Hacking is great for distraction, and Incinerate rape armor. Every class wants Sniper rifle as bonus weapon.

  • improved geth sheild+asasination cloak +widow and miranda speced for team leader 1 shot one kill insanity mode. cloak allows you to reposition when your being flanked or flank enemies for easy kills the tools that infiltrators get are prefect for their job my only gripe is with ai hacking which is not so useful as your mostly facing organic's.

  • @bogart99 what exactly does the geth shield do cause i dont use it

  • Improved Geth Shield Boost Duration: 60.00 seconds Shield Strength: +75.00% of maximum shields

    Weapon Damage: +10.00%

    you can prity much constantly have it running all the time.

  • the sentinal is the most flexible class (and the solder) but this one looks awsome

  • soldier*

  • I'm looking forward to being an engineer with Tali on my team. Two drones and two AI hacks? What's that? SEVEN(!) squad members? Bwahahaha although against organics I'll have to settle for a mere five...

  • lol.....i never though about it like that, that's awesome

  • @mcflooble *SPOILERS*

    Ten squadmates, 11 if you count a released DLC characterr, 12 if you count a character you replace another with in the story if you want, 13 if you count the unknown 'Kasumi' as a likely later-on DLC character.

    So 10 max normally, 12 if counting DLC.

    The best team tech team would be Engineer, Tali, and either Legion(a geth!!, like a 'Tali-Soldier' in battle) or Mordin (like a more versitile Tali).

  • all the classes look so badass i cant decide which one to be when i get the game :S

  • Same here... guess that means, I'm gonna have to play through it six times ^^

    I already made 4 ½ in ME1, so it might actually work out :D

  • Definitely being The Engineer. Looks like u can just dominate the battlefield. But i wanna unlock a better gun for it first,so i might start out with the soilder.

  • i don't think you unlock weapons the same way you did in the first game, apparently you can research them on the normandy

  • Ohh thanks man,that would be a lot better. I hated that in the first one..you are the most bad ass soilder around but u couldnt aim down the sights with some guns? That was my biggest complaint so the research thing would be sickk.

  • Engineer is Credit to TEAM!

  • going to be tough to decide which class to use, and wheater or not i can be bothered to try another class when i finish it the first time around.

  • im pretty sure there is an ammo aspect, just not called ammo. Instead when a weapon overheats you need to replace the heat sink with another one, and that acts as the "ammo" of the game I believe

  • Damn combat looks so much better.

  • You have ammo this time?! That is bullshit man! I thought the original scheme of the guns in the first one was awesome! Metal slugs pushed along magnetic strip at extremely high speeds down the barrel was a great, original, and very innovative design for weapons. And now they go and fuck all that up!

  • You would think atleast the handgun would have no required ammo, or perhaps he was using custom bullets that have ammo counters.

  • @Airsoftsniperkid I read that its not ammo, but a new overheating system. where its like a heat sink and you eject a full one and put in a new one. and each sink can hold the heat of X number of rounds. basically they wanted a "reload" system but wanted to keep the established gun systems.

  • aw crap i didnt notice that till u said it damn it was a great idea

  • @Airsoftsniperkid

    Not ammo in the sense if you run out your weapon can't fire. Instead you get cooling clips that prevents overheating.

  • Dude, there is no ammo still. The reloading is just an animation for cooling a weapon down instead of waiting.

  • You do have ammo,but i believe its still unlimited. Instead of the gun overheating though,you just replace it with a new clip. The only guns that have limited ammo are the heavy weapons. Thats what i heard.

  • Is this game much different than KOTOR? I tried playing KOTOR lately, and got bored very quickly. I hope this is very different, cause it seems amazing.

  • You can pick up Mass Effect for about £10, it's worth picking up IMO and it'll give you the best look at what this one will be like.

  • yea way different instead of picking the action for the character to perform you control the character entirely its just like a reg shooter game. leveling up is easy to

  • duuuuude. so far im leaning towards this one!!! engineER = WIN

  • @Cartman1311

    nope she's called Miranda Lawson a new squad member...but i dunno if Ashley or Kaidan will appear in ME2

  • -spoiler alert-

    1 of them will depending on who you saved on virmire. they arent recruitable party members though.  -spoiler alert-

  • yeah will be intresting to see what they've done with the soldier, i mean all the other classes look great but im not sure what they can do with a soldier

  • probably more weapon classes available like rocket launchers, sub machine guns, and more

  • I wish I could see this on my iPod. Since I'm at school... Damn you adobe!

  • I'm glad that they're giving all classes different traits, such as the combat drone for engineer, cloak for infiltrator, etc. I wonder if we can get a flamethrower weapon like that geth destroyer had at 0:22?

  • with 19 different weapon classes i wouldn't be surprised

  • gosh after all the gameplay i've watched it seems like there's going to be like 50 new guns

  • 15. There are 19 weapons in the game, and we know the 4 from the original return.

  • ENGINEER ALL THE WAY!!!!!

  • what should i play as

  • Damnit I wanna see the one for the soldier already - mowing enemies down with the assault rifle is more my style.

  • @AtrophyOffline

    It's up somewhere. Soldier gets adrenaline boost where they can slow everything down around them and pull off headshots.

  • @AtrophyOffline

    I like the infiltrator with something like the Avalanche. Make the enemy hold still and I just mow them down with my Viper. heh heh, sit there and take it grunt-monkeys!

  • ahhaha

  • cant wait i just yep thats cum in my pants!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • no unlimited ammo :( ??

  • @farmgirlnicole why unlimited, what part of rpg you don't understand

  • No trailer for infiltrator, soldier, or vanguard yet?

  • is it on youtube go find it

  • @crazybiscut There is no trailer yet for soldier, vanguard, or infiltrator. Type it in and you won't get any results.

  • you have any idea if there will be one for Soldier? That's my fav class. And there is one for Infiltrator.

  • @Joey6029 I dunno, there might be. But so far I haven't found one yet, but there probably will be. Soldier was my favorite class from ME1 too but all the classes are starting to look really cool.

  • Yea, same here. Who needs all these fancy powers when one has a gun? lol.

  • @Joey6029 lol biotic idiotic OMG ^^

  • @kevinrocks2323 there is for infiltrator

  • @rarezas1959 Yeah I found it but it was uploaded after my comment was posted.

  • @kevinrocks2323

    there is for infiltrator, go on mass effect 2 site.

  • no god dammit thats what I loved about this game no reloads just overheating wtf bioware this isn't Gears of War

  • i think they changed it because the overheating had bug problems cause that shit allways happens to me, and i have to load again to make the bug go away

  • meee too i had to keep the weapons NOT to overheat cuz it would ahve fuked my game :D

  • well i made it worse with the tendency to use the shotgun, 3 shots and u overheat ,3 shots when pressing rapidly then the overheat wont go down anoys me when ur in the heat off battle...

  • yeah ut it didnt always BUG the game for me sometimes it worked but sometimes it didnt and LOADING the game again didnt help i had to restart the whole computer ( DUNNO WHY) or i had to load the game at an earlier time wich sucked cuz id lose ALOT

  • ah you don't have unlimited ammo like in the first game=_(

  • I loved the engineer class in ME 1!The Engineer class in ME 2 just got better.

  • The narrator has a major canadian accent.

  • looking for a man that would give me some experience.

  • I didn't create an Engineer, but I did use Tali on nearly all of my away missions for her AI Hacking skills

  • Is it just me or does the engineer look a lot more powerful than it did in the first game?

  • yes i think u right. engineers look good than the first one.
