  • I like Vanguards the same reason Mr. Sark would...shotguns. Plus you get pull which is amazing plus shockwave. I played through the missions where there are husks and shockwave is just jezus.

  • Vanguard biotic charge + claymore shotgun = awesome and deadly

  • Vanguards, fuck yeah.

  • Infiltrators FTW >:D

  • I played as a vanguard and I hated it. I don't like getting close up it leaves you extremely vulnerable but I don't discount it being a great class the vanguard powers are amazing but I prefer the Infiltrator/Soldier/Sentinel. I just started an Engineer play thru and I like it but not as much as an infiltrator.

  • um.... if your not a vanguard you aint shit

  • i just watched the top ten most effective mass effect weapons. 'matt' is such a dick. watch it and tell me otherwise.

  • Charge is the best skill ever.....so far.

  • Am i the only one that thinks shockwave is frieking AWESOME!

  • @MrTroxim No I think it is great as well (:

  • Personaly i love playing as Sentinel he is ready for every situation.... overload for shields, warp for bariers and armor... and then there is tech armor because of which you are almost unkillable... its just mine opinion no need for spreading it around... :D anyone can play what they want its theirs bussines.. :D

  • @Dutituti I have a sentinel as well I gave him AP Ammo as a bonus power and made him a Guardian with Power Armor.

  • I rly DONT pick infiltrator when i start a new game... but i just love using the Widow and just liiiine up the shot and BOOM... headshot (then his dead)

  • Infiltrator with the Viper instead of the Widow?! BLASPHEMY!

    Rumor has it that all classes will be able to use all weapons in ME3. The catch being that, for example, the soldier be able to carry like 4 weapons at a time whereas the biotic, for example, would only be able to carry 2.

    I'm on board with that, personally. Infiltrator being able to stealth up to a target and unload with a shotgun sounds fun to me.

  • @SageVallant You are indeed Correct. in ME2 all classes can use any type of gun. I would assume that Soldier get's 4 slots, vanguards and infiltrators get 3 and the sentinel, adept and engy get's 2.

    I would also assume that come classes get weapon bonuses, similar to how borderlands worked (in the fact that Mordicai had a better proficenary increase rate for snipers than the soldier type guy)

  • every class is extremely good if you know how to lvl it. i personaly like the vanguard cuz the battles are very dinamic with him. in the early game playing him is more difficult and dangerous, but if played rignt you can anihilate the enemy. and in the late game he is just unstoppable.

    but every class has his strenght i like them all... ok i almost all, i dont like the infiltrator, cuz of the cloack, and the soldier cuz of his rambo looking style. but they has their good sides too

  • ME1 = Soilder

    ME2 = Vanguard and Infiltrator

    ME3 = God

  • Infiltrator class really rocks if you want to play as stealth and killing enemies 1 bullet at a time tactically , i use Armor Piercing Ammo + Widow Sniper Riffle(upgraded) + Incinirate ability or Cloack when Eliminating Enemies on Insane mode. Just Pick a Squad member with Warp or Overload , use em First to reduce Barrier and Shoot a Head Shot easy.................Draw back you need to time your shots and pick em Carefully 1 mistake and your dead meat , may preferred class in the entire game

  • Engineer was my favorite in ME1 and still is in ME2.

  • I should just roll a 6 sided die, random ftw

  • I would never dream of playing as anything other than a infiltrator, tried playing as a soldier and didn't even met Wilson in the first quest (to generic for my tastes)

  • Vanguard is really the best, why ? well fully upgrade the shotgun, go with the fast firing one, heavy charge, and choose heavy slam: you will totaly rape

  • @FullM3tal7ack3t

    Using the Vanguard: Heavy risk. But the priiiiize!

  • Hmm... I would've thought there'd be more people on here who preffered Vangaurd. Oh well, Vangaurd FTW though...

  • Vangaurds are the funnest to play and in my opinion, more action oriented than Soldier. Seeing as this is an action game, I think they're the best suited for the game's gameplay. Other than that, Soldier is a pretty fun and simple class to play as. They'd be my 2nd pick. Infiltrators would be my third because of the sniper rifle and the invisibility. Sentinals would be my 4th pick because they're the most rounded. Adepts would be my 5th because of all the nifty powers and lastly engineers.

  • Soldier = Pick the Mattock heavy rifle, The Phalanx Pistol, Geth plasma shotgun, The Widows sniper rifle. If you have upgraded every sniper rifle upgrades a clean headshot deal over 1900 damage which is enough to take out at least 2 layers of protection in 1 time and the Mattock can fire faster than a Revenant if you tap the mouse button fast enough. The Phalanx pistol is more accurate than a sniper rifle and the Plasma Shotgun is okay. 1 Thing Adreline Rush Widow Sniper Headshot = Instant death

  • @DBZisthebestanimever

    I like your style.

  • I went for soldier. Basicly i keyed in three powers to hot key, the upgraded adrenaline rush, then disruptor and inferno ammo on the shoulders. Then once i got the revnant machine gun w/ accurecy increase it was a tank and a half. Especially if you took on Grunts fortification power. Basicly a walking Tower shooting out an 80 ammo clip of fire for organics or disruptor for mechs. If there were lots use an adrenaline rush and mow em down. was awesome

  • Sentinels&Vanguards = Tank classes. You can walk through enemies and leave a trail of bodies without even losing a drop of health. These classes can regenerate their shields at will with Charge and Tech armor. For the beginner pick the Sentinel which is surprizing since the Sentinel is the specialized class yet seems to have a lower learning curve than the Vanguard which has to continuely play smart and grab cover while using charge as much as possible. The Sentinel just has keep tech armor up.

  • Soldier&Infiltrator = One Man army classes. You can wipe out entire platoons in seconds. Soldiers are more general and can fight in any spot, Infiltrators are more specialized and have to hide and conserve ammo harder but reap plenty of benefits. For a beginner, pick soldier. After your first playthrough, you should have enough skills for the tricker (not exactly better) Infiltrator.

  • i really enjoyed the intro :D

  • I like the  soldier. Because i ALLWAYS chose tali in my team. Then i mix her ai haking and combat drone.... And pwn the shit ous of enemys!

  • I prefer the sentinel. Good mix of biotic and tech, and the overshield really helped with hardcore.

  • Sentinel: probably the most balanced class in the game

  • Definitely Soldier w/ Adrenaline. Slow-mo headshots are what got me through Hardcore difficulty at times.

  • Adept. Its like being a jedi except you have new aliens to beat up/shoot.

  • vanguards are fucking fun =D

  • Solider: Shoot everything with everything, and go all matrix on em with adr. rush.

    Infiltrator: Keep your distance, use tactical cloak, aim for the fuckin' skull.

    Vanguard: Close the distance, tell em Fuck you, blow their face into oblivion.

    Adept: USE THE FORCE SHEPARD!!!!! Make the battlefield your playground.

    Sentinel: USE THE FORCE! and tech powers.

    Engineer: Take them all out, Bill Gates style.

    Do these things and you will most certainly own this game. :)

  • I went soldier in ME1 but chose adept in ME2 for something different and absolutely loved it

  • That sounds like KassemG.

  • Adept Ftw

  • what are all these people talking about? you can start a new character on insanity (although some classes are MUCH harder than others). i started a vanguard out on insanity and it was fine. i did die ALOT at the beginning but once i got the claymore i raped everything. right now i just started an infiltrator on insanity and its really fun

  • My favourite class is the adept,its always fun to launch a biotic shitstorm

  • @imbadatnames390

    Singularity/Warp FTW

  • soldier/commando infiltrator/agent ftw love the locust fear the widow!

  • I love Adept, Vanguard, Sentinel, Soldier

    But all of them FTW!!! Just I want the skills and their powers to be more availability in ME3 . . . or maybe a long lvl cap . . .

  • Such a great game.

    Classes are made good too.

    I love using the biotic powers which make them fly in the air and then do Shockwave or something.

    To me Mass Effect 2 is one of the best games of 2010, to bad it wasn't that long

  • @xDaveDinosaurx not that long? it was 30h gameplay

  • @drag0nfis7 Mine was like 15 h but i did it no life and almost no side quests though

  • @xDaveDinosaurx oh, but i ment with all sidequests :P also have you completed insanity? if so, with wich class?

  • well in the first game you could sprint like a kenyan

  • Whats up with the HUD?

  • Sadly the Vanguard is like the worst class ingame since they dont survive if they charge in hardcore or insanity. Its just a worthless ability.

  • That's a bunch of bull. You just have to be smart about how you play the class. It requires you to be more careful with your combat tactics.

  • It's still one of the lesser abilities of the classes. Shotguns lack accuracy and vanguards cant get the collector rifle which leaves them with the choice of the collector shotgun (which isnt quite as good as it seems) or the ability to wield a sniper or assault rifle. It still has its uses but on insanity its often more a suicide then a good tactic. The other classes tend to have a easier playthru on higher difficulties due to better abiities to use. Plus it does pretty much no damage at all.

  • @aranhar Thank god Bioware released that Eviserator shotgun that actually packs a decent punch and is usable at medium range. If not for that Vanguard would suck even more on the higher difficulties.

    Sometimes using that ability against just 1 enemy is suicide as you die in 1 second after using it. Do not even think about charging a group of enemies.

  • @AzureDrag0n1 well apparently you dont know that vanguards are awesome on higher difficulties since charge regain your shields

  • @drag0nfis7 Who cares if they recharge your shields when they are destroyed in 1 second? I have played Vanguard on Insanity. You charge somebody and if you do not kill them in a single burst of fire they kill you in about 2 seconds. If you reload you die. Perhaps it works better when you have decent gear and some levels because otherwise you are made of tissue shields or not.

  • @AzureDrag0n1 well no sane man would ever make a new character on insanity, from the beginning to the end you have to be lvl 30 or els, im sorry to say but you'll get fucked

  • @drag0nfis7 eh? alot of ppl start a new charr on insane... wth are u talking about?

  • @vukasinthevule well the smartest thing to do is ofcourse to start with a lvl 30 character

  • @drag0nfis7 takes a huge chunk out of the chalenger

  • agreed. Vanguard may not be the rush and gun class it was in Mass Effect but its still a really good class if you know how to use it.

  • Apparently you've never seen any of sinosleep's Vanguard videos. The only thing he uses is basically charge on Insanity.

  • Spam slam is the best ability in the game.. it even rhymes :P.

  • I went with Infiltrator in the first game. Playing through ME2 as a Vanguard.

    I like the fact that Vanguards are built for close-quarters, but still have a few biotic powers to play around with.

    Next time i'll try full-blown biotics and go with Adept.

  • LOL, everybody is playing as a vanguard in their first playthrough.

  • @stuc2k Try them all man, the bonuses from each playthrough are shocking as you get the insight into each different playstyle and can combine them in the next playthrough :D

  • if u play this game over again do you get your old weapons

  • yes but u can't change ur class

  • only if you import a character that you finished ME2 with. So if you played a playthrough in ME2 with any class, start a new game with that same character by importing it.

  • when i finished it and played it again with the same character i couldnt change my class. MAN i wish i could change classes after every playthrough

  • The guns in the game is relly nice.

  • Comment removed

  • soldier on insanity, sooooooooo fun, don't have to fumble with all the powers, just run in with incindiary ammo upraged all the way up, everyone is dead

  • The only downside is that if you play thru the game as a soldier you wont do it with any other class ;)

  • i hate that they streamlined so much shit. it doesnt feel like mass effect its WAY too easy

  • crank it up to insanity, don't complain, its fun.

  • hah even then its still too easy with the dont kill me button (cover) i like it but still think the 1st one is better

  • Play on insanity... with a Vanguard/adept :)

  • @Darknight670 I just beat the game as an infitrater...hated it (the class) im trying to decide between vangaurd and adept as my new char

  • Just play both at some time. To get the best out of ME2 you have to play it once with most of the classes, but not all of them.

  • infiltrator, soldier,adept > everything else

  • Vanguard is a fun class. Played it on hardcore, you have to fast to maximize charge.

  • charge is useless on insanity

  • THE bomb has been planted!!!!

  • i played as a vanguard and it kinda sucked... the charge power looks cool but all it does is launch you into a group of enemies and it's total crap.

  • Vanguard, by far the best class.

  • I don't know what's with me and the guns but.. Saving the whole freaking galaxy with your pistols and sniper rifles.. That's the thing for me. And I LOVE it <3

    Boom headshot!

  • Spoilers at 2:35. So....

    Yeah.

  • Im a infiltratorrrr ;)

  • ok the vanguard looks awesome but i cant decide which class 2 be the vanguard can only have like pistols and shot guns or something so im not sure 2 be a vanguard =(

  • later in the game you get to pick a weapon specialization. it is during the first collector ship mission and you can pick a claymore shotgun, a sniper thing or an assault rifle.

  • @codster323 o i didnt know that thanks!

  • Vangaurd since the beggining, super slam anyone who disagrees.

  • i use the soldier class just because it slows down the game for me going through menus to use biotic or tech powers, plus i just picked the default Shepard.

  • you got to do Pirate vs Ninja

  • @rockstrips they already have you jerkoff

  • ur sad 2 read tho every comment

  • i use the super hardcore special vanguard ability called incindiarycryogenicbioticadren­ilenoverloaded super slam. it works best on every on. MASS EFFECT 2 FTW

  • Vabguard FTW!!!

  • boring

  • I <3 SENTINEL

  • soldier with adrenaline FTW

  • Totally yeah FTW.

    Adenaline with assaultrifle VS a Heavy Mech.

    That so cool, just pop up before itand make a lot of headshots!

  • @xXxteddy2shoesxXx agre soldier is da best!

  • rockin ze vangaurd cuz when you want to kill guys theres nothing like a bitotic phase kick to the nads :D

  • Iv been rocking the vanguard in ME1 & 2

  • First playthrough was vanguard, done with adept now wich was most fun and awesome, gonna try soldier now for run n gun

  • vanguard is realy fun but for insanity dificult u need to use the adept

  • Just lovely!

  • Going through as vanguard, and I have to say the biotic charge is sooo worth it :D Played as soldier in the first game and practically bored myself to death.

  • I play as a vanguard now,, second will be like Infiltrator or the Adept.

  • I hate the new wep system and i'm having big trouble finding new guns, on my adept i played with the starting gun through the whole first playthrough

  • Thats your fault then... I had no problem finding all pistols and sub machine guns

  • The problem with soldier class is If I play as it I probably wont want to play as any other class,

  • First I played infiltrator, then soldier, then adept and now I'm playing vanguard^^

  • lol i was playing soldier in 1st then vanguard lol :D

  • Played as Infiltrator the first time and Sentinel the second, Sentinel was more enjoyable imo. Gotta love the extra defense.

  • played as a sentinal even got warp ammo basicly over sheilded freak that can shoot threw anyhing after i unlocked shotgun

  • you're hands are so smoth like a lesbian

  • I played as an Infiltrator, because I was one in the first game, but actually, it's sucks pretty much against anything except synthetic enemies.

  • which class should i be its a really hard decision plz reply tell me a reason why i should be that class and the extras about the class ty

  • @djdilstar I chose Vanguard because I had the ability to learn weapondry as well as biotics (Including Warp ammo, charge, slam, barrier etc) you can choose w/e you want. But its you choice overall. Btw, I chose Tali the first time.....*SPOILER* Soooo dissapointed you didn't get to see her face

  • vanguard is sick and it tells u why in this video

  • i play as an adept and its awesome ^^ you cann pull everyone up in the air and your teammates do the rest for you .but ithe infiltrator looks nice too

  • Im not saying its the best class but the engineer is very fun to use

  • I hate the soldier, at least in mass effect 1. Went up and beat Feros, got tired of it and quit. Came back a year later, retried as a vanguard and i love mass effect now. Glad to see my class is a whole lot awesomer now. Can't wait to see CookyNinja Shephard in ME2 soon, after i beat ME1

  • exactly what i did, lol!

  • In terms of fun I would say that the vangard is the most fun but the sentinel is the best

  • im sorry to say but people are forgetting what games are about "the soldier class is the most effective"? who gives a shit, play the class you enjoy playing. Play hard and enjoy it just don't be some massive wanker and be like "vanguard suck cus they blah blah" if some1 likes doing phase charges let em, fucks sake gaming is about enjoyment people, get a life if you have forgotten that.

  • Sentinel IS the best class in the game. I'm not being a fanboy or defending the class, it just is. If you play on Insanity, Sentinel is the best and most flexible with every situation. In my opinion, this is a list of what I think are the best classes when played on INSANITY.

    1) Sentinel

    2) Adept / Engineer (too close to call)

    3) Infiltrator

    4) Soldier

    5) Vanguard

    Reply to my comment if you want to debate or discuss this with me.

  • i beat the game on insanity 2nd playthough with the sentinel and warp ammo as my power. ez

  • vanguard is the best class i finished the game with infiltrator and it was easy on normal and it was awesome but now that ive finished the main story there is absolutely nothing to do thats why im returning it but i give it a 9/10

  • Soldier <3 i like the Incendiary ammo, the Revenant LMG and the Cain, Took down the last boss by first spraying him with disruptor ammo in the face a bit then 1 shot with the cain and BAM, down "it" goes :D

  • Comment removed

  • solider class is in my opinion the best. best weapons, you can slow down time to like 30% speed so everyone is just standing still and you do extra damage when you do it. also you can train and get a biotic power like slam or something like that. also every type of ammo, and skills like commando are amazing. I've tried other class's but they just aren't as effective. and biotics are down played in this game so they kind of suck, and that teleport thing is suicide on harder settings

  • You don't have to use it to warp into a group of enemies... It's good for escaping bad situations.

  • only while your locked onto another enemy.

    Either way your going to charge into enemies XD

  • go adept!

  • im playing thru as a soldier and the second time as a vnguard so i can use assault rifles

  • if you play on a harder setting dont use vanguard. the teleport is suicide if you jump into a group of 3 or more. they just gun you down, stick with soldier

  • u cant use assault rifles with vanguard

  • yeah any class can get any gun later on in the game in the Collector ship. The bad ass AR, the GETH widow sniper, or the Korgan model shotgun. As a Sol class I did 3 play through and got all 3 of the beast guns.

  • Am I the only Adept here?

    Biotics ftw.

  • @Slicksz Lvl 19 Adept :D FTW!

  • @Slicksz I'm an Adept, level 28 i think. I love using Pull Field and then Warp, which detonates biotic powers so they go flying.

  • infiltrator!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • if your a vanguard you can still get a assault rifle later in the game

  • Vanguard is my first class and I love it.

  • same here :D

  • have any of you guys gotten the planet scanner upgrade, is it worth it?

  • kinda it just makes the scanner move faster that's all

  • k thanks

  • yup

  • How do you get more guns and armor?

  • yo how do i get more weapons i beat the game twice and there's like 1upgrade for each kind of weapon other than assault rifle anyone care to tell me were i can buy some good weapons or something

  • @brandonbamforDD I think you have to scout planets for minerals to upgrade weapons

  • i have all the upgrades for my machine pistols, i've only found 1 other machine pistol, 1 heavy pistol excluding the one first given, 1 assualt rifle, 1 shotgun and the krogan shotung and the widow sniper rifle in teh collector ship. i'm on my first run through, hopefully there is more guns!!!!!!!!!

  • na theres no more wepons so thats kinda a let down for me but still a great game

  • damn dude, i think its time to get Borderlands, to quench my thirst for more guns, like 1 MILLION!!!!!!! but Mass Effect 2 is the best, up there with KOTOR

  • sure is Bioware/EA make some really good games

  • @xxBIoodBIadexx my opinion borderlands=much more micromanaging but rewarding, mass effect 2 long load times, great graphics but annoying little things like your fish forget to feed them once, pow all dead

  • unless you talk to your assistant a lot then you have dinner in your room and she notices them an agrees to feed them for you. worst part of the game when she is taken. because then i dont have anyone to feed my fish
