The person commentating on this video doesn't know what he's talking about.
First off, importing a ME1 character increases the enemy level and therefore, their difficulty. Secondly, ALWAYS recruit Mordin first, simply because then you can start researching the upgrades for your squad, which is critical! Do NOT try Insanity with a Soldier! Although the Soldier has the most amount of guns, it has the least amount of versatility and absolutely zero CC abilities to enemies with protection.
@MysteriousAndAwesome My advice is buy shotgun biotic health and shield upgrades. Then bring squadmates thay are capable of taking down barriers shield and armor. Finally, don't charge right into enemy mobs, charge enemies behind cover instead
Kasumi is amazing at taking on all types of enemies. Her Shadow Strike is just too good to ever take anyone else. With Kasumi and a squadmate with the appropriate ammo power, it makes missions alot easier, especially once Kasumi gets her loyalty power.
nonono! Squad power usage needs to be OFF. The player is smarter than the AI. There's nothing worse than being in a pinch and having Jacob recharging the pull he just threw at some dude with full shields. My advice-leave squad power usage off, but only if you can think fast and make them use their powers optimally as much as possible.
@MysteriousAndAwesome if your comfortable with it. you can beat the game on insanity with any class so long as you understand the strengths and weakness of it. Search around their are some Vanguard videos of people playing on Insanity
If I get my character to max level and swap to insane will I still be able to still use the same character and still get the achievement unlocked for doing this?
@thomascats151 you gotta play from start to finish...beat the game on easy first and unlock the geth shield...start a new game but DONT UPLOAD YOUR PREVIOUS GAME!!! start from scratch and use the geth shield it saves you soooo much anger and frustration
Don't get me wrong but wouldn't it be a smart idea to always have Miranda in your party on tougher difficulties. She has good squad weapon and health bonuses and works better with WA
im going through in like my 9th or 10th walkthrough in the game
doing my 1st one on insanity as a soldier because i figure having all the weapons like the sniper rifle will help alot plus i can use the bonus ability to conver the other side of things
I beat the game on Insanity in my 2nd playthrough and i loved it. Game is so fun to play and i enjoyed the challenge because if you run out for 3 seconds in an enemy fight your basically dead. You HAVE to be tactical in the way you handle a situation. Only complaint with playing the game again is the damn mining and having to scan for EVERY UPGRADE AGAIN. If those were fixed the game would of been a solid 10/10 in my eyes
@ffinfinity1 Scanning for the minerals is whats keeping me from doing a 3rd play through man. I agree with you, if that was fixed I would definitely play a 3rd time.
i have played all the classes to try and get the "overload,warp, incinerate, ECT trophies so i played all the classes and i gotta say Tech armour is the most useful on insanity, but its still a pain in the arse to beat it. don't read this and expect a cake walk with any one class
if you gain the loyalty of half of the people in one playthrough then import your character a seocnd time do you have to do the loyalty missions again??
dont know why u r all complaining, u can never make a guide for all classes, i actually appreciate that he gave a guide for the class he knows best, the soldier, even though personally my favorite is sentinel, thank u and keep up the good job
Do you have to live at the end of the game to get the achievement? Because I was going to skip all the loyalty missions during my insanity playthrough.
I'm really happy because I just beat my insanity campaign as a Infiltrator today..was my 1st playthrough of it and im not sure if I used the best class for it lol..but im still happy..A soldier would have been the best choice for the playthrough?
@Killert52 Yes, and no. Some people say yes, but I say either Infiltrator or Sentinel. Sentinel is much more rounded than soldier, and frankly if you just pick the assault training on the collector ship he's even better. Really, no. Soldier isn't a good choice, but it's a meh choice.
lol everyone who plays this game has there own favourite classes, techniques and styles of playing. i got the insanity achievement on vanguard, with the barrier abbility.
I've managed to beat insanity on 3 different characters. The only reason Solider is ANY good is because he's got so many goddamn weapons and ammo effects
I did this but when i changed difficulty to insanity i didnt do it at the start, i did it at the very first point where we play shep in the burning normandy...please please tell me im still gonna get the achievement??
that last bit on the mordin do not go to them after you pulled second switch just wait for all of them to come to you instead at that 2nd switch place. kill them (vorcha and few krogen)and those rocket luncher guys should not appear at all. at least that is how i did it
at the freedom progrees big mech tip. just send your squad mates way far towards the end of the map. then he will be confused and then simply keep ordering them to attack him with powers
in prefer infiltrator on insanity because your cloak gives you a damage boost and enemies cant hit you at all plus you have incinerate so you can bring Miranda instead of Mordin and her warp and overload are very useful.
@bigbad1000do7a Viper works better for Soldier than Infiltrator, Adrenaline Rush boosts all weapon damage (Viper is semi-autofire) while Cloack only boosts one shot (Widow & Mantis are lever-action).
If you think Mantis is badass then Widow is badass^2 :)
@MJ1284 you know I never tried the viper on insanity. Only hardcore. I didnt finish the game on insanity yet either. Just hardcore. But yeah, I gotta try it out with the adrenaline rush.
@xKlen im trying one with sentinel, since he was a lvl 60 import i have power armor now, and man it is helpful, so far kasumi, and mordin missions, going to start with garrus next time but darn im worried for the blood pack part, my bonus power is stasis.
insanity is (at least on PC) not that difficult... just make sure to stay in cover as much as possible and watch your shields. for me, infiltrator works best because the cloak saves your ass countless times and lets you oneshot enemys without shields. also i would recommend using AP ammo for insanity (+70% dmg against armor and health). shields can mostly be taken down with either one sniper shot or good use of the overload ability of your party members.
@H4wk3zz yeah its not hard at all i was a soldier and i did nt find any area of the game hard at all adrenaline rush plus widow maker sniper rifle equalled mass pain and yeah i had a shield restore ability as my extra skill was a walk in the park
@H4wk3zz This is exactly what I did, AP Ammo is better than Warp Ammo because most enemies have some sort of Armor but Shields & Barriers are less common. Incinerate is also good to have, it'll chew through armor (and takes down most Shields with two hits) and permanently prevents health regeneration (VERY useful against vorchas and krogans).
Cloack + AP Ammo + Widow deals ridiculous amount of damage, even Geth Primes & Scions and other tough enemies go down fast.
@MJ1284 totally, you are completly right in every point you make!
man, i can't wait for mass effect 3 ;) just got my N7 hoodie from biowarestores ... LOVE IT... and totally worth the shipping from usa to europe (austria) ;)
@superdogmeatmeat yeah i found two patches which fixed pretty much everything and then i noticed that you can't get max graphics from the gameplay menu so i had to change a settting file.
Yay! I finished the game on insanity today! But i played as a sentinel... it's a great class for insanity cause it got overload for shields, warp for barriers and armor :D
@deathwaitsfornoone It's still possible to beat, i'm on PS3 and doing different to this video and i'm not bothering with resources just getting the trophy then i'll go back to normal.
@KCChiefsAdams i know i played ME1 on xbox before i switched... my point was you dont get to transfer points and morality points from 1st, im not complaining im just saying
surprises me of how many people have a hard time with insanity...I played insanity as a senital and even had to check a few to time to make sure I was playing on insanity. If you play as a senital make sure you get some points into warp and overload, then max out tech armor and raider.
@sooooooflyyy You literally cannot spell "Sentinel", and your trying to give advice how to play as one? I'm sure you beat it on insanity but not as easy as you (and others) make it out to be.
yup, one simple spelling mistake means everything. I suggest trying the game on very easy since your having difficulties sir. these silly guides are not gonna help you.
If youre looking to find just what is wrong with ME2, then play this game on insanity. Playing it on an easier difficulty makes the game seem okay, but playing it on insanity.... You realize just how poorly developed and shitty this game is.
You could elaborate on what you didnt like. The combat, the A.I, The Story be specific on to what part of development was shitty. Or else it sounds like a rant.
@godsun212 My main problem was the AI. Play this game on insanity, and the AI proves to be the biggest fuckin dumbass since Sheva in RE5. I'll admit the storyline is okay and fun to play through, but really, the voice acting in the game can be pretty crappy at times, the graphics felt very very under par, and the visuals were less than satifying. Mabye I'm a little biased on those last 2 points, seeing as the last game I played before ME2 was GoW3. Either, its a good game, just very overhyped.
@DialgaMarine3 Bullshit. ME2 was amazing, yeah it was .4 shy of being a 10/10 because of AI, cover, lack of little things and a very orginal RPG but a great game. Graphics, life like.
@KCChiefsAdams The graphics really wernt that great, but like I said, thats probably bias on my part because there are graphically superior games to this on PS3 like Killzone, Uncharted, and God of War. Regardless, the AI was terrible, the story felt bland, and for an RPG, it was short as hell. Oh and IGN gave it that score bte, so please dont use their scores seeing theyre nothing but a bunch of 360 biased cock suckers. Killzone 3 was better than Halo Reach by far,
@scar432 Bring Squadmate who has powers that can knock enemies off their feet,like Concussive Shot,Shockwave,Inferno Grenade,Flashbang Grenade etc. use those against Husks.
Make sure to bring Miranda for Squad bonus.
AP Ammo is also very helpful,but if you bring Garrus and he has Squad AP ammo,then have Shepard learn Dominate, it instant kill Husks,and if you're lucky,you can have 2 or more collectors fight for you for a brief moment.
I tried it as a soldier ME2 import (heavy slam as extra power) lvl 30. It was too hard, so i'm now trying to get no-one left behind on veteran. Veteran is way easier than Insanity. I'll try insantity again though, the renegade way. Any tips on which class I should use?
@blade9871 bring a missle launcher with as many rounds as possible,or the nuke launcher and that'll kill the bitch and the heavy mech wont follow you if u dont go downstairs so stay up and shoot him
@QWOOTERS i disagree.... if you're interested in the story.. or you want to import a me1 character to me2... play it, but yeah the gameplay in ME2 is twice better XD
I just beat it 4 the ps3 and now I have 2 beat on insanity and it's hard plus half of u guys have ME1 data u can use we ps3 players don't have that data
@godX20A same, i jus beat it also n now im going bk for the trophys + this is the 1st game i actually happy playin again cuz its worth it, but im anoyed cause i wanted to save every1, the only guy tht died was zaeed and its becoz i cudnt leave those workers behind therefor he lost his guy i didnt gain his loyalty and he died :( so ima hav to do all the loyatly missions on insanity to get both trophys in 1 playthru again :(
@SafZako i managed 2 get the no man left behind trophy on my first try and i had jack on normal stats because of the fight between her and miranda but now i think i leave their missions till the end and work on a way 2 fill my paragon up
good luck on the insanity playthrough u will need it
@godX20A Actually, most people who play on Insanity use a fresh character that has nothing carried over from ME1 or previous ME2 campaigns because of the way combat scaling works. It's a lot harder playing with a previous character when at say Horizon all the enemies are scaled to level 30.
Because of this, a lot of people don't even use their ME1 profiles when they play ME2, at least not on Insanity. I'm sure there are some who do, but the ideal experience is based around a fresh character.
ME1 import data does nothing other than dictate who is alive and dead and who you meet in ME2. a fully leveled character from ME1 grants something like 3 levels, which is easily made up with a normal run, dlc content and the start of an insanity run.
@V3NOMXIII Yeah, talk is cheap, but do you have a Let's Play series demonstrating how "easy" it is for you?
I've only beat the game on Normal, but it's easy for me to just say, "Yeah man, I agree, ME2 on Insanity was so easy. I beat it without dying a single time or my shields even being fully depleted."
Truth be told, the game is extremely difficult on Insanity. Even the prologue mission can be a bitch, and if you're not careful, you will die easily... and a lot.
@b00mQQ did I claim that I didn't die once or have my shield depleted? I died a few times but Insanity difficulty in this game is as difficult as the highest difficulty in gears of war (which is pretty easy). Other than dying a few times, I had no problem plowing through the game in 57 hours. It's a fucking looooong and satisfying game.
@b00mQQ I would LOVE to do a Let's Play series to demonstrate how easy this game is but if you look around there are plenty of people doing that already. Still I want to point out that games have been lax on difficulty levels, the only games that gave players a genuine challenge are Demon Souls, Ninja Gaiden, God of War 3, etc. Mass Effect 2 is pretty easy on the highest difficulty if you are playing as a soldier and know how to use Adrenaline Rush and Concussive Shot among other abilities.
All you need to beat this is a level 30 soldier and the firepower pack. The mattock rifle and geth plasma shotgun absolutely tear shit up, and combined with adrenaline rush, you're basically unstoppable
@rayne870 Some do, I reckon. A lot of people don't have endless hours to sit and play these games due to not having a job, and figure out what tactics work best for certain situations. Some people have jobs and families to tend to, and are lucky to get 2-3 hours in a day.
Although, this isn't a real good guide to go by. Importing a ME1 or ME2 character only makes it harder on yourself. The general difficulty from enemy scaling outweighs the perks you start with from an imported character.
i got by just spamming area reave on an infiltrator. had a few tough points and all but the logic is that anyone going for insanity wouldn't really need a guide for this since they would know the mechanics from a previous play through.
is it possible to keep importing a ME2 charecter? Like beat it, import than beat that, and import and so on? It would make the game alot easier because you can unlock all of the collector ship weapons, or atleast the sniper and assult rifle, the shotgun you dont realy need.
Yesterday I played with my character from ME1 (60lvl) and I did same strategy on freedom progress (lol). Now Im on Mordin's mission becouse I want to have acces to upgrades. Normaly short battle now takes more time and you need to focus on your squad. Investing on medi gel is necessary -its pretty hard to be left with no ammo and squadmates against armored/shielded Krogan.
@RyanKHS06 Yeah, I was actually kind of saddened that Ashley died in ME1. It's kind of depressing for me that almost the entire crew in Mass Effect 2 was completely new, with returns from a few of your old squad members, and the way Kaiden died was just sad. He was my favorite from ME1.
Hopefully ME3 continues with the same crew as ME2. It's kind of neat building relationships over a long period of time with crew members.
You know, when i imported my ME2 soldier, it gave me all my armor and weapons, including the Widow sniper from the collector ship. Plus, all the resources and credits mentioned from the higher level ME1 import, wh

insanity is (at least on PC) not that difficult... just make sure to stay in cover as much as possible and watch your shields. for me, infiltrator works best because the cloak saves your ass countless times and lets you oneshot enemys without shields. also i would recommend using AP ammo for insanity (+70% dmg against armor and health). shields can mostly be taken down with either one sniper shot or good use of the overload ability of your party members.

@H4wk3zz yeah its not hard at all i was a soldier and i did nt find any area of the game hard at all adrenaline rush plus widow maker sniper rifle equalled mass pain and yeah i had a shield restore ability as my extra skill was a walk in the park
nash3timemvp 9 months ago
@H4wk3zz This is exactly what I did, AP Ammo is better than Warp Ammo because most enemies have some sort of Armor but Shields & Barriers are less common. Incinerate is also good to have, it'll chew through armor (and takes down most Shields with two hits) and permanently prevents health regeneration (VERY useful against vorchas and krogans).
Cloack + AP Ammo + Widow deals ridiculous amount of damage, even Geth Primes & Scions and other tough enemies go down fast.

surprises me of how many people have a hard time with insanity...I played insanity as a senital and even had to check a few to time to make sure I was playing on insanity. If you play as a senital make sure you get some points into warp and overload, then max out tech armor and raider.

If youre looking to find just what is wrong with ME2, then play this game on insanity. Playing it on an easier difficulty makes the game seem okay, but playing it on insanity.... You realize just how poorly developed and shitty this game is.

You could elaborate on what you didnt like. The combat, the A.I, The Story be specific on to what part of development was shitty. Or else it sounds like a rant.
godsun212 11 months ago
@godsun212 My main problem was the AI. Play this game on insanity, and the AI proves to be the biggest fuckin dumbass since Sheva in RE5. I'll admit the storyline is okay and fun to play through, but really, the voice acting in the game can be pretty crappy at times, the graphics felt very very under par, and the visuals were less than satifying. Mabye I'm a little biased on those last 2 points, seeing as the last game I played before ME2 was GoW3. Either, its a good game, just very overhyped.
DialgaMarine3 11 months ago
@DialgaMarine3 Bullshit. ME2 was amazing, yeah it was .4 shy of being a 10/10 because of AI, cover, lack of little things and a very orginal RPG but a great game. Graphics, life like.
KCChiefsAdams 11 months ago
@KCChiefsAdams The graphics really wernt that great, but like I said, thats probably bias on my part because there are graphically superior games to this on PS3 like Killzone, Uncharted, and God of War. Regardless, the AI was terrible, the story felt bland, and for an RPG, it was short as hell. Oh and IGN gave it that score bte, so please dont use their scores seeing theyre nothing but a bunch of 360 biased cock suckers. Killzone 3 was better than Halo Reach by far,

im in the part were you go into a collector ship with infiltrator,
i fucking did a rage quit any one got tips on that mission?
scar432 11 months ago
@scar432 Bring Squadmate who has powers that can knock enemies off their feet,like Concussive Shot,Shockwave,Inferno Grenade,Flashbang Grenade etc. use those against Husks.
Make sure to bring Miranda for Squad bonus.
AP Ammo is also very helpful,but if you bring Garrus and he has Squad AP ammo,then have Shepard learn Dominate, it instant kill Husks,and if you're lucky,you can have 2 or more collectors fight for you for a brief moment.
The only real problem are Scions.

I tried it as a soldier ME2 import (heavy slam as extra power) lvl 30. It was too hard, so i'm now trying to get no-one left behind on veteran. Veteran is way easier than Insanity. I'll try insantity again though, the renegade way. Any tips on which class I should use?

good luck on the insanity playthrough u will need it
godX20A 1 year ago
@godX20A Actually, most people who play on Insanity use a fresh character that has nothing carried over from ME1 or previous ME2 campaigns because of the way combat scaling works. It's a lot harder playing with a previous character when at say Horizon all the enemies are scaled to level 30.
Because of this, a lot of people don't even use their ME1 profiles when they play ME2, at least not on Insanity. I'm sure there are some who do, but the ideal experience is based around a fresh character.
b00mQQ 1 year ago
@godX20A
ME1 import data does nothing other than dictate who is alive and dead and who you meet in ME2. a fully leveled character from ME1 grants something like 3 levels, which is easily made up with a normal run, dlc content and the start of an insanity run.

V3NOMXIII 1 year ago
@V3NOMXIII Yeah, talk is cheap, but do you have a Let's Play series demonstrating how "easy" it is for you?
I've only beat the game on Normal, but it's easy for me to just say, "Yeah man, I agree, ME2 on Insanity was so easy. I beat it without dying a single time or my shields even being fully depleted."
Truth be told, the game is extremely difficult on Insanity. Even the prologue mission can be a bitch, and if you're not careful, you will die easily... and a lot.
b00mQQ 1 year ago
@b00mQQ did I claim that I didn't die once or have my shield depleted? I died a few times but Insanity difficulty in this game is as difficult as the highest difficulty in gears of war (which is pretty easy). Other than dying a few times, I had no problem plowing through the game in 57 hours. It's a fucking looooong and satisfying game.
V3NOMXIII 1 year ago
@b00mQQ I would LOVE to do a Let's Play series to demonstrate how easy this game is but if you look around there are plenty of people doing that already. Still I want to point out that games have been lax on difficulty levels, the only games that gave players a genuine challenge are Demon Souls, Ninja Gaiden, God of War 3, etc. Mass Effect 2 is pretty easy on the highest difficulty if you are playing as a soldier and know how to use Adrenaline Rush and Concussive Shot among other abilities.

ENM173 1 year ago
really, people need a guide for this?
rayne870 1 year ago
@rayne870 Some do, I reckon. A lot of people don't have endless hours to sit and play these games due to not having a job, and figure out what tactics work best for certain situations. Some people have jobs and families to tend to, and are lucky to get 2-3 hours in a day.
Although, this isn't a real good guide to go by. Importing a ME1 or ME2 character only makes it harder on yourself. The general difficulty from enemy scaling outweighs the perks you start with from an imported character.
b00mQQ 1 year ago
@b00mQQ
i got by just spamming area reave on an infiltrator. had a few tough points and all but the logic is that anyone going for insanity wouldn't really need a guide for this since they would know the mechanics from a previous play through.

Happyhippy1992 1 year ago
is it possible to keep importing a ME2 charecter? Like beat it, import than beat that, and import and so on? It would make the game alot easier because you can unlock all of the collector ship weapons, or atleast the sniper and assult rifle, the shotgun you dont realy need.
lilsparkyx14 1 year ago
the easiest way is to complete the game as a soilder and to import the ME2 charecter because you get the weapon from the collector ship
lilsparkyx14 1 year ago
Yesterday I played with my character from ME1 (60lvl) and I did same strategy on freedom progress (lol). Now Im on Mordin's mission becouse I want to have acces to upgrades. Normaly short battle now takes more time and you need to focus on your squad. Investing on medi gel is necessary -its pretty hard to be left with no ammo and squadmates against armored/shielded Krogan.

RyanKHS06 1 year ago
@RyanKHS06 Yeah, I was actually kind of saddened that Ashley died in ME1. It's kind of depressing for me that almost the entire crew in Mass Effect 2 was completely new, with returns from a few of your old squad members, and the way Kaiden died was just sad. He was my favorite from ME1.
Hopefully ME3 continues with the same crew as ME2. It's kind of neat building relationships over a long period of time with crew members.
