It looks like they've combined a lot of talent choices across the board (for all classes). With luck, this means playing the hybrid classes will be less of a hassle in point distribution and much more fun. Sentinel video in case someone missed it:

I read or saw somewhere that the game has a sort of lockers now where you can swap equpiment while in a level. The downside is, say you start the mission with a sniper rifle, untill you find one of these lockers, your stuck with the sniper rifle.
As a vanguard I loved using my shotgun for most things but sometimes I had to swap out for my pistol when I needed some precise aiming. But with this locker system, seems like when I want to get the job done, I need to rely on someone else assuming they are still alive to take the shot.

Oh no! Being able to swap freely between the 4 weapons was rather essential to playing a soldier class on the higher levels.

Why do this? It's as silly in the in-game lore as the need to reload. They've already established that the guns collapse down and attach to armour so all 4 types can be carried easily.

Was it? I used the sniper now and then, the pistol just to play a commander with a pistol but otherwise the assault rifle would be perfectly fine for most situations. Except when it would somehow overheat all of a sudden, probably some special ability on the enemy side.Oh no!

On normal I used the assault rifle for everything except a rare few shotgun or sniper situations.
On hardcore and up I found myself using the full set. Sniper rifle to take down a couple of enemies at range if outside, assault rifle for the bulk of the killing work, pistol to fill the gap on the frequent occasions my assault rifle got targeted by that ability which made it unusable for a set period of time, and shotgun with knockdown ammo for dangerous foes like Krogan or the creepers or if my pistol also got knocked out of commission.

I am going to need to ask for a citation for this locker dilemma.
RE: Sentinel
I'm glad they've allowed the class some basic weapons training beyond pistol (as was in ME -even though it reportedly had the most dps when using Marksman). I'm also interested in the range of new powers -cryo freeze for one sounds useful!

I hadn't had the chance to watch that video before. I'm actually quite impressed with the Sentinel -on the the strength of that video anyway.It looks like they've combined a lot of talent choices across the board (for all classes).
