Awesome video, I assume the insects are the new bad guys in this game.

Some new videos since this thread was last posted in.

And just because I can, here's the videos of the classes shown so far.
(Just lack the Soldier & Vanguard ones)

Adept
Engineer
Infiltrator
Sentinel

Engineer, Infiltrator & Sentinel all seem fun to me. But will most likely play a Vanguard if they they come with Assault Rifles for first playthrough.

Vanguard with rifles......that will be new. I had gotten used to the shotgun-pistol combo. It will be cool to use something that fires faster.

Thanks.

For those in the UK, amazon.co.uk are currently doing a pre-order of ME2 for £29.99! That's nearly £10 cheaper than the other online stores. You also get a code for some special armour.

You could get Assault Rifles for Vanguard in ME1 if you completed the game first.

But the skills still gave bonuses to pistols & shotguns only. In ME1 I just preferred the assault rifle & sniper rifles, which is what kept me from playing some of the other classes.

In ME2 though I'm playing a Vanguard first, as Force Charge is definitely

plus I can use SMGs too.

I'm just waiting for Steam to add ME2 for pre-order. I want the game as fast as I can so I'm willing to spend some extra money for that and a (hopefully) Digital Deluxe Edition. Of all game companies, only Bioware can bring the fanboi out in me.

I ordered mine on Tuesday

Couldn't find it cheaper elsewhere either.

Vanguard
Awesome, SMG! in addition to the pistol and shotgun. I'm glad my character will finally be able to have a little fun with those MG's. I couldn't hit anything with the assault rifle in ME1 unless it was a foot away from me.

Hmm, are you familiar with the concept of the 3-round burst?

Once you get a Specter assualt rifle you don't even have to worry about overheating, just spray and pray (even though you shouldn't really need to pray

)

What frustrated me the most about the Vanguard build in ME was havuing to spend xp on Pistol before getting access to the Shotgun. It's meant to be a close-quarter's specialist, not taking pot shots from a distance like a namby-pamby sentinel, adept or engineer.

Edit: Addendum
On the broader skill/abilities and progression, I'm quite interested to note the chanegs between ME and ME2, but also that ammo types now count as an upgradeable skill -as well as available to only distinct classes. That the skills have optional routes too (e.g. target an individual or group) also adds to the flexibility and one would hope replayability.

Nice to see it won't just be the same as ME but with a different story.

ooh I've come over all fan-boy-ish.

Vanguard it's going to be then, again.....I never felt the shotgun lacking though....infact I preferred it to the assault rifle......more damage, and all you need to do is move forward quickly, from cover to cover....
Edit:
Force charge

I played a Vanguard in ME, and while I really enjoyed the biotic bit, I wished I should use better guns. I was considering going straight soldier in ME2, but this is making me reconsider.
