    I'm kinda torn between the Asari Adept and the Human Adept. Both have Warp, but the Human gets Singularity and the Asari has Stasis. Both races are great and but situational. Human Adepts are great at capturing objectives; just lay down a Singularity at a choke point and hope nothing shielded comes through. The Asari's Stasis provides a way to completely shut down those damn Phantoms (even if they have barriers, Stasis locks them down), leading to more kills. The choice really depends on team composition. If you've got an Infiltrator on the team, there's no need to capture points using Singularity.
    On the Soldier side, I'm still rocking the Krogan. Sucks at the end of mission or when you need to hold a point, but every other time you have free reign (except against turrets) over the entire map. I can even tank a shieldless Atlas. Takes about only four to five heavy melee attacks, and the Fortification power ensures I stay alive while doing so.


    The biggest complaints I have are three fold, something that NEEDS a patch:
    1. Hosted matchmaking. GIVE US DEDICATED SERVERS! I don't need to be jumping from one location to another back and forth for a minute just because my connection to the lobby host sucks.
    2. The spacebar. This complaint has been done over and over again by others, so I don't need to go into details other than say that I've died more times to the spacebar than actual combat. And I've seen players die out because my character has developed a sudden love interest in a nearby wall instead of reviving the comrade.
    3. Give us a way to view who is in the game, the score, and most importantly the ping. I cant count how many times I was the only one left alive in a wave, only to find out much later that one or two idiots left because they didn't have the patience or faith enough that the wave would end successfully. On a Silver game, having only two people left in the game is suicide.

    Agreed on the first two points.

    For 3, if you hit Esc then it brings up the current players and the score for each (admittedly, you have to stop killing things to do so, but checking between waves is simple). I don't think it shows who's alive or dead, but if someone leaves or joins the game it reflects that.

    EDIT: Also, leaving a game after you die is stupid in general. If your teammates win, you get back in, and if they don't, the game ends and you get your experience (which is often quite substantial if you were past wave 5 or so).
