Mostly because they don't get Overload, the Engineer's most useful power.

I still think they should rename the Guardians into Legionaries. I mean the Cerberus Squad Leaders are Centurions.

And how does "Phantom" and "Nemesis" relate to that?

@fake: I play as a soldier. We don't get those biotics. :D

In fact, I'm pretty sure I'm the only one here who plays as a soldier on their main. I'm still waiting for the Revenant so I can unleash the Dakka.

I play as Soldier on my main. Concussive Shot is surprisingly useful against Phantoms after you knock off their barriers. Mostly because it's practically guaranteed to hit them if you fire it while while you have them targeted, even if they cloak aferwards.

"Centurion" is already the name of the Blue Suns mercs with shotguns.

And Vindicators. Plus, normal troopers have shotguns as well.

Nah, quarian engies rule. Turrets with flamethrowers are absolutely frigging incredible. Will take down enemies so quick. Great for taking down oppo turrets.

Frack. Partial extraction on silver. Think we had like 6 Atlases coming for us at LZ at the end? Couldn't take them down fast enough in the last few seconds.

Still no Widow. I want my Widow so bad!

Edit: Oh yeah I played paintball today and I kept wishing I could stasis the opposition![lol]

Late to the Omega 4 Relay discussion, but yeah, it's possibly the best hour or so I've ever played in a game. My palms were sweaty, my heart was pounding, and I was on the edge of my seat, hoping, praying everyone would make it through the mission alive. It's the most awesome experience I've ever played in a game. But I still lost one man.

May Grunt rest in peace. Having him lead that second fire team wasn't the greatest idea.

Same, and I was only going off the advice of "Go through the relay as soon as the crew is abducted."

@Medicus

...I'm hoping you intentionally killed them off, seeing as this isn't your first playthrough (I'm assuming, judging by your other posts).

Who died?

Also got the golden ending on my first go. It's the most leisurely suicide mission I've ever been on.

The only thing I got spoiled on was sending Mordin with the crew being preferable.

I did unintentionally have a couple things spoiled. Like how Take Your Time gets brutally subverted, that Tali is a good vent specialist, and that Mordin will probably die unless you take him along.

But yeah, other than Grunt, I got the Golden Ending.

I'm pretty shocked I didn't lose anyone else. Grunt, the strongest guy for holding the line, died, and Thane, another heavy hitter, I had sent back to the Normandy. I probably would have lost more if I didn't have Zaeed.

Talking about my first game. Must have done one more mission before going through the Relay.

The end run sequence from the Reaper's destruction to your conversation with TIM has to be my favourite moment in any game. Maybe in anything period.

I very much doubt ME 3 can top it.

Great, now I need to know how to add the demo to Steam.

Does anyone know how?

I think the first time I did the Suicide Mission, it might've been immediately following the string of sidequests involving a defective AI. The planet full of defective mechs didn't bother me, but the space station was creepy as fuck. Then the mech factory was kinda creepy, too.

And then I went to the Collector Base.

I honestly don't know how I didn't have nightmares that night.

First time I did the SM, I didn't know there was a time limit on rescuing the crew. And I lost Mordin. Every subsequent playthrough, I've kept everyone alive. Though I'll do a playthrough eventually where most of my team will probably die.
