I shouldn't have laughed at that, Cleric.

As for Canadian love/hate (depending on who you ask), don't forget deadmau5.

Also, I FINALLY unlocked an XP upgrade for my human male Soldier. I've got full customization for female human Sentinel (which, for the record, I never use), and not a single for my Soldier. Till now.

Still holding out for a Revenant, however.

To be fair, that is a nice model. Just dust it off some and it'll look great between the Normandy and turian frigate models.

It is a Normandy model, isn't it?

[up][up][up] I remember when I was like you. Holding out hope for my own Revenant. I thought it was an amazing gun, like it was in Mass Effect 2. Then when I got it, I found out that it was nothing but lies. In other words, it's a pretty lousy weapon.

[up][up] I guess so. Even then, it slows you down a great deal, so it's hard to escape from enemies while returning fire. You'd be much better off with a Mattock.

Because wrestling and certain wrestler are awesome. Why else?

@CPF

Semi-automatic... ew. My time in the demo where that was my assault rifle wasn't that fun for me. I spent more time behind my Eviscerater and that SMG.

Whoever asked a few pages ago...yes Turians Sentinels are miles better shooters than human soldiers.

Almost cleared Gold last night. Party wipe on Wave 10. 8-10 goddamn Phantoms spawned. Finally unlocked the Salarian Infiltrator as well, got all the aliens now.

That was me. Better than human soldiers? That's a little unfair...

Kudos, you got farther than I got (Wave 7).

Yeah. They can't roll, but you can really feel the damage and accuracy buffs. Gonna try out the Revenant once I unlock some upgrades (I have the Mattock X and Revenant I right now so...), I reckon they can make it useless. Plus overload is a superb ability.

[up]x15 Because Bioware games are always packed with references, and you'd think there'd be at least one person who work there that's a wrestling fan. No other reason than that.

So what's the point of the human soldier again? Apparently, the turian sentinel is better with weapons, is more durable, and is stronger in melee. He doesn't have Frag Grenade or Adrenaline Rush, but the former is limited to only three uses and the latter doesn't slow down time in multiplayer and recharges painfully slow. The only thing the Soldier really has here is Concussive Shot, which is inferior to Overload in everyway (slower, recharges slower, does less damage against barriers, can only stun one guy at a time).

[up]None that I can see. I don't really play the human soldier.

My class breakdown: 20 Adept, 20 Engineer, 17 Sentinel (been playing a lot since getting my Turian), 17 Infiltrator, 14 Soldier, 6 Vanguard (whenever I get up close and personal in MP, I die early and often).

The turian also has to be unlocked. The Soldier is available from the start.

[up][up] Turn on tech armor, upgrade Overload as high as it will go (and get the upgrade that gives it +100 % damage against shields and barriers), Overload everything, Mattock them while they're stunned and shield-less, then Warp the survivors. At least that's what I've been doing.
