Good thing Shepard's not in the military then. Oh wait.

Mine isn't.

Hooray for a shotgun that doesn't suck!

This. I think I used the shotgun for about 15 minutes before realizing the Assault Rifle completely kicked its ass.

It does. A 3 round magazine, with 15 rounds in reserve? Ugh. EDIT: anyone else notice that the shotgun is misaligned on the PC hud?

Hopefully we'll be able to customize the armor, or at least toggle the helmet on and off.

Indeed, I'm rather miffed that I forked out so much cash for the CE only to find that I won't use any of the armour because I can't take off the helmets. Sad face.

Yeah, as someone mentioned it's non customizable... again. To boot it squishes Shepard's boobs, if that's the chromosomal disposition of yours.

Can't go wrong with new free stuff! Wish there was a new assault rifle or heavy pistol, though.

Well there is that heavy machine gun you can grab in game. I just picked it up and if your conservative with the spray and pray, its a death machine.

Anyway though new armor is always a plus, considering if you messed up punching in the pre-order code for Terminus Armor (like i did. still kicking myself over that one). Not to mention in game choices for armor pieces are pretty limited. but hey free DLC is free DLC and if you think thats a bad thing then you need to get your head checked.

Dude the Revenant Machine Gun is scary good. That thing rips through people on Insanity.

Where do you get it?

Are you talking about the regular shotty or the heavy shotgun? The latter can take out a full bar of health/armor/shields on low- to medium-tier enemies.

Every shot game are bad in ME2... i used them a bit on my vanguard before i realise i can't play with them most of the time because i would run out of ammo before i can say ouf...
while the SMG was doing the job much better

See, I didn't think the SMG got the job done fast enough. I needed a quick, powerful, reliable gun to suit my playing style. Sure, the SMG is very useful in certain situations, but when Krogan are closing in, I need something with a little more punch.

"Deactivated" Collector ship. It's one of the three advanced weapon choices. Might only be useable by Soldiers, dunno though.

Maybe they will put in an option to toggle helmets on/off, I have all this DLC armour I haven't used because of that stupid omission.

I don't know if I'm the only one finding the fact that people are wanting no helmets funny since I heard so many of my friends complaining about the created faces in the last game looking so ugly that they wanted full face masks.

Meh,.the light machine gun you can get is only really worth it if you can get the accuracy upgrade for assault rifles and fire in short bursts. That said, I'm liking the new shotgun that came with the DLC. Useful for my vanguard. Now if only it held more than 3 rounds at once. Still, so far I'm glad I got the Cerberus Network free. If all the DLC adds up over time like this, it should be worth it. As for the helmets issue, they don't bug me too much. An option to have it shown or not would be nice, but overall I'm not complaining. Just having a helmet that covers your face can ruin some of the more dramatic moments in game.

I hear that. I mean what was the point of customizing the character? Oh well at least it's free. At least I'll get some use out of the gun.

You're right, it is.

Darn. Oh well, time to make a new character class.

It's worth it though. It is easily the best weapon in the game. I've run into 5 enemies bunched up on Insanity and I killed all 5 of them with one clip. Plus I have yet to find a more satisfying kill then popping adrenline rush, leaving cover, closing the gap and having the slow mo burn off as you unleash a hell upon an unlucky soul... Maybe I should get that checked out : \

I love the suckering in they're doing to their user base. Honestly, I do. Bioware really learned their lesson from the backlash at Dragon Age's DLC bullshit. Or maybe this was the plan all along, and I just happen to love Mass Effect 2 a lot, while my love for DA:O is a little more ostensible.
