Every other class: Methodical use of Tech and/or Biotic powers depending on the situation. Soldier: "So anyway, I started blasting."

0:23 Adept (telekinesis guy) 1:35 Infitrator (sniper+invisibility) 2:45 Vanguard (teleport&close quarters) 3:50 Sentinel (tech and PSI mix) 5:13 Engineer (combat drone) 6:57 Soldier (guns, guns, guns!)

I love playing as a vanguard, it just seems so deadly and badass. I think Wrex can be classified as a vanguard, that should say enough.

I remember as I watched these videos in 2009 and waited for ME2... That was incredible time.

Vanguard was the most badass. and if you know how to use it the deadliest, even on the toughest difficulties.~Beat Mass Effect 2 on Insanity using the Vanguard.

2021. Legendary edition incoming in T minus one day.

Played Infiltrator through all three games (100+ hours)... zero regrets :D

No love for the engineer?

I finished this game 3 times and soldier was my favourite run, despite the fact it may sound as most generic class.

Solder, "Very deadly for a short time", pfft, I am deadly ALL THE TIME!

Soldier is the most under-rated class. With classes that focus on powers instead of weapons, you're basically limiting yourself to fixed amounts of damage that you can dish out at fixed intervals. For example, Incinerate. You deal 130-210 damage and have to wait 6 seconds before you can use it again. You can deal the same amount of damage with two bursts from the Vindicator, 3 quick shots from the Viper, or 1 blast from the Katana. Additionally, the damage of these weapons can be enhanced further with ammo upgrades, adrenaline rush, and headshots, and can receive damage upgrades just like tech and biotics do. There's also the fact that weapons are hitscan while most powers are projectile, and most powers become less helpful as difficulty goes up and enemies get more shields and armor.

I love the infiltrator. It's so much fun to sneak behind enemies and disrupt the lines of the battlefield.

I have done playthroughs with all of the classes but gotta say that vanguard is my favorite.

In the first Mass Effect I felt that the biotic classes were lacking. The soldier was the obvious choice. But I love how they fixed that in ME 2 and ME 3. My favorite is Vanguard. It's more close quarters in your face style. It can be disorienting and chaotic. But, if used correctly, it is the most deadly class there is.

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS! I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR ONE LIKE THIS FOREVER! xD

using the soldier class, watching this immediately changed my mind about it. fuckin adept and vanguard hells ya

Vanguard is my favorite.

soldier and Adept are my 2 favourites as I love using the weapons and I love making things fly with biotic abilities too but I've got to say I'm enjoying playing as all the classes playing as a vanguard at the moment didn't think I'd enjoy it that much as I generally prefer to keep my enemies at a distance but it's proving to be just as much fun as the other classes in it's own way charging into targets and blasting them with a shotgun like the krogan tend to do

BTW thanks for putting all of these into one video. =) This game looks amazing, I'd better pick it up soon. I loved ME1 (played it like 4 times back when it was new) and just started a new playthrough again the other day, this time as a Soldier instead of Sentinel (my previous character). ME2 looks so much better though based on these videos. =D

THIS GAME IS A LEGEND

each class is awesome

thank you,i couldn't choose :)

Other class : i have power!! Soldier :i'm only human after all

Good work thx

Wow, It took me 6 days to watch this? Time flies

@UKCowboy74 Good news! In ME3 it looks like you'll be able to carry any type of gun on any class. They mentioned it in an interview. The idea is that, say, Soldiers can carry 4 guns. Some classes 3, the "caster" types (adepts, sentinels) will only be able to carry 2. At least, that's the latest news on it.

Im stuck between vanguard and sentinel... I was vanguard in ME1 but it seems like they replaced the lift/warp/barrier for biotic charge. it's kind of the opposite of the play style I used in ME1 where I would use biotics to control crowds and then go in with the shotgun

It's funny, I've played Mass Effect trilogy multiple times and I've never once played a class other than soldier all the way through. But this time I've decided to play the game as a sentinel, that way I can try both biotic and tech abilities and whichever I like more, I'll play that pure specialists next(Engineer or Adept).

@JSpycer I would suggest Vanguard because of the mix between soldier and adept, you can still use combo as Pull Field to pull many targets and shockwave right after to sent them flying up, but against big ones you have the charge for powerful attacks or tactical retreat ;)

2021. First time playing ME2. Thanks for video and I choose Sentinel.

Sentinel is my personal favorite.. fem-shep with all the power, ultimate specter. How is the new Mas Effect?

soldier is for true badasses. a lot more satisfying to say your the best when all you have is your guns.

yeah sentinel for diversety, or it will be solider for the cool ammo types. im sure im gonna try all the classes in the end. this is great with all the classes, then i can play this game over and over again. . thanx for the vid

having alot of fun with engineer even tho i heard its the least popular class in the game, i tried it and its really fun

@PMexyK123 I forgot to mention, sentinel gives you the most options. You can level up your abilities to focus on tech OR weapons, and you get biotics either way with throw.

in mass effect 3, infiltrator is most certainly the best class. But in me2, sniper ammo is harder to find, and the cooldown for cloak is very high. In me3 you're basically invisible the entire time

Can you imagine if you could be in charge of all the classes but only for the insanity difficulty? that would be sick.

I meant to say just ammo, and one thermal clip gives you only like one or two shots. Also how can you beat the sentinel, with extra armor that soaks up a good amount damage and annihilates every enemy nearby? Dont forget that the sentinel can take down every defense and then take out his enemies with biotic and tech powers

I love playing the infiltrator aggressively.

The adapt class looks powerful af

OMG! Thank you! I thought i was the only one to notice that. Yeah i agree, this really bugs me as soldier powers arnt sopposed to be anything like engineer powers as engineers are soppost to be tactical and bring down defences and the soldier is soppost to be for brute force but however the soldier is actually one of the best classes at bringing down defences because of his disrupter ammo (overload) and incenidary ammo (incinerate). Its unbalanced how that most most of the combat moves are...

I'm not sure whether I like my infiltrator or sentinel more. The infil has super high damage with an assassination cloak widow headshot whereas the sentinel's immortal with assault armor and represents my favorite spec in games by being a jack.

@Vincent13 The Engineer has Incineration which is a good against Armor and is decent on Barriers. Plus even if it's leveled to Heavy Incineration, it'll still burn more than one target.

@HarpyTV In the beginning it is restricted but you can get one later just not a revenant.

@AnotherExperience37 I know, on insanity even when you have shield and armor breaking abilities and the right squadmates, it takes a long time to take down shields and armor, then when the enemies are "naked" your powers don't really matter anymore because you can kill them in a couple of shots anyway :/

I choose all of them because thats how much im gonna be playing this game

@aurumer nah i think its just a wrong image. Its the achievement notice, but its showing the renegade thing, hes not really getting renegade points When i used to unlock stuff after upgrading, it used to show a paragon sign.

@strikefreedomFTW I know that, I've played through as Soldier, Adept and Infiltrator already, but it looks like that's what's happening in this vid - every time the Adept gets a kill he gets a 'Renegade Increase' message.

I started the series with ME2 and my first playthrough was as a Soldier which would have been boring if it wasn't my first ME experience. I just finished with Infiltrator which was pretty fun, I would take a squad of snipers and clear rooms very quickly. Going to try a playthrough as a Vanguard next,

using the soldier class, watching this immediately changed my mind about it. adept and vanguard hells ya

Definitely they did a amazing work. In the one, soldier and adept was the strongest class, be more weak the rest. Here each of all is pretty nice. Is true that vanguard was the most attractive to be the most dynamic, but not the best, mostly after some new friends on Mass Effect 3, where could make your best attack in your dead. Adepts was struggling also fight again this new friends, so in the Mass Effect 3 probably infiltrator would be the best (due to be invisible and run xD), following with sentinel and engineer.

Classes have some super cool unique powers, its always hard to choose. Wish i could just build my own class by choosing like, 5 powers.

I use the soldier through all three. mostly because I'm practically tanking and soaking up alot of the damage for Garrus and Tali

@DistortedopinionsTV Indeed! The Soldier's Adrenaline Rush is just absurdly awesome, as well.

wow they are all so awesome, im going to play either engineer, adept or infiltrator

@Fomarl The heavy weapon with the nuclear symbol on the side... It's pretty much a nuke firing gun

Playing my first run as an badass femShep adept, and from this video I'm not sure if I'm going to do my goody to two shoes menShep as an Infiltrator or Vanguard. Engineer and Sentinel would be next and then finally Soldier. Playing my first run on the PS3, but I'll probably buy the remastered collection later on, after I get DMC5, RE8 and GOW: Ragnarok, of course. Add Bloodborne if they remaster it (or at least bump the frame rate). The Nioh collection if they don't.

Here we go again

"We've improved biotic powers" Then why do shields now block everything? It doesn't even make sense in context of the codex entries.

I picked the soldier since I love shooting and man I love my Raven. Though after looking at all the powers other classes have, I'll have to give them all a shot :P

Vanguard! I always go "roar" when I use charge ;D

When you said soldier was the only class to have access to an assault rifle you were wrong. I'm playing as a vanguard and I recently played a mission where you board the first collector ship and I found a pile of weapons and you have a choice of having assault rifle training or sniper rifle training which gives you access to only one of those weapons.

Ohh i have a question to help me. Do u guys prefer biotics or tech powers? I love throwing and lifting people,but hacking the battlefield seems dopee. Some please respond!

shockwave is such an epic move

I played as a Soldier the first time around, so I'll probably play a soldier again, just for consistency. However, I'm glad there's some variety this time-I'll probably give them all a try, at least.

Which class is the best? I can't decide...lol

@zeldadude18 Ok so maybe i rephrased that a little badly but lets think about it. ME3 has been in production for a while so the engine will have its bugs sorted out. ME2 has been out for almost a year so all hte bugs with ME3 engine will be ironed out so there we go. Glitches will be to a minimum.

@ImSuckk yea, but im pleased as it is. for me they've just made improvements cuz i think it was a bit to much at the first one. there were sooooo much to spend points on and so many attacks, i didnt even use 70% of them, but now i pretty much use them all

I allready completed it as a Sentinel and I'm woundering what you think I should play next? I'm thinking of an adept because I like biotics.

It says the engineers do too in a different way in the video...

Can all the classes use all the weapons? Cause I really want to use the assault rifle, and the only 2 i've seen use it are the Adept and the Soldier.

Ahh the engineer it was so much fun hacking and throwing my drone to harass and detonate combos.

charge helped quite a bit to get brawler achievements

ive played through as male paragon infiltrator and female renegade vanguard on ME1 and i have no idea what to pick here for the female renegade im thinking infiltrator

im playing me1 atm and have me2 installed ready to be played. im infiltrator in me1 and i love the marksman pistol skill combined with commando im almost casting it continuously. does me2 still have that for infiltrators? the continuous marksman for pistols? limited ammo may be a pain too..

@MrJolla11 thanks.wat about between vanguard or sentinel i am mostly an aggresive in the game but i like the tech armour please can you tell me which

even if i can pick up bullets i lose them way too fast + i like the fact that you trow them away :D

should i choose infiltrator , soldier or adept ? i like the sneak skills, but i also like to shoot and try the guns , and i love the powers of the adept...

Finisged all three more than 10 times and i haven´t played anything but soldier...huh guess i should try something else.

If u wanna beat it on insane, choose Sentinel 'cause of the extra armor and both Tech and Biotic powers U can handle any situation. Dont choose Vanguard for example for Insane mode, coz the charge skill would be really useless since enemies often might kill you in an instant if u use the skill.

i think two one right when you start making your chartor and one you can learn at the coast off 5000 element zero

@HunterX109 Soldiers are the only ones with assault rifles, but later on in the game you can choose another weapon you want to learn how to use.

THIS. GAME. IS. AWESOME.

@bpw3464 can't go wrong on either of them - i'd recommend playing as a soldier cause they're just so damn strong and so damn fun but Sentinel gameplay is also very interesting

i have some questions. 1, can you do replay with allur items and powers wen completing the game.? 2 what is maxx level? 3 when you are at the collecter ship in the trap, how much of the main mission have you then completet? % thanks :)

GAH!!! damn you Bioware i cant choose which i want to play >=O

Every weapon uses the same ammo in me2. It isn't hard to find, it's just that snipers have a low amount of ammo. The cloak duration isn't that bad. Cloak, pop a shot off, get back in cover, repeat.

@onxiaftw Not really. Engineers can spam Drones, Sentinels with Assault Armor can do well, Adepts who know how to combo Singularity and Warp, Vanguards can rip through most levels with a competent player, and the Infiltrator + Assassin + Assassin Cloak + Widow = Most enemies are down in one headshot.

@PMexyK123 Adept. It requires some skill because it isn't the strongest class, but it's the most fun to play as imo.

i just want to find out which one comes with the visor :I

adept leaves u defenceless when skills are recharging , also they have biotic skills making a lot less choices in taking down enemys. So your using the same moves most of the game. they are defence (keeping enemys away) They help their squad so most kills are going to squad with pull so u take them out of cover. Soilders are defencless when reloading. Then you can use a lot of ammo types and guns so a lot of options. And they are major offence fighters. They only kill their own ememys.

the engeneer looks cool and santinel too i thing what to start i just got the game and i think about engeneer , santinel or infiltrator :D what do you think ? :D

what was the asalt rifle that the soldier was useing ?

When it comes to armor, is the Soldier the only one that can wear the really good stuff again? In the last game only Soldiers could wear heavy armor I think.

@Shiemown Do infiltrator, the single most awesome class

ok now it's definitely a toss up between the vangard, sentinel and solider!

Gonna pik this up tom. Shit..cant decide which class to use, they all seem rea

@Fresh0nline Soldier, Sentinel and Engineer. That's the winners I assure you. When you spam a Combat Drone, mix it with Incinerates and Cryo Blasts, with a touch of Dominate, the battlefield becomes a living hell for the enemies

I think is very good to be adept because you can have good powers

can you change your class if youve ben playing the game already?? i really want to try tht adapt class but i dont wanna lose my level- level 33 sentinel
