    You are going to find that, pretty much with any EA or Activision franchise, the playerbase has been trained to Day One purchase the games - regardless of their quality. They will then proceed to play the hell out of them while complaining about the homogenization of the industry.

But every COD game after it they've not tried to do anything new, and only made the mechanics and story far, far worse.

    But alas, that is the thing about opinions I guess, everyone is different >.< It still makes me angry though >.>

    Also if ME4 tries to go more FPS focused, then I'll go from a; "Maybe I'll buy if the Story looks really good" .. To; "Fuck that shit". The best aspects in Mass Effect (And this is what fucked 3 up) has always been the; Story, Characters and Setting. The only 'Real' FPS game to have an interesting story was COD:MW1 and it hasn't ever been replicated since. Mass Effect is an RPG/Space Opera first, FPS/Cover-Based Shooter second. To swap those two around would just destroy the Series completely, even after its decline in awesomeness because of ME3.
    Agreed. The beauty of the Mass Effect trilogy is not the combat, its the story telling.

    Woot? I love the combat in ME series. (Personally, I think what ME 3 did is a great smooth point between waiting for the red bar to be filled and begging for the medkit gods to grant you a favor.)

    Gunplay? GOOOD!
    Cover system? Good.
    Powers? GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDD!

    I actually bribed a CoD person to play the first 2 properly.
    Then received a message saying he wasn't playing it anymore because the ending to 3 was stupid .

    Not that bad, just used at least one Medical Exoskeleton thing in each armour later on

    Passive regen is vastly underrated.

    To declare that a personal, inner experience gives certainty about the workings of the universe is to assign far too much value to one’s subjective sense of conviction.
    I’m not that arrogant.
    The brain, marvelous instrument though it is, isn’t infallible. It can misfire, seize or hallucinate, and it can do so in a way that’s utterly indistinguishable from reality to the person experiencing it.

    And that, my dear friend, is why LFR is good, both in gameplay and gear. It lets you taste the carrot.

    Incinerate and Submission net should be a good combo. Nice to see Net on something other than a Batarian Sentinel. Power damage bonus of Bloodlust, and anti armor capability of his kit is quite nice. Since net can also capture shielded and barriered enemies, he should have an easy time fighting against anyone.

    Like him! Since I'm all maxed out anyway, I'm gonna go get him nao!

    On the topic of MP, I know there used be a tech/biotic combo (what primes & sets off) list a long time ago. Is there an updated version of something like this somewhere?

    Basics are, what leaves an effect primes, what deals damage detonates.

    Same skill can detonate itself by being fired by two different people. (Flamer + Flamer, Overload + Overload)

    Looking over if I had saved the list somewhere. I do have updated weapon stats if you are interested.

    Thanks, I got the updated weapon stat sheet already.

    Here's the list then. It is updated about 12 days ago, so it should be current.
