I played as a vangaurd,  I thought the running charge was cool.  What did you like about your character?  Or why did you choose that class?

I played Vanguard in the first game, but in this one I went with Sentinel.  I like the fact that I can just soak up the damage and have a nice combination of tech and biotic powers.

Infiltrator... they're awesome. Up to 2.5 seconds of slowdown with the sniper focus (depending on what evolution you choose) and the ability to cloak. Cloaking is awesome because ti recharges fast and adds a damage bonus, so good Infiltrators need to constantly cloak, then snipe, then cloak, then snip, etc. It will give maximum damage, especially with Assassination Cloak. 

Adept. I love blobbing bubbles.

Soldier, and I'm glad I did.  Got a assault rifle that kicks ass.  Slow down time and just unload on them.

Vanguard. SMG, Shotgun, Pistol, Sniper Rifle, and some biotics and the nasty charge? I empty rooms quick.

Wow infiltrators sound pretty cool.  I didn't know that they could do all that.  "

I want to switch over to an Engineer when I get the game. I played through the first one without using any real tactic beyond take cover, wait for an opening, and run in with a shotgun. This time, I want to do things differently.

Soldier, like a real man. 
 
What's that? I can use the force? Fuck that. Hand me that rocket launcher.

Soldier because I figured it's be a good all around class.  Good with guns and a good amount of health.

Soldier.for a few reasons  :
1. I played my paragon in Mass effect 1 as a soldier and i enjoyed having the ability to change my weapons
2. The soldier is the best fit as the commander. I think commander Shepard is a natural soldier and suppose to be better than any biotic. I think when he talks to the Turian General in ME1 for the consort he is a Soldier.
3. In ME2 their is no other soldier besides you. Everybody has the biotic or the tech powers but nobody has the guns you have. 
4.adrenaline an concusion shot are a deadly duo and good for sniping.  
5. All the ammo available in my opinion a better power house against multiple enemies than the biotic powers do.
-This is my opinion. This is the second time im playing as a Soldier for a renegade. I was going to play as vangaurd but i figure since im playing insanity the second time to have my level and weapons already in the begining alot better chances of survival than starting at the begining.

 3. In ME2 their is no other soldier besides you. Everybody has the biotic or the tech powers but nobody has the guns you have.  
 

I still haven't played it, to be honest, but I'll certainly play as a soldier.

Yeah what? there are numerous Soldier types on your team. Grunt is the best example. I would consider Garrus one too. Anyone with a shotgun or Assault rifle basically...
 
 
I loved my Sentinel, I highly recommend that class for anyone playing. I seem to have a weird fascination for Warp as well, something about the audio from that ability is really awesome.

  Didn't play Mass Effect 2
  5.8%

I went female Infiltrator, which is eerily similar to playing as Lilith in Borderlands, which is a good thing. Extremely fun class to play as.

Still running my imported Adept. Thinking of Vanguard or Infiltrator next.

Soldier
I love using weapons

Infiltrator. The slow-mo when scoping feels really awesome, especially since all the sound around you slows down.
 
I'm surprised that so many people picked soldier.

" I'm surprised that so many people picked soldier. "

Yeah Vanguard on the first play through. Didn't like it at first but as my biotics started to open up I really dug that class. Now I am playing through using a sentinel on hardcore(slowly working up to insanity) and the special armor ability is pretty nifty, also second play through having the extra squad ability of slam adds to the fun.

Soldier for me.  I always play the Soldier/Warrior in RPGs.

Adept, it's fun but I want to play as a soldier next.

I went with the Adept, simply because it's showcase trailer won me over. I literally go through a fair share of giant battles without firing off a shot, and it's fun to watch enemies sprawl helplessly in the air before launching them away with a "throw". Great stuff.
 
I might go with Sentinel next. Having both tech and bio powers would be a real treat, plus the super defense.
 
PS: Oh, and I can't tell you what a blessing "throw" was during the husk levels. 1 hit kill + quick recharge = goodbye zombie horde.

played as an engineer in the first game, played as an engineer in the second game.
 
I miss spamming damping, overload, and sabotage all at once, though... I really liked fucking up the frame rate.
 
*Having Legion's and Tali's and your combat drones on screen at once is... awesome.

adept, same as ME1. none of the powers are as good as they were in 1 imo, but i guess the shooting around cover part is kinda neat.
 
i'm thinking of doing soldier next cause it feels like that's how they want you to play the game. was disappointed there's not even armor classes anymore, light armors looked way better to me

Vanguard.
 
Charge might be the most satisfying thing in a video game ever. Bioware really did a great job differentiating the classes this time around. Doing an Infiltrator right now and it feels like I'm playing a completely different game.

I chose Sentinel cause the tech armor is pretty awesome. On my second playthrough I got the geth shield thing as another power.

"Soldier, like a real man.   What's that? I can use the force? Fuck that. Hand me that rocket launcher. "

Vanguard.  Hard class to play, but extremely satisfying.  Charging right in front of the enemy with a shotgun sends a clear message: Do not fuck with Shepard.
 
Also... charging an enemy and then constantly meleeing them until they die is funny.

I played ME1 as the Vanguard, then the Adept.  In ME2 i picked Sentinel on a whim and really enjoyed it. The mix of biotic and tech powers was deadly, and allowed me to be very versatile.  Also Tech Armour is badass and overpowered.

I didn't believe them when they said you can fight without firing a shot, but that sounds really cool. Maybe I'll do adept next. "

Infiltrator. Love sniping in any game so for ME1 to have a class that plays to it's strengths? Why the hell not? Haha. Cloaking device in ME2? Thanks, haha.
 
I want to play as a Renegade female Shepard with some form of biotic capabilities though. Haven't touched biotics aside from telling squad mates to do so.

soldier so i could try out all the weapons and then i plan on playing through as an adept
did the same with Mass Effect

" @Serker: I played engineer too.  And I gotta agree with you about taking Legion and Tali along.  It made those Geth and mech oriented missions ridiculously easy.    Anyway, I chose sniper rifles and area reave as my extra abilities.  By the end I retrained to totally ignore Cryo Blast and AI Hacking so my other powers could be maxed out.  Being able to quickly take down any defenses myself made party selection a matter of taste more than strategy since just about any character can take out enemies with only health to worry about.  Super short recharge time, too, pretty much made my engineer the "mage" of the party.  Good times. "

I'm surprised to see so many soldiers. My reasoning for not picking soldier was my thinking that there are a million shooters already, so I wanted an more unique experience having the biotic powers.

I went with the Vanguard for my first playthrough which was fun, but not nearly as fun as the Adept. I'm going Infiltrator for my third playthrough.

Vanguard first go. but on insane the charge is a little bit useless - Moment your out of your barrier your dead lol  
Amount of soldier love is baffling o-o

I picked Soldier, and it feels a little over powered. I can use almost every weapon in the game, and can just go through it like a shooter without even bothering with my squad mates. Most of the time I just use the sniper rifle and kill them before they even get close enough to pull out another gun unless I run out of bullets. I've never once used the rocket launcher or grenade launcher since they aren't really needed.

I play infiltrator and run with Tali and Garrus (my two favs from ME1). I can't get enough sniping. Cloak is fun too.

Soldier for me, with the new combat controls it really is worth it if you enjoy the shooting.

Soldier for me two, cause the weapons were just so awesome and after awhile I picked up a killer assualt rifle and just destroyed everything in my way with incendiary/cryo ammo.
