Wonder how many things I'll need to pre-order/how many statues I'll have to buy to get the best armor.

Soldiers get access to every weapon available. I found a lot of the time that 'shooting dudes' was a lot more effective than using various powers, so it's totally a viable class. Adrenaline Rush is pretty great, and stack that with something like the Armor-Piercing Ammo, and you're able to have a bunch of different ammo mods on every weapon.

This looks better than I expected after hearing about ME3 having multiplayer. Haven't seen/read anything about it 'til now. Glad it's not competitive. Also, game itself, if those were in game graphics, looks really cool as well.

Something like 70% of the people who played Mass Effect 2 played the soldier. I agree with you that it was the least fun of all of the classes but a LOT of people played it.

Soldier was actually the most played class in ME2.

Because ME2 is so much of a TPS most people gravitated to the logical class that is best suited to simply shooting. :(

I still don't like the concept of adding multiplayer just to add value to a game.

But this looks pretty cool.

Actually, I'm pretty certain the entire GB crew played Soldier.

The multiplayer still looks weird but I love the updated look of the game. I'm actually considering getting it on PC even if it has Origin attached because I would love to play that game at 60fps with everything cranked. PC will probably be a second purchase though because I need to see the end of the story for MY 2 Shepards first.

I'm not all into the whole co-op survival stuff, but this actually looks damn cool and not like whatever it was I expected. It will be fun to try and hopefully Origin won't totally fuck up the experience.

Why? I actually have both ME1 and ME2 on both 360 and PC, but that's just because ME2 PC was free when you bought DA2 and I found ME1 PC for next to nothing in a bargain bin.

Sorry, but after ME2 the series is barely a RPG...its more of a TPS with some RPG elements!

I played as a soldier in my "perfect" paragon run of ME2. The adrenalin rush is really useful and fun and I liked being able to use all the weapons. Also, I feel like the most canonical Shepard would probably be a soldier class.
